Input power pins. +OUT, -OUT Output power pins. –Out also serves as reference for the secondaryreferenced control pins. EN (Enable) This pin enables and disables the DCM converter; when held low the unit will be disabled. It is referenced to the -OUT pin of the converter. EN is active only if VDDE is preapplied before VIN is applied. Otherwise, EN is inactive and will be ignored until VIN is removed and reapplied. n Output enable: When EN is allowed to pull up above the enable threshold, the module will be enabled. If leaving EN floating, it is pulled up to VCC and the module will be enabled. n Output disable: EN may be pulled down externally in order to disable the module. n EN is an input only, it does not pull low in the event of a fault. TR (Trim) The TR pin is used to select the trim mode and to trim the output voltage of the DCM converter. The TR pin has an internal pull-up to VCC. The DCM package will latch trim behavior at application of VIN (once VIN exceeds VIN-UVLO+), and persist in that same behavior until loss of input voltage. n At application of VIN, if TR is sampled at above VTRIM-DIS, the module will latch in a non-trim mode, and will ignore the TR input for as long as VIN is present. n At application of VIN, if TR is sampled at below VTRIM-EN, the TR will serve as an input to control the real time output voltage. It will persist in this behavior until VIN is no longer present. If trim is active when the DCM is operating, the TR pin provides dynamic trim control at a typical 250 Hz of -3dB bandwidth over the output voltage. TR also decreases the current limit threshold when trimming above VOUT-NOM. +SENSE, –SENSE These pins are Remote Sense pins, which allow the users to sense the voltage at the point of load so that the DCM can use the load voltage to regulate its output voltage accordingly. If “+SENSE” and “–SENSE” are floating, Local Sense is implemented automatically. However, when SENSE pins are floating, the regulation accuracy deteriorates (see "VOUT accuracy with Sense pin floating" on Page 5). To achieve maximum regulation accuracy, the SENSE pins should be used also for local sense operation, by connecting them directly to their respective OUT pins (+SENSE to +OUT and -SENSE to -OUT). Please note: For chassis mount models, Vicor part number 42550 will be needed for applications requiring the use of signal pins (Enable, Trim and Sense functions). The DCM converter provides a tightly regulated output voltage. With trim inactive (TR pin floating), regulation accuracy is within 1.0% of the setpoint for all line conditions and for any load above 10% of the rated load. With trim active, regulation accuracy is within 2.0% for all line conditions and for any load condition above 10% of the rated load. The DCM3414x50M06A8yzz is designed to be used in applications where the output power requirements are up to 180 W. Soft Start When the DCM starts, it will go through a soft start. The soft start routine ramps the output voltage by modulating the internal error amplifier reference. This causes the output voltage to approximate a piecewise linear ramp. The output ramp finishes when the voltage reaches either the nominal output voltage, or the trimmed output voltage in cases where trim mode is active. During soft-start, the maximum load current capability is reduced. Until Vout achieves at least VOUT-FL-THRESH, the output current must be less than IOUT-START in order to guarantee startup. Note that this is current available to the load, above that which is required to charge the output capacitor. Trim Mode and Output Trim Control When the input voltage is initially applied to a DCM, and after tINIT elapses, the trim pin voltage VTR is sampled. The TR pin has an internal pull up resistor to VCC, so unless external circuitry pulls the pin voltage lower, it will pull up to VCC. If the initially sampled trim pin voltage is higher than VTRIM-DIS, then the DCM will disable trimming as long as the VIN remains applied. In this case, for all subsequent operation the output voltage will be programmed to the nominal. This minimizes the support components required for applications that only require the nominal rated VOUT, and also provides the best output setpoint accuracy, as there are no additional errors from external trim components. If at initial application of VIN, the TR pin voltage is prevented from exceeding VTRIM-EN, then the DCM will activate trim mode, and it will remain active for as long as VIN is applied. VOUT set point can be calculated using the equation below: VOUT-TRIMMING = 2.750 + (3.130 • VTR/VCC) (1) Note that the trim mode is not changed when a DCM recovers from any fault condition or being disabled. Module performance is guaranteed through output voltage trim range VOUT-TRIMMING. If VOUT is trimmed above this range, then certain combinations of line and load transient conditions may trigger the output OVP. Output Current Limit The DCM features a fully operational current limit which effectively keeps the module operating inside the Safe Operating Area (SOA) for all valid trim and load profiles. The current limit approximates a “brick wall” limit, where the output current is DCM™ in a VIA Package Rev 1.1 vicorpower.com Page 16 of 22 08/2016 800 927.9474 DCM3414x50M06A8yzz prevented from exceeding the current limit threshold by reducing the output voltage via the internal error amplifier reference. The current limit threshold at nominal trim and below is typically 120% of rated output current, but it can vary between 100% to 135%. In order to preserve the SOA, when the converter is trimmed above the nominal output voltage, the current limit threshold is automatically reduced to limit the available output power. When the output current exceeds the current limit threshold, current limit action is held off by 1ms, which permits the DCM to momentarily deliver higher peak output currents to the load. Peak output power during this time is still constrained by the internal Power Limit of the module. The fast Power Limit and relatively slow Current Limit work together to keep the module inside the SOA. Delaying entry into current limit also permits the DCM to minimize droop voltage for load steps. Sustained operation in current limit is permitted, and no derating of output power is required. Current limit can reduce the output voltage to as little as the UVP threshold (VOUT-UVP). Below this minimum output voltage compliance level, further loading will cause the module to shut down due to the output undervoltage fault protection. Line Impedance, Input Slew rate and Input Stability Requirements Connect a high-quality, low-noise power supply to the +IN and –IN terminals. Additional capacitance may have to be added between +IN and –IN to make up for impedances in the interconnect cables as well as deficiencies in the source. Excessive source impedance can bring about system stability issues for a regulated DC-DC converter, and must either be avoided or compensated. A 1000 µF input capacitor is the minimum recommended in case the source impedance is insufficient to satisfy stability requirements. Additional information can be found in the filter design application note: www.vicorpower.com/documents/application_notes/vichip_appnote23.pdf Please refer to this input filter design tool to ensure input stability: http://app2.vicorpower.com/filterDesign/intiFilter.do. Ensure that the input voltage slew rate is less than 1V/us, otherwise a pre-charge circuit is required for the DCM input to control the input voltage slew rate and prevent overstress to input stage components. Input Fuse Selection The DCM is not internally fused in order to provide flexibility in configuring power systems. Input line fusing is recommended at the 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: n Current rating (usually greater than the DCM converter’s maximum current) n Maximum voltage rating (usually greater than the maximum possible input voltage) n Ambient temperature n Breaking capacity per application requirements n Nominal melting I2t n Recommended fuse: See Agency Approvals for Recommended Fuse Fault Handling Input Undervoltage Fault Protection (UVLO) The converter’s input voltage is monitored to detect an input under voltage condition. If the converter is not already running, then it will ignore enable commands until the input voltage is greater than VIN-UVLO+. If the converter is running and the input voltage falls below VIN-UVLO-, the converter recognizes a fault condition, the powertrain stops switching, and the output voltage of the unit falls. Input voltage transients which fall below UVLO for less than tUVLO may not be detected by the fault protection logic, in which case the converter will continue regular operation. No protection is required in this case. Once the UVLO fault is detected by the fault protection logic, the converter shuts down and waits for the input voltage to rise above VIN-UVLO+. Provided the converter is still enabled, it will then restart. Input Overvoltage Fault Protection (OVLO) The converter’s input voltage is monitored to detect an input over voltage condition. When the input voltage is more than the VIN-OVLO+, a fault is detected, the powertrain stops switching, and the output voltage of the converter falls. After an OVLO fault occurs, the converter will wait for the input voltage to fall below VIN-OVLO-. Provided the converter is still enabled, the powertrain will restart. The powertrain controller itself also monitors the input voltage. Transient OVLO events which have not yet been detected by the fault sequence logic may first be detected by the controller if the input slew rate is sufficiently large. In this case, powertrain switching will immediately stop. If the input voltage falls back in range before the fault sequence logic detects the out of range condition, the powertrain will resume switching and the fault logic will not interrupt operation. Regardless of whether the powertrain is running at the time or not, if the input voltage does not recover from OVLO before tOVLO, the