Maximizing Accuracy
Maximum margining accuracy is obtained by placing a
resistor between the SMM151/152 TRIM output and the
TRIM input of the converter. From the manufacturer’s
data sheet obtain the value of the internal voltage
reference and equivalent TRIM input series resistance.

Figure 7 below displays the internal trimming circuit for
a typical isolated DC-DC converter. In this example, the
converter uses positive trimming, i.e., an increase in
voltage at the TRIM pin causes an increase in output
voltage.
The next example applies to most non-isolated DC-DC
converters, LDO’s and in-system designed converters
using monolithic PWM controllers. Figure 8 is a
simplified schematic showing the resistor divider
network used to close the loop from the output to the
circuit’s feedback node. These type circuits employ
negative trimming, meaning any decrease in voltage
into the feedback node cause an increase in output
voltage.
