An input line fuse must always be used. This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a normal-blow, dc fuse with a maximum rating of 20 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer's data for further information. 2 Tyco Electronics Corp.

When socketing, place Kelvin connections at module terminals to avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to 75 Vdc), for the module's output to be considered meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), one of the following must be true: The input source is to be provided with reinforced insulation from any hazardous voltages, including the ac mains. One VI pin and one VO pin are to be grounded, or both the input and output pins are to be kept floating. The input pins of the module are not operator accessible. Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the whole system, as required by the safety agencies, on the combination of supply source and the subject module to verify that under a single fault, hazardous voltages do not appear at the module's output. Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the module without grounding one of the output pins. this may allow a non-SELV voltage to appear between the output pin and ground. The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 20 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.

The voltage between the remote-sense pins and the output terminals must not exceed the output voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifications table, i.e.: To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlimited duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit shifts from voltage control to current control. If the output voltage is pulled very low during a severe fault, the current-limit circuit can exhibit either foldback or tailout characteristics (output-current decrease or increase). The unit operates normally once the output current is brought back into its specified range. Remote On/Off To turn the power module on and off, the user must supply a switch to control the voltage between the on/off terminal and the VI(-) terminal (Von/off). The switch can be an open collector or equivalent (see Figure 15). A logic low is Von/off = 0 V to 1.2 V, during which the module is on. The maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking 1 mA. During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 15 V is 50 A. If not using the remote on/off feature, short the ON/OFF pin to VI(-). SENSE(+) CASE SENSE(-) ION/OFF + VON/OFF - VO (+) [VO(+) - VO(-)] - [SENSE(+) - SENSE(-)] 0.5 V The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(-) terminals must not exceed the minimum value indicated in the output overvoltage shutdown section of the Feature Specifications table. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-point adjustment (trim), see Figure 16. If not using the remote-sense feature to regulate the output at the point of load, connect SENSE(+) to VO(+) and SENSE(-) to VO(-) at the module. Although the output voltage can be increased by both the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. consult the factory if you need to increase the output voltage more than the above limitation. The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same output current would increase the power output of the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power. ON/OFF VI (+) VO (-) VI (-) SENSE(+) SENSE(-) 8-580 VI(-) Figure 15.

This is accomplished by connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and either the SENSE(+) or SENSE(-) pins. The trim resistor should be positioned close to the module. If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open. With an external resistor between the TRIM and SENSE(-) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point (VO, adj) decreases (see Figure 17).

This limit includes any increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-point adjustment (trim). See Figure 16. Although the output voltage can be increased by both the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. Consult the factory if you need to increase the output voltage more than the above limitation. The amount of power delivered by the moudle is defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same output current would increase the power output of the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power. Tyco Electronics Corp.

Circuit Configuration to Increase Output Voltage Output Overvoltage Protection The output voltage is monitored at the VO(+) and VO(-) pins of the module. If the voltage at these pins exceeds the value indicated in the Feature Specifications table, the module will shut down and latch off. Recovery from latched shutdown is accomplished by cycling the dc input power off for at least 1.0 second or toggling the primary referenced on/off signal for at least 1.0 second. 11 FW250H1 and FW300H1 Power Modules; dc-dc Converters: 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc Input, 24 Vdc Output; 250 W to 300 W Feature Descriptions (continued) SYNC OUT Pin Output Current Monitor This pin contains a clock signal referenced to the VI(-) pin. The frequency of this signal will equal either the module's internal clock frequency or the frequency established by an external clock applied to the SYNC IN pin. The CURRENT MON pin provides a dc voltage proportional to the dc output current of the module given in the Feature Specifications table. For example, on the FW250H1, the V/A ratio is set at 250 mV/A 10% @ 70 C case. At a full load current of 12.5 A, the voltage on the CURRENT MON pin is 3.13 V. The current monitor signal is referenced to the SENSE(-) pin on the secondary and is supplied from a source impedance of approximately 2 k. It is recommended that the CURRENT MON pin be left open when not in use, although no damage will result if the CURRENT MON pin is shorted to secondary ground. Directly driving the CURRENT MON pin with an external source will detrimentally affect operation of the module and should be avoided. Synchronization Any module can be synchronized to any other module or to an external clock using the SYNC IN or SYNC OUT pins. The modules are not designed to operate in a master/slave configuration; that is, if one module fails, the other modules will continue to operate. SYNC IN Pin This pin can be connected either to an external clock or directly to the SYNC OUT pin of another FW250x or FW300x module. If an external clock signal is applied to the SYNC IN pin, the signal must be a 500 kHz (50 kHz) square wave with a 4 Vp-p amplitude. Operation outside this frequency band will detrimentally affect the performance of the module and must be avoided. If the SYNC IN pin is connected to the SYNC OUT pin of another module, the connection should be as direct as possible, and the VI(-) pins of the modules must be shorted together. Unused SYNC IN pins should be tied to VI(-). If the SYNC IN pin is unused, the module will operate from its own internal clock. 12 Data Sheet September 2001 When synchronizing several modules together, the modules can be connected in a daisy-chain fashion where the SYNC OUT pin of one module is connected to the SYNC IN pin of another module. Each module in the chain will synchronize to the frequency of the first module in the chain. To avoid loading effects, ensure that the SYNC OUT pin of any one module is connected to the SYNC IN pin of only one module. Any number of modules can be synchronized in this daisy-chain fashion. Overtemperature Protection To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped with an overtemperature shutdown circuit. The shutdown circuit will not engage unless the unit is operated above the maximum case temperature. Recovery from overtemperature shutdown is accomplished by cycling the dc input power off for at least 1.0 second or toggling the primary referenced on/ off signal for at least 1.0 second. Forced Load Sharing (Parallel Operation) For either redundant operation or additional power requirements, the power modules can be configured for parallel operation with forced load sharing (see Figure 19). For a typical redundant configuration, Schottky diodes or an equivalent should be used to protect against short-circuit conditions. Because of the remote sense, the forward-voltage drops across the Schottky diodes do not affect the set point of the voltage applied to the load. For additional power requirements, where multiple units are used to develop combined power in excess of the rated maximum, the Schottky diodes are not needed. Good layout techniques should be observed for noise immunity. To implement forced load sharing, the following connections must be made: Tyco Electronics Corp. Data Sheet September 2001 FW250H1 and FW300H1 Power Modules; dc-dc Converters: 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc Input, 24 Vdc Output; 250 W to 300 W Feature Descriptions (continued) Power Good Signal Forced Load Sharing (Parallel Operation) (continued) The PWR GOOD pin provides an open-drain signal (referenced to the SENSE(-) pin) that indicates the operating state of the module. A low impedance (<100 ) between PWR GOOD and SENSE(-) indicates that the module is operating. A high impedance (>1 M) between PWR GOOD and SENSE(-) indicates that the module is off or has failed. The PWR GOOD pin can be pulled up through a resistor to an external voltage to facilitate sensing. This external voltage level must not exceed 40 V, and the current into the PWR GOOD pin during the low-impedance state should be limited to 1 mA maximum. The parallel pins of all units must be connected together. The paths of these connections should be as direct as possible. All remote-sense pins should be connected to the power bus at the same point, i.e., connect all SENSE(+) pins to the (+) side of the power bus at the same point and all SENSE(-) pins to the (-) side of the power bus at the same point. Close proximity and directness are necessary for good noise immunity. When not using the parallel feature, leave the PARALLEL pin open. Thermal Considerations Introduction PARALLEL SENSE(+) The power modules operate in a variety of thermal environments; however, sufficient cooling should be provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit. Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are thermally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduction, convection, and radiation to the surrounding environment. Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the case temperature. Peak temperature occurs at the position indicated in Figure 20.

