Operating information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 36 to 75Vdc meets the requirements
{of the European Telecom Standard ETS 300 132-2 for
normal input voltage range in —48 and —60 Vdc systems, -40.5
to -57.0 V and —50.0 to -72 V respectively.
At input voltages exceeding 75 V, the power loss will be
higher than at normal input voltage and Tref must be limited to
absolute max +90°C. The absolute maximum continuous
input voltage is 80 Vdc.
Turn-off Input Voltage
The DC/DC converters monitor the input voltage and will turn
on and turn off at predetermined levels.
The minimum hysteresis between turn on and turn off input
voltage is 2V.
Remote Control (RC)
The products are fitted with a
remote control function referenced
to the primary negative input
connection (- In), with negative and
positive logic options available.
The RC function allows the
converter to be turned on/off by an
external device like a
semiconductor or mechanical
switch. When the RC pin is left
open, the voltage generated on the
RC pin is 7-8 V.
The standard converter is provided with “negative logic”
remote control and will be off until the RC pin is connected to
the minus input. To turn on the converter the voltage between
RC pin and minus input should be less than 1V. To turn off
the converter the RC pin should be left open, or connected to
a voltage higher than 4V referenced to minus input. In
situations where it is desired to have the converter power up
automatically without the need for control signals or a switch,
the RC pin can be wired directly to the —Input circuit on the
application board.
The second option is “positive logic” remote control, which
can be ordered by adding the suffix “P” to the end of the part
number. The converter will turn on when the input voltage is
applied with the RC pin open. Turn off is achieved by
connecting the RC pin to the - In. To ensure safe turn off the
voltage difference between RC pin and the - In pin shall be
less than 1V. The converter will restart automatically when
this connection is opened.
External Decoupling Capacitors
When powering loads with significant dynamic current
requirements, the voltage regulation at the point of load can
be improved by addition of decoupling capacitors at the load.
The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic
and electrolytic capacitors as close to the load as possible,
using several parallel capacitors to lower the effective ESR.
The ceramic capacitors will handle high-frequency dynamic
load changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used to
handle low frequency dynamic load changes. Ceramic
capacitors will also reduce any high frequency noise at the
load.
It is equally important to use low resistance and low
inductance PCB layouts and cabling.
External decoupling capacitors will become part of the
control loop of the DC/DC converter and may affect the
stability margins. As a “rule of thumb”, 100 µF/A of output
current can be added without any additional analysis. The
ESR of the capacitors is a very important parameter. Power
Modules guarantee stable operation with a verified ESR value
of >10 mΩ across the output connections.

Power Modules representative.
Output Voltage Adjust (Vadj)
The DC/DC converters have an Output Voltage Adjust pin
(Vadj). This pin can be used to adjust the output voltage above
or below Output voltage initial setting.
When increasing the output voltage, the voltage at the output
pins (including any remote sense compensation ) must be
kept below the threshold of the over voltage protection, (OVP)
to prevent the converter from shutting down. At increased
output voltages the maximum power rating of the converter
remains the same, and the max output current must be
decreased correspondingly.
To increase the voltage the resistor should be connected
between the Vadj pin and +Sense pin. The resistor value of the
Output voltage adjust function is according to information
given under the Output section for the respective product.
To decrease the output voltage, the resistor should be
connected between the Vadj pin and —Sense pin.
