Input line fusing is recommended at system level, in order to provide thermal protection in case of catastrophic failure. The fuse shall be selected by closely matching system requirements with the following characteristics: Building Blocks and System Designs +IN ~ + ~ – Recommended fuse: Change to 216 Series Littlefuse 8A or lower +OUT current rating (usually greater than the VIA PFM maximum current at lowest input voltage) Maximum voltage rating (usually greater than the maximum possible input voltage) VIA PFM™ MOV -IN -OUT Holdup Capacitor Ambient temperature Breaking capacity per application requirements Nominal melting I2t Figure 20 – 400 W Universal AC-to-DC Supply Source Inductance Considerations The VIA PFM is a high efficiency AC-to-DC converter, operating from a universal AC input to generate an isolated SELV 48 VDC output bus with power factor correction. It is the key component of an AC-to-DC power supply system such as the one shown in Figure 20 above. The input to the VIA PFM is a rectified sinusoidal AC source with a power factor maintained by the module with harmonics conforming to IEC 61000-3-2. Internal filtering enables compliance with the standards relevant to the application (Surge, EMI, etc.). See EMI/EMC Compliance standards on Page 13. The module uses secondary-side energy storage (at the SELV 48 V bus) to maintain output hold up through line dropouts and brownouts. Downstream regulators also provide tighter voltage regulation, if required. Traditional PFC Topology Full Wave Rectifier EMI/TVS Filter Isolated DC / DC 48 V Bus Converter Figure 21 – Traditional PFC AC-to-DC supply To cope with input voltages across worldwide AC mains (85 – 264 Vac), traditional AC-DC power supplies (Figure 21) use two power conversion stages: 1) a PFC boost stage to step up from a rectified input as low as 85 Vac to ~380 Vdc; and 2) a DC-DC down converter from 380 Vdc to a 48 V bus. The efficiency of the boost stage and of traditional power supplies is significantly compromised operating from worldwide AC lines as low as 85 Vac. Adaptive Cell™ Topology With its single stage Adaptive Cell™ topology, the VIA PFM enables consistently high efficiency conversion from worldwide AC mains to a 48 V bus and efficient secondary-side power distribution. The VIA PFM Powertrain uses a unique Adaptive Cell Topology that dynamically matches the powertrain architecture to the AC line voltage. In addition the VIA PFM uses a unique control algorithm to reduce the AC line harmonics yet still achieve rapid response to dynamic load conditions presented to it at the DC output terminals. Given these unique power processing features, the VIA PFM can expose deficiencies in the AC line source impedance that may result in unstable operation if ignored. It is recommended that for a single VIA PFM, the line source inductance should be no greater than 1 mH for a universal AC input of 100 - 240 V. If the VIA PFM will be operated at 240 V nominal only , the source impedance may be increased to 2 mH. For either of the preceding operating conditions it is best to be conservative and stay below the maximum source inductance values. When multiple VIA PFM’s are used on a single AC line, the inductance should be no greater than 1 mH/N, where N is the number of VIA PFM’s on the AC branch circuit, or 2 mH/N for 240 Vac operation. It is important to consider all potential sources of series inductance including and not limited to, AC power distribution transformers, structure wiring inductance, AC line reactors, and additional line filters. Non-linear behavior of power distribution devices ahead of the VIA PFM may further reduce the maximum inductance and require testing to ensure optimal performance. If the VIA PFM is to be utilized in large arrays, the VIA PFMs should be spread across multiple phases or sources thereby minimizing the source inductance requirements, or be operated at a line voltage close to 240 Vac. Vicor Applications should be contacted to assist in the review of the application when multiple devices are to be used in arrays. Fault Handling Input Undervoltage (UV) Fault Protection The input voltage is monitored by the micro-controller to detect an input under voltage condition. When the input voltage is less than the VIN-UVLO-, a fault is detected, the fault latch and reset logic disables the modulator, the modulator stops powertrain switching, and the output voltage of the unit falls. After a time tUVLO, the unit shuts down. Faults lasting less than tUVLO may not be detected. Such a fault does not go through an auto-restart cycle. Once the input voltage rises above VINUVLO+, the unit recovers from the input UV fault, the powertrain resumes normal switching after a time tON and the output voltage of the unit reaches