QPI-8 QUIETPOWER AdvancedTCA™ Hot-Swap with Active EMI Filter Description: Features: The QPI-8 incorporates a total hot swap function with an EMI filter for DC/DC converter applications. The product aligns with the AdvancedTCA™ PICMG3.0 requirements for hot insertion and board level conducted noise limitations. The EMI filter provides active conducted common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) noise attenuation from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. The QPI-8 is designed for use on a 48 or 60 volt DC bus (36-76VDC). The in-rush current limit (12A) and circuit breaker (6A) are designed to satisfy the 200W per board PICMG3.0 limit up to 70C (TA) before de-rating. The under and over voltage thresholds can be trimmed separately via the UVEN and OV inputs using external series resistors. The Power Good active low output can be used to disable a converter until its input bulk capacitors are fully charged to the bus voltage. The QPI-8’s active filter greatly reduces the amount of board space typically required for EMI filtering. The QPI-8 is available as a lidded or an open-frame SiP (System-inPackage) with LGA mounting. Evaluation boards are available to allow for quick in-circuit testing of the QPI-8LZ within an existing system design.

Picor Corporation · picorpower.com QPI-8 Rev 1.5, Page 2 of 17 QPI-8 QUIETPOWER Applications Information EMI Sources pass the EN55022 class B limits. Many of the components in today’s power conversion modules are sources of high-frequency EMI noise generation. Diodes, high-frequency switching devices, transformers and inductors, and circuit layouts passing high dv/dt or di/dt signals are all potential sources of EMI. EMI is propagated either by radiated or conductive means. Radiated EMI can be sourced from these components as well as by circuit loops that act like antennas and broadcast the noise signals to neighboring circuit paths. This also means that these loops can act as receivers of a broadcasted signal. This radiated EMI noise can be reduced by proper circuit layout and by shielding potential sources of EMI transmission. There are two basic forms of conducted EMI that typically need to be filtered; namely common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) EMI. Differential-mode resides in the normal power loop of a power source and its load; where the signal travels from the source to the load and then returns to the source. Common-mode is a signal that travels through both leads of the source and is returned to earth via parasitic pathways, either capacitively or inductively coupled. The other component of the passive filter is the differential LC network. Again, the inductor is chosen such that it will present a high-impedance in the differential EMI loop at the EMI’s base frequency. The differential capacitor will then shunt the EMI back to its source. The QPI-8 was specifically designed to work with conventional switching frequency converters like Vicor’s Brick products; Micro, Mini and Maxi modules; as well as converters from various vendors. Active EMI Filtering PICOR’s QPI-8 active EMI filter uses the same basic principles for filtering as the passive approach, but its active commonmode filter can perform as well as a passive filter, when filtering lower frequencies, in much less board area. Figure 8 and Figure 9 are the resulting EMI plots, after filtering by the QPI-8, of the total noise, both common and differential mode, of a Vicor Brick converter. These converters are mounted on a QPI-8 evaluation board and tested under various loads. The red and blue traces represent the positive and negative branches of total noise, as measured using an industry standard LISN setup, as is shown in Figures 6 and 7. Figure 3 – Simplified Active EMI filter circuit. Differential-mode EMI is typically larger in magnitude than common-mode, since common-mode is produced by the physical imbalances in the differential loop path. Reducing differential EMI will cause a reduction in common-mode EMI. Passive EMI Filtering The basic premise of filtering EMI is to insert a highimpedance, at the EMI’s base frequency, in both the differential and common-mode paths as it returns to the power source. Passive filters use common-mode chokes and “Y” capacitors to filter out common-mode EMI. These chokes are designed to present a high-impedance at the EMI frequency in series with the return path, and a low impedance path to the earth signal via the “Y” caps. This network will force the EMI signals to re-circulate within a confined area and not to propagate to the outside world. Often two common-mode networks are required to filter EMI within the frequency span required to Picor Corporation · picorpower.com QPI-8 Typically, the lower the frequency the greater the needed inductance would be to properly filter the EMI signal. This means either a larger core or a greater number of turns on a smaller core. A larger core requires more