Page 7 GE Data Sheet EQW006 Series, Eight Brick Power Modules: DC-DC Converter 36 - 75Vdc Input; 12Vdc Output; 6A Output Current Safety Considerations For safety-agency approval of the system in which the power module is used, the power module must be installed in compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of the end-use safety agency standard, i.e., UL60950, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00 and VDE 0805:200112 (IEC60950, 3rd Ed). These converters have been evaluated to the spacing requirements for Basic Insulation, per the above safety standards; and 1500 Vdc is applied from Vi to Vo to 100% of outgoing production. For all input voltages, other than DC MAINS, where the input voltage is less than 60V dc, if the input meets all of the requirements for SELV, then: The output may be considered SELV. Output voltages will remain within SELV limits even with internally-generated non-SELV voltages. Single component failure and fault tests were performed in the power converters. One pole of the input and one pole of the output are to be grounded, or both circuits are to be kept floating, to maintain the output voltage to ground voltage within ELV or SELV limits. For all input sources, other than DC MAINS, where the input voltage is between 60 and 75V dc (Classified as TNV-2 in Europe), the following must be adhered to, if the converter's output is to be evaluated for SELV: The input source is to be provided with reinforced insulation from any hazardous voltage, including the AC mains. One Vi pin and one Vo pin are to be reliably earthed, or both the input and output pins are to be kept floating. 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. The power module has ELV (extra-low voltage) outputs when all inputs are ELV. All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of these modules are rated 94V-0, and UL60950 A.2 for reduced thickness. The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 6A time- delay in the unearthed lead. October 1, 2015 (c)2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 8 GE Data Sheet EQW006 Series, Eight Brick Power Modules: DC-DC Converter 36 - 75Vdc Input; 12Vdc Output; 6A Output Current Feature Description Remote On/Off Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic turns the module on during a logic high voltage on the ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low. Negative logic remote On/Off, device code suffix "1", turns the module off during a logic high and on during a logic low. Vin+ 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 (Maximum rated power = Vo,set x Io,max).

Circuit Configuration for remote sense . Input Undervoltage Lockout Figure 10. Remote On/Off Implementation. To turn the power module on and off, the user must supply a switch (open collector or equivalent) to control the voltage (Von/off) between the ON/OFF terminal and the VIN(-) terminal (see Figure 10). Logic low is 0V Von/off 1.2V. The maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1mA, the switch should be maintain a logic low level whilst sinking this current. During a logic high, the typical maximum Von/off generated by the module is 15V, and the maximum allowable leakage current at Von/off = 5V is 1A. If not using the remote on/off feature: For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open. For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VIN(-). Remote Sense Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense connections (See Figure 11). 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: At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will only begin to operate once the input voltage is raised above the undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold, VUV/ON. Once operating, the module will continue to operate until the input voltage is taken below the undervoltage turnoff threshold, VUV/OFF. Overtemperature Protection To provide protection under certain fault conditions, the unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref (Figure 14), exceeds 110oC (typical), but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating. The module will automatically restarts after it cools down. Output Overvoltage Protection The output overvoltage protection consists of circuitry that internally clamps the output voltage. If a more accurate output overvoltage protection scheme is required then this should be implemented externally via use of the remote on/off pin. [VO(+) - VO(-)] - [SENSE(+) - SENSE(-)] 0.5 V 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. October 1, 2015 (c)2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

Circuit Configuration to Trim Output Voltage. Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between the TRIM pin and the Vo(-) (or Sense(-)) pin decreases the output voltage set point. To maintain set point accuracy, the trim resistor tolerance should be 0.1%. The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage change of % For output voltage: 12Vdc 510 Rtrim down 10.2 % Where Vo, set Vdesired % 100 Vo, set For example, to trim-down the output voltage of 12V module (EQW006A0B1) by 8% to 11.04V, Rtrim-down is calculated as follows: % 8 510 Rtrim down 10.2 8 Rtrim down 53.55 October 1, 2015 Rtrim up 787 The voltage between the Vo(+) and Vo(-) terminals must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage protection value shown in the Feature Specifications table. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-point adjustment trim. 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. 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 (Maximum rated power = Vo,set x Io,max). Overcurrent Protection To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting continuously. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. The unit operates normally once the output current is brought back into its specified range. The average output current during hiccup is 10% IO, max. (c)2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

