Description
The IMX15, IMS15, and IMY15 Series of board mountable 15-
Watt DC-DC converters have been designed according to the
latest industry requirements and standards. The converters
are particularly suitable for use in mobile or stationary
applications in transport, railways, industry, or telecommu-
nications, where variable input voltages or high transient
voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 up to 150 V with
different models, the converters are available with single and
electrically-isolated double outputs from 3.3 up to 48 V,
externally adjustable, with flexible load distribution on double-
output models. A shutdown input allows for remote on/off.
Features include efficient input and output filtering and
consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range,
high reliability, and excellent dynamic response to load and
line changes.
The converters have been approved by CSA. 20IMS/20IMX15
and 40IMS/40IMX15 models provide supplementary in-
sulation. Connected to a secondary circuit, these models
provide SELV outputs, even if the bus voltage at the converter
1

110IMY15
models
input exceeds the SELV-limit of 60 VDC. The 110IMY15
models provide double insulation and are CE marked. They
may be connected to a rectified 110 VAC source without any
further isolation barrier.
The circuitry is comprised of integrated planar magnetics. All
components are automatically assembled and solidly soldered
onto a single PCB without any wire connection. Magnetic
feedback ensures maximum reliability and repeatability in the
control loop over all operating conditions. Careful con-
sideration of possible thermal stress ensures the absence of
hot spots providing long life in environments, where
temperature cycles are frequent. The thermal design allows
operation at full load up to an ambient temperature of 71 °C in
free air without using any potting material. For extremely high
vibration environments the case has holes for screw mounting.

15 -Watt DC-DC Converters
RoHS- Compliant Models
The type designation of RoHS-compliant models (compliant for the restriction of all six substances) for the IMX/IMY15 Series
ends with "G".
However, in single-output models with 3.3 V or 5.1 V output an extra hyphen (-) is added after the existing "G", which already
signifies a synchronous rectifier. This is an exception to Power-One's normal nomenclature to identify this type of product, since
G is already used to designate products for higher output current fitted with a synchronous rectifier. As an example
– 20IMX15-05-8R-G means a standard version with RoHS compliance for all six substances.
– 20IMX15-05-8RG means a synchronous rectifier version which is not RoHS-compliant.
– 20IMX15-05-8RG-G means a synchronous rectifier version and with RoHS compliance for all six substances.
– 20IMX15-05-05-8RG means a double-output model with RoHS compliance for all six substances
– 110IMY15-24-24-8RG means a double-output model with RoHS compliance for all six substances.

IMX15, IMS15, IMY15 Series Data Sheet
15 -Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMX15/IMS15/IMY15 Series of DC-DC converters are
magnetic feedback-controlled flyback converters using current
mode PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The -05- and -0503-
output voltage models, as well as all double-output models
fitted with option R, exhibit an active magnetic feedback loop
via a pulse transformer, resulting in very tight regulation of the
output voltage (see the block diagrams). The output voltages
of these models can be adjusted via the R input. The R input
is referenced to the secondary side and allows for
programming the output voltages in the range of
approximately 80 to 105% of
V
o nom
, using either an external
resistor or an external voltage source.
Several single-output models with 3.3 or 5.1 V output exhibit a
synchronos rectifier to improve the efficiency.
The voltage regulation on the double-output models without
option R is achieved with a passive transformer feedback
from the main transformer (see fig. 3). The output voltages
can be adjusted via the Trim input. The Trim input is
referenced to the primary side and allows for programming
the output voltage in the range 100 to 105% of
V
o nom
via an
external resistor or within 75 to 105% using an external
voltage source. The load regulation output characteristic
allows for paralleling of one or more double-output models
with equal output voltage.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus
limiting the total output power of double-output models. The
shut-down input allows remote converter on/off.
Overtemperature protection will disable the converter under
excessive overload conditions with automatic restart.
