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

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:
| Rtrim_down | 
 |

 | 
 | ( Vo_adj | − 2.5 ) ⋅ 5110 | − 2050 | |||

output voltage change from 3.3V to the desired Vo_adj is defined as:
| Rtrim_up | 
 | 
 | 2.5 ⋅ 5110 | − 2050 | 
| 
 | 
 | Vo_adj − 3.3 | ||
| 
 | 
Ex. When 
Vo_adj=3.3V×(1+10%)=3.63V
| Rtrim_up | 
 | 
 | 2.5 ⋅ 5110 | − 2050 | 
| 
 | 
 | 3.63 − 3.3 | ||
| 
 | 
Rtrim_up = 3.666⋅ 104 ohm
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.
