6.6–10 W DC/DC Power Modules
48 V Input Series
The MacroDens™ 10W PKF 4000A I series true
component level on-board DC/DC power modules are
intended as distributed power sources in decentralized
48 and –60VDC power systems. Utilization of
thick film technology and a high degree of silicon
integra-tion has made it possible to achieve a MTBF
of more than 4.9 million hours.
The high reliability and the very low height of these
DC/DC power modules makes them particularly
suited for Information Technology and Telecom
(IT&T) applications, with board spacing down to
15 mm or 0.6 in.
The over-moulded rugged design also makes them
suitable for other demanding industrial applications.
They are optimized for free convection cooling and
have an operational ambient temperature range in
compliance with present and future application needs,
including non temperature controlled environments.
The mechanical design offers the choice of surface
mount or through-hole versions, delivered in ready-
to-use tubes, trays or tape & reel package, and
compati-bility with semi and fully aqueous cleaning
processes.
The PKF series is manufactured using highly
automated manufacturing lines with a world-class
quality commitment and a five-year warranty.
Ericsson Microelectronics AB has been an ISO 9001
certified supplier since 1991. For a complete product

NOTES:
1) The input voltage range 38…72 Vdc meets
the European Telecom Standard prETS
300 132-2 Nominal input voltage range in
48 V and 60 Vdc power systems,
40.5–57.0 V and –50.0…72.0 V
respectively. At input voltages exceeding 72 V
(abnormal voltage) the power loss will be
higher than at normal input voltage and TC
must be limited to max +95°C. Absolute max
continuous input voltage is 75 Vdc. Output
characteristics will be marginally affected at
input voltages exceeding 72 V.
2) The power modules will operate down to
£36 V, when VI decreases, but will turn on at
VI £38 V, when VI increases (see also Operating
information).
3) The test is applicable for through-hole versions.
Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage.
Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes
referred to as no destruction limits, are
normally tested with one parameter at a
time exceeding the limits of Output data
or Electrical Characteristics. If exposed to
stress above these limits, function and per-
formance may degrade in an unspecified
manner.

Thermal Data
Two-parameter model
This model provides a more precise description of the thermal charac-
teristics to be used for thermal calculations.
Thermally the power module can be considered as a component and
the case temperature can be used to characterize the properties. The
thermal data for a power module with the substrate in contact with
the case can be described with two thermal resistances. One from case
to ambient air and one from case to PB (Printed circuit Board).
The thermal characteristics temperature can be calculated from the
following formula:
TPB = (TC–TA)×(Rth C–PB+Rth C–A)/Rth C–A–Pd×Rth C–PB+TA
Where:
Pd: dissipated power, calculated as PO ×(l/h–1)
TC: max average case temperature
T
A: ambient air temperature at the lower side of the power
module
TPB: temperature in the PB between the PKF connection pins
Rth C-PB: thermal resistance from case to PB under the power
module
Rth C-A: thermal resistance from case to ambient air
v: velocity of ambient air
Rth C-PB is constant and Rth C-A is dependent on the air velocity.
Free convection is equal to an air velocity of approx. 0.2 – 0.3 m/s.
See figure below.
Palladium plating is used on the terminal pins. A pin temperature (Tp)
in excess of the solder fusing temperature (+183°C for Sn/Pb 63/37)
for more than 25 seconds and a peak temperature above 195°C, is
required to guarantee a reliable solder joint.
Both pin 1 and pin 9 must be monitored.
No responsibility is assumed if these recommendations are not
strictly followed.
Reflow Soldering Information
The PKF series of DC/DC power modules are manufactured in surface
mount technology. Extra precautions must therefore be taken when
reflow soldering the surface mount version. Neglecting the soldering
information given below may result in permanent damage or signifi-
cant degradation of power module performance.
The PKF series can be reflow soldered using IR, Natural Convection,
Forced Convection or Combined IR/Convection Technologies. The high
thermal mass of the component and its effect on DT (°C) requires that
particular attention be paid to other temperature sensitive components.
IR Reflow technology may require the overall profile time to be ex-
tended to approximately 8–10 minutes to ensure an acceptable DT.
Higher activity flux may be more suitable to overcome the increase in
oxidation and to avoid flux burn-up.
The general profile parameters detailed in the diagram, with this ex-
tended time to reach peak temperatures, would then be suitable.
Note! These are maximum parameters. Depending on process varia-
tions, an appropriate margin must be added.

