Description
The IMS7 Series of board mountable 7 watt DC-DC
converters has been designed according to the latest
industry requirements and standards. The converters are
particularly suitable for use in industry or tele-
communications where variable input voltages or high
transient voltages are prevalent.
Providing two wide input voltage ranges, 14 to 36 V DC and
36 to 75 VDC, models are available with single and
electrically isolated double outputs allowing the
configuration of output voltages from 3.3 up to 48 VDC
externally adjustable, with flexible load distribution on
double output units. An inhibit input allows remote
converter on/off.
Features include efficient input and output filtering with
unsurpassed 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 required in battery supported systems
where the bus voltage may exceed the SELV limit of
60 VDC. They are designed and built according to the
international safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950,
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 950-95 and are LGA and UL marked.
A special feature is their small case size, 2" x 1" with
10.5 mm profile.
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
repeatability 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 71°C in free air without using any
potting material. For extremely high vibration environments
the case has holes for screw mounting.

IMS7 Series Data Sheet, 7-Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The IMS 7 DC-DC modules are feedback controlled flyback
converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width Modula-
tion).
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.
In the case of the 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-input is referenced to the primary side and allows pro-
gramming 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 current (I
o nom
for the single and
I
o1 nom
+
I
o2 nom
for the double output types).
The inhibit input allows remote converter shutdown.

Input Transient Voltage Protection
In many applications transient voltages on the input of the
converter are always possible. These may be caused for ex-
ample be short circuits between Vi+ and Vi– where the net-
work inductance may cause high energy pulses.
In order to protect the converter a large transient voltage
supressor has been fitted to the input of the IMS7 types.
Specifications as per table below.
Reverse Polarity Protection at Input
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse di-
rection, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is required
to limit this current:
– For 24 IMS 7 a fast 2 A (F2A) fuse is recommended.
– For 48 IMS 7 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse is recommended.
Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.

are possible then an external limiting network such
as the circuit recommended for IEC 801-5, level 2 compli-
ance is necessary.
To achieve IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance an addi-
tional inductor and capacitor should be provided externally
as shown in the figure below. The components should have
similar characteristics as listed in table 9.
To withstand the 150 V transient according to 19 Pfl 1, appli-
cable for 48 IMS 7 types, the same external circuitry with
similar components as for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 com-
pliance can be used.
