Introduction The PI2007-EVAL1 allows the user to test the basic principles and operational characteristics of an Active ORing function in a redundant power architecture, while also experiencing the benefits and value of the PI2007 solution versus conventional Active ORing solutions. The PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board is configured to receive two independent power source inputs, per a typical redundant power architecture, through two Active ORing channels that are combined to form a redundant power output. Each channel contains a PI2007 controller and a 100V N-channel power MOSFET. The MOSFET foot print can take an SO-8 or Power SO-8 MOSFET package. Each channel is capable of up to 6A. The PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board is designed with optimized PCB layout and component placement to represent a realistic high density final design for an Picor Corporation • picorpower.com embedded high side Active ORing solution for 48V Bus (36V to 75V) applications requiring up to 6 A. This evaluation board is intended as an easy and simple way to test the electrical and thermal performance of the PI2007 Active ORing controller. Both dynamic and steady state testing of the PI2007 can be completed on the PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board, in addition to using the key features of the product. Dynamic testing can be completed under a variety of system level fault conditions to check for response time to faults. This document provides basic instructions for initial start-up and configuration of the evaluation board. Further information on the functionality of the PI2007 can be found in the PI2007 product data sheet. PI2007-EVAL1 User Guide Rev. 1.1 Page 1 of 10 Cool-ORing® PI2007 Product Description The Cool-ORing PI2007 with an external industry standard 100V N-channel MOSFET provides a complete Active ORing solution designed for use in wide range (36V to 75V) 48V Bus redundant power system architectures. The PI2007 controller with an N-channel MOSFET enables extremely low power loss with fast dynamic response to fault conditions, critical for high availability systems. The PI2007 controller with a low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET provides very high efficiency and low power loss during steady state operation. The PI2007 controller provides an active low fault flag output to the system during excessive forward current or reverse current, or during a VC under voltage. Figure 1 shows a photo of the PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board, with two PI2007 controllers and two N-channel MOSFETs used to form the two Active ORing channels. The board is built with two identical Active ORing circuits with options and features that enable the user to fully explore the capabilities of the PI2007 Active ORing controller.

Picor Corporation • picorpower.com PI2007-EVAL1 User Guide Rev. 1.1 Page 5 of 10 Before initial power-up follow these steps to configure the evaluation board for specific end application requirements: 2. : EN inputs: : 2.1. The enable inputs (EN1 and EN2) were left unconnected (open). PI2007 devices will be enabled when the enable pins are open. To disable the PI2007, connect the enable input to return (Rtn) with a wire or with an active device (Transistor or MOSFET). Leave EN1 and EN2 unconnected for the initial test. 3. : Controller maximum clamp voltage, 12.5V : Controller minimum clamp voltage, 11V Controller maximum bias current, use 2.0mA 0.1mA is added for margin RPG calculation example Vin (minimum) = 40V and Vin (maximum) = 50V Control Circuitry Bias: 3.1. The PI2007 control circuitry and the gate driver for the MOSFET are biased through the VC pin. An internal regulator clamps VC pin voltage with respect to the PG pin (VC-PG), to 11.7V typically. A bias resistor RPG (R1 and R2) or a Constant Current bias circuit is required if the voltage at the VC pin is higher than the minimum Voltage Clamp (VVC-CLM, 11V). PI2007EVAL1 has both circuits laid out. The constant current bias circuit components are installed while RPG is not installed. 