2. Default Pin Strap Configuration
a. Ensure the pin straps are in the following default locations before proceeding:
nENABLE = Not Used (enabled)
nTRIM_UP = Not Used
nTRIM_DN = Not Used
nOPT1 = Not Used
nOPT2 = Not Used
3. Pin Strap Functions
a. ENABLE – adding a strap on this pin will cause the converter to shut down.
b. TRIM_UP – Adding a strap in this location will adjust the output voltage
up by 10%.
c. TRIM_DN – Adding a strap in this location will adjust the output voltage down
by 10%. Only one strap can be connected at a time. If both trim straps are out,
the output voltage should be set to the model’s nominal output.
4. Trimming And Soft Start
a. For those customers who wish to trim to another voltage by changing the preset
trim resistors to another value, the trim equation shown in Figure 2 can be used:
