Feature Descriptions (continued)
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 Specica-
tions table, i.e.:
[VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)]
≤ 0.5 V
The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals
must not exceed the minimum value indicated in the
output overvoltage shutdown section of the Feature
Specications table. This limit includes any increase in
voltage due to remote-sense compensation and output
voltage set-point adjustment (trim), see
Figure 21.For remote-sense operation with multiple paralleled
units, see the
Forced Load Sharing (Parallel Opera-
tion) section.
Note: The output voltage of this module may be
increased to a maximum of 0.5 V. The 0.5 V is
the combination of both the remote sense and
the output voltage set-point adjustment (trim).
If not using the remote-sense feature to regulate the out-
put at the point of load, connect SENSE(+) to VO(+) and
SENSE(–) to VO(–) at the module.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the
remote sense or the trim. Consult the factory if you
need to increase the output voltage more than the
above limitation.
The amount of power delivered by the module is
dened as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied
by the output current. When using remote sense and
trim, the output voltage of the module can be
increased, which at the same output current would
increase the power output of the module. Care should
be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of
the module remains at or below the maximum rated
power.

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. The trim resistor should be positioned
close to the module.
If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open.
With an external resistor between the TRIM and
SENSE(–) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point
(VO, adj) decreases (see Figure 15). The following equa- tion determines the required external-resistor value to
obtain a percentage output voltage change of
%.
The test results for this conguration are displayed in
Figure 23. This gure applies to all output voltages.
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and SENSE(+) pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set

nal-resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage
