Notes: During short circuit, converter will shut down and attempt to restart once per second.
The average current during this condition will be very low and the device can be safely left in this condition
continuously. For specific output voltage specifications, see the corresponding detailed data sheet.

feature:
Single-stage power conversion architecture, control, and
magnetic design allow unprecedented power density and
efficiency in an isolated power supply.
An advanced microcontroller reduces parts count while
adding features, performance, and flexibility in the design.
Application Notes
Protection and Control
Valid Input Voltage Range:
The converter measures the input voltage and will
not allow operation outside of the input voltage
specification. As shown by the graphs, hysteresis is
added to both the high and low voltage to prevent
the converter from turning on and off repeatedly
when the voltage is held near either voltage
extreme. At low line this assures the maximum
input current is not exceeded; at high line this
assures the semiconductor devices in the converter
are not damaged by excessive voltage stress.
ON/OFF Logic Option:
The ON/OFF control logic can be either Negative
(standard) or Positive to enable the converter. For
Negative logic, the ON/OFF pin is brought below
1.0V with respect to the INPUT pin to enable the
converter. For Positive logic, the ON/OFF pin is
brought to greater than 4.0V with respect to the
Enable. To request the Positive logic version, add
the suffix (P) to the standard part number. The
Input pin has a built-in pull-up resistor of
approximately 100k
to +5.0V.

APPLICATION NOTES
Output Over Voltage Protection:
The output voltage is constantly monitored by the
microprocessor. If the output voltage exceeds the
over-voltage specification, the microprocessor will
latch the converter off. To turn the converter on
requires either cycling the ON/OFF pin or power to
the converter. This feature prevents the converter
from damaging the load if there is a converter
failure or application error. If non-latching is
required, consult factory.
Thermal Shutdown:
The printed circuit board temperature is measured
using a semiconductor sensor. If the maximum
rated temperature is exceeded, the converter is
latched off. To re-enable the converter requires
cycling the ON/OFF pin or power to the converter.
If non-latching shutdown is required, consult
factory.
Control Options:
As the behavior of the circuit is determined by
firmware in the microcontroller, specific customer
requirements such as:
non-latching thermal protection
custom valid input voltage range
controlled delay from initiating an ON/OFF
signal for power sequencing can be
accomplished with no change to hardware.
The standard behavior was chosen based on
system design experience but we understand that
customers often have their own requirements.
Please consult Galaxy Power for your special
needs.
Remote Sense:
The output voltage is regulated at the point where
the sense pins connect to the power output pins.
Total sense compensation should not exceed 0.4V
or 2% of Vout, whichever is greater.
Safety:
An external input fuse must always be used to
meet safety requirements.
Trim:
To trim the output voltage higher, connect the
required trim resistor from the Trim pin to the
+Sense pin. To trim the output voltage lower,
connect the required trim resistor from the Trim pin
to the Sense pin. See diagram below.
