Original question:

DCPA10505: Can DCP10505 parallel for higher current output?

DCV010505D: Output power is lower than expected

Part Number: DCV010505D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCV010505

Hi,

I made a circuit that uses DCV010505D to get isolated -/+5v output from +5V USB power. When I soldered everything and tested, I found the output was about -/+2V at no load. I don't have the 2.2uF capacitor at the current moment so I paralleled two 1uF ceramic capacitors for the input pin. I don't know if the issue is the wrong capacitor or others. I'm going to buy the 2.2uF capacitor and try it again. But I read that someone has a similar issue from this thread and I wonder whether they have resolved their issue or not. Look forward to your reply, thank in advance.

Thanks

Rui

    Hi Rui,

    Can you provide the schematic and PCB layout for review?

    Two paralleled 1uF capacitor should provide 2uF on the input. I don't think this would cause any issues. Assuming that you have the typical application schematic in Section 9.2 of the datasheet, the load regulation should look like Figure 7.

    Does this +/- 2V at no load happen on other boards or is this a one-off instance?

    Hi Rui,

    Can I get an update on this? Have you tried swapping this device out for a new one?

    Hi Jimmy,

    Thanks for your quick reply. I got the 2.2uF capacitor. I think I found the issue. In the previous test, I didn't solder the 1uF capacitor for the output pins. Now I soldered them and the output can reach +/-5.5V with some load (not sure about how large the load is). I used the UCC284DP-5 to regulate the output voltage to -5V, but I get -5.5V after the regulation. I'm still investigating whether it's the normal behavior of the chip or it's some issue with my circuit.

    Thanks

    Hi Rui,
    It sounds like you were able to resolve your issue with the DCV010505 device. The output of the isolated DC/DC power module can be as high as +/- 5.75 output voltage max at 75% load. For troubleshooting the UCC284DP-5 please create a separate thread for the LDO and an appropriate applications engineer will answer your question in a timely manner.

    Thank you ,
    Jimmy