3.2. If RPG is desired instead of the constant current bias circuit to save components: remove the constant current bias circuit components from the evaluation board. The constant current bias circuit components for upper ORing (U1) are Q7, R5, R7 and D7, the constant current bias circuit components for lower ORing (U2) are Q8, R6, R8 and D8. The RPG value can be selected using the following equations: And RPG maximum power dissipation is: 4. Hook Up of the Evaluation Board 4.1. Connect the positive terminal of PS1 power supply to Vin1. Connect the ground terminal of PS1 to its local Rtn. Set the power supply to 48V. Keep PS1 output disabled, off. 4.2. Connect the positive terminal of PS2 power supply to Vin2. Connect the ground terminal of PS2 to its local Rtn. Set the power supply to 48V. Keep PS2 output disabled, off. 4.3. Connect the logic power supply PS3 positive terminal to VL1 and VL2. Connect the ground terminal of this power supply to a Rtn terminal. Set the power supply to the desired logic voltage level, 3.3V or 5V. Keep PS3 output disabled, off. 4.4. Connect the electronic load to the output between Vout and its local Rtn. Set the load current to 5A. 4.5. Enable (turn on) PS1 power supply output. 4.6. Enable (turn on) PS3 power supply output. 4.7. Turn on the electronic load. Where: : : VC pin minimum applied voltage (Vin to Rtn) VC pin maximum applied voltage (Vin to Rtn) Picor Corporation • picorpower.com 4.8. Verify that the electronic load voltage reading increases to a few millivolts below 48V. This verifies that the MOSFET Q1 is in conduction mode. PI2007-EVAL1 User Guide Rev. 1.1 Page 6 of 10 4.9. Verify that Vin2 is low. This verifies that the Q2 MOSFET is off. 4.13. Disable (turn off) PS1, PS2, and PS3 outputs. 5.1. To emulate a real application, the BUS supplies for this test should have a solid output source such as a DC-DC converter that supplies high current and can be connected very close to the evaluation board to reduce stray parasitic inductance, or use the prospective supply sources of the end application where the PI2007 will be used. Typical bench power supplies have slow response to output load change. In this test when the power supply output is shorted and then released, the bench power supply may produce high output voltage with high current capability that may damage the device under test. 4.14. Enable (turn on) PS2 output then Enable PS3 outputs. 5.2. Do not install Input capacitors (C1 and/or C2) in this test. 4.15. Verify that the electronic load voltage reading is few millivolts below 48V. This verifies that the MOSFET is in conduction mode. 5.3. Output capacitor (C7) should be installed. 4.10. D2 should be on. This is due to a reverse voltage fault condition caused by the bus voltage being high with respect to the input voltage (Vin2). 4.11. Enable (turn on) PS2 output. 4.12. Verify that both PS1 and PS2 are sharing load current evenly by looking at the supply current. Power supplies output may need adjustment to set current sharing between the supplies. 4.16. D2 should be off. This verifies that there is no fault condition. 4.17. Verify that Vin1 is low. This verifies that the MOSFET Q1 is off. 4.18. D1 should be on. This is due to a reverse voltage fault condition caused by the bus voltage being high with respect to the input voltage (Vin1). 5. Input short circuit test: PI2007 has a very fast response (80ns) to a reverse current (Input short) fault condition. Measuring a short period event requires attention to the test set-up. Before proceeding, consider the following: Picor Corporation • picorpower.com 5.4. Place the scope probes very close to the MOSFET drain and source to measure Vout and Vin, and make sure that the scope ground leads are very short. You may use a close by ground pad for the scope probe return, such as C1, C2, C3 and C4 Rtn pads. 5.5. Apply a short at one of the inputs (Vin1 or Vin2) when both controllers (U1 and U2) are on, PS1 and PS2 are enabled. The short can be applied electronically using a MOSFET connected between Vin and Rtn or simply by connecting Vin to Rtn. Then measure the response time between when the short being applied and the MOSFET being disconnected (or turned off). An example for PI2007 response time to an input short circuit is shown in Figure 4. PI2007-EVAL1 User Guide Rev. 1.1 Page 7 of 10 Test Setup: DUT: PI2007-EVAL1 Vin1 = 48V Vin2 = 48V Output Load = 6A Test: Both input sources are turned on and sharing the load current, then applied a short for 1ms with a fast turn on MOSFET between Vin1 and Rtn. Test purpose: To show the PI2007 response to a fault condition, where the output of the input source is shorted or tried to source current from the load (Vout) Figure 4: Plot of PI2007 response time to reverse current detection PCB Layout Figure 5: PI2007-EVAL1 layout top layer.