converter fault logic will detect the fault. Output Undervoltage Fault Protection (UVP) The converter determines that an output overload or short circuit condition exists by measuring its output voltage and the output of the internal error amplifier. In general, whenever the powertrain is switching and the output voltage falls below VOUT-UVP threshold, a short circuit fault will be registered. Once an output undervoltage condition is detected, the powertrain immediately stops switching, and the output voltage of the converter falls. The converter remains disabled for a time tFAULT. Once recovered and provided the converter is still enabled, the powertrain will again enter the soft start sequence after tINIT and tON. Temperature Fault Protections (OTP) The fault logic monitors the internal temperature of the converter. If the measured temperature exceeds TINT-OTP, a temperature fault is registered. As with the under voltage fault protection, once a temperature fault is registered, the powertrain immediately stops switching, the output voltage of the converter falls, and the converter remains disabled for at least time tFAULT. Then, the converter waits for the internal temperature to return to below TINT-OTP before recovering. Provided the converter is still enabled, the DCM will restart after tINIT and tON. http://www.vicorpower.com DCM™ in a VIA Package Rev 1.1 vicorpower.com Page 17 of 22 08/2016 800 927.9474 DCM3414x50M06A8yzz Output Overvoltage Fault Protection (OVP) The converter monitors the output voltage during each switching cycle. If the output voltage exceeds VOUT-OVP, the OVP fault protection is triggered. The control logic disables the powertrain, and the output voltage of the converter falls. n Single side cooling: the model of Figure 18 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 19. This type of fault is latched, and the converter will not start again until the latch is cleared. Clearing the fault latch is achieved by either disabling the converter via the EN pin, or else by removing the input power such that the input voltage falls below VIN-INIT. RJC However some DCM models require an increase to the minimum external output capacitor value in certain loading condition. In applications where the load can go below 10% of rated load, the range of output capacitor required is given by COUT-EXT-TRANSIENT in the Electrical Specifications table. 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 DCM in a VIA package, as can be seen from specified thermal operating area on Page 4. Since the VIA package 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 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 18 shows the “thermal circuit” for the VIA package. + RJC_TOP TC_TOP – RHOU – PDISS RJC_BOT s + TC_BOT – External Output Capacitance The DCM converter internal compensation requires a minimum external output capacitor. An external capacitor in the range of 1000 to 20000 µF with ESR of 10 mΩ is required for control loop compensation purposes. s PDISS s Figure 19 – 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 n Double side cooling: while this option might bring limited advantage to the module internal components (given the surface-to-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. Grounding Considerations The chassis of the VIA package 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). TC_BOT + s Figure 18 – 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 package and the top and bottom surface temperatures are represented as TC_TOP, and TC_BOT. It is 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: DCM™ in a VIA Package Rev 1.1 vicorpower.com Page 18 of 22 08/2016 800 927.9474 DCM™ in a VIA Package Rev 1.1 vicorpower.com Page 19 of 22 08/2016 800 927.9474 .11 2.90 .947±.010 24.058±.254 .112±.010 2.846±.254 1.171 29.750 .080 2.032 (2) PL. .37±.015 9.30±.381 2 1 DIM 'D' ±.010 [.254] DIM 'G' ±.010 [.254] .182 [4.613] .103 [2.607] BOTTOM VEW 11 10 LONG DIM 'L' DIM 'C' DIM 'E' TOP VIEW DIM 'B' (COMPONENT SIDE) SHORT DIM 'F' ±.010 [.254] DIM 'A' 13 12 4 3 0 .15 3.86 (4) PL. .067 1.700 .452±.010 11.475±.254 .150 3.810 (2) PL. .025 .635 (5) PL. .156 3.970 5 6 7 8 9 .947±.003 24.058±.076 .859±.010 21.810±.254 .268 6.800 .201 5.100 .134 3.400 SEATING PLANE DIM 'L' ±.010 [.254] 1.171±.003 29.750±.076 .112±.003 2.846±.076 .120±.003 3.048±.076 PLATED THRU .030 [.762] ANNULAR RING (2) PL 1 2 12 3 4 1.40 35.54 1.59 [40.34] 1.61 [40.93] 2.17 [55.15] 1.61 [40.93] 4914 (2 STAGE) 6123 5614 (1 STAGE) 9223 1.61 [40.93] 3414 (1 STAGE) 3623 4414 (1 STAGE) 6123 3714 (1 STAGE) 4623 1.59 [40.34] 1.13 [28.70] 2814 (1 STAGE) 2223 2914 (0 STAGE) 3623 DIM 'A' 1.13 [28.70] PRODUCT NA NA DIM 'B' 2.970 [75.445] 1.757 [44.625] 1.757 [44.625] 1.150 [29.200] .811 [20.593] .811 [20.593] .067±.003 1.700±.076 .452±.003 11.475±.076 2414 (0 STAGE) 2223 RECOMMENDED HOLE PATTERN (COMPONENT SIDE) DIM 'D'' ±.003 [.076] 10 13 SEE DETAIL A DIM 'B'' ±.003 [.076] 11 DIM 'G'' ±.003 [.076] .172±.003 4.369±.076 PLATED THRU .064 [1.626] ANNULAR RING (4) PL.
