36-75 VDC Input; 5.0 VDC @ 40 A Output
by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s
actual output power remains at or below the
maximum allowable output power.
Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 6)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down
20% relative to the rated output voltage by the
addition of an externally connected resistor.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not
being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 F
capacitor is connected internally between the TRIM
and SENSE(-) pins.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim
resistor, RT-INCR, should be connected between the
TRIM (Pin 6) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7), with a value of:

Trimming/sensing beyond 110% of the rated output
voltage is not an acceptable design practice, as this
condition could cause unwanted triggering of the
output overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit. The
designer should ensure that the difference between
the voltages across the converter’s output pins and
its sense pins does not exceed 10% of VOUT(NOM),
