SPDN Series COBRA SENSITRON SEMICONDUCTOR Product Brief 5038, Rev B COBRA Series Programmable Multi-Channel Solid State Power Controllers The Cobra Series of Programmable Multi-Channel Solid State Power Controllers (SSPC) are multi-channel, microcontroller based, Solid State Power Controller boards designed to for 28VDC applications. Each channel of the Cobra series is software programmable for rated current up to 25A and can operate grouped with other channels to support large loads up to 150A of current. The Cobra is intended to be used where multiple Solid State Power Controller channels need to be co-located on the same card or in a power distribution box. These boards have integrated current sensing, temperature and voltage sensing with no derating over the full operating temperature range and communicate with the system controller over an RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 or CAN serial bus. Features: • • • • • • • Up to 6 channels can be grouped together Programmable from 1 Amp to 25 Amps Parallel channel capability up to 150 amps Trip disable and maintenance modes Power-up and continuous built-in test Non-volatile storage of parameters True I2t and thermal memory protection • • • • • • • Internally generated isolated supply High control circuit isolation Soft turn-on to reduce EMC issues Trip-free reset circuit Optically isolated input and outputs -55oC to 100oC operating temp range No heat sinking required Benefits: Sensitron’s SSPC technology and products combine functionalities of electro-mechanical breakers, solid state relays and system monitors and provide the following benefits to our customers: • • • • • Electrical load protection and monitoring - current, voltage and temperature measurements Operational improvements by allowing for diagnostics, prognostics and condition-based maintenance Life cycle cost savings and reduced cost of ownership Increased radius of operation through power budgeting and load shedding Crew offloading and network-controlled intelligent load management Application Areas: Sensitron’s SSPC products are ideal for use in Power Management applications in the following markets: • • • • Military Ground Vehicles Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Marine Vessels Test & Industrial Equipment • • • • Communication and Command Centers Energy Exploration Equipment Off Highway and Heavy Duty Vehicles Medical Emergency Vehicles • Phone (631) 586 7600 • www.sensitron.com • E-Mail: [email protected] • Page 1 SPDN Series COBRA SENSITRON SEMICONDUCTOR Product Brief 5038, Rev B Figure 1 – Block Diagram I/O DEFINITIONS Control & Status (TTL/CMOS Compatible) 5.0V DC Nominal, 7.0V DC Absolute Maximum 4.5V to 5.5 VDC 105 mA typ 150 mA, max (RS-422/RS-485 Serial I/O) Voh=3.7V, min, at Ioh=-20mA Vol=0.4V, max, at Iol=20mA BIAS (Vcc) BIAS (Vcc) Current BIT* Output MAINTENANCE MODE and BATTLESHORT Inputs VT+ (Positive-going input threshold voltage) VT− (Negative-going input threshold voltage) ΔVT Hysteresis (VT+ VT−) Power Input Voltage – Continuous – Transient Power Dissipation – Single Channel1 Power Dissipation – Six Channels1 (Each channel at indicated current) Output Rise Time (turn-on) Output Fall Time under normal turn-off Output Fall Time under Fault Min Load Requirement 2.0V, min, 3.5V, max 1.2V, min, 2.3V, max 0.6V, min, 1.4V, max 0 to 40V DC, 50V DC Absolute Maximum +600V or –600V Spike (< 10 uS) < 0.68W typ @ 15A @ 25°C < 2.25W max @ 25A @ 25°C < 4.5W typ @ 15A @ 25°C < 15.0W max @ 25A @ 25°C 760 μsec typ, 500 μsec, min. 160 μsec typ, 100 μsec, min. 75 μsec typ Nil Table 1- Electrical Characteristics © 2009 Sensitron Semiconductor • Phone (631) 586 7600 • www.sensitron.com • [email protected] • Page 2 SPDN Series COBRA SENSITRON SEMICONDUCTOR Product Brief 5038, Rev B Figure 2 – Trip Times The Cobra Series board measures current for each individual channel and calculates I2t and Instant Trip. If the trip condition is met, the channel turns of 28VDC rails from the load. This condition is stored on the board and can be queried by the Power Management Computer (PMC) via the communications interface.
