Thermal Considerations and Thermal Protection
The typical output-current thermal-derating curves shown below enable
designers to determine how much current they can reliably derive from each
model of the LSN W3 Series under known ambient-temperature and air-fl ow
conditions. Similarly, the curves indicate how much air fl ow is required to reli-
ably deliver a specifi c output current at known temperatures.
heat is generated primarily by I
using thermocouples to monitor the inductor temperature and varying the load
to keep that temperature below +110°C under the assorted conditions of air
Product Adaptations
Murata Power Solutions offers variations of our core product family. These
products are available under scheduled quantity orders and may also include
separate manufacturing documentation from a mutually-agreeable Product
Specifi cation. Since these product adaptations largely share a common parts
list, similar specifi cations and test methods with their root products, they are
provided at excellent costs and delivery. Please contact MPS for details.
LSN W3 DC/DC converters do not suffer from Output Reverse Conduction.
The highest temperatures in LSN W3’s occur at their output inductor, whose

Under restricted conditions, the LSN W3 models with low output voltages
may produce up to 20 Amps of output current up to approximately +45°C

are attempting to extract the most current out of these units under demanding
temperature conditions, we advise you to monitor the output-inductor tempera-
