LSM2 Series
Single Output, Non-isolated, Selectable-Output POL DC/DC Converters
C&D’s miniature POL switching DC/DC converters are ideal regula-
tion and supply elements for distributed power and intermediate bus
architectures.
FEATURES
n
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
They are fully compatible with the Distributed-
power Open Standards Alliance specification
(www.dosapower.com). LSM2’s can power CPU’s,
programmable logic and mixed voltage systems
with little heat and low noise. A typical application
uses a master isolated 2 or 5 Volt DC supply and
individual LSM2 converters for local .8 and 3.3
Volt DC supplies. All system isolation resides in the
SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC
central supply, leaving lower cost POL regula-
tion right at the load. Unlike linear regulators, the
LSM2’s can deliver very high power (up to 52
Watts) in a tiny area with no heat sinking and no
external components needed. They feature quick
transient response (to 25µsec) and very fast current
slew rates (to 20A/µsec).

The On/Off Control may be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages

Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2% from the
selected setting.
If Sense is connected remotely at the load, up to 0.5 Volts difference is allowed between the

pins to compensate for ohmic voltage drop in the power lines. A larger voltage
drop may cause the converter to exceed maximum power dissipation.
TECHNICAL NOTES
I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSM2 Series are tested and specified with external
|| 0µF ceramic/tantalum output capacitors and a 22µF tantalum input ca-
pacitor. These capacitors are necessary to accommodate our test equipment
and may not be required to achieve desired performance in your application.
The LSM2's are designed with high-quality, high-performance internal I/O
caps, and will operate within spec in most applications with no additional
external components.
In particular, the LSM2's input capacitors are specified for low ESR and are
fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the internal out-
put capacitors are specified for low ESR and full-range frequency response.
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 appropriate fre-
quency 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
solutions and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given device’s internal
filtering to meet your specific requirements. Contact our Applications Engineer-
ing Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses at
the inputs of power conversion components. The LSM2 Series are not inter-
nally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory, either a normal-blow or a
fast-blow fuse with a value no greater than twice the maximum input current
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 converter's minimum efficiency.
Safety Considerations
LSM2 SMT's are non-isolated DC/DC converters. In general, all DC/DC's
must be installed, including considerations for I/O voltages and spacing/sepa-
ration 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
LSM2 SMT 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 "instantaneous"
duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.

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 differences between V
OUT
and Sense, we recommend installation of a 000pF 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 0% of V

.

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 LSM2's specified rating. Therefore:

The internal 0.5W resistor between +Sense and +Output (see Figure )
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: If the sense function is not used for remote regulation, +Sense
must be tied to +Output at the DC/DC converter pins.
Sense Input

ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specified input voltage
range and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its speci-
fied accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source imped-
ance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of the input
voltage as it appears to the converter.

Use the Sense input with caution. Many applications do not need the Sense
connection. Sense is intended to correct small output accuracy errors caused
by the resistive ohmic drop in output wiring as output current increases. This
output drop (the difference between Sense and V
OUT
when measured at the
converter) should not be allowed to exceed 0.5V. Consider using heavier wire
if this drop is excessive.
Sense is connected at the load and corrects for resistive errors only. Be careful
where it is connected. Any long, distributed wiring and/or significant inductance
introduced into the Sense control loop can adversely affect overall system sta-
bility. If in doubt, test the application, and observe the DC/DC's output transient
response during step loads. There should be no appreciable ringing or oscilla-
tion. You may also adjust the output trim slightly to compensate for voltage loss
in any external filter elements. Do not exceed maximum power ratings.
On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. Positive logic
LSM2 Series DC/DC converters are designed so that they are enabled when
the control pin is left open (open collector) and disabled when the control pin
is pulled low (to less than +0.3V relative to Common). As shown in Figure 4,
all models have an internal pull-up current source to V
IN
(+Input).
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechani-
cal relay or open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated if
appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current when
activated and withstand appropriate voltage when deactivated.
Applying an external voltage to the On/Off Control pin when no input power is
applied to the converter can cause permanent damage to the converter. The
on/off control function, however, is designed such that the converter can be
disabled (control pin pulled low) while input voltage is ramping up and then
"released" once the input has stabilized (see also power-up sequencing).

Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the

The specification defines the interval between the time at which the converter

specified accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves.
Remote Sense
LSM2 Series offer an output sense function. The sense function enables point-
of-use regulation for overcoming moderate IR drops in conductors and/or ca-
bling. 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,
