DATEL’s new LSN D3 Series SIP’s (single-in-line packages) are non-isolated DC/
DC converters that accept a 3.3V input (3.0V to 3.6V input range) and deliver 1V, 1.2V,
1.25V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2V or 2.5V outputs at 10 Amps. LSN D3 SIP’s are designed to take
on-board 3.3V power and convert it, with the highest efficiency in the smallest space,
to any lower voltage required by today’s current-hungry DSP’s, ASIC’s and CPLD’s.
The miniature size of LSN D3's makes them ideal for true point-of-use power pro-
cessing. Vertical-mount packages occupy a mere 0.7 square inches (440 sq. mm),
and they are available in industry-standard and Tyco-compatible pinout. Horizontal-
mount packages ("H" suffix) are only 0.34 inches (8.6mm) high.
The LSN's best-in-class power density is achieved with a fully synchronous,
fixed-frequency (300kHz), buck topology that also delivers: high efficiency (94% for
2.5V
OUT
models), low noise (10mVp-p typ.), tight line/load regulation (±0.1%/±0.25%
max.), quick step response (100µsec), stable no-load operation, and no output
reverse conduction.
The fully functional LSN’s feature output overcurrent detection, continuous
short-circuit protection, an output-voltage trim function, a remote on/off control pin
(pull high to disable), thermal shutdown, and a sense pin. High efficiency enables the
LSN D3's to deliver rated output currents of 10 Amps at ambient temperatures to
+71°C with no air flow (natural convection).
If your low-voltage, high-current requirements have made the use of inefficient
linear regulators impractical, take a look at one of DATEL’s easy-to-use, low-cost
LSN SIP’s. All devices are UL/IEC/EN60950 certified and EMC compliant. UL, CB,
HALT and EMC reports are available upon request.

Return Current Paths
The LSN D3 SIP’s are non-isolated DC/DC converters. Their two Common
pins (pins 5 and 6) are connected to each other internally (see Figure 1). To
the extent possible (with the intent of minimizing ground loops), input return
current should be directed through pin 6 (also referred to as –Input or
Input Return), and output return current should be directed through pin 5
(also referred to as –Output or Output Return). Any on/off control signals
applied to pin 11 (On/Off Control) should be referenced to Common
(specifically pin 6).
I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSN D3 Series are tested and specified with external 22µF
input and output capacitors. These capacitors are necessary to accommodate
our test equipment and may not be required to achieved desired performance
in your application. The LSN D3's are designed with high-quality, high-
performance
internal
I/O caps, and will operate within spec in most applica-
tions with
no additional external components.
In particular, the LSN D3's input capacitors are specified for low ESR
and are fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the
internal output capacitors are specified for low ESR and full-range frequency
response. As shown in the Performance Curves, removal of the external
output caps has minimal effect on output noise.
In critical applications, input/output ripple/noise may be further reduced using
filtering techniques, the simplest being the installation of external I/O caps.
External input capacitors serve primarily as energy-storage devices. They
minimize high-frequency variations in input voltage (usually caused by IR
drops in conductors leading to the DC/DC) as the switching converter draws
pulses of current. Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance (at
appropriate frequencies), low ESR, and high rms-ripple-current ratings. The
switching nature of modern DC/DC's requires that the dc input voltage
source have low ac impedance at the frequencies of interest. Highly inductive
source impedances can greatly affect system stability. Your specific system
configuration may necessitate additional considerations.
Output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations
or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits with the installation of
additional external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter

elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appro-
priate frequency response. Any scope measurements of PARD should be
made directly at the DC/DC output pins with scope probe ground less than
0.5" in length.
All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located
as close to the converters as possible. Temperature variations for all relevant
parameters should be taken into consideration.
The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function
of your line voltage and source impedance, as well as your particular load and
layout conditions. Our Applications Engineers can recommend potential solu-
tions and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given device’s internal filter-
ing to meet your specific requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering
Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses at
the inputs of power conversion components. LSN D3 Series DC/DC convert-
ers are not internally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory, either a
normal-blow or a slow-blow fuse with a value no greater than 17 Amps should
be installed within the ungrounded input path to the converter.
As a rule of thumb however, we recommend to use a normal-blow or slow-
blow fuse with a typical value of about twice the maximum input current,
calculated at low line with the converters minimum efficiency.
Safety Considerations
LSN D3 SIP's are non-isolated DC/DC converters. In general, all DC/DC's
must be installed, including considerations for I/O voltages and spacing/
separation requirements, in compliance with relevant safety-agency speci-
fications (usually UL/IEC/EN60950).
In particular, for a non-isolated converter's output voltage to meet SELV
(safety extra low voltage) requirements, its input must be SELV compliant.
If the output needs to be ELV (extra low voltage), the input must be ELV.
Input Overvoltage and Reverse-Polarity Protection
LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC's do not incorporate either input overvoltage or
input reverse-polarity protection. Input voltages in excess of the specified
absolute maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than "instan-
taneous" duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.
Start-Up Time
The V
IN
to V
OUT
Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a
ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specified input voltage
range (3 Volts) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within
its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source
impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of
the input voltage as it appears to the converter.
The On/Off to V
OUT
Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the
On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied to the converter.
The specification defines the interval between the time at which the converter
is turned on and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its
specified accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves.
Remote Sense
LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC converters offer an output sense function on pin 3.
The sense function enables point-of-use regulation for overcoming moderate
IR drops in conductors and/or cabling. Since these are non-isolated devices
whose inputs and outputs usually share the same ground plane, sense is
provided only for the +Output.
The remote sense line is part of the feedback control loop regulating the
DC/DC converter’s output. The sense line carries very little current and
consequently requires a minimal cross-sectional-area conductor. As such, it
is not a low-impedance point and must be treated with care in layout
and cabling. Sense lines should be run adjacent to signals (preferably
ground), and in cable and/or discrete-wiring applications, twisted-pair or
similar techniques should be used. To prevent high frequency voltage differ-
ences between V
OUT
and Sense, we recommend installation of a 1000pF
capacitor close to the converter.
The sense function is capable of compensating for voltage drops between the
+Output and +Sense pins that do not exceed 10% of V
OUT
.
[V
OUT