the set-point voltage within a time tSS. VIA PFM™ Rev 1.3 vicorpower.com Page 16 of 24 07/2015 800 927.9474 PFM4914xB6M48D0yzz Overcurrent (OC) Fault Protection The unit’s output current, determined by VEAO, VIN_B and the primaryside sensed output voltage is monitored by the microcontroller to detect an output OC condition. If the output current exceeds its current limit, a fault is detected, the reset logic disables the modulator, the modulator stops powertrain switching, and the output voltage of the module falls after a time tOC. As long as the fault persists, the module goes through an auto-restart cycle with off time equal to tOFF + tON and on time equal to tOC. Faults shorter than a time tOC may not be detected. Once the fault is cleared, the module follows its normal start up sequence after a time tOFF. Short Circuit (SC) Fault Protection The microcontroller determines a short circuit on the output of the unit by measuring its primary sensed output voltage and EAO. Most commonly, a drop in the primary-sensed output voltage triggers a short circuit event. The module responds to a short circuit event within a time tSC. The module then goes through an auto restart cycle, with an off time equal to tOFF + tON and an on time equal to tSC, for as long as the short circuit fault condition persists. Once the fault is cleared, the unit follows its normal start up sequence after a time tOFF. Faults shorter than a time tSC may not be detected. Temperature Fault Protection The microcontroller monitors the temperature within the VIA PFM. If this temperature exceeds TJ-OTP+, an overtemperature fault is detected, the reset logic block disables the modulator, the modulator stops the powertrain switching and the output voltage of the VIA PFM falls. Once the case temperature falls below TCASE-OTP-, after a time greater than or equal to tOFF, the converter recovers and undergoes a normal restart. For the C-grade version of the converter, this temperature is 75°C. Faults shorter than a time tOTP may not be detected. If the temperature falls below TCASE-UTP-, an undertemperature fault is detected, the reset logic disables the modulator, the modulator stops powertrain switching and the output voltage of the unit falls. Once the case temperature rises above TCASEUTP, after a time greater than or equal to tOFF, the unit recovers and undergoes a normal restart. Output Filtering The VIA PFM requires an output bulk capacitor in the range of 6,800 μF 2 2 C = 2*POUT*(0.005+td) / (V2 – V1 ) where: C VIA PFM’s output bulk capacitance in farads td Hold-up time in seconds POUT VIA PFM’s output power in watts V2 Output voltage of VIA PFM’s converter in volts Downstream regulator undervoltage turn off (volts) V1 –OR– POUT / IOUT-PK, whichever is greater. to 15,000 μF for proper operation of the PFC front-end. A minimum 10,000 μF is recommended for full rated output. Capacitance can be reduced proportionally for lower maximum loads. The output voltage has the following two components of voltage ripple: 1) Line frequency voltage ripple: 2*fLINE Hz component 2) Switching frequency voltage ripple: 1 MHz module switching frequency component (see Figure 5). Line Frequency Filtering Output line frequency ripple depends upon output bulk capacitance. Output bulk capacitor values should be calculated based on line frequency voltage ripple. High-grade electrolytic capacitors with adequate ripple current ratings, low ESR and a minimum voltage rating of 63 V are recommended. lPK Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) The microcontroller monitors the primary sensed output voltage to detect output OVP. If the primary sensed output voltage exceeds VOUTOVLO+, a fault is latched, the logic disables the modulator, the modulator stops powertrain switching, and the output voltage of the module falls after a time tSOVP. Faults shorter than a time tSOVP may not be detected. This type of fault is a latched fault and requires that 1) the EN pin be toggled or 2) the input power be recycled to recover from the fault. Hold-up Capacitance The VIA PFM uses secondary-side energy storage (at the SELV 48 V bus) and optional PRM® regulators to maintain output hold up through line dropouts and brownouts. The module’s output bulk capacitance can be sized to achieve the required hold up functionality. lPK/2 loutDC lfLINE Figure 22 – Output current waveform Hold-up time depends upon the output power drawn from the VIA PFM based AC-to-DC front end and the input voltage range of downstream DC-to-DC converters. The following formula can be used to calculate hold-up capacitance for a system comprised of VIA PFM and a downstream regulator: VIA PFM™ Rev 1.3 vicorpower.com Page 17 of 24 07/2015 800 927.9474 PFM4914xB6M48D0yzz Based on the output current waveform, as seen in Figure 22, the following formula can be used to determine peak-to-peak line frequency output voltage ripple: VPPl ~ = to simplify the thermal solution into a roughly equivalent circuit where power dissipation is modeled as a current source, isothermal surface temperatures are represented as voltage sources and the thermal resistances are represented as resistors. Figure 23 shows the “thermal circuit” for the VIA module. 