DESIGN GUIDE

Output Connections and Considerations

The permissible load current must never be exceeded during

normal, abnormal or test conditions. Converters subject to

dynamic loading exceeding 25% of rated current must be

reviewed by Vicor Applications Engineering to ensure that the

converter will operate properly.

Under dynamic-load, light-load or no-load conditions, the

converter may emit audible noise. Converters that utilize remote

sense may require compensation circuitry to offset the phase

lag caused by the external output leads and load impedance.

Remote Sense leads must be protected for conditions such as

lead reversal, noise pickup, open circuit or excessive output lead

resistance between the sense point and the converters output

terminals. For applications that may draw more than the rated

current, a fast-acting electronic circuit breaker must be utilized

to protect the converter. Under no circumstance should the

rated current be exceeded. Utilizing or testing of current limit or

short-circuit current will damage the converter. Ensure that the

total output capacitance connected to the converter does not

exceed the limits on Page 16, “Maximum Output Capacitance,”

of the design guide.

Module Enable/Disable

The module may be disabled by pulling PC to 0V (2.3V max)

with respect to the –Input. This may be done with an open

collector transistor, relay or optocoupler. Converters may be

disabled with a single transistor or relay either directly or via

“OR’ing” diodes for 2 or more converters. See Figure 2.

Primary Auxiliary Supply

During normal operation only, the PC Pin can source 5.7V

@ 1.5mA. In the example shown in Figure 4, PC powers a

module enabled LED.

Module Alarm

The module contains “watchdog” circuitry which monitors

input voltage, operating temperature and internal operating

parameters. In the event that any of these parameters are

outside of their allowable operating range, the module will shut

down and PC will go low. PC will periodically go high and the

module will check to see if the fault (as an example,

Input Undervoltage) has cleared. If the fault has not been

cleared, PC will go low again and the cycle will restart. The SC

pin will go low in the event of a fault and return to its normal

state after the fault has been cleared. See Figures 3 and 5.

Output Voltage Programming

The output voltage of the converter can be adjusted or

programmed via ﬁxed resistors, potentiometers or voltage

DACs. See Figure 8.

Trim Down

1. This converter is not a constant power device – it has a

constant current limit. Hence, available output power is

reduced by the same percentage that output voltage is

trimmed down. Do not exceed maximum rated output current.

2. The trim-down resistor must be connected between the SC

and –S pins. Do not bypass the SC pin directly with a capacitor.

Trim Up

1. The converter is rated for a maximum delivered power. To

ensure that maximum rated power is not exceeded, reduce

maximum output current by the same percentage increase in

output voltage.

2. The trim-up resistor must be connected between the SC and

+S pins. Do not bypass the SC pin directly with a capacitor.

3. Do not trim the converter above maximum trim range (typically

+10%) or the output overvoltage protection circuitry may

be activated.

Parallel Bus – PR Pin

Parallel Operation

The PR pin supports paralleling for increased power with N+1

(N+M) redundancy. Modules of the same input voltage, output

voltage and power level will current share if all PR pins are

suitably interfaced.

Compatible interface architectures include the following:

AC-coupled single-wire interface. All PR pins are connected to a

single communication bus through 0.001µF (500V) capacitors. This

interface supports current sharing and is fault tolerant except for

the communication bus. Up to three converters may be paralleled

by this method. See Figure 9.

Transformer-coupled interface. For paralleling four or more

converters a transformer-coupled interface is required, and under

certain conditions a PR buffer circuit.

For details on parallel operation please refer to the

Design Guide & Applications Manual for Maxi, Mini, Micro Family.

Figure 11 — N+1 module array output connections

• The +OUT and –OUT power buses should be designed to

minimize and balance parasitic impedance from each

module output to the load.

• The +Sense pins must be tied together to form a

+Sense bus. This must be Kelvin connected to +OUT at a

single point. The –Sense pins should be tied together to

form a –Sense bus. This must be Kelvin connected to –OUT

at a single point.

• At the discretion of the power system designer, a subset

of all modules within an array may be conﬁgured as slaves

by connecting SC to –S.

• OR’ing diodes may be inserted in series with the +OUT pins

of each module to provide module output fault tolerance.

• The +Sense and -Sense leads should be routed in close

proximity to each other on the printed circuit board. If wires

are used to connect the converters on a PCB to an external

load, the Sense leads should be twisted together to reduce

noise pickup.

Storage

Vicor products, when not installed in customer units, should be stored in ESD safe packaging in accordance with ANSI/ESD S20.20,

“Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment” and should be maintained in a temperature controlled factory/

warehouse environment not exposed to outside elements controlled between the temperature ranges of 15°C and 38°C. Humidity shall not

be condensing, no minimum humidity when stored in an ESD compliant package.