≤
10%V
OUT
Power derating (output current limiting) is based upon maximum output
current and voltage at the converter's output pins. Use of trim and sense
functions can cause the output voltage to increase, thereby increasing output
power beyond the LSN's specified rating. Therefore:
(V
OUT
at pins) x (I
OUT
)
≤
rated output power
The internal 10.5Ω resistor between +Sense and +Output (see Figure 1)
serves to protect the sense function by limiting the output current flowing
through the sense line if the main output is disconnected. It also prevents
output voltage runaway if the sense connection is disconnected.
Note: Connect the +Sense pin (pin 3) to +Output (pin 4) at the DC/DC
converter pins, if the sense function is not used for remote regulation.
On/Off Control and Power-up Sequencing
The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. LSN D3 SIP
Series DC/DC's are designed so they are enabled when the control pin is
left open (internal pull-down to Common) and disabled when the control pin is
pulled high (+2.8V to +V
IN
), as shown in Figure 2 and 2a.
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechanical
relay or open-collector/open-drain drive circuit. The drive circuit should be
able to sink appropriate current when activated and withstand appropriate
voltage when deactivated.

+OUTPUT
For a controlled start-up of one or more LSN-D3's, or if several output volt-
ages need to be powered-up in a given sequence, the On/Off Control pin can
be pulled high (external pull-up resistor, converter disabled) and then driven
low with an external open collector device to enable the converter.
Output Overvoltage Protection
LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC converters do not incorporate output overvoltage
protection. In the extremely rare situation in which the device’s feedback loop
is broken, the output voltage may run to excessively high levels (V
OUT
= V
IN
).
If it is absolutely imperative that you protect your load against any and all
possible overvoltage situations, voltage limiting circuitry must be provided
external to the power converter.
Output Overcurrent Detection
Overloading the output of a power converter for an extended period of
time will invariably cause internal component temperatures to exceed their
maximum ratings and eventually lead to component failure. High-current-
carrying components such as inductors, FET's and diodes are at the highest
risk. LSN D3 SIP Series DC/DC converters incorporate an output overcurrent
detection and shutdown function that serves to protect both the power
converter and its load.
If the output current exceeds it maximum rating by typically 60% (16 Amps) or
if the output voltage drops to less than 98% of it original value, the LSN D3's
internal overcurrent-detection circuitry immediately turns off the converter,
which then goes into a "hiccup" mode. While hiccupping, the converter will
continuously attempt to restart itself, go into overcurrent, and then shut down.
Under these conditions, the average output current will be approximately
400mA, and the average input current will be approximately 70mA. Once the
output short is removed, the converter will automatically restart itself.
Output Voltage Trimming
Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSN D3 SIP Series are ±10%.
Trimming is accomplished with either a trimpot or a single fixed resistor. The
trimpot should be connected between +Output and Common with its wiper
connected to the Trim pin as shown in Figure 3 below.
A trimpot can be used to determine the value of a single fixed resistor
which can then be connected, as shown in Figure 4, between the Trim pin
and +Output to trim down the output voltage, or between the Trim pin and
Common to trim up the output voltage. Fixed resistors should have absolute
TCR’s less than 100ppm/°C to ensure stability.
The equations below can be used as starting points for selecting specific trim-
resistor values. Recall, untrimmed devices are guaranteed to be ±1% accurate.
Adjustment beyond the specified ±10% adjustment range is not recommended.

Output Reverse Conduction
Many DC/DC converters using synchronous rectification suffer from Output
Reverse Conduction. If those devices have a voltage applied across their
output before a voltage is applied to their input (this typically occurs when
another power supply starts before them in a power-sequenced application),
