Operating information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 35 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 +120°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 1V.
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 product to
be turned on/off by an external
device like a semiconductor or
mechanical switch. The RC pin has
an internal pull up resistor to + In.
The maximum required sink current is 1 mA. When the RC pin
is left open, the voltage generated on the RC pin is
3.5 – 6.0 V. The standard product is provided with “negative
logic” remote control and will be off until the RC pin is
connected to the -In. To turn on the product the voltage
between RC pin and -In should be less than 1V. To turn off the
converter the RC pin should be left open, or connected to a
voltage higher than 4 V referenced to -In. In situations where it
is desired to have the product to power up automatically
without the need for control signals or a switch, the RC pin can
be wired directly to -In.
See Design Note 021 for detailed information.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the input source and the load will
interact with the impedance of the product. It is important that
the input source has low characteristic impedance. The
products are designed for stable operation without external
capacitors connected to the input or output. The performance
in some applications can be enhanced by addition of external
capacitance as described under External Decoupling
Capacitors.
If the input voltage source contains significant inductance, the
addition of a 22 - 100 µF capacitor across the input of the
product will ensure stable operation. The capacitor is not
required when powering the product from an input source with
an inductance below 10 µH. The minimum required
capacitance value depends on the output power and the input
voltage. The higher output power the higher input capacitance
is needed. Approximately doubled capacitance value is
required for a 24 V input voltage source compared to a 48V
input voltage source.
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. 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 products 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.
