Summary
The IMX 7 series of board mountable 7 Watt DC-DC con-
verters has been designed according to the latest industry
requirements and standards. The converters are particularly
suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications in trans-
port, railways, industry or telecommunications where vari-
able input voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 V DC up to
150 V DC with four different types the units are available
with single and electrically isolated double outputs allowing
the configuration of output voltages from 3.3 V DC up to
48 V DC externally adjustable, with flexible load distribution
on double output units. An inhibit input allows remote con-
verter on/off.
Features include efficient input and output filtering with un-
surpassed transient and surge protection, low output ripple
and noise, consistently high efficiency over the entire input
voltage range, high reliability as well as excellent dynamic
response to load and line changes.
The converters provide supplementary insulation with
SELV outputs as e.g. required in battery supported sys-
tems where the bus voltage may exceed the SELV limit of
60 V DC. They are designed and built according to the inter-
national safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950, CAN/
CSA C22.2 No.950-95 and are LGA and UL marked. The
70 IMX 7 and 110 IMX 7 types are CE marked.
The circuit comprises of integrated planar magnetics and
all components are automatically assembled and solidly
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connections.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and re-
peatability in the control loop over all operating conditions.
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 85°C in free air without using any potting material. For
extremely high vibration environments the case has holes
for screw mounting.
Various options as e.g. extended temperature range
–40...85°C, industrial C pinout or SMD pinout provide a
high level of application specific engineering and design-in
flexibility.

Functional Description
DC-DC Converters
IMX 7 Series
The IMX 7 DC-DC modules are feedback controlled flyback
converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width Modula-
tion). See block diagram for single and double output types.
In the case of the single output units the output is directly
monitored and fed back to the primary control circuit via a
pulse transformer, resulting in tight regulation of the output
voltage. The R input is referenced to the secondary side
and allows for programming of the output voltages in the
range 75 to 105% of
U
o nom
using either an external resistor
or an external voltage source.
03041
In the case of the dual and double output units the output
voltage is monitored by a separate transformer winding
close to the secondary windings and fed back to the control
circuit. The R (Trim) input is referenced to the primary side
and allows programming of the output voltage in the range
100 to 105% of
U
o nom
by an external resistor or within 75 to
105% of
U
o nom
using an external voltage source.
Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit, thus
limiting the total output power.
The inhibit input allows remote converter on/off.
