The thermal curves provided 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 otherwise significant
measurement errors may result.

of a robust, reliable power module.
A finite amount of heat must be dissipated
from the power module to the surrounding
environment. This heat is transferred by the
three modes of heat transfer: convection,
conduction and radiation. While all three
modes of heat transfer are present in every
application, convection is the dominant
mode of heat transfer in most applications.
However, to ensure adequate cooling and
proper operation, all three modes should be
considered in a final system configuration.

margins and enhanced system reliability, the

enhanced by increasing the airflow rate that
the power module experiences. The
maximum output current of the power
module is a function of ambient temperature
(TAMB) and airflow rate as shown in the
thermal performance figures on the thermal
performance page for the power module of
interest. The curves in the figures are
shown for natural convection through 3 m/s
(600 ft/min). The data for the natural
convection 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.
Heatsink Usage: For applications with
demanding environmental requirements,
such as higher ambient temperatures or
higher power dissipation, the thermal
performance of the power module can be
improved by attaching a heatsink or cold
plate. The iQP platform is designed with a
base plate with two M3 X 0.5 through-
threaded mounting fillings for attaching a
heatsink or cold plate. The addition of a
heatsink can reduce the airflow requirement;
ensure consistent operation and extended
reliability of the system. With improved
thermal performance, more power can be
delivered at a given environmental condition.

mounting in two different orientations

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. There is a
roughly 2ms delay from the time an overload
condition appears at the module output until
the hiccup mode will occur. A latched over-
current protection option is also available.
Consult the TDK Innoveta technical support
for details.
Remote On/Off: - The power modules have
an internal remote on/off circuit. The user
must supply an open-collector or compatible
switch between the Vin(-) pin and the on/off
pin. The maximum voltage generated by
the power module at the on/off terminal is
15V. The maximum allowable leakage
current of the switch is 50uA. The switch
must be capable of maintaining a low signal
Von/off < 1.2V while sinking 1mA.
The standard on/off logic is negative logic.
The module will turn on if pin 2 is connected
to pin 3, and it will be off if pin 2 is left open.
If the negative logic feature is not being
used, pin 2 should be shorted to pin 3.
Output Over-Voltage Protection: The
power modules have a control circuit,
independent of the main control loop, that
reduces the risk of over voltage appearing at
the output of the power module during a
fault condition. If there is a fault in the main
regulation loop, the over voltage protection
circuitry will latch the power module off once
it detects the output voltage condition as
specified on the Electrical Data page. To
remove the module from the latched
An optional positive logic is available. The
power module will turn on if pin 2 is left open
and will be off if pin 2 is connected to pin 3.
If the positive logic circuit is not being used,
terminal 2 should be left open.
condition, either cycle the input power or
toggle the remote ON/OFF pin providing that
over-voltage conditions have been removed.
The reset time of the ON/OFF pin should be
500ms or longer.
The iQP Powereta family also offers an
optional feature to allow non-latching 1-
second hiccup mode over-voltage
protection. Consult the TDK Innoveta
technical support for details.
Thermal Protection: When the power
modules exceed the maximum operating
temperature, the modules will turn-off to
safeguard the units against thermal damage.
The module will auto restart as the unit is
cooled below the over temperature
threshold. A latched over-temperature
protection option is also available. Consult
the TDK Innoveta technical support for
details.

The current limit set point does not increase
as the module is trimmed down, so the

As the output voltage increases due to the

EMC Considerations: TDK Innoveta power
modules are designed for use in a wide
variety of systems and applications. With
the help of external EMI filters and careful
layout, it is possible to meet CISPR 22 class
A or B requirement. For assistance with
designing for EMC compliance, please

The input reflected ripple is measured with a current probe and oscilloscope. The ripple current is the current through a
12µH differential mode inductor, Lin, with esr ≤ 10 mΩ, feeding a capacitor, C1, esr ≤ 700 mΩ @ 100kHz, across the
module input voltage pins. The capacitor C1 across the input shall be at least one 220µF/100V electrolytic capacitor along
with two 1uF to 2.2uF/100V ceramic capacitors. Two 220µF/100V electrolytic capacitors and two 2.2uF/100V ceramic
capacitors are recommended. A 220µF/100V capacitor for C0 is also recommended.
The output ripple measurement is made approximately 7 cm (2.75 in.) from the power module using an oscilloscope and
BNC socket. The capacitor Cext is located about 5 cm (2 in.) from the power module; its value varies from code to code
and is found on the electrical data page for the power module of interest under the ripple & noise voltage specification in
the Notes & Conditions column.

Safety Considerations:
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
applications requiring basic insulation, care
must be taken to maintain minimum
creepage and clearance distances when
routing traces near the power module.
1) The input source is isolated from the
ac mains by reinforced insulation.
2) The input terminal pins are not
accessible.
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 15A 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.
TDK Innoveta’s comprehensive line of
power solutions includes efficient, high-
density DC-DC converters. TDK Innoveta
offers a three-year limited warranty.
Complete warranty information is listed on
our web site or is available upon request
from TDK Innoveta.
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:
