DC-DC Converter

DC-DC Converter

(OP)
Hi, how do I set the voltage up for this DC/DC converter,8.5-36Vin,12Vo 15A,180W http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/isolated-dc-dc-conve... I'm looking for an output of 20VDC from an Input of 12VDC. Is there a set of instructions usually for something like this? thanks Paul

RE: DC-DC Converter

Buy the 24 Vdc unit and use the trim option (pages 56-57 of the application notes) to take it down to 20 Vdc.

Thanks Brian didn't realise there was a set of application notes to compliment the data sheet. Using this it was easy to calculate the SMD Resistor for solder pad mounting on the back to bring it step down to 20VDC I needed.

Thanks

Paul