0.2 * POUT / (VOUT * fLINE * C) where: VPPl Output voltage ripple Peak-to-peak line frequency POUT Average output power – Output voltage set point, nominally 48 V fLINE Frequency of line voltage C Output bulk capacitance IDC Maximum average output current IPK Peak-to-peak line frequency output current ripple – + Switching Frequency Filtering This is included within the VIA PFM. No external filtering is necessary for most applications. For the most noise sensitive applications, a common mode choke followed by two caps to PE GND will reduce switching noise further. s Figure 23 – Double sided cooling VIA thermal model In this case, the internal power dissipation is PDISS, RJC_TOP and RJC_BOT are thermal resistance characteristics of the VIA module and the top and bottom surface temperatures are represented as TC_TOP, and TC_BOT. It interesting to notice that the package itself provides a high degree of thermal coupling between the top and bottom case surfaces (represented in the model by the resistor RHOU). This feature enables two main options regarding thermal designs: Single side cooling: the model of Figure 23 can be simplified by calculating the parallel resistor network and using one simple thermal resistance number and the internal power dissipation curves; an example for bottom side cooling only is shown in Figure 24. EMI Filtering and Transient Voltage Suppression EMI Filtering The VIA PFM with PFC is designed such that it will comply with EN55022 Class B for Conducted Emissions with a commercially available off-the-shelf EM filter. The emissions spectrum is shown in Figures 13 - 16. If one of the outputs is connected to earth ground, a small output common mode choke is also recommended. RJC + TC_BOT EMI performance is subject to a wide variety of external influences such as PCB construction, circuit layout etc. As such, external components in addition to those listed herein may be required in specific instances to gain full compliance to the standards specified. Transient Voltage Suppression The VIA PFM contains line transient suppression circuitry to meet specifications for surge (i.e. EN61000-4-5) and fast transient conditions (i.e. EN61000-4-4 fast transient/“burst”). Thermal Considerations The VIA™ package provides effective conduction cooling from either of the two module surfaces. Heat may be removed from the top surface, the bottom surface or both. The extent to which these two surfaces are cooled is a key component for determining the maximum power that can be processed by a VIA, as can be seen from specified thermal operating area on Page 4. Since the VIA has a maximum internal temperature rating, it is necessary to estimate this internal temperature based on a system-level thermal solution. To this purpose, it is helpful – 0.8 * POUT / VOUT s TC_BOT RJC_BOT PDISS In certain applications, the choice of bulk capacitance may be determined by hold-up requirements and low frequency output voltage filtering requirements. Such applications may use the greater capacitance value determined from these requirements. The ripple current rating for the bulk capacitors can be determined from the following equation: ~ = TC_TOP RHOU VOUT Iripple + RJC_TOP PDISS s Figure 24 – Single-sided cooling VIA thermal model In this case, RJC can be derived as following: RJC = (RJC_TOP + RHOU) • RJC_BOT RJC_TOP + RHOU + RJC_BOT VIA PFM™ Rev 1.3 vicorpower.com Page 18 of 24 07/2015 800 927.9474 s PFM4914xB6M48D0yzz Double side cooling: while this option might bring limited advantage to the module internal components (given the surfaceto-surface coupling provided), it might be appealing in cases where the external thermal system requires allocating power to two different elements, like for example heatsinks with independent airflows or a combination of chassis/air cooling. Powering a Constant Power Load When the output voltage of the VIA PFM module is applied to the input of the downstream regulator, the regulator turns on and acts as a constant-power load. When the module’s output voltage reaches the input undervoltage turn on of the regulator, the regulator will attempt to start. However, the current demand of the downstream regulator at the undervoltage turn-on point and the hold-up capacitor charging current may force the VIA PFM into current limit. In this case, the unit may