Output Voltage Adjustment
Output voltage adjustment allows the user to increase
or decrease the output voltage set point of a module.
This is accomplished by connecting an external resis-
tor between the TRIM pin and either the SENSE(+) or
SENSE(–) pins (see Figures
18 and
19). With an exter-
nal resistor between the TRIM and SENSE(–) pins
(Radj-up), the output voltage set point (VO, adj) increases.

Internal Resistor Values
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and SENSE(+) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set
point (VO, adj) decreases.

The combination of the output voltage adjustment
range and the output voltage sense range given in the
Feature Specifications table cannot exceed 110% of
the nominal output voltage between the Vo(+) and
Vo(–) terminals.
The CC030-Series Power Modules have a fixed cur-
rent-limit set point. Therefore, as the output voltage is
adjusted down, the available output power is reduced.
In addition, the minimum output current is a function of
the output voltage. As the output voltage is adjusted
down, the minimum required output current can
increase.

Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control cir-
cuitry, which is independent of the primary regulation
loop that monitors the voltage on the output terminals.
The control loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set
point than the primary loop (see Feature Specifications
table). This provides a redundant voltage-control that
reduces the risk of output overvoltage.