Safety
The PKF 4000A I series DC/DC power modules are designed in
accordance with EN 60 950, Safety of information technology equipment
including electrical business equipment. SEMKO certificate no. 9814213.
The PKF power modules are recognized by UL and meet the applica-
ble requirements in UL 1950 Safety of information technology equipment,
the applicable Canadian safety requirements and UL 1012 Standard
for power supplies.
The DC/DC power module shall be installed in an end-use equip-
ment and considerations should be given to measuring the case tem-
perature to comply with TCmax when in operation. Abnormal compo-
nent tests are conducted with the input protected by an external
15 A fuse. The need for repeating these tests in the end-use
appliance shall be considered if installed in a circuit having higher
rated devices.
When the supply to the DC/DC power module meets all the require-
ments for SELV (<60 Vdc), the output is considered to remain within
SELV limits (level 3). The isolation is an operational insulation in
accordance with EN 60 950.
The DC/DC power module is intended to be supplied by isolated
secondary circuitry and shall be installed in compliance with the
requirements of the ultimate application. If they are connected to a
60 V DC system reinforced insulation must be provided in the power
supply that isolates the input from the mains. Single fault testing in
the power supply must be performed in combination with the
DC/DC power module to demonstrate that the output meets the
requirement for SELV. One pole of the input and one pole of the
output is to be grounded or both are to be kept floating.
The terminal pins are only intended for connection to mating con-
nectors of internal wiring inside the end-use equipment.
These DC/DC power modules may be used in telephone equipment
in accordance with paragraph 34 A.1 of UL 1459 (Standard for Tele-
phone Equipment, second edition).
The galvanic isolation is verified in an electric strength test. Test
voltage (VISO) between input and output is 1,500 Vdc for 60 s. In
production the test duration may be decreased to 1 s.
The capacitor between input and output has a value of 1 nF and the
leakage current is less than 1µA @ 53 Vdc.
The case is designed in non-conductive epoxy. Its flammability
rating meets UL 94V-0. The oxygen index is 34%.

EMC Specifications
The PKF power module is mounted on a double sided Printed circuit
Board (PB) with ground plane during EMC measurements.
The fundamental switching frequency is 510 kHz ±5% @
IO = (0.1…1.0) × IOmax.
EFT
Electrical Fast Transients on the input terminals could affect the
output voltage regulation causing functional errors on the Printed
Board Assembly (PBA). The PKF power modules withstand EFT
levels of 0.5 kV keeping VO within the tolerance band and
2.0 kV without destruction. Tested according to IEC publ. 801-4.
Operating Information
Remote Control (RC)
Turn-on or turn-off can be realized by using the RC-pin. If pin 11 is
connected to pin 17 the power modules turns off. Normal operation
is achieved if pin 11 is open (NC). To ensure safe turn-off the voltage
difference between pin 11 and 17 shall be less than 1.0V. RC is an
TTL open collector compatible output with a sink capacity >300 mA
(see fig. 1).

Electro Magnetic Susceptibility is measured by injection of elec-
trical disturbances on the input terminals. No deviation outside
the VO tolerance band will occur under the following conditions:
External Filter (class B)
Required external input filter in order to meet class B in EN 55022,
CISPR 22 and FCC part 15J.
The low ESR is critical for the result.

200...1,000 MHz 3 Vrms/m
1...12 GHz 10 Vrms/m
Fuse Considerations
To prevent excessive current from flowing through the input supply
line, in the case of a short-circuit across the converter input, an exter-
nal fuse should be installed in the non-earthed input supply line. We
recommend using a fuse rated at approximately 2 to 4 times the value
calculated in the formula below:
Refer to the fuse manufacturer for further information.

Output ripple is measured as the peak to peak voltage of the funda-
mental switching frequency.

Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The remote control can also be utilized for OVP by using the exter-
nal circuitry in figure 2. Resistor values are for 5V output applica-
tions, but can easily be adjusted for other output voltages and the
desired OVP level.
Output Voltage Adjust (Vadj)
Output voltage, VO, can be adjusted by using an external resistor or
other external circuitry. If other circuitry is used, the slew rate has to
be limited to maximum 5 V/ms. If pins 8 and 9 are not connected
together the output will decrease to a low value. To increase VO a
resistor should be connected between pin 8/9 and 17, and to decrease
VO a resistor should be connected between pin 8 and 9 (see fig. 4).

Turn-on/off Input Voltage
The power module monitors the input voltage and will turn on and
turn off at predetermined levels set by means of external resistors.
To increase V
Ion a resistor should be connected between pin 11 and
17 (see fig. 3).
The resistance is given by the following equation
(For VIon>37 V):
RIon = (k1 – VIon)/(VIon – k2) kW
where k2 is the typical unadjusted turn-on input voltage (V).
VIoff is the adjusted turn-off input voltage and is determined by
VIon –VIoff = 2 V (typical value).
To decrease V
Ion a resistor should be connected between pin 10 and
11 (see fig. 3). The resistance is given by the following equation (for
34.5 V < VIon > 36 V:
RIon = k3 × (VIon – k4)/(k2VIon) kW

Voltage Margining
For voltage controlled margining e.g. at final test, the following
setup can be used. By increasing the control voltage V1 to +10 V the
output voltage decreases 5% of VOi, and by decreasing V1 to –10 V
the output voltage increases 5%.
Capacitive Load
The PKF series has no maximum limit for capacitive load on the out-
put. The power module may operate in current limiting mode during
start-up, affecting the ramp-up and the start-up time. For optimum
start performance we recommend maximum 100 mF/A of IO. Connect
capacitors at the point of load for best performance.
Input and Output Impedance
Both the source impedance of the power feeding and the load imped-
ance will interact with the impedance of the DC/DC power module.
It is most important to have the ratio between L and C as low as
possible, i.e. a low characteristic impedance, both at the input and
output, as the power modules have a low energy storage capability.
Use an electrolytic capacitor across the input if the source inductance
is higher than 10 mH. Their equivalent series resistance together
with the capacitance acts as a lossless damping filter. Suitable capaci-
tor values are in the range 10–100 mF.
Parallel Operation
Paralleling of several converters is easily accomplished by direct
connection of the output voltage terminal pins. The load regulation
characteristic is specifically designed for optimum paralleling per-
formance. Load sharing between converters will be within ±10%. It
is recommended not to exceed PO = n × 0.9 × POmax, where POmax is
the maximum converter output power and n the number of paralleled
converters, to prevent overloading any of the converters and thereby
decreasing the reliability performance.
Precision load regulation for the PKF 4000A series
PKF 4000A I has a load regulation which allows paralleling of the
power modules without external control. If there is a need for tighter
voltage regulation, the figure below (fig. 7) shows how to obtain a
very exact voltage.
The output voltage is divided by two resistors and compared with a
reference voltage. Out 1 integrates the voltage difference and the
signal is fed back to output adjust by an opto coupler. Please note:
The operational amplifier must be a single supply in order to operate
at the actual output voltage if there are no other voltages available.
The opto coupler should have a current gain of 25–200%.
The output voltage is: Uout = Uref × (R2 + R1)/R2
Other output voltages and reference voltages may be used. R1 and
R2 is calculated from formula above. Please keep the values in the
same range as in table below.

voltage.

Synchronization (Sync)
It is possible to synchronize the switching frequency to an external
symmetrical clock signal. The input can be driven by an TTL-com-
patible output and referenced to the input pin 17.

Quality
Reliability
Meantime between failure (MTBF) is calculated to >4.9 million
hours at full output power and a case temperature of +55°C
(TA = +40°C), using the Ericsson failure rate data system.
The Ericsson failure rate data system is based on field failure
rates and is continuously updated. The data corresponds to actual
failure rates of components used in Information Technology and
Telecom equipment in temperature controlled environments
(TA = –5… +65°C). The data is considered to have a confidence
level of 90%. For more information see Design Note 002.
