Due to the large number of variables in system design, TDK Innoveta recommends that the user verify the module’s thermal performance in the end application. The critical component should be thermo coupled and monitored, and should not exceed the temperature limit specified in the derating curve above. It is critical that the thermocouple be mounted in a manner that gives direct thermal contact or significant measurement errors may result. TDK Innoveta can provide modules with a thermocouple pre-mounted to the critical component for system verification tests. ©2010 TDK Innoveta Inc. iCF12_3A_Full_Datasheet_091010.doc 9/10/2010 rev 1.1 ℡ (877) 498-0099 11/16 Advance Data Sheet: iCF Series – Non-isolated SMT Power Module Soldering Information: iCF surface mountable power modules are intended to be compatible with standard surface mount component soldering processes and either hand placed or automatically picked and placed. The figure below shows the position for vacuum pick up. The maximum weight of the power module is 3g (0.106 oz.). Improper handling or cleaning processes can adversely affect the appearance, testability, and reliability of the power modules. The iCF product is a moisture sensitivity level 2 device. Contact TDK Innoveta technical support for guidance regarding proper handling, cleaning, and soldering of TDK Innoveta’s power modules. Reflow Soldering The iCF platform is an open frame power module manufactured with SMT (surface mount technology). Due to the high thermal mass of the power module and sensitivity to heat of some SMT components, extra caution should be taken when reflow soldering. Failure to follow the reflow soldering guidelines described below may result in permanent damage and/or affect performance of the power modules. The iCF power modules can be soldered using natural convection, forced convection, IR (radiant infrared), and convection/IR reflow technologies. The module should be thermally characterized in its application to develop a temperature profile. Thermal couples should be mounted to terminal 3 and terminal 6 and be monitored. The temperatures should be maintained below 260 degrees. Oven temperature and conveyer belt speeds should be controlled to ensure these limits are not exceeded. In most manufacturing processes, the solder paste required to form a reliable connection can be applied with a standard 6 mil stencil.

Superior thermal design and the ability to operate in severe application environments are key elements of a robust, reliable power module. A finite amount of heat must be dissipated from the power module to the surrounding environment. This heat is transferred by the three modes of heat transfer: convection, conduction and radiation. While all three modes of heat transfer are present in every application, convection is the dominant mode of heat transfer in most applications. However, to ensure adequate cooling and proper operation, all three modes should be considered in a final system configuration. power module of interest. The module temperature should be measured in the final system configuration to ensure proper thermal management of the power module. For thermal performance verification, the module temperature should be measured at the component indicated in the thermal measurement location figure on the thermal performance page for the power module of interest. In all conditions, the power module should be operated below the maximum operating temperature shown on the derating curve. For improved design margins and enhanced system reliability, the power module may be operated at temperatures below the maximum rated operating temperature. Module Centerline A I R F L O W The open frame design of the power module provides an air path to individual components. This air path improves convection cooling to the surrounding environment, which reduces areas of heat concentration and resulting hot spots. Test Setup: The thermal performance data of the power module is based upon measurements obtained from a wind tunnel test with the setup shown in the wind tunnel figure. This thermal test setup replicates the typical thermal environments encountered in most modern electronic systems with distributed power architectures. The electronic equipment in networking, telecom, wireless, and advanced computer systems operates in similar environments and utilizes vertically mounted PCBs or circuit cards in cabinet racks. The power module, as shown in the figure, is mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) and is vertically oriented within the wind tunnel. The cross section of the airflow passage is rectangular. The spacing between the top of the module and a parallel facing PCB is kept at a constant (0.5 in). The power module’s orientation with respect to the airflow direction can have a significant impact on the module’s thermal performance. Thermal Derating: For proper application of the power module in a given thermal environment, output current derating curves are provided as a design guideline on the Thermal Performance section for the ©2010 TDK Innoveta Inc. iCF12_3A_Full_Datasheet_091010.doc 9/10/2010 rev 1.1 Adjacent PCB 12.7 (0.50) 76 (3.0) AIRFLOW Air Velocity and Ambient Temperature Measurement Location Air Passage Centerline Wind Tunnel Test Setup Figure Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches). Heat transfer by convection can be enhanced by increasing the airflow rate that the power module experiences. The maximum output current of the power module is a function of ambient temperature (TAMB) and airflow rate as shown in the thermal performance figures on the thermal performance page for the power module of interest. The curves in the figures are shown for natural convection through 2 m/s (400 ft/min). The data for the natural convection condition has been collected at 0.3 m/s (60 ft/min) of airflow, which is the typical airflow generated by other heat dissipating components in many of the systems that these types of modules are used in. In the final system configurations, the airflow rate for the natural convection condition can vary due to temperature gradients from other heat dissipating components. ℡ (877) 498-0099 13/16 Advance Data Sheet: iCF Series – Non-isolated SMT Power Module Operating Information: Over-Current Protection: The power modules have short circuit protection to protect the module during severe overload conditions. During overload conditions, the power modules may protect themselves by entering a hiccup current limit mode. The modules will operate normally once the output current returns to the specified operating range. Remote On/Off: - The power modules have an internal remote on/off circuit. The user must supply compatible switch between the GND pin and the on/off pin. The maximum voltage generated by the power module at the on/off terminal is Vin,max. The maximum allowable leakage current of the switch is 10uA. The switch must be capable of maintaining a low signal Von/off < 0.5V while sinking 1mA. The standard on/off logic is positive logic. In the circuit configuration shown the power module will turn off if the external switch is on and it will be on if the switch is off and the on/off pin is pulled up to Vin by an external 20K ohm resistor. If the positive logic feature is not being used, terminal 1 should be left open. Rpullup Vin (+) On/ Off GND On/Off Circuit for positive logic An optional negative logic is available. In the circuit configuration shown the power module will turn on if the external switch is on and it will be off if the on/off pin is pulled up to Vin by an external 20K ohm resistor. If the negative logic feature is not being used, terminal 1 should be left open. ©2010 TDK Innoveta Inc. iCF12_3A_Full_Datasheet_091010.doc 9/10/2010 rev 1.1 Rpullup Vin (+) On/ Off GND On/Off Circuit for negative logic Remote Sense: The power modules feature remote sense to compensate for the effect of output distribution drops. The output voltage sense range defines the maximum voltage allowed between the output power terminals and output sense terminals, and it is found on the electrical data page for the power module of interest. If the remote sense feature is not being used, the Sense terminal should be connected to the Vo terminal. The output voltage at the Vo terminal can be increased by either the remote sense or the output voltage adjustment feature. The maximum voltage increase allowed is the larger of the remote sense range or the output voltage adjustment range; it is not the sum of both. As the output voltage increases due to the use of the remote sense, the maximum output current may need to be decreased for the power module to remain below its maximum power rating. Power Good: The power module features an opendrain power good signal which indicates if the output voltage is being regulated. When power is applied to the module, but the output voltage is more than +/12% from the nominal voltage set point due to input under voltage, over temperature, over load, or loss of control the power good will be pulled to ground through a 50 ohm maximum impedance. The maximum leakage current of the power good pin is 15uA. The voltage on the power good pin should be limited to less than 5.5V in all cases. If the power good feature is not used, the pin should be left open. ℡ (877) 498-0099 14/16 Advance Data Sheet: iCF Series – Non-isolated SMT Power Module Output Voltage Adjustment: The output voltage of the power module may be adjusted by using an external resistor connected between the Vout trim terminal and GND terminal. If the output voltage adjustment feature is not used, trim terminal should be left open. Care should be taken to avoid injecting noise into the power module’s trim pin.
