Description
The Bel xRAH-03C500 is a part of the low cost non-isolated dc/dc converter series. The modules use a SMD or
SIP package for ease of layout and space savings. The output is closely regulated and the efficiency is typically
90% at full load.

Output Trim Equations
Equations for calculating the trim resistor (in kΩ) given the desired adjusted voltage (Vadj) and the nominal output
voltage of the converter (Vnom) are shown below. The Trim Down resistor should be connected between the Trim
pin and Vout. The Trim Up resistor should be connected between the Trim pin and Ground. Only one of the
resistors should be used for any given application.
