High Density DC-DC Modules
Application Note
Derating:
The case operating temperature range of the PS75 series is -40°C to +100°C. When operating the PS75 series, proper derating or
cooling is required.
Following is the derating curve for the PS75 without a heatsink; airflow along width (transverse).
Where:
The power dissipated (Pd):
Pd = Pi - Po = Po (1-n) / n
The thermal resistances are listed below:

The temperature rise (∆T):
∆T = Pd * Rca
The output noise is measured with a 10µF tantalum and a 1.0µF
ceramic capacitor across the output.
Output Noise
The output can be trimmed externally (±10%) using a fixed resistor or
a trimpot as shown.
