(DEP-003)
The IPM- C Series POL converters
The IPM Series, single output, non-isolated
point of load DC/DC converters, are the latest
offering from a world leader in power systems
technology and manufacturing ― Delta
Electronics, Inc. They operate from a
3V~5.5V (IPM04C) or an 8V~14V (IPM12C)
source and provide a programmable output
voltage of 0.8V to 3.3V(IPM04C) or 0.8V to
5V(IPM12C).

4.1 Connect one lead from the “+” lead of the power supply to the “20A” terminal of the first multimeter DMM1. Then connect one lead from the “Common” of the DMM1 to the “Vin” pin of the Evaluation Board. Set function of DMM1 to DCA to measure the input current. 4.2 Connect one wire from the “-” lead of the power supply (Item 3.1) to the “Vin-“ pin of the Evaluation Board. Note: Use stranded leads at least equivalent to 14 AWG for all connections in sections 4.1 and 4.2. 4.3 Conn

6) SW3 is used for the trim-down or trim-up setting of the Output Voltage. For IPM, if the converter requires a trim up, set SW3 to the Trim-up position. If the converter requires a trim down, set SW3 to the Trim-down position. For normal operating, turn off the SW3. 7) SW4 and SW5 are used for the Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment by external resistors. For IPM12C0A0R04A, if the converter requires a trim-up to 5V, set the SW4_1 to ON position and SW3 to trim-up position. If the conv

For IPM04C series To implement Trim-up by using an external resistor, R must be connected between the trim-up TRIM pin and ground. For IPM04C0A0R06A, Please refer to the IPMR table for the desired Vout. The value of R can be calculated by the following equation and the datasheet can trim-up also be referred for further information. 7.0 R = − 0.187 k Ω trim −up V − 0.9 out To implement Trim-down by using an external resistor, R must be connected between trim-down the T
