Feature Descriptions
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload)
condition, the unit is equipped with internal
current-limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting
continuously. At the point of current-limit inception, the
unit enters hiccup mode. The unit operates normally
once the output current is brought back into its specified
range. The average output current during hiccup is 10%
IO, max.
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
turns the module on during a logic high voltage on the
ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low. Negative logic
remote On/Off, device code suffix “1”, turns the module
off during a logic high and on during a logic low.

Figure 64. Remote On/Off Implementation
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch (open collector or equivalent) to control
the voltage (Von/off) between the ON/OFF terminal and
the VIN(-) terminal. Logic low is 0V ≤ Von/off ≤ 1.2V. The
maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1mA, the switch
should be maintain a logic low level whilst sinking this
current.
During a logic high, the typical Von/off generated by the
module is 5.8V, and the maximum allowable leakage
current at Von/off = 5.8V is 10A.
If not using the remote on/off feature:
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VIN(-).
Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is
equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will
shutdown if the overtemperature threshold of 125
oC is
exceeded at the thermal reference point Tref . Once the
unit goes into thermal shutdown it will then wait to cool
before attempting to restart.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout
limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will
begin to operate at an input voltage above the
undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage protection consists of circuitry
that internally clamps the output voltage. If a more
accurate output overvoltage protection scheme is
required then this should be implemented externally via
use of the remote on/off pin.
