Description
The IMS6 Series of board-mountable 6 Watt DC-DC
converters has been designed according to the latest
industry requirements and standards. The converters are
particularly suitable for use in mobile or stationary
applications in transport, industry or telecommunications
where variable input voltages or high transient voltages are
prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 18 VDC up to
75 VDC, with single and dual outputs from 5 VDC up to
±15 VDC with flexible load distribution on dual outputs.
The converters are designed and built according to the
international safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950,
CAN/CSA C22.2 No.950-95 and are LGA and UL marked.
A special feature is their small case size, DIL 24 with only
an 8.5 mm profile. The circuit comprises integrated planar
magnetics and all components are automatically
assembled and solidly soldered onto a single PCB without
any wire connections. Thanks to the rigid mechanical
design, the converters withstand an extremely high level of
shock and vibrations. Careful considerations of possible
thermal stresses ensure the absence of hot spots providing
long life in environments where temperature cycles are a
reality. The thermal design allows operation at full load up to
an ambient temperature of 71 °C in free air without using
any potting material.
Option:- K-pinout, an alternative to the standard industrial
pinout, provides a high level of application specific
engineering and design-in flexibility.

IMS6 Series Data Sheet, 6-Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMS6 DC-DC converters are feedback controlled
flyback converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation).
The converter input is protected against transients by
means of a suppressor diode.
The output voltage is monitored by a separate transformer
winding close to the secondary windings and fed back to
the control circuit.
03044
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus
limiting the total output current (I
o nom
for the single and
I
o1 nom
+
I
o2 nom
for the dual output types).
The close magnetic coupling provided by the planar
construction ensures very good regulation and allows for
flexible load distribution on dual output types.

Reverse Polarity Protection at Input

The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse
direction, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is
required to limit this current:

Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.

Filter recommendations for compliance with EN 55022
Electromagnetic emission requirements according to table

can be achieved by adding an external capacitor
as close as possible to the input terminals.
