5V Model Trim Values
Note that if you have not installed trim resistors to existing circuits, there is
no change from older models. Also, if you have installed a trim pot (instead of
a fixed external trim resistor), you may only need to recalibrate the trim pot.
The trim pot value normally does not need to change. If you do not install trim
resistors, leave Trim pin 6 unconnected (open).
On the trim circuit diagram, Figure 2, use the following revised table:

Finally, please note that the trailing “A” suffix in the 5V model number is not
required for ordering these converters. Use the standard model numbers
without the “A” suffix.
UNS 5 Volt Series Specification Revision Notice
In late 2003, all UNS series 5 Volt output DC/DC converters improved
some specifications and changed the trim values. The new converters are
designated with a trailing letter “A” in the model number (Example: UNS-
5/3-D12DA) marked on the unit. This designation is not used in the ordering
model number—t only appears on the device itself. These changes were un-
avoidable because of obsolescence of the PWM controller. Older 5V models
are no longer available. There is no change to 3.3 Volt output models.
All specifications are unchanged except the following:

Output Trimming
5V devices can be trimmed down to 3.0V and 3.3V devices can be trimmed
down to 2.7V using a single external trimpot or fixed resistor. The trimpot
should be connected between +V
OUT
(pins 9 and 10) and Trim (pin 6) as
shown in the figure below. The trimpot can be used to determine the value of
a single fixed resistor which can then be connected between pins 9 and 10
and 6. Fixed resistors should be metal-film types with relatively low absolute
TCR’s to ensure stability.
In order to maximize their efficiency, UNS devices employ high-value resis-
tors in their voltage feedback loop. Consequently, the external trimpots must
also be high-resistance devices (1-2 megohms). If the trimpots are acciden-
tally turned to their 0
stops, it will not damage the converters; however, the
output voltage will be pulled down to an unstable level. Use care not to trim
the output voltage below the levels indicated in the accompanying table.
