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 such as extended temperature range
–40...85°C an uncased low profile version provide a high
level of application specific engineering and design-in flex-
ibility.

IMX SERIES
IMX 7 DC/DC Series Data Sheet
7W Board Mountable Converter
Functional Description
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
V
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
V
o nom
by an external resistor or within 75 to
105% of
V
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.

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 by short circuits between Vi+ and Vi– where the net-
work inductance may cause high energy pulses.
In order to protect the converters the IMX 7 types have a
built-in transient protection as per table below:

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:
Components for
external circuitry to comply with IEC/EN 61000-4-5.
Please note: The suppressor diode D is only necessary for
20 IMX 7 types. To withstand 150 V transients according to
19 Pfl 1, applicable for 40 IMX 7 types, the same external
circuitry with similar components as for IEC/EN 61000-4-5,
level 2 compliance can be used.

The built-in overvoltage lockout circuit shuts down the converter
at approx. 38 V protecting the input up to 50 V DC. For higher
transient voltages an external suppressor or voltage limiting
circuit as e.g. for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance should
be provided.
If transients generating currents above the peak pulse current
are possible then an external limiting network such as the circuit
recommended for IEC/EN 61000-4-5, level 2 compliance is
necessary.

Reverse Polarity Protection at Input
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for re-
verse polarity protection by conducting current in the re-
verse direction, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is
required to limit this current:
– For 20 IMX 7 a fast 2 A (F2A) fuse is recommended.
– For 40 IMX 7 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse is recommended.
– For 70 IMX 7 a fast 0.63 A (F.63A) fuse is recommended.
– For 110 IMX 7 a fast 0.63 A (F.63A) 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.
