					Thermal Considerations  
					overload short-circuit condition  
					If a converter, mounted on a PCB, is located in free, quasi-  
					stationary air (convection cooling) at the indicated maximum  
					ambient temperature TA max (see table Temperature specifi-  
					cations) and is operated at its nominal input voltage and output  
					power, the case temperature TC (TC Z with option Z) measured  
					at the measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical  
					Data) will approach the indicated value TC max after the warm-  
					up phase. However, the relationship between TA and TC  
					depends heavily on the conditions of operation and integration  
					into a system. The thermal conditions are influenced by input  
					voltage, output current, airflow, temperature of surrounding  
					components and the surfaces and properties of the printed  
					circuit board. TA max is therefore only an indicative value, and  
					under practical operating conditions, the ambient temperature  
					TA may be higher or lower than this value.

					Series and Parallel Connection  
					The outputs of one or several double-output power trains may  
					be connected in series respecting the current limitation.  
					Caution: The case temperature TC (or TC Z) measured at the  
					measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) may  
					under no circumstances exceed the specified maximum value.  
					The installer must ensure that under all operating conditions TC (or  
					TC Z) remains within the limits stated in the table Temperature  
					specifications.  
					Both outputs of the same power train can always be  
					connected in parallel in will behave like a single output.  
					Several outputs of the same converter with equal output  
					voltage (e.g. 5 V / 5 V) can be connected in parallel and will  
					share their output currents almost equally.  
					The converters provide the specified output power with free air  
					convection cooling. In the upper temperature range the output  
					power derating below should be observed.  
					If outputs of the same converter are being parallel and series-  
					connected, it is recommended that outputs from the same  
					power trains are parallel-connected first. This applies for  
					instance, if 24 V shall be generated by a converter with four  
					12 V outputs; see fig. 7.

					Overtemperature Protection  
					Vo3–  
					11  
					The converter is protected against possible overheating by  
					means of an internal temperature monitoring circuit. It shuts  
					down the converter above the internal temperature limit and  
					attempts to automatically restart. This feature prevents  
					excessive internal temperature building up which could occur  
					under heavy overload conditions.

					Note: Parallel operation of several converters may cause start-  
					up problems. This becomes noticable in applications, where one  
					converter is not able to deliver allone the full resistive and  
					capacitive load current, as it is required in true redundant systems.  
					Short Circuit Behavior  
					The current limit characteristic shuts down the converter  
					whenever a short circuit is applied to an output. It acts self-  
					protecting and automatically recovers after removal of the  
					overload condition (hiccup mode).
