FGLS12SR6040*A
4.5-14.4Vdc Input, 40A, 0.6-2.0Vdc Output
The Tomodachi Series of non-isolated dc-dc
converters deliver exceptional electrical and thermal
performance in DOSA based footprints for
Point-of-Load converters. Operating from a
4.5Vdc-14.4Vdc input, these are the converters of
choice for Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) and
Distributed Power Architecture applications that
require high efficiency, tight regulation, and high
reliability in elevated temperature environments with
low airflow. The Tunable Loop™ feature allows the
user to optimize the dynamic response of the
converter to match the load with reduced amount of
output capacitance leading to savings on cost and
PWB area.
The FGLS12SR6040*A converter of the Tomodachi
Series delivers 40A of output current at a tightly
regulated programmable output voltage of 0.6Vdc to
2.0Vdc. The thermal performance of the
FGLS12SR6040*A is best-in-class: Little derating is
needed up to 85℃, under natural convection.

Input Filtering
The FGLS12SR6040*A converters should be
connected to a low ac-impedance source. A highly
inductive source can affect the stability of the module.
An input capacitance must be placed directly adjacent
to the input pin of the module, to minimize input ripple
voltage and ensure module stability.
To minimize input voltage ripple, ceramic capacitors
are recommended at the input of the module. Fig-1
shows the input ripple voltage for various output
voltages at 40A of load current with 4x22uF, 6x22uF
or 8x22uF ceramic capacitors and an input of 12V.
load current of 40A. For stable operation of the
module, limit the capacitance to less than the
maximum output capacitance as specified in the
electrical specification table. Optimal performance of
the module can be achieved by using the Tunable
LoopTM feature described later in this data sheet.

Output Filtering
The FGLS12SR6040*A is designed for low output
ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output
ripple specification with 0.1uF ceramic and 47uF
ceramic capacitors at the output of the module.
However, additional output filtering may be required
by the system designer for a number of reasons.
First, there may be a need to further reduce the output
ripple and noise of the module. Second, the dynamic
response characteristics may need to be customized
to a particular load step change.
For safety agency approval the power module must
be installed in compliance with the spacing and
separation requirements of the end-use safety agency
standards, i.e., UL 60950-1 2nd, CSA C22.2 No.
60950-1-07, DIN EN 60950-1:2006 + A11 (VDE0805
Teil 1 + A11):2009-11; EN 60950-1:2006 +
A11:2009-03.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements. The power
module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all
inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 30A, 100V
(for example, Littlefuse 456 series) in the positive
input lead.
To reduce the output ripple and improve the dynamic
response to a step load change, additional
capacitance at the output can be used. Low ESR
polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended to
improve the dynamic response of the module. Fig-2
provides output ripple information for different
external capacitance values at various Vo and a full

Monotonic Start-up and Shut-down
Feature Descriptions
The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown
behavior for any combination of rated input voltage,
output current and operating temperature range.
Remote On/Off
The FGLS12SR6040*A power modules feature an
On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off
logic options are available. In the Positive Logic
On/Off option, (device code suffix “P” - see Part
Number System), the module turns ON during a logic
High on the On/Off pin and turns OFF during a logic
Low. With the Negative Logic On/Off option, (device
code suffix “N” - see Part Number System), the
module turns OFF during logic High and ON during
logic Low. The On/Off signal should be always
referenced to ground. For either On/Off logic option,
leaving the On/Off pin disconnected will turn the
module ON when input voltage is present.
For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for
using the On/Off pin is shown in Fig-3. For negative
logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is
shown in Fig-4.
MODULE

Startup into Pre-biased Output
The module can start into a prebiased output as long
as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output
voltage.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the module is programmable to
any voltage from 0.6dc to 2.0Vdc by connecting a
resistor between the Trim and SIG_GND pins of the
module. Certain restrictions apply on the output
voltage set point depending on the input voltage.
These are shown in the Output Voltage vs. Input
Voltage Set Point Area plot in Fig-5. The Upper Limit
curve shows that for output voltages lower than 0.8V,
the input voltage must be lower than the maximum of
14.4V. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output
voltages higher than 0.6V, the input voltage needs to
be larger than the minimum of 4.5V.

Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
module by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from
the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the
output voltage and by connecting a resistor,
Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to output pin for
margining-down. Fig-7 shows the circuit configuration
for output voltage margining. The POL Programming

Without an external resistor between Trim and
SIG_GND pins, the output of the module will be
0.6Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor,
Rtrim for a desired output voltage, should be as per
the following equation:

Note that the tolerance of a trim resistor will affect the
tolerance of the output voltage. Standard 1% or 0.5%
resistors may suffice for most applications; however,
a tighter tolerance can be obtained by using two
resistors in series instead of one standard value
resistor.

various types of output voltage sequencing in their

The voltage applied to the SEQ pin should be scaled

recommended delay between the ON/OFF signal and
the sequencing signal is 10ms to ensure that the
module output is ramped up according to the
sequencing signal. This ensures that the module
soft-start routine is completed before the sequencing
signal is allowed to ramp up.
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is
equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will
shut down if the over-temperature threshold of 145°C
(typ) is exceeded at the thermal reference point Tref.
Once the unit goes into thermal shutdown it will then
wait to cool before attempting to restart.
Input Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
At input voltages below the input under-voltage
lockout limit, the module operation is disabled. The
module will begin to operate at an input voltage above
the under-voltage lockout turn-on threshold.
Synchronization

of
the
When the scaled down sequencing voltage is applied
to the SEQ pin, the output voltage tracks this voltage
until the output reaches the set-point voltage. The
final value of the sequencing voltage must be set
higher than the set-point voltage of the module. The
output voltage follows the sequencing voltage on a
one-to-one basis. By connecting multiple modules
together, multiple modules can track their output
voltages to the voltage applied on the SEQ pin.
The module switching frequency can be synchronized
to a signal with an external frequency within a
specified range. Synchronization can be done by
using the external signal applied to the SYNC pin of
the module as shown in Fig-I, with the converter being
synchronized by the rising edge of the external signal.
The Electrical Specifications table specifies the
requirements of the external SYNC signal. If the
SYNC pin is not used, the module should free run at
the default switching frequency.
If synchronization is not being used, connect the
SYNC pin to GND.
The module’s output can track the SEQ pin signal
with slopes of up to 0.5V/msec during power-up or
power-down.
To initiate simultaneous shutdown of the modules, the
SEQ pin voltage is lowered in a controlled manner.
The output voltage of the modules tracks the voltages
below their set-point voltages on a one-to-one basis.
A valid input voltage must be maintained until the
tracking and output voltages reach ground potential.
Active Load Sharing (-P Option)
Over-Current Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload)
condition, the unit is equipped with internal
current-limiting circuitry and can endure current
limiting continuously. At the point of current-limit
inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. The unit
operates normally once the output current is brought
back into its specified range.

For additional power requirements, the FGLS power

Up to five modules can be configured in parallel, with
active load sharing.
To implement paralleling, the following conditions
must be satisfied.
 All modules connected in parallel must be
frequency synchronized where they are switching
at the same frequency. This is done by using
the SYNC function of the module and connecting
to an external frequency source. Modules can be

interleaved to reduce input ripple/filtering
requirements.
The share pins of all units in parallel must be
connected together. The path of these
connections should be as direct as possible.
The remote sense connections to all modules
should be made that to the same points for the
output, i.e. all VS+ and VS- terminals for all
modules are connected to the power bus at the
same points.
Some special considerations apply for design of
converters in parallel operation:
 When sizing the number of modules required for
parallel operation, take note of the fact that
current sharing has some tolerance. In addition,
under transient conditions such as a dynamic
load change and during startup, all converter
output currents will not be equal. To allow for
such variation and avoid the likelihood of a
converter shutting off due to a current overload,
the total capacity of the paralleled system should
be no more than 90% of the sum of the individual
converters. As an example, for a system of four
FGLS converters in parallel, the total current
drawn should be less that 90% of (3 x 40A), i.e.
less than 108 A.
 All modules should be turned ON and OFF
together. This is so that all modules come up at
the same time avoiding the problem of one
converter sourcing current into the other leading
to an overcurrent trip condition. To ensure that all
modules come up simultaneously, the on/off pins
of all paralleled converters should be tied together
and the converters enabled and disabled using
the on/off pin. Note that this means that
converters in parallel cannot be digitally turned
ON as that does not ensure that all modules
being paralleled turn on at the same time.
 If digital trimming is used to adjust the overall
output voltage, the adjustments need to be made
in a series of small steps to avoid shutting down
the output. Each step should be no more than
20mV for each module. For example, to adjust
the overall output voltage in a setup with two
modules (A and B) in parallel from 1V to 1.1V,
module A would be adjusted from 1.0 to 1.02V
followed by module B from 1.0 to 1.02V, then
each module in sequence from 1.02 to 1.04V and
so on until the final output voltage of 1.1V is
reached.
 If the Sequencing function is being used to
start-up and shut down modules and the module
is being held to 0V by the tracking signal then
there may be small deviations on the module
output. This is due to controller duty cycle
limitations encountered in trying to hold the
voltage down near 0V.
Http://www.fdk.com

