Refer to the CALEX Application Notes for the definition of terms, measurement circuits and other information. Noise is measured per CALEX application notes. Measurement bandwidth is 0-20 MHz. RMS noise is measured over a 0.01-1 MHz bandwidth. To simulate standard PCB decoupling practices, output noise is measured with a 10µf tantalum and 0.01µF ceramic capacitor located 1 inch away from the converter. Input ripple is measured into a 10µH source impedance. See our application note for picking the correct fuse size. Transient response is specified for a 50 to 75% step load change. Rise time of step is 2 microseconds. Dynamic response is the peak overshoot for a transient as described in note 3. 2401 Stanwell Drive • Concord, California 94520 • Ph: 925/687-4411 or 800/542-3355 • Fax: 925/687-3333 • www.calex.com • Email: [email protected] 2 3/2001 45 Watt XT Single Series DC/DC Converters General Specifications* All Models ON/OFF Function ON Logic Level or Leave Pin Open OFF Logic Level or Tie Pin to -Input Open Circuit Voltage Input Resistance Converter Idle Current ON/OFF Pin Low Isolation Isolation Voltage Input to Output, 24S Input to Output, 48V 10µA Leakage Input to Output Capacitance Output Trim Function Trim Range Input Resistance Open Circuit Voltage Units MIN 4 VDC MAX 1.5 VDC TYP TYP 5 6 VDC kohms TYP 7 mA MIN MIN 700 1544 VDC TYP 500 pF MIN MIN TYP ±10 10 2.5 % kohms VDC MIN MAX MIN MAX MIN MAX -40 85 -55 90 -55 100 °C TYP 100 °C TYP TYP 4.4 7 °C/Watt oz BOTTOM VIEW SIDE VIEW Mechanical tolerances unless otherwise noted: X.XX dimensions: ±0.020 inches X.XXX dimensions: ±0.005 inches Environmental Case Operating Range Case Functional Range (6) Storage Range Thermal Shutdown Case Temperature Thermal Impedance (7) Unit Weight Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 °C °C Function +INPUT -INPUT +SENSE TRIM -SENSE +OUTPUT CMN ON/OFF Mounting Options MS9 Chassis Mounting Kit -I Suffix on Part Number -HS Suffix on Part Number Inserts In Case Heat Sink Option Noise has also achieved new lows in this single design, while the industry standard is to specify output noise as 1 to 5% peak to peak typical with no mention of measurement bandwidth. The XT converters achieve 50 mV peak to peak typical and are fully specified and tested to a wide bandwidth of 0-20 MHz. A Application Information You truly get what you pay for in a CALEX converter, a complete system oriented and specified DC/DC converter no surprises, no external noise filtering circuits needed, no heatsinking problems, just “plug and play”. The 45 watt XT Single series like all CALEX converters carries the full 5 year CALEX no hassle warranty. We can offer a five year warranty where others can’t because with CALEX it’s rarely needed. Input filtering reduces reflected ripple noise and is similarly low and also fully specified for typical values (exact value depends on input voltage range). Typical RMS noise over a 10 kHz to 1 MHz bandwidth is specified for both the input and output. Keep reading, you’ll find out why. Full overload protection is provided by independent pulseby-pulse current limiting and an over-temperature shutdown circuit. These protection features assure you that our XT single will provide you with zero failure rate operation. General Information The XT Single series is mindful of battery operation for industrial, medical control and remote data collection applications. The remote ON/OFF pin places the converter in a very low power mode that draws typically less than 10 mA from the input source. Five sided shielding is standard along with specified operation over the full industrial temperature range of -40 to +85°C case temperature. 2401 Stanwell Drive • Concord, California 94520 • Ph: 925/687-4411 or 800/542-3355 • Fax: 925/687-3333 • www.calex.com • Email: [email protected] 3 3/2001 45 Watt XT Single Series DC/DC Converters Applying the Input Figure 1 shows the recommended input connections for the XT Single DC/DC converter. A fuse is recommended to protect the input circuit and should not be omitted. The fuse serves to prevent unlimited current from flowing in the case of a catastrophic system failure. Figure 2. The simplified schematic of the XT Single series ON/OFF pin. The input impedance is approximately 6k ohms. By leaving this pin floating the converter will be in the ON state. When the pin is pulled below 1.4 volts (with respect to the -Input pin) the converter is placed in the power down or OFF state. See our application note on the remote ON/OFF function for more information. Applying The Output Figure 3 shows typical output connections for the XT single. In most applications no external output capacitance will be necessarily. Only your normal 1 to 10 µF and 0.001 to 0.1 µF bypass capacitors sprinkled around your circuit as needed locally are required. Do not add extra output capacitance and cost to your circuit “Just Because”. Figure 1. Standard connections for the XT single input. The ON/OFF pin may be left floating if it is not used. The input protection fuse should not be omitted. If desired, an external transient protection diode (D1) can be used at the input. See “Applying the input” for suggestions regarding C1. If you feel you must add external output capacitance, do not use the lowest ESR, biggest value capacitor that you can find! This can only lead to reduced system performance or oscillation. See our application note “Understanding Output Impedance For Optimum Decoupling” for more information. No external capacitance on the input is required for normal operation, in fact it can degrade the converters performance. Extremely low ESR capacitors (< 0.5 ohms) should not be used at the input as this will cause peaking of the input filters transfer function and actually degrade the filters performance. Normal RF bypass capacitors in the 1000 pF to 0.01 µF range may be used without harm. Remote ON/OFF Pin Operation A The remote ON/OFF pin may be left floating if this function is not used. The equivalent input circuit for the ON/OFF pin is shown in figure 2. The best way to drive this pin is with an open collector/drain or relay contact. See our application note titled “Understanding the remote ON/OFF function” for more information about using the remote ON/OFF pin. When the ON/OFF pin is pulled low with respect to the Input, the converter is placed in a low power drain state. The ON/OFF pin turns the converter off while keeping the input bulk capacitor fully charged, this prevents the large inrush current spike that occurs when the +input pin is opened and closed. Figure 3. The remote sense lines should be connected to their respective output pins even if they are not used in your application. If desired, an external transient protection diode can be used. D2 and D3 are optional, for more information see the “Remote sense” section. 2401 Stanwell Drive • Concord, California 94520 • Ph: 925/687-4411 or 800/542-3355 • Fax: 925/687-3333 • www.calex.com • Email: [email protected] 4 3/2001 45 Watt XT Single Series DC/DC Converters Remote Sense Non Standard Output Voltages The XT single features provisions for remote sense connections. These allow the power supply to correct for line drops of up to 0.6 volts per side. The remote sense connections should be made with twisted pair wire or closely coupled PCB traces. If the remote sense is not to be used these pins must be connected to their respective output pins for proper output voltage accuracy and regulation. There is approximately 2 mA of current flowing in the remote sense lines. The 12 and 15 volt XT’s will typically trim much lower than the -10% specified. This allows the 12 and 15 volt XT’s to be trimmed lower than specified for RF or other special applications. The 12 volt XT’s can be typically trimmed over a range of 8.6 to 13.3 volts. The 15 volt XT’s can be typically trimmed over a range of 9.8 to 16.8 volts. Down trim actually can reduce the minimum input voltage in some circuits. Full up trim may not be achievable at minimum input voltage and full rated load. Care should be taken to not disconnect the output pins before the remote sense pins while the converter is in operation. If this happens the output load current will run down the sense leads possibly causing an output overvoltage condition. If the unit must be “Hot Plugged” in the intended application, provision should be made to disconnect the sense leads before the power leads, disconnect the input power first or use the remote ON/OFF to stop the converters operation. The maximum current available does not increase from the listed maximum under low trim conditions. Ultra Low Noise Output Circuit The circuit shown in figure 5 can be used to reduce the output noise to below 10 mV P-P over a 20 MHz bandwidth. Size inductor L1 appropriately for the maximum expected load current. The remote sense lines should be looped back directly to the output pins to prevent feedback loop oscillation due to the filters extra phase shift. Another option is to attach two 1N4001 diodes from pins 6 to 3 and pins 7 to 5 as shown in figure 3. These diodes will shunt any current through the 10 ohm internal resistors connected between the outputs and their respective outputs when the voltage drop across the resistors exceeds approximately 0.6 volts. This will limit momentary overvoltages to about 1.2 volts during a hot plug-in. Output Trimming The trim pin may be used to adjust the outputs by up to ±10 % from the nominal factory setting. The trim may be used to adjust for system wiring voltage drops or to adjust the +5 output up to 5.2 volts for ECL applications. Figure 4 shows the proper connections to use the trim pin. If output trimming is not desired the trim pin may be safely left floating. Trimming the output up reduces the output current proportionally to keep the maximum power constant. Output current is not increased over the listed maximum when trimming the output voltage down. C1, C3 - 220µF, 25V UNITED CHEM-CON LXF SERIES C2 - 0.01µF, 100V CERAMIC L1 - 5µH POWER INDUCTOR Figure 5. For very low noise applications this circuit will reduce the output noise to less than 10 mV P-P over a 0-20 MHz bandwidth. Be sure to size the inductor appropriately for the maximum expected load current. A Operation With Light Loads At output loads less than specified minimum, the XT single will operate in a “Burst Mode”. That is the XT will cease PWM operation and instead operate in more of a burst mode. This mode significantly reduces the light load input current to the XT single. Under these conditions the output of the XT will contain a larger than normal (compared to full load) output noise, but at a lower frequency. If this is a problem in your application the XT single may be used with a dummy load resistor to keep the static output current above the specified mimimum load. Figure 4. The output can be trimmed by either a trimpot or fixed resistors. If fixed resistors are used their values may range from 0 to infinite ohms. The trimpot should be 10k ohms for 3.3 and 5 volt outputs or 20k ohms for 12 and 15 volt outputs. 2401 Stanwell Drive • Concord, California 94520 • Ph: 925/687-4411 or 800/542-3355 • Fax: 925/687-3333 • www.calex.com • Email: [email protected] 5 3/2001 45 Watt XT Single Series DC/DC Converters This will help to dampen the low frequency output ripple without upsetting the dynamic operation of the XT. For more information see our application note on “Understanding DC/ DC Converters Output Impedance”. For example: If an XT converter is outputting 35 watts, at what ambient could it expect to run with no moving air and no extra heatsinking? Efficiency is approximately 80%, this leads to an input power of 44 watts. The case temperature rise would be 9 watts × 4.4 = 40°C. This number is subtracted from the maximum case temperature of 85°C to get: 45°C. Another solution to the “No Load” condition is to use the ON/OFF pin to control no load operation and shut the converter down totally. Dynamic response of the XT single will degrade when the unit is operated with less than 25% of full rated power. This example calculation is for an XT single without any extra heat sinking or appreciable air flow. Both of these factors can greatly effect the maximum ambient temperature (see below). Exact efficiency depends on input line and load conditions, check the efficiency curves for exact information. Grounding The input and output sections are fully floating from each other. They may be operated fully floating or with a common ground. If the input and output sections are connected either directly at the converter or at some remote location from the converter it is suggested that a 3.3 to 10 µF, 0.5 to 5 ohm ESR capacitor bypass be used directly at the converter output pins. This capacitor prevents any common mode switching currents from showing up at the converters output as normal mode output noise. See “Applying the Output” for more information. This is a rough approximation to the maximum ambient temperature. Because of the difficulty of defining ambient temperature and the possibility that the loads dissipation may actually increase the local ambient temperature significantly, these calculations should be verified by actual measurement before committing to a production design. Heat Sinking The XT Single can be ordered in a “-I” configuration which provides a case with 3 x M3 inserts located on the top surface of the case for attaching a heat sink or mounting the converter on it’s back using the inserts provided. The mounting surface should be flat to within ±0.01 inches to prevent warping the XT Single’s case. Another “Trick” that can be used when operating with a common ground is to use a 10 to 100 µH choke between the grounds. This gives you a solid low frequency ground connection, but looks like a high impedance to the switching current effects and prevents them from flowing in the connection. This will have the effect of preventing the common mode currents from showing up as normal mode components in your input or output circuits. The CALEX -HS heat sink was specially developed for this model and can reduce the case temperature rise to typically below 3.3°C per watt with natural convection and less with moving air. It also increases the heat removing efficiency of any cooling air flow. Be sure that the inductor has a self resonant frequency of greater than 200 kHz and that the Q of the inductor is quite low. If necessary to keep the inductor Q under control, parallel it with a 200 to 1k ohm resistor. When the XT single is ordered with a -I option and a -HS, CALEX will ship the converter and heatsink attached. One heat sink is needed for each converter ordered. Case Grounding Customer installed heat sinks may also be used. It is recommended that either liquid heatsink compound or nothing be used on the heatsink interface. Stay away from the so called “Dry” pad heat sink materials, in our experience these materials are actually worse than no compound at all. Test them thoroughly before committing to production. The copper case serves not only as a heat sink but also as a EMI shield. The .025 inch thick case provides >30 dB of absorption loss to both electric and magnetic fields at 220 kHz, while at the same time providing 20 to 40 % better heat sinking over competitive thin steel, aluminum or plastic designs. A The case shield is tied to the -Input pin. This connection is shown on the block diagram. The case is floating from the output sections. The input is coupled to the outputs only by the low 500 pF of isolation capacitance. This low I/O capacitance insures that any AC common mode noise on the inputs is not coupled to your output circuits. Additional heatsinking will lower internal temperatures and increase the expected operational life. Mounting Kit The MS9 chassis mounting kit allows for direct wire connection to the XT single series pins. The mounting kit includes two barrier strips for wire attachment. The MS9 may be conveniently attached to a chassis by use of the 4 - 0.156 inch diameter mounting holes provided at each corner. Compare this isolation to the more usual 1000 - 2000 pF found on competitive designs and you will see that CALEX provides the very best DC and AC isolation available. After all, you are buying an isolated DC/DC to cut ground loops. Don’t let the isolation capacitance add them back in. Although the MS9 comes with solderless sockets, for improved reliability in severe environmental or vibration environments it is recommended that the XT Single be soldered to the mounting kit. Temperature Derating The XT Single series can operate up to 85°C case temperature without derating. Case temperature may be roughly calculated from ambient by knowing that the XT Singles case temperature rise is approximately 4.4°C per package watt dissipated. 2401 Stanwell Drive • Concord, California 94520 • Ph: 925/687-4411 or 800/542-3355 • Fax: 925/687-3333 • www.calex.com • Email: [email protected] 6 3/2001 45 Watt XT Single Series DC/DC Converters Typical Performance (Tc=25°C, Vin=Nom VDC, Rated Load). 24 VOLT EFFICIENCY Vs.
