Note: Resistor values are in kΩ. Adjustment accuracy is subject to resistor 
tolerances and factory-adjusted output accuracy. V
O = desired output voltage.
Standard USQ's have a "positive trim" where a single resistor connected from 
the Trim pin (pin 6) to the +Sense (pin 7) will increase the output voltage. 
A resistor connected from the Trim Pin (pin 6) to the –Sense (pin 5) will 
decrease the output voltage. DATEL also offers a "negative trim" function (D 
suffix added to the part number). Contact DATEL for information on negative 
trim devices.
Trim adjustments greater than the specified +10%/–20% can have an 
adverse affect on the converter’s performance and are not recommended. 
Excessive voltage differences between V
OUT and Sense, in conjunction with 
trim adjustment of the output voltage, can cause the overvoltage protection 
circuitry to activate (see Performance Specifications for overvoltage limits). 
Temperature/power derating is based on maximum output current and volt
-
age at the converter's output pins. Use of the trim and sense functions can 
cause output voltages to increase, thereby increasing output power beyond 
the USQ's specified rating, or cause output voltages to climb into the output 
overvoltage region. Therefore:
  (V
OUT at pins) x (IOUT) ≤ rated output power 
The Trim pin (pin 6) is a relatively high impedance node that can be suscep
-
tible to noise pickup when connected to long conductors in noisy environ
-
ments. In such cases, a 0.22
µF capacitor can be added to reduce this long 
lead effect.