Tref Temperature Measurement Locations. The power modules operate in a variety of thermal environments; however, sufficient cooling should be provided to help ensure reliable operation. Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow, module power dissipation, and the need for increased reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of the module will result in an increase in reliability. The thermal data presented here is based on physical measurements taken in a wind tunnel as shown in the Figure 13. 25.4_ (1.0) Wind Tunnel PWBs Please refer to the Application Note "Thermal Characterization Process For Open-Frame BoardMounted Power Modules" for a detailed discussion of thermal aspects including maximum device temperatures. Heat Transfer via Convection Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat transfer via convection. Derating figures showing the maximum output current that can be delivered by each module versus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection and up to 2m/s (400 ft./min) are shown in the respective Characteristics Curves section. Layout Considerations Power Module 76.2_ (3.0) Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power module mounting inserts.

Pick and Place The SMT versions of the EQW series of DC-to-DC power converters use an open-frame construction and are designed for surface mount assembly within a fully automated manufacturing process. The surface mountable modules in the EQW family use our newest SMT technology called "Column Pin" (CP) connectors. Figure 17 shows the new CP connector before and after reflow soldering onto the end-board assembly. The EQW-S series modules are fitted with a label designed to provide a large flat surface for pick and placing. The label is located covering the center of gravity of the power module. The label meets all the requirements for surface-mount processing, as well as meeting UL safety agency standards. The label will withstand reflow temperatures up to 300C. The label also carries product information such as product code, date and location of manufacture. EQW Board Insulator Solder Ball End assembly PCB Figure 17. Column Pin Connector Before and After Reflow Soldering. The CP is constructed from a solid copper pin with an integral solder ball attached, which is composed of tin/lead (Sn/Pb-63/37) solder. The CP connector design is able to compensate for large amounts of co-planarity and still ensure a reliable SMT solder joint. Z Plane Height The `Z' plane height of the pick and place label is 9.15 mm (0.360 in) nominal with an RSS tolerance of +/-0.25 mm. Nozzle Recommendations The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open frame construction. Even so, they have a relatively large mass when compared with conventional smt components. Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 6mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 9 mm. Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 9 mm may also be used within the space available.

Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow technologies currently used in the industry. These surface mount power modules can be reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be established by accurately measuring the modules CP connector temperatures. REFLOW TEMP (C) Figure 16. Pick and Place Location. Figure 18.

The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will be a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when stored at the following conditions: < 40 C, < 90% relative humidity. 240 MAX TEMP SOLDER (C) 235 Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations 230 225 220 215 210 205 200 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The result of inadequate cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability of a power module and the testability of the finished circuit-board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures, refer to GE Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note (AN04-001). Figure 19. Time Limit Curve Above 205oC for Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. 300 Per J-STD-020 Rev. C Peak Temp 260C Lead Free Soldering The -Z version of the EQW006 modules are lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are both forward and backward compatible in a Pb-free and a SnPb soldering process. Failure to observe the instructions below may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules and can adversely affect long-term reliability. 200 * Min. Time Above 235C 15 Seconds 150 Heating Zone 1C/Second Cooling Zone *Time Above 217C 60 Seconds 100 50 0 Pb-free Reflow Profile Reflow Time (Seconds) Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C (Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for both Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification procedures. This standard provides a recommended forced-airconvection reflow profile based on the volume and thickness of the package (table 4-2). The suggested Pbfree solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Fig. 20. MSL Rating The EQW006 modules have a MSL rating of 2. Storage and Handling The recommended storage environment and handling procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount packages is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should not be broken until time of use. Once the original package is broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of 30C and 60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating October 1, 2015 Reflow Temp (C) 250 Figure 20. Recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder. Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering Information The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant components. They are designed to be processed through single or dual wave soldering machines. The pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. A maximum preheat rate of 3C/s is suggested. The wave preheat process should be such that the temperature of the power module board is kept below 210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is 270C max. Not all RoHScompliant through-hole products can be processed with paste-through-hole Pb or Pb-free reflow process.
