Function Description
This section explains how to implement the functions found on the AIF - PFC Series. All signals are on primary side.
PFC Enable Input (PF ENABLE)
The enable pin is a TTL compatible input used to turn the output of the module on or off.
For module with no suffix, the output is enabled when the PF ENABLE (pin 16) is open or driven to a logic high > 2.2V.
The output is disabled when the PF ENABLE is connected to S GND (pin 13) or driven to a logic low of < 0.8V (but not
negative).
For module with suffix “N”, the output is enabled when the PF ENABLE is connected to S GND or driven to a logic low <
0.8V (but not negative). The output is disabled when the PF ENABLE is open or driven to a logic high > 2.2V.

The S GND pin is connected to the internal common ground of the module. It is also internally connected to the –O/P
terminals.
NOTE:
When connecting S GND to external circuitry care must be taken to ensure that the current flowing through this pin is kept
below 25mA.

DC-DC Converter Module Enable Output (LD ENABLE)

LOW
Initially the load is disabled and the LD ENABLE (pin 15) is at 0.4V (LOW). When the PFC power up sequence has
completed, the LD ENABLE voltage goes HIGH. And the LD ENABLE will stay high as long as Vin is above 175Vac or
Vout is above 250V, even if PF_ENABLE is in disable mode. (Please see the application example section at P.25 for the
external circuit to interlock the LD-ENABLE from PF_ENABLE)
The LD ENABLE pin is capable of delivering 2.7mA at 1.5V when HIGH. See electrical specifications for exact figures.
Power Fail Warning
If output voltage can not be maintained at the pre-programmed PFW threshold voltage, the PFW (pin 14) will go from
HIGH to LOW.

Power Fail Warning Adjust
The level at which a Power Fail Warning occurs can be programmed using the PFW Adjust input (pin 12). If the pin is left
unconnected then the PFW operates at the default factory set value.
The output from the PFW ADJ pin is a 1mA current source. To adjust the PFW threshold, a voltage source (0 – 4Volts) or a
programming resistance (0 – 4Kohm) referenced to s S GND (pin 13) should be connected. This allows adjustment of the
PFW threshold from 280V up to 340V. The value of resistance or voltage required can be read from the graph above.
Clock Signals (CLK IN, CLK OUT)
The PFC’s internal clock is accurate and stable over its full operating range and synchronization is not normally required,
but it can reduce noise in paralleled systems.
Clock signals can be wired in series (the CLK OUT pin of one module to the CLK IN pin of the next etc) in which case all
the modules will be synchronized with the first module in the chain. Alternatively, an external clock signal of TTL level at
1MHz ± 10% can be connected to the CLK IN pins of all the modules.

If the clock input to any module fails, the module will automatically switch back to its internal clock and will continue to
operate at full power even in current sharing systems.. The CLK IN and CLK OUT signals are AC coupled.
Temperature Monitoring (TEMP MON)
The TEMP MON pin provides an indication of the module’s internal temperature. The voltage at the TEMP MON pin is
proportional to the temperature of the module baseplate at 10mV per °C, where:
Module temperature (°C) = (Vtemp mon X 100) - 273
The temperature monitor signal can be used by thermal management systems (e.g. to control a variable speed fan). It can
also be used for overtemperature warning circuits and for thermal design verification of prototype power supplies and
heatsink.

Input Undervoltage Protection
An input undervoltage protection circuit protects the module under low input voltage conditions. Hysteresis is built into the
PFC Series module to allow for high levels of variation on the input supply voltage without causing the module to cycle on
and off. PFC modules will operate when the input exceeds 85Vac and turn off below 63Vac.
Input Fusing
ASTEC modules do not have an in-line fuse fitted internally. In order to comply with CSA, VDE and UL safety regulations
it is recommended that a fuse of 250Vac, 15A be fitted at the module’s input.
Output Capacitor
The PFC requires an output hold-up capacitor of between 470uF and 3000uF to prevent the module from disabling due to
fluctuations in output voltage. Ideally the capacitor should be connected directly to the PFC output pins. If this is not
possible the connection must be less than 50mm from the pins.

Selecting an External Output Capacitor
The output capacitor value is determined by the following factors :
1. RMS ripple current.
2. Peak-to-peak output ripple voltage.
3. Hold-up time.
4. Expected lifetime of the capacitor.

RMS ripple current
The maximum permissible rms ripple current for the output capacitor should be greater than the rms ripple current for the
application. The ripple current for the PFC module can be approximated as
Irms = (PO/Eff) x 1/√(VO x Vrms)
where :
PO = output power (W)
Eff = efficiency
VO = output voltage (V)
Vrms = input rms voltage (V)
This gives the ripple current at 125KHz. The maximum ripple current for capacitors is usually specified at 120Hz. To
convert from 125KHz to 120Hz the Irms figure should be divided by 1.3 .
Peak to Peak Output Ripple Voltage
The ac input causes a ripple on the output voltage. The size of the ripple is inversely proportional to the size of the capacitor.
Therefore the maximum allowable ripple voltage should be decided in order to calculate the size of capacitor required. This
may be calculated using the following equation:
CO = PO / (2πf x Eff x VO x Vripple)
where :
CO = output capacitance (µF)
Eff = efficiency
f = input voltage frequency (Hz)
VO = output voltage (V)
Vripple = output ripple voltage (V)
Hold-Up Time Requirement
The output capacitor value is different for different hold-up time requirements. The minimum capacitance corresponding to
the required hold-up time of a system comprised of ASTEC DC/DC power modules and an PFC module can be calculated as
follows:
CO min = (2 x PO x Thold)/[(VO-Vripple)2 - (Vmin)2]
where :
CO min = output capacitance (µF)
PO = output power (W)
Thold = hold up time (sec)
VO = output voltage (V)
Vripple = output ripple voltage (V)
Vmin = minimum input voltage for DC/DC module

AIF - PFC Power Factor
Correction Series
For example:
A PFC module driving 3 AIF80A300 400W modules @ 5V. Efficiency of the AIF80A300 module is 88%, the minimum
input voltage is 250V, the output voltage of the PFC is 380V, the required hold-up time is 20mS and the peak-to-peak
voltage Vripple is chosen to be 16V.
CO min = 2 x (3 x 400/0.88) x 0.02 = 390µF (470 µF ± 20%)
[(380-16)2-2502]
This figure is the minimum capacitance. To allow for capacitor tolerances and aging effects the actual value should
generally be around 1.5 times greater.
PF & Load Enable Connections and Timing
The PFC module must be supplied with a PF ENABLE signal to initiate the start-up sequence. The output of the LD
ENABLE pin goes HIGH (ON) once the PFC has completed the start-up sequence.
It is recommended that the LD ENABLE signals is always used to enable the load, however, if the load is to be enabled
manually it is essential that the ton time has expired before enabling occurs.

Conducted EMI
The PFC modules will require additional EMI filtering to enable the system to meet relevant EMI standards.
PFC modules have an effective input to ground (baseplate) capacitance of 1600pF. This should be accounted for when
calculating the maximum EMI ‘Y’ capacitance to meet ground leakage current specifications. An example filter circuit is
shown below.

Model AIF04ZPFC-02L Parallel Operation
The AIF04ZPFC-02L has been specifically designed for paralleling applications where the total input current exceeds
16Arms. For stand-alone applications or those where the total input current does not exceed 16Arms the AIF04ZPFC-01L is
recommended.
The AIF04ZPFC-02L requires external negative rail rectifiers to be implemented at the input to the system. It is possible to
operate the AIF04ZPFC-02L as a stand-alone configuration although the external negative rail rectifiers must still be
provided.
Current Sharing
In multi-module paralleled systems, all modules will share current to within ± 10% of the average load current per module
when the C-SHARE pins of each module are connected together.

Interlock circuit between LD ENABLE and PF ENABLE (Continues from P.9, LD
ENABLE)
Initially the load is disabled and the LD ENABLE (pin 15) is at 0.4V (LOW). When the PFC power up sequence has
completed, the LD ENABLE voltage goes HIGH. And the LD ENABLE will stay high as long as Vin is above 175Vac or
Vout is above 250V, even if PF_ENABLE is in disable mode. If the application needs the LD_EN goes low when the
PF_EN is disable, please use the following interlock circuitry.
LD_EN goes low when PF_EN is set low (AIF04ZPFC-01L)
LD_EN goes low when PF_EN is set high (AIF04ZPFC-01NL)

Thermal Data
Natural convection thermal impedance of the PFC package without a heatsink is approximately 4°C/W.
A standard horizontal fin heatsink available from Astec (part number APA501-80-006) with 37mm fins and 8.8mm pitch,
will reduce module thermal impedance to 0.4°C /W with a forced air flow of 2.5 m/s (500 LFM) when mounted with a
thermal pad (ASTEC P/N APA502-80-001) between heatsink and module.
