The EBVW020A0B series operate from an input voltage range of 36 to 75Vdc, and provide up to 20A output current at output voltages from 6.0Vdc to 12.0Vdc, and 240W output power from output voltages of 12.1Vdc to 13.2Vdc in a DOSA standard eighth brick. The converter incorporates digital control, synchronous rectification technology, and innovative packaging techniques to achieve efficiency reaching 95.4% peak at 12Vdc output. This leads to lower power dissipations such that for many applications a heat sink is not required. Standard features include on/off control, output overcurrent and over voltage protection, over temperature protection, input under and over voltage lockout. Optional features include output voltage remote sense and trim from 6.0Vdc to 13.2Vdc, passive droop paralleling, and base plate for heat sink or cold wall applications. The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. Built-in filtering for both input and output minimizes the need for external filtering. * Trademark of General Electric Company # UL is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. † CSA is a registered trademark of Canadian Standards Association. ‡ VDE is a trademark of Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker e.V. § This product is intended for integration into end-user equipment .

To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included, however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this Data Sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used.

Page 6 GE Data Sheet EBVW020A0B Barracuda Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules 36-75Vdc Input; 12.0Vdc, 20.0A, 240W Output Test Configurations Design Considerations Input Source Impedance The power module should be connected to a low ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source impedance can affect the stability of the power module. For the test configuration in Figure 12, a 220μF electrolytic capacitor, Cin, (ESR<0.7 at 100kHz), mounted close to the power module helps ensure the stability of the unit. If the module is subjected to rapid on/off cycles, a 330μF input capacitor is required. Consult the factory for further application guidelines. Safety Considerations Note: Measure input reflected-ripple current with a simulated source inductance (LTEST) of 12 µH. Capacitor CS offsets possible battery impedance. Measure current as shown above. Figure 12. Input Reflected Ripple Current Test Setup. For safety-agency approval of the system in which the power module is used, the power module must be installed in compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of the end-use safety agency standard, i.e., UL60950-1 2nd Ed., CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1 2nd Ed., and VDE0805-1 EN60950-1 2nd Ed. If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to 75Vdc), for the module’s output to be considered as meeting the requirements for safety extra-low voltage (SELV), all of the following must be true: Note: Use a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF aluminum or tantalum capacitor. Scope measurement should be made using a BNC socket. Position the load between 51 mm and 76 mm (2 in. and 3 in.) from the module. Figure 13. Output Ripple and Noise Test Setup. CONTACT AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSES VI(+) VO1 IO II LOAD SUPPLY VI(–) VO2 CONTACT RESISTANCE Note: All measurements are taken at the module terminals. When socketing, place Kelvin connections at module terminals to avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance. The input source is to be provided with reinforced insulation from any other hazardous voltages, including the ac mains. One VIN pin and one VOUT pin are to be grounded, or both the input and output pins are to be kept floating. The input pins of the module are not operator accessible. Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the whole system (combination of supply source and subject module), as required by the safety agencies, to verify that under a single fault, hazardous voltages do not appear at the module’s output. Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the module without grounding one of the output pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to appear between the output pins and ground. The power module has safety extra-low voltage (SELV) outputs when all inputs are SELV. The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 15 A fast-acting (or time-delay) fuse in the unearthed lead. The power module has internally generated voltages exceeding safety extra-low voltage. Consideration should be taken to restrict operator accessibility. Figure 14.

If the overcurrent condition causes the output voltage to fall greater than 4.0V from Vo,set, the module will shut down and remain latched off. The overcurrent latch is reset by either cycling the input power or by toggling the on/off pin for one second. If the output overload condition still exists when the module restarts, it will shut down again. This operation will continue indefinitely until the overcurrent condition is corrected. A factory configured auto-restart option (with overcurrent and overvoltage auto-restart managed as a group) is also available. An auto-restart feature continually attempts to restore the operation until fault condition is cleared. overvoltage latch is reset by either cycling the input power, or by toggling the on/off pin for one second. If the output overvoltage condition still exists when the module restarts, it will shut down again. This operation will continue indefinitely until the overvoltage condition is corrected. A factory configured auto-restart option (with overcurrent and overvoltage auto-restart managed as a group) is also available. An auto-restart feature continually attempts to restore the operation until fault condition is cleared. Overtemperature Protection These modules feature an overtemperature protection circuit to safeguard against thermal damage. The circuit shuts down the module when the maximum device reference temperature is exceeded. The module will automatically restart once the reference temperature cools by ~25°C. Input Under/Over voltage Lockout At input voltages above or below the input under/over voltage lockout limits, module operation is disabled. The module