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.:
[VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] 10%VO,
nom
The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals
must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage shut-
down voltage as indicated in the Feature Specifications
table. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote-sense compensation and output 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
VO(+) and SENSE(–) to VO(–) at the module.

Output Voltage Adjustment
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 VO(+) or VO(–)
pins. With an external resistor between the TRIM and
VO(+) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point
(VO, adj) decreases. The following equations determine
the required external resistor value to obtain an output
voltage change of %.
For the LW030F:
For the LW030A:
where Radj-down is the resistance value connected
between TRIM and VO (+).
For example, to lower the output voltage of the
LW030A by 10%, the external resistor value must be:
Radj-down = 67.8 k
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and VO(–) pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set point
(VO, adj) increases. The following equations determine
the required external resistor value to obtain an output
voltage change of %.
For the LW030F:
For the LW030A:
where Radj-up is the resistance value connected
between TRIM and VO(–).
For example, to increase the output voltage of the
LW030A by 10%, the external resistor value must be:
Radj-up = 84.7 k
