Both the thermal curves provided and the example given above are based upon measurements made in TDK Innoveta’s
experimental test setup that is described in the Thermal Management section. Due to the large number of variables in
system design, TDK Innoveta recommends that the user verify the module’s thermal performance in the end application.
The critical component should be thermo coupled and monitored, and should not exceed the temperature limit specified in
the derating curve above. It is critical that the thermocouple be mounted in a manner that gives direct thermal contact or
significant measurement errors may result. TDK Innoveta can provide modules with a thermocouple pre-mounted to the
critical component for system verification tests.

A finite amount of heat must be dissipated
from the power module to the surrounding

of heat transfer in most applications.

condition has been collected at 0.3 m/s (60
ft/min) of airflow, which is the typical airflow
generated by other heat dissipating
components in many of the systems that
these types of modules are used in. In the
final system configurations, the airflow rate
for the natural convection condition can vary
due to temperature gradients from other heat
dissipating components.
The standard on/off logic is positive logic.
The power module will turn on if terminal 2 is
left open and will be off if terminal 2 is
connected to terminal 3. If the positive logic
circuit is not being used, terminal 2 should
be left open.
An optional negative logic is available. The
power module will turn on if terminal 2 is
connected to terminal 3, and it will be off if
terminal 2 is left open. If the negative logic
feature is not being used, terminal 2 should
be shorted to terminal 3.
Operating Information:
Over-Current Protection: The power
modules have current limit protection to
protect the module during output overload
and short circuit conditions. During overload
conditions, the power modules may protect
themselves by entering a hiccup current limit
mode. The modules will operate normally
once the output current returns to the
specified operating range

Thermal Protection: When the power

threshold.

calculated to be greater than 3.9M hours at
full output power and Ta = 40˚C using the
Telcordia SR-332 calculation method.
Improper handling or cleaning processes can
adversely affect the appearance, testability,
and reliability of the power modules. Contact
TDK Innoveta technical support for guidance
regarding proper handling, cleaning, and
soldering of TDK Innoveta’s power modules.
Input Impedance:
The source impedance of the power feeding
the DC/DC converter module will interact
with the DC/DC converter. To minimize the
interaction, a 33-100uF input electrolytic
capacitor should be present if the source

The output ripple measurement is made approximately 9 cm (3.5 in.) from the power module

Safety Considerations:
When the supply to the DC-DC converter is
less than 60Vdc, the power module meets
all of the requirements for SELV. If the
input voltage is a hazardous voltage that
exceeds 60Vdc, the output can be
considered SELV only if the following
conditions are met:
Check with TDK Innoveta for the current
status of safety approval on the iEB product
family.
For safety agency approval of the system in
which the DC-DC power module is installed,
the power module must be installed in
compliance with the creepage and clearance
requirements of the safety agency. The
isolation is basic insulation. For
1) The input source is isolated from the
ac mains by reinforced insulation.
2) The input terminal pins are not
accessible.
applications requiring basic insulation, care
must be taken to maintain minimum
creepage and clearance distances when
routing traces near the power module.
3) One pole of the input and one pole
of the output are grounded or both
are kept floating.
4) Single fault testing is performed on
the end system to ensure that under
a single fault, hazardous voltages
do not appear at the module output.
As part of the production process, the power
modules are hi-pot tested from primary and
secondary at a test voltage of 1500Vdc.
Warranty:
To preserve maximum flexibility, the power
modules are not internally fused. An
external input line normal blow fuse with a
maximum value of 10A is required by safety
agencies. A lower value fuse can be
selected based upon the maximum dc input
current and maximum inrush energy of the
power module.
