28V Wide Input
Primary Control – PC Pin
Module Enable/Disable
Module Alarm
The module may be disabled by pulling PC below 2.3V with respect
to the –Input. This may be done with an open collector transistor,
relay, or optocoupler. Multiple converters may be disabled
with a single transistor or relay either directly or via “OR’ing”
diodes. See Figure 2.
The module contains “watchdog” circuitry which monitors input
voltage, operating temperature and internal operating parameters.
In the event that any of these parameters are outside of their
allowable operating range, the module will shut down and PC will
go low. PC will periodically go high and the module will check
to see if the fault (as an example, overtemperature) has cleared.
If the fault has not been cleared, PC will go low again and the
cycle will restart. The SC pin will go low in the event of a fault
and return to its normal state after the fault has been cleared. See
Figures 3 and 5.
Primary Auxiliary Supply
At 5.7V, PC can source up to 1.5mA. In the example shown in
Figure 4, PC powers a module enabled LED.
