PRODUCT OVERVIEW
LSN Series W3 are ideal building blocks for emerg-
ing, on-board power-distribution schemes in which
isolated 3 to 5.5V buses deliver power to any num-
ber 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 com-
ponents. 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%, 3.3Vout, 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 over-
current detection, continuous short-circuit protec-
tion, over-temperature protection, a remote on/off
control pin (pull low to disable), an output-voltage
trim function, and a sense pin. High efficiency en-
ables the LSN W3’s to deliver rated output currents
of 16 Amps at ambient temperatures to +65°C
with natural convection.
If your new system boards call for multiple sup-
ply voltages, check out the economics 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.

Physical
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 appropri-
ate 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 imped-
ances can greatly affect system stability. Your specific system configuration
may necessitate additional considerations.

Input Fusing
Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses at the
inputs of power conversion components. The LSN W3 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
fast-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/separation
requirements, in compliance with relevant safety-agency specifications (usually
UL/IEC/EN60950-1).
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 speci-
fied absolute maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than
“instantaneous” 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 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

OUT
Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a ramp-
ing 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 volt-
age 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 moderate
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 conse-
quently 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 capaci-
tance 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 func-
tion 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.

Power derating (output current limiting) is based upon maximum output cur-
rent 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

rated output power
The internal 10.5: 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 Figures 4 and 5.
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.
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 protec-
tion. 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.
Output Voltage Trimming
Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSN W3 Series are ±10%. Trim-
ming 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.
Figure 4. Driving the On/Off Control Pin with an Open-Collector Drive Circuit
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.
