FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Output Voltage Adjustment (TRIM)
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 SENSE(+) or
SENSE(-). The TRIM pin should be left open if this
feature is not used.
Figure 22: Circuit configuration for trim-down (decrease
output voltage)
If the external resistor is connected between the TRIM
and SENSE (-) pins, the output voltage set point
decreases (Fig. 22). The external resistor value required
to obtain a percentage of output voltage change △% is
defined as:

Figure 23: Circuit configuration for trim-up (increase output
voltage)
If the external resistor is connected between the TRIM
and SENSE (+) the output voltage set point increases
(Fig. 23). The external resistor value required to obtain

The output voltage can be increased by both the remote
sense and the trim, however the maximum increase is
the larger of either the remote sense or the trim, not the
sum of both.
When using remote sense and trim, 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.