board space, where a smaller core with more turns has a greater amount of unwanted parasitics that can affect the filters ability to attenuate EMI signals. Figure 3 is a simplified schematic of the QPI-8’s active and passive circuitry used for EMI filtering. The QPI-8’s active filter uses a small high-frequency common-mode transformer to filter the higher frequencies and adds a sensing element to it so that the lower frequency common mode signal can be sensed and a correction signal can be generated and inserted into the shield connection. By this means, the QPI-8 is capable of providing EMI filtering of converters in far less space than standard passive filters and can provide filtering over the entire EN55022 class B range. Rev 1.5, Page 3 of 17 QPI-8 QUIETPOWER EMI Management favor one topology versus another. The EMI generated by the “base-plate” configuration is much greater than that generated by the “open-frame”. Selecting the right topology will greatly reduce the amount of EMI signal that needs to be filtered. The more effectively EMI is managed at the source, namely the power converter, the less EMI attenuation the filter will have to do. The addition of “Y” capacitors to the input and output power nodes of the converter will help to limit the amount of EMI that will propagate to the input source. Figure 2 shows the base-plate topology of re-circulating “Y” caps. Here, CY1 to CY4 are connected to each power node of the dc-dc converter, and then are commoned together on a copper shield plane created under the converter. The addition of the copper shield plane helps in the containment of the radiated EMI, converting it back to conducted EMI and shunting it back to its source. The RY resistor, connected between the shield plane and the QPI’s shield pin, provides an impedance that makes the QPI’s common mode noise cancelation signal more effective at removing the common mode noise that would normally return to the shield/earth connection. It is important when laying out the QPI that the RY resistor connects to the QPI’s shield pin before making the connection to earth ground. Figure 4 – An unfiltered converter’s response to “open-frame” (light blue) and “base-plate” (purple) EMI configurations. There are two basic topologies for the connection of the recirculating “Y” capacitors, referred to as “open-frame” and “base-plate”. Figure 4 illustrates how a converter can In Figure 5, the open-frame topology is shown where the “Y” capacitors (CY1 and CY2) re-circulate the EMI signals between the positive input and output, and the negative input and output nodes of the power conversion stage.

QPI-8 Rev 1.5, Page 5 of 17 QPI-8 QUIETPOWER Hot-Swap Function charges the bulk capacitor by the third pulse of current, also signaling that power is once again good. During the short circuit the input current is limited to 12A peaks, with an “on” duty cycle of about 1%. Figure 10 - QPI-8 Block Diagram The hot-swap of the QPI-8 sits before the active EMI filter and ™ is designed to align with the AdvancedTCA PICMG3.0 guidelines of 48V, 200W boards. Its 6A circuit breaker current rating allows the QPI-8 to provide 200W of power down to the minimum bus voltage of 36V. Its 12A maximum current limit allows for fast charging of a converter’s input bulk storage capacitance. Its ability to “retry” after a circuit breaker fault time-out enables the QPI-8 to charge large amounts of bulk capacitance through multiple 12A current pulses before signaling that power is “good” via the PWRGD pin. This signal should be used to enable the QPI-8’s load converter. The QPI-8 has a default under-voltage limit of 34V to turn on, and 32V to turn off. The over-voltage limit is 76V to turn off, 72V to turn on. The high-side of each resistor string is brought out to allow the user to trim up one or both of the voltage limits, or the pins can be connected directly to BUS+ for the default under and over voltage limits. The equations in Figure 12 provide the new trip point voltages for a given added series resistor, RUVEN and/or ROV, as is shown in Figure 13. Figure 12 – Resulting UVEN and OV voltage equations based on selected series resistors. Having access to the high side of the internal resistor divider string enables the user to filter one or both nodes, allowing the QPI-8 to pass various transient requirements of PICMG3.0. Figure 11 - 2 second short applied across QPI-8's outputs. The waveforms shown in Figure 11 are of a running QPI-8 that has a short applied across its output for a 2 second duration. The PWRGD signal (blue, CH1) is initially high, the VSW voltage (light blue, CH2) is low with respect to BUS-, and the input current (green, CH4) is at a minimum load. With a short applied, PWRGD drops to a low value and the voltage on VSW returns to the BUS+ value. The QPI-8 detects a current fault and begins a cycle of trying to charge the bulk capacitors, then waiting. Once the short is lifted, the QPI-8 Picor Corporation · picorpower.com QPI-8 Figure 13 - UVEN filtering for Zero-Volt BUS transients. The normal response of the QPI-8 to a BUS supply transient which drops below the UV limit is to assert the PWRGD pin low and shut off its pass FET. When the UV requirements are Rev 1.5, Page 6 of 17 once again satisfied the QPI-8 then will require ~16ms to restart and turn the pass FET back on, charging the bulk capacitance. The PWRGD signal will be low during the whole time of the transient, the 16ms delay and the time required to restore the BUS voltage across the bulk capacitors. See Figure 18 for a detailed description of the under and over voltage fault event timings. QPI-8 QUIETPOWER up to the bus supply voltage is dependent on the value of RC and CHOLD-UP. If the bus supply were to be removed, the energy stored in CHOLD-UP will be released through the diode D and the QHOLD-UP FET, which will conduct either by being actively turned on by PWRGD or through its body diode. Once the bus voltage is restored, CHOLD-UP will start to re-charge back to the bus supply voltage. The ATCA guidelines have a 5ms, zero-volt bus transient requirement that must be met. The circuit in Figure 13 shows that with the addition of a series diode (D), resistor (RUVEN) and a capacitor (CE), the UVEN pin can be filtered from reacting immediately to a transient loss of power, thereby maintaining a high PWRGD status and allowing the converter to run off of its bulk capacitors. There is a practical limit to the amount of bulk capacitance that can be used as an energy source during a low voltage bus transient event. Upon recovery from the transient, the QPI-8 has to supply the current to charge the capacitors back to the BUS+ voltage value and provide the current for the converter in less time that the fault delay, about 1.2ms. If the caps cannot be completely charged prior to the fault time-out, then the QPI-8 will shut off its pass FET, assert the PWRGD pin low, and then retry about 95ms later. For example: A system with a bus voltage of 48V and a 4A bus current has a drop in the bus voltage to 40V and then quickly recovers back to 48V. While at 40V the bus current increases to 4.8A to maintain the output load. To restore the bulk capacitor back to the 48V bus voltage the amount of bus current available, limited by the QPI-8’s current limit of 12A, will be the 12A minus the average converter load current (4.4A). Without regard to tolerances, the equation to calculate the maximum amount of capacitance that can be charged within the 12A pulse period (1.2ms) is: The amount of capacitance required can be determined using the following equation: Where: E = Hold-up energy VBUS = BUS supply voltage VUVLO = converter’s UVLO limit The 15V zener and 100V diodes are used to protect the FET’s gate to source maximum voltage limit and to protect the QPI8’s PWRGD pin. At start-up, the voltage on QPI- is equal to BUS+ with respect to BUS-. If the 100V diode were not present, then the PWRGD pin would be pulled up to the BUS+ voltage minus the diode drop of zener. At start-up, the PWRGD pin is in an active low state and will get damaged being forced to the BUS+ voltage. The zener diode protects against the FET’s maximum gate to source voltage being exceeded. Where I = 4.4A Δt = 1.2ms ΔV = 8V The value of the bulk capacitor is 1140µF; to maintain some margin for capacitor tolerance a 1000uF capacitor or smaller should be used. Another option is to use a current limiting charge circuit to restore the capacitors. In Figure 14, the bulk storage capacitor (CHOLD-UP) is charged through RC after PWRGD has been released from its active low state and QHOLD-UP is allowed to turn on. The time it takes for CHOLD-UP to charge Picor Corporation · picorpower.com Figure 14 - Powergood controlled, auxiliary bulk storage capacitor charging circuit. QPI-8 The alternative to adding large amounts of bulk capacitors to the converter’s input is to create a voltage supply greater than that of the bus supply. This takes advantage of the increased stored energy of a capacitor at higher voltages. Rev 1.5, Page 7 of 17 QPI-8 VBOOST QPI- QPI+ QPI- QPI+ QUIETPOWER Figure 15 - Simplified Hi-Voltage Boost Circuit for Charging Bulk Storage Capacitors. The circuit in Figure 15 shows a simplified version of a PWRGD enabled boost circuit. The bulk storage capacitance (CBULK) is initially charged to BUS+, along with the CIN capacitor, through the body diode of the PFET. Once these capacitors are fully charged, PWRGD enables the boost converter to slowly charge the bulk capacitance to the desired hi-voltage. When a low QPI+ voltage is detected, the BUS VOLTAGE MONITOR circuit enables the PFET to discharge some of its energy into the load converter’s CIN capacitor and to the load. When the QPI+ rail reaches a pre-determined limit, it shuts off the PFET and the rail starts to drop again. This circuit acts much like a ripple regulator and will maintain the output load until either the BUS voltage