shut down and restart repeatedly. In order to prevent this multiple restart scenario, it is necessary to delay enabling a constant-power load when powered up by the upstream VIA PFM until after the output set point of the VIA PFM is reached. This can be achieved by 1. keeping the downstream constant-power load off during power up sequence and 2. turning the downstream constant-power load on after the output voltage of the module reaches 48 V steady state After the initial startup, the output of the VIA PFM can be allowed to fall to 30 V during a line dropout at full load. In this case, the circuit should not disable the downstream regulator if the input voltage falls after it is turned on; therefore, some form of hysteresis or latching is needed on the enable signal for the constant power load. The output capacitance of the VIA PFM should also be sized appropriately for a constant power load to prevent collapse of the output voltage of the module during line dropout (see Hold up Capacitance on Page 16). A constant-power load can be turned off after completion of the required hold up time during the power-down sequence or can be allowed to turn off when it reaches its own undervoltage shutdown point. The timing diagram in Figure 25 shows the output voltage of the VIA PFM and the downstream regulator’s enable pin voltage and output voltage of the PRM regulator for the power up and power down sequence. It is recommended to keep the time delay approximately 10 to 20 ms. Special care should be taken when enabling the constant-power load near the auto-ranger threshold, especially with an inductive source upstream of the VIA PFM. A load current spike may cause a large input voltage transient, resulting in a range change which could temporarily reduce the available power (see Adaptive Cell™ Topology below). Adaptive Cell™ Topology The Adaptive Cell topology utilizes magnetically coupled “top” and “bottom” primary cells that are adaptively configured in series or parallel by a configuration controller comprised of an array of switches. A microcontroller monitors operating conditions and defines the configuration of the top and bottom cells through a range control signal. A comparator inside the microcontroller monitors the line voltage and compares it to an internal voltage reference. If the input voltage of the VIA PFM crosses above the positive going cell reconfiguration threshold voltage, the top cell and bottom cell configure in series and the unit operates in “high” range. If the peak of input voltage of the unit falls below the negative-going range threshold voltage for two line cycles, the cell configuration controller configures the top cell and bottom cell in parallel, the unit operates in “low” range. Power processing is held off while transitioning between ranges and the output voltage of the unit may temporarily droop. External output hold up capacitance should be sized to support power delivery to the load during cell reconfiguration. The minimum specified external output capacitance is sufficient to provide adequate ride-through during cell reconfiguration for typical applications. Waveforms showing active cell reconfiguration can be seen in Figure 9. Dielectric Withstand The chassis of the VIA PFM is required to be connected to Protective Earth when installed in the end application and must satisfy the requirements of IEC 60950-1 for Class I products. Both sides of the housing are required to be connected to Protective Earth to satisfy safety and EMI requirements. Protective earthing can be accomplished through dedicated wiring harness (example: ring terminal clamped by mounting screw) or surface contact (example: pressure contact on bare conductive chassis or PCB copper layer with no solder mask). The VIA PFM contains an internal safety approved isolating component (VI ChiP) that provides the Reinforced Insulation from Input to Output. The isolating component is individually tested for Reinforced Insulation from Input to Output at 3000 Vac or 4242 Vdc prior to the final assembly of the VIA™. When the VIA assembly is complete the Reinforced Insulation can only be tested at Basic Insulation values as specified in the electric strength Test Procedure noted in clause 5.2.2 of IEC 60950-1.

The output of the VIA complies with the requirements of SELV circuits so only functional insulation is required from the output (SELV) to case (PE) because the case is required to be connected to protective earth in the final installation. The construction of the VIA can be summarized by describing it as a “Class II” component installed in a “Class I” subassembly. The reinforced insulation from input to output can only be tested at a basic insulation value of 2121 Vdc on the completely assembled VIA product.
