BCD.00247_AB1
RoHS compliant for all six substances
High density front-ends 15.2 to 18.3 W/in3
Wide input voltage range 85 to 264 VAC
12 V standby voltage, 1A per front-end
Highly efficient topology reduces operating costs
I2C interface status and control
I2C voltage and current limit setting
Analog output voltage setting
Overtemperature, output overvoltage, and output
overcurrent protection
ORing circuits for true redundant operation:
Vo1: ORing FETs; Vo2: ORing Diodes
Status LEDs: AC OK, DC OK, and
Fan Fail/Overtemperature Fail
The FNP1500/1800 front-ends are power-factor-
corrected (PFC) which (depending on model type)
provide a 12 VDC or 48 VDC (1500 or 1800 watt)
output, and can be used in hot-swap redundant
systems. Their very small dimensions allow
configuration of up to three units in a 1U rack. The
FNP front-ends have a front-mounted AC
receptacle. The highly efficient thermal design with
internal-fan cooling permits their use over wide
temperature ranges and provides very high
reliability.
Status information is provided with front panel
LEDs, logic signals, and via an I2C management
interface. In addition, the I2C bus can enable the
power supply, set high fan speed, adjust the output
voltage, and set the output current limit. The
FNP1500/1800's meet international safety
standards and display the CE-Mark for the
European Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
FNR-3-12G and FNR-3-48G power-shelf solutions
provide rectification, system management, and
power distribution, while maintaining high reliability
and offering flexibility for future expansion. The
power shelves can be configured with up to three
hot-swappable 1500 or 1800-watt AC-DC front-
ends.

AC Fail / Power Down Warning
(I2C & OC)2
Provides a warning that the input power has failed at least 5 ms before the output falls
out of regulation (<90% Vo1 set).
Open collector signal with 20 mA pull-down capability, referenced to logic return (LRTN).
AC fail will go high or open during power fail condition and will go low when input is within the operating
range.
A Power Fail warning will turn off the green AC OK LED.
DC fail / Output Voltage Fault
(I2C & OC)2
Internal undervoltage and overvoltage supervision of
V

Open collector signal with 20 mA pull-down capability, referenced to logic return (LRTN).
DC fail will go high or open if
V
o1 is < 90% or > 110% of
V
o1 set, measured in front of the ORing FETs.
A green LED on the front panel indicates normal operation.
The LED will flash if in parallel operation
V

Temperature Warning (I2C & OC)2
I2C critical temperature warning: Indicates that the operating temperature has reached [Tshut-down 10K]
I2C & OC overtemperature warning: Indicates if the unit is in overtemperature shutdown.
Open collector signal with 20 mA pull-down capability, referenced to logic return (LRTN).
The OC-output will go low 100 ms before an overtemperature condition shuts down the unit.
An amber LED on the front panel indicates overtemperature or fan fail.
DC Voltage Monitoring (I2C)1
Monitors the voltage

The fan speed can be set to full speed or automatic control.
Fan OK (I2C & OC)2
Indicates if the fans are operating or have failed.
Synch. Startup Pin
Overcurrent signal which can be used for synchronous startup of units in parallel or to recover from an
overload condition. (See application note).

For parallel use in minimal configuration systems, only the inhibit pins must be shorted to logic GND. All other pins can be
left open. The power supplies will share the output current automatically (droop current share).
For parallel applications without I2C bus, but the use of all other features, it is recommended to connect all logic GND’s on a
backplane together, to connect all Vo2 -, all V o2 + and to leave the internal GND’s open.
The sense wires can be left open or connected to a common load point, the synch-start pin can be left open or connected to
a synch-start circuit, the inhibit pins can be connected together or used individually. All I2C signals (T1-T5, S1, and S2) can
be left open.
Use of a small foil capacitor > 3µF directly at the power outputs of each unit is recommended in order to prevent voltage
drops at the hot plug. For additional information on paralleling see the following Rack (Power Shelf) section.
To achieve best cooling results sufficient airflow through the unit must be ensured. Do not block or obstruct the airflow at
the rear of the unit by placing large components directly at the output connector.

Because of hiccup overcurrent protection, when a supply reaches an overcurrent limit, the output voltage will immediately
turn OFF and after a delay turn ON again. In parallel use, all power supplies have to start synchronized because of the
internal hiccup behavior. Otherwise, the supply which has reached overcurrent first will go to hiccup; this will overload the
other supplies, which then will also go to hiccup. When the first supply has recovered from hiccup (hiccup dead time), the
others remain in hiccup. This will immediately drive the first one into hiccup once again. This means that without a start-up
circuit, a system with several power supplies can never recover from an overload condition or start-up into full load.
The following additional circuit, required to reach synchronized startup, is already implemented inside the
FNR-3-12G and FNR-3-48G shelves.

The following connection between the shelves is required to achieve a parallel operation. The synch-start circuits inside the
shelves inhibit all power supplies until the last one has recovered from its overcurrent condition and then synchronize the
restart of the outputs.

NOTE: The Sync-Start pins can be wired together only if the power supplies are connected with a minimal voltage drop on power ground
as achieved on a backplane with massive copper bus bars. If there is a less ideal connection, it is recommended to use an opto-coupler for
each unit (IC1, D3, D2).