is restored or the energy of the bulk capacitor is depleted. limit is set by the current limit level and the duty cycle of the circuit breaker timer, which is about 99% off time. An excessive load will discharge the bulk capacitors during the off time to a level where the on time charging current will never charge the capacitor to the full bus voltage. Only after Powergood has been established should the load be enabled. The QPI-8 has a current sensing circuit that shuts off the internal pass FET if a high di/dt is sensed across its internal inductor. To avoid triggering this function, the PFET should be turned on in its linear region. Typically, a zener diode can be used to regulate the VG-S of the PFET and the amount of energy discharged from the bulk capacitance. The waveforms in Figure 16 demonstrate a zero-volt bus transient and the response of the hi-voltage boost circuit. The storage caps provide energy to sustain the load, while the bus is at zero for 5ms. The input current (green, CH4) drops to zero while the load current (violet, CH3) remains constant. The voltage across the bulk storage caps (light blue, CH2) slowly decays while input voltage to the converter (blue, CH1) is regulated. Figure 16 - 5ms, 0V transient with 200W Load. CH1 and CH2 are offset by 50V DC. It is critical to keep the load current on the converter’s input capacitor to less than 25mA during the initial start-up. This Picor Corporation · picorpower.com QPI-8 Rev 1.5, Page 8 of 17 QPI-8 QPI-8 Timing Waveforms The waveforms in Figure 17 are the typical start-up waveforms that would be seen in a system where two current pulses are required to completely charge the bulk capacitance to the bus voltage. The GATE waveform is an internal signal and cannot be measured externally; it is shown only for reference. Once VIN is established and the UV and OV thresholds are satisfied, the internal FET’s gate will start to get driven high after a 15ms delay. This delay allows for insertion debouncing. As the FET turns “on” and allows the passing of current the magnitude of the current is monitored. Once it reaches the 6A circuit breaker threshold an internal fault timer is started and the current is limited to a 12A maximum value. If the current does not drop to a value below the 6A circuit breaker limit before the fault timer ends then the gate is shut “off” and remains off for about 95ms. After this time the gate is again turned on and current is allowed to pass. Once the current is below the circuit breaker limit, the FET is fully turned “on” to its minimum rds value and the Powergood pin is released (open drain). QUIETPOWER The change in voltage across VSW is dependent upon the value of the bulk capacitance that the QPI-8 is charging. The circuit breaker fault time is 300us when the voltage on VSW is greater than 40V, referenced to BUS-; or if there is no voltage change across VSW during the 12A current pulse, indicating a short across the bulk capacitor. Once below the 40V limit, and a decreasing voltage across VSW, the fault time is increased to 1.2ms to charge the bulk capacitors faster. The timing waveforms for an OV (Over-voltage) and (Under-voltage) events are shown in Figure 18. After initial start-up delay, the internal FET’s gate is turned Once its gate-to-source voltage reaches 8V it releases PWRGD pin and allows it to get pulled up to VIN. In the event of an OV fault, the QPI-8 will turn off its internal FET and it will remain off until the OV fault is cleared. Once cleared, the gate immediately starts to turn back on. With an UV fault, the FET is again turned off, but the gate is not turned back on until 15ms after the UV fault has been cleared. Figure 17 - QPI-8 current fault timing diagram.

PCB Layout When laying out the QPI-8 EMI filter it is important for the designer to be aware of the radiated EMI field that all converters emit and to place the QPI-8 outside of this field area. It is also recommended that the bus lines feeding into the QPI filter are not routed such that they lie between the QPI and the converter, or that their copper planes over-lap on inner layers. This can cause EMI noise to be coupled from input to output via the parasitic capacitance between the planes. In Figure 31, the QPI-8 is located ~1.5 inches from the converter’s input pins to keep the radiated EMI from bypassing the filter and coupling directly to the BUS feeds. Post Solder Cleaning Picor’s LZ version QP SIPs are not hermetically sealed and must not be exposed to liquid, including but not limited to cleaning solvents, aqueous washing solutions or pressurized sprays. When soldering, it is recommended that no-clean flux solder be used, as this will ensure that potentially corrosive mobile ions will not remain on, around, or under the module following the soldering process. For applications where the end product must be cleaned in a liquid solvent, Picor recommends using the QPI-8LZ-01, open-frame version of the EMI filter.
