Application Note
Derating:
The operating case temperature range of the PS50W series is -40°Cto +100°C. When operating the PS50W series,
proper derating or cooling is needed.
Following is the derating curve of PS50W without heat sink.
Where:
The power dissipation (Pd):
Pd = Pi - Po = Po (1-n) /n
The thermal resistance are listed below:

Remote ON/OFF Control
The PS50W Series allows the user to switch the module on and off electronically with remote on/off feature.
The PS50W Series are available in "positive logic" or "negative logic" (option).
External Output Trimming
Output may optionally be externally trimmed (+10%) with a fixed resistor or an external trimpot as shown.
Output Noise
The output noise is measur
ed with 10
µF tantalum capacitor and 1.0µF ceramic capacitor acr
oss output.
