Operational Features
• High efficiency, >89% at full rated load current
• Delivers up to 4 amps of output current (96W) with min-
imal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide operating input voltage range: 9V – 22V
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI per-
formance
• No minimum load requirement means no preload resis-
tors required
Open Frame
Encased
Pr otection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low
input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection protects
converter and load from permanent damage and conse-
quent hazardous conditions
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter
from external load induced pre-bias
• Output over-voltage protection protects load from dam-
aging voltages
• Thermal shutdown protects converter from abnormal
environmental conditions
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard quarter-brick pin-out configuration
• Industry standard size: 1.45” x 2.3” (36.8x58.4mm)
• Total open frame height less than 0.43” (10.9mm), per-
mits better airflow and smaller card pitch
• Total open frame weight: 1.5 oz. (42 grams)
• Flanged pins designed to permit surface mount soldering
(allowing to avoid wave solder) using FPiP technique
Safety Features
• 2250V, 30 MW input-to-output isolation provides
input/output ground separation
• UL/cUL 60950-1 recognized (US & Canada), basic
insulation rating (pending)
• TUV certified to EN60950-1 (pending)
• Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives which
facilitates CE Marking in user’s end product
• Board and plastic components meet UL94V-0 flammabil-
ity requirements
Contr ol Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side
• Remote sense for the output voltage compensates for
output distribution drops
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and voltage
margining

Note 1: Start-up guaranteed above 10V, but will operate down to 9V.
Note 2: Output is terminated with 1 µF ceramic and 15 µF low-ESR tantalum capacitors (only 1µF ceramic for Vout > 18 V).
Note 3: Higher values of isolation capacitance can be added external to the module.
