FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Remote Sense
The DCM provide Vo remote sensing to achieve proper
regulation at the load points and reduce effects of
distribution losses on output line. In the event of an open
remote sense line, the module shall maintain local sense
regulation through an internal resistor. The module shall
correct for a total of 0.5V of loss. The remote sense line
impedance shall be < 10.

Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the DCM can be programmed to any
voltage between 0.69Vdc and 5.0Vdc by connecting one
resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 43) between the TRIM
and GND pins of the module. Without this external resistor,
the output voltage of the module is 0.69 Vdc. To calculate
the value of the resistor Rtrim for a particular output
voltage Vo, please use the following equation:

Rtrim is the external resistor in kΩ
Vo is the desired output voltage.
For example, to program the output voltage of the DCM
module to 5.0Vdc, Rtrim is calculated as follows:

using an external resistor
Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common
output voltages, By using a 0.5% tolerance trim resistor, set
point tolerance of ±1.5% can be achieved as specified in
the electrical specification.
Table 1
Certain restrictions apply on the output voltage set point
depending on the input voltage. These are shown in the
Output Voltage vs. Input Voltage Set Point Area plot in
Figure 44. The Upper Limit curve shows that for output
voltages of 0.9V and lower, the input voltage must be
lower than the maximum of 14V. The Lower Limit curve
shows that for output voltages of 3.3V and higher, the input
voltage needs to be larger than the minimum of 4.5V.
