DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS ENABLE (On/Off) The NC15 is a single phase and voltage mode controlled Buck topology. Block diagram of the converter is shown in Figure 23. The output can be trimmed in the range of The ENABLE (on/off) input allows external circuitry to put 0.9Vdc to 5.0Vdc by a resistor from Trim pin to Ground. the NC converter into a low power dissipation (sleep) mode. Positive (active-high) ENABLE is available as The converter can be turned ON/OFF by rem

THERMAL CONSIDERATION Thermal management is an important part of the system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation, sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over the entire temperature range of the module. Convection cooling is usually the dominant mode of heat transfer. Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the thermal performance of the power module is a wind tunnel. Thermal Testing Setup Delta’s DC/DC power
