FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Output Voltage Adjustment
To increase or decrease the output voltage set point,
the modules may be connected with an external
resistor between the TRIM pin and either the Vo(+) or
Vo(-). The TRIM pin should be left open if this feature
is not used.

Figure 17: Circuit configuration for trim-down (decrease
output voltage)
If the external resistor is connected between the TRIM
and Vo(+) pins, the output voltage set point decreases
(Fig. 17). The external resistor value required to obtain
an output voltage change from 3.3V to the desired
Vo_adj is defined as:

Vo_adj 2.5−( ) 5110⋅

Figure 18: Circuit configuration for trim-up (increase output
voltage)
If the external resistor is connected between the TRIM
and Vo(-) the output voltage set point increases (Fig.
18). The external resistor value required to obtain an
output voltage change from 3.3V to the desired Vo_adj
is defined as:
Rtrim_up

Ex. When Trim-up +10%

When using trim function, the output voltage of the
module is usually increased, which increases the power
output of the module with the same output current.
Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power.