Convection Power Derating with No Heat Sink; Airflow Along Length (Longitudinal) Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks The power modules have through-threaded, M3 x 0.5 mounting holes, which enable heat sinks or cold plates to be attached to the module. The mounting torque must not exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in.-lb.). For the screw attachment from the pin side, the recommended hole size on the customer's PWB around the mounting holes is 0.130 0.005 inches. If a larger hole is used, the mounting torque from the pin side must not exceed 0.25 N-m (2.2 in.-lbs.). Thermal derating with heat sinks is expressed by using the overall thermal resistance of the module. Total module thermal resistance (ca) is defined as the maximum case temperature rise (TC, max) divided by the module power dissipation (PD): (TC - TA) C, max ca = T -------------------- = -----------------------PD Figure 21. Convection Power Derating with No Heat Sink; Airflow Along Width (Transverse) Tyco Electronics Corp. 30 8-1314 Derating curves for forced-air cooling without a heat sink are shown in Figures 21 and 22. These curves can be used to determine the appropriate airflow for a given set of operating conditions. For example, if the unit with airflow along its length dissipates 20 W of heat, the correct airflow in a 40 C environment is 1.0 m/s (200 ft./min.). 60 20 LOCAL AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, TA (C) Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks 70 10 PD The location to measure case temperature (TC) is shown in Figure 20. Case-to-ambient thermal resistance vs. airflow for various heat sink configurations is shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24.

FW300H1 Power Dissipation vs. Output Current These measured resistances are from heat transfer from the sides and bottom of the module as well as the top side with the attached heat sink; therefore, the case-to-ambient thermal resistances shown are generally lower than the resistance of the heat sink by itself. The module used to collect the data in Figures 23 and 24 had a thermal-conductive dry pad between the case and the heat sink to minimize contact resistance. 15 Tyco Electronics Corp.

Assume the FW250H1 module is operating at nominal line and an output current of 10 A, maximum ambient air temperature of 40 C, and the heat sink is 1/2 inch. Solution Given: VI = 55 V IO = 10 A TA = 40 C TC = 85 C Heat sink = 1/2 inch. Determine PD by using Figure 25: PD = 28 W Then solve the following equation: (TC - TA ) ca = ----------------------PD 85 - 40 ) ca = (----------------------28 ca = 1.61 C/W Use Figures 23 and 24 to determine air velocity for the 1/2 inch heat sink. The minimum airflow necessary for the FW250H1 module depends on heat sink fin orientation and is shown below: 1.25 m/s (250 ft./min.) (oriented along width) 1.5 m/s (300 ft./min.) (oriented along length) Figure 27. Resistance from Case-to-Sink and Sinkto-Ambient For a managed interface using thermal grease or foils, a value of cs = 0.1 C/W to 0.3 C/W is typical. The solution for heat sink resistance is: TC - TA) sa = (------------------------ - cs PD This equation assumes that all dissipated power must be shed by the heat sink. Depending on the userdefined application environment, a more accurate model, including heat transfer from the sides and bottom of the module, can be used. This equation provides a conservative estimate for such instances. EMC Considerations For assistance with designing for EMC compliance, please refer to the FLTR100V10 data sheet (FDS01-043EPS) Layout Considerations Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power module mounting inserts. For additional layout guidelines, refer to the FLTR100V10 data sheet (FDS01-043EPS) Custom Heat Sinks A more detailed model can be used to determine the required thermal resistance of a heat sink to provide necessary cooling. The total module resistance can be separated into a resistance from case-to-sink (cs) and sink-to-ambient (sa) as shown in Figure 27.
