Figure 14. Remote On/Off Implementation
Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections. The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output terminals must not exceed the out-
put voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifica-
tions table, i.e.:
[V
O
(+) – V
O
(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)]
≤
1.2 V
The voltage between the V
O
(+) and V
O
(–) terminals
must not exceed 5.9 V. This limit includes any increase
in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and out-
put voltage set-point adjustment (trim), see Figure 15.
If not using the remote-sense feature to regulate the
output at the point of load, then connect SENSE(+) to
V
O
(+) and SENSE(-) to V
O
(-) at the module.

Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment
(Trim)
Output voltage trim allows the user to increase or
decrease the output voltage set point of a module. This
is accomplished by connecting an external resistor
between the TRIM pin and either the SENSE(+) or
SENSE(–) pins. With an external resistor between the
TRIM and SENSE(–) pins (R
adj-down
), the output voltage
set point (V
o, adj
) decreases (see Figure 16). The follow-
ing equation determines the required external-resistor
value to obtain a percentage output voltage change of
%.
%
The test results for this configuration are displayed in
Figure 17. This figure applies to all output voltages.
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and SENSE(+) pins (R
adj-up
), the output voltage set
point (V
O, adj
) increases (see Figure 18).
The following equation determines the required exter-
nal-resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage
change of
%.
The test results for this configuration are displayed in
Figure 19.
The voltage between the V
O
(+) and V
O
(–) terminals
must not exceed 5.9 V. This limit includes any increase
in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and out-
put voltage set-point adjustment (trim). See Figure 15.
If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open.
