current-limiting circuitry and can endure current
limiting continuously. At the point of current-limit
inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. If the unit is
not configured with auto–restart, then it will latch off
following the over current condition. The module can
be restarted by cycling the dc input power for at least
one second or by toggling the remote on/off signal for
at least one second. If the unit is configured with the
auto-restart option (4), it will remain in the hiccup
mode as long as the overcurrent condition exists; it
operates normally, once the output current is brought
back into its specified range. The average output
current during hiccup is 10% I

R
Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-up) between the
TRIM pin and the VO(+) (or Sense (+)) pin increases
the output voltage set point. The following equations
determine the required external resistor value to
obtain a percentage output voltage change of Δ%:

Alternative voltage programming for output
voltage: 1.2V (-V Option)
An alternative set of trimming equations is available
as an option for 1.2V output modules, by ordering the
–V option. These equations will reduce the resistance
of the external programming resistor, making the
impedance into the module trim pin lower for
applications in high electrical noise applications.

Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between
the TRIM pin and the Vo(-) (or Sense(-)) pin
decreases the output voltage set point. To maintain
set point accuracy, the trim resistor tolerance should
be ±1.0%.
