Summary
The IMX 35 series of board mountable 35 Watt DC-DC con-
verters has been designed according to industry require-
ments and standards. The converters are particularly suit-
able for use in mobile or stationary applications in trans-
port, railways, industry, or telecommunication where vari-
able input voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 9 V up to 150 V
with 4 different types. The units are available with up to
quadruple outputs (electrically isolated) from 3.3 V up to
60V externally adjustable and with flexible load distribution.
A shut down input allows remote converter on/off. Features
include consistently high efficiency over the entire input
voltage range, high reliability and excellent dynamic re-
sponse to load and line changes.
The converters are designed and built according to the in-
ternational safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950, CAN/
CSA C22.2 No.950-95. LGA, UL and cUL approvals are in
progress. The IMX 35 types provide basic insulation.
The circuit comprises of two planar magnetics devices and
all components are automatically assembled and solidly
soldered onto a single PCB without any wire connection.
Magnetic feedback ensures maximum reliability and
repeatability in the control loop over all operating condi-
tions. Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses
ensure the absence of hot spots providing long life in envi-
ronments where temperature cycles are a reality. The ther-
mal design without using any potting material allows opera-
tion at full load up to an ambient temperature of 71°C in
free air, operation to 110°C with airflow. For extremely high
vibration environments the case has holes for screw
mounting. Inhibit or open frame mounting provide a high
level of application specific engineering and design-in flex-
ibility.

IMX35 Series: 35W DC-DC Converters
9-36V, 18-75V, 40-121V & 60-150V Inputs
Dual/Triple/Quad Outputs 3.3V, 5V, 12V & 15V
Functional Description
The IMX35 family of DC-DC converters consists of two
feedback controlled interleaved switching flyback power
trains using current mode PWM (pulse width modulation).
Functionally the converters are of two main types.
The triple output types consist of 3 outputs Vo1, Vo2, Vo3.
Vo1 (3.3 V or 5.1 V) is generated by a power train using
synchronous rectifier technology thus enabling high effi-
ciency. Also there is active magnetic feedback on this out-
put via a pulse transformer which results in very tight and
reliable regulation of the output voltage. The other two out-
puts Vo2 and Vo3 are electrically isolated double outputs.
Vo2, Vo3 are restricted to being of the same output voltage
(i.e. D05, D12, etc.). Voltage regulation is achieved with a
passive transformer feedback from the main transformer
of that power train.
Adjustment of the output 1 (V
o1
) is provided by the Trim1
pin referenced to the secondary side and allows for pro-
gramming of the voltage of output 1 in the range of approx.
90...105% of
V
o nom
. (See:
Block diagram, triple output
types)
Product Specifications
Aug 2002
The quadruple output type consists of 4 outputs and two
power trains. Vo1, Vo4 derive from the first power train and
Vo2, Vo3 from the second one (thus each pair of outputs is
independent from the other one). Voltage regulation for
each pair of outputs is achieved with passive transformer
feedback from the main transformer of each power train.
Each pair of outputs are restricted to being of the same out-
put voltage type (i.e. D05, D12, etc.). If both power trains
have the same output voltage, all outputs may be adjusted
by means of the Trim input. (In case of different output volt-
ages, the Trim1 input influences only Vo1 and Vo4. See:
Block diagram, quadruple output types.)
The dual output types consist of two electrically isolated
outputs Vo1, Vo2. Vo1 and Vo2 derives from two power
trains and are electrically isolated. Voltage regulation for
each output is achieved with passive transformer feedback
from the main transformer of each power train. Adjustment
of the outputs voltages in the range of 90...105% of
V
o nom
is
possible via Trim input on the primary side.

Current limitation is provided by the primary circuit for each
power train and limits the possible output power for each
pair of outputs. In the case of an overload on either of the
power trains which causes the output voltage to fall less
than typically 60% of
V
o nom
, the entire converter will shut
down and automatically restart in short intervals.
Overtemperature protection is provided, this will shut down
the converter in excessive overload conditions with auto-
matic restart approximately in short intervals.

A built-in suppressor diode provides effective protection
against input transients which may be caused for example
by short-circuits accross the input lines where the network

For very high energy transients as for example to achieve
IEC/EN 61000-4-5 or ETR 283 (19 Pfl1) compliance (as per
table:
Electromagnetic Immunity)
an external inductor and
capacitor are required. The components should have simi-
lar characteristics as listed in table:
Components for exter-
nal circuitry for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 or ETR 283
(19Pfl1) compliance.
Note: The suppressor diode D is only necessary for
20 IMX 35 types.

Reverse Polarity Protection
The built-in suppressor diode also provides for reverse po-
larity protection at the input by conducting current in the re-
verse direction. An external fuse is required to limit this cur-
rent.