The share bus is not designed for redundant
operation and the system will be non-functional
upon failure of one of the units when multiple
units are in parallel. In particular, if one of the
converters shuts down during operation, the other
converters may also shut down due to their
outputs hitting current limit. In such a situation,
unless a coordinated restart is ensured, the
system may never properly restart since different
converters will try to restart at different times
causing an overload condition and subsequent
shutdown. This situation can be avoided by
having an external output voltage monitor circuit
that detects a shutdown condition and forces all
converters to shut down and restart together.
When not using the active load share feature, share
pins should be left unconnected.
Power Good
The module provides a Power Good (PGOOD) signal
that is implemented with an open-drain output to
indicate that the output voltage is within the regulation
limits of the power module. The PGOOD signal will be
de-asserted to a low state if any condition such as
over-temperature, overcurrent or loss of regulation
occurs that would result in the output voltage going
outside the specified thresholds.
The default value of PGOOD ON thresholds are set at
±8% of the nominal Vset value, and PGOOD OFF
thresholds are set at ±10% of the nominal Vset. For
example, if the nominal voltage (Vset) is set at 1.0V,
then the PGOOD ON thresholds will be active
anytime the output voltage is between 0.92V and
1.08V, and PGOOD OFF thresholds are active at
0.90V and 1.10V respectively.
The PGOOD terminal can be connected through a
pull-up resistor (suggested value 100K) to a source
of 5VDC or lower.
Dual Layout
Identical dimensions and pin layout of Analog and
Digital Tomodachi modules permit migration from
one to the other without needing to change the layout.
In both cases the trim resistor is connected between
trim and signal ground SIG_GND.
Tunable Loop™
The module has a feature that optimizes transient
response of the module called Tunable Loop™
External capacitors are usually added to the output of
the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple
and noise and to reduce output voltage deviations

from the steady-state value in the presence of
dynamic load current changes. Adding external
capacitance however affects the voltage control loop
of the module, typically causing the loop to slow down
with sluggish response. Larger values of external
capacitance could also cause the module to become
unstable.
The Tunable Loop™ allows the user to externally
adjust the voltage control loop to match the filter
network connected to the output of the module. The
Tunable Loop™ is implemented by connecting a
series R-C between the SENSE and TRIM pins of the
module, as shown in Fig-10. This R-C allows the user
to externally adjust the voltage loop feedback
compensation of the module.

to meet output ripple and noise requirements.
Selecting RTUNE and CTUNE according to Table 2 will
ensure stable operation of the module.
In applications with tight output voltage limits in the
presence of dynamic current loading, additional
output capacitance will be required. Table 3 lists
recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE in order to
meet 2% output voltage deviation limits for some

Preliminary Data Sheet
FGLS12SR6040*A
4.5-14.4Vdc Input, 40A, 0.6-2.0Vdc Output
Characterization
Overview
The converter has been characterized for several
operational features, including efficiency, thermal
derating (maximum available load current as a
function of ambient temperature and airflow), ripple
and noise, transient response to load step changes,
start-up and shutdown characteristics.
(ii) The current rating of the converter (40A)
A maximum component temperature of 120°C should
not be exceeded in order to operate within the
derating curves. Thus, the temperature at the
thermocouple location shown in Fig-12 should not
exceed 130°C in normal operation.
Note that continuous operation beyond the derated
current as specified by the derating curves may lead
to degradation in performance and reliability of the
converter and may result in permanent damage.
Figures showing data plots and waveforms for
different output voltages are presented in the
following pages.
Thermal Considerations
Power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should
always be provided to help ensure reliable operation.
Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow,
module power dissipation, and the need for increased
reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of
the module will result in an increase in reliability.
The thermal data presented here is based on physical
measurements taken in a wind tunnel. The test
set-up is shown in Fig-11. The preferred airflow
direction for the module is in Fig-12.

recommended profile requires testing to verify results
and performance.
Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The 40A Analog Tomodachi modules use an open
frame construction and are designed for a fully
automated assembly process. The modules are fitted
with a label designed to provide a large surface area
for pick and place operations. The label meets all the
requirements for surface mount processing, as well
as safety standards, and is able to withstand reflow
temperatures of up to 300°C. The label also carries
product information such as product code, serial
number and the location of manufacture.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by
using open frame construction. Variables such as
nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and
placement speed should be considered to optimize
this process. The minimum recommended inside
nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 3mm. The
maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit
within the allowable component spacing, is 7mm.
MSL Rating
The 40A Analog Tomodachi modules have a MSL
rating of 2a.
Storage and Handling
The recommended storage environment and handling
procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount
packages is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling,
Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture / Reflow
Sensitive Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier
bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL
ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should
not be broken until time of use. Once the original
package is broken, the floor life of the product at
conditions of  30°C and 60% relative humidity varies
according to the MSL rating (see J-STD-033A). The
shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will be a
minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when
stored at the following conditions: < 40°C, < 90%
relative humidity.

Post Solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board
assembly process prior to electrical board testing.
The result of inadequate cleaning and drying can
affect both the reliability of a power module and the
testability of the finished circuit-board assembly. For
guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and
drying procedures, refer to Board Mounted Power
