R Control
for Output Voltage Adjustment
Note: With open R input,
Vo
≈ Vo nom.
The output voltage
Vo can either be adjusted with an exter-
nal reference voltage (
Vext) or with an external resistor (R1
or
R2). The adjustment range is 0 - Vo max. The minimum dif-
ferential voltage
DVio min between input and output (see:
Electrical Input Data) should be maintained. Undervoltage
lock-out = minimum input voltage.

CS
Current Sharing
For parallel operation of several modules, interconnecting
all CS pins ensures that the output currents are evenly dis-
tributed. This feature improves transient load performance
and increases system reliability. All paralleled units should
be
supplied
by
equal
input
voltage
(
Vi)
and
interconnecting leads should have equal length and cross
section to ensure equal voltage drop.
