LSN Series W3 are ideal building blocks for emerging, on-board power-distri-
bution schemes in which isolated 3 to 5.5V buses deliver power to any number of
non-isolated, step-down buck regulators. LSN W3 DC/DC's accept 3 to 5.5 Volts and
convert it, with the highest efficiency in the smallest space, to a 0.75, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8,
2, 2.5, or 3.3 Volt output fully rated at 16 Amps.
LSN W3's are ideal point-of-use/load power processors. They typically require
no external components. Their surface-mount packages occupy a mere 1.3" x 0.53"
(33.0 x 13.5mm), and are only 0.34 inches (8.6mm) high.
The LSN's best-in-class power density is achieved with a fully synchronous,
fixed-frequency, buck topology that also delivers: high efficiency (97%, 3.3V
OUT,
8A),
low noise (30mVp-p typ.), tight line/load regulation (±0.1%/±0.25% max.), quick step
response (30µsec), stable no-load operation, and no output reverse conduction.
The fully functional LSN’s feature output overcurrent detection, continuous short-
circuit protection, over-temperature protection, a remote on/off control pin
(pull low to disable), an output-voltage trim function, and a sense pin. High efficiency
enables the LSN W3's to deliver rated output currents of 16 Amps at ambient tem-
peratures to +65°C with natural convection.
If your new system boards call for multiple supply voltages, check out the eco-
nomics of on-board 3-5.5V distributed power. If you don't need to pay for multiple
isolation barriers, DATEL's non-isolated LSN W3 SMT's will save you money.

I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSN W3 Series are tested and specified with external
22µF tantalum input and output capacitors. These capacitors are necessary
to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve
desired performance in your application. The LSN'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 LSN'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.
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.

Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses at
the inputs of power conversion components. The LSN W3 Series are not
internally 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 cur-
rent 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
LSN W3 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
LSN W3 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 "instan-
taneous" duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.

Figure 2. Measuring Input Ripple Current
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.

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 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 W3 SMT Series DC/DC converters offer an output sense function on pin
3. The sense function enables point-of-use regulation for overcoming moder-
ate 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 differences
between V
OUT
and Sense, we recommend installation of a 1000pF capacitor
close to the converter.
Figure 3. Measuring Output Ripple/Noise (PARD)
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.
You should add only enough output capacitance to attenuate the noise to
your desired level. Large amounts of output capacitance cause poor dynamic
response (step load changes, etc.). Too great an output capacitor can make
the converter oscillate (actually increasing the noise!) while substantial
capacitance which is less than the oscillation threshold can still cause ringing
and overshoot. Finally, you must use less output capacitance if the cap is a
low ESR type (OSCON, etc.).
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.

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: If the sense function is not used for remote regulation, +Sense
(pin 3) must be tied to +Output (pin 4) at the DC/DC converter pins.
On/Off Control and Power-up Sequencing
The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. LSN W3 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 (+2.5V to +V
IN
), as shown in Figure 2 and 2a.
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechani-
cal 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.
½½½½½½
½½½½½½½½
For a controlled start-up of one or more LSN-W3'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 W3 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 power converter's output for an extended 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 W3 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 50% (24 Amps)
or if the output voltage drops to less than 98% of it original value, the LSN
W3'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
40mA. Once the output short is removed, the converter will automatically
restart itself.

Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSN W3 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 6 below.
A trimpot can be used to determine the value of a single fixed resistor
which can then be connected, as shown in Figure 7, 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 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.
When using trim in combination with Remote Sense, the maximum rated power
must not be exceeded (see Remote Sense).

The on/off control function, however, can be externally inverted so that the
converter will be disabled while the input voltage is ramping up and then
"released" once the input has stabilized.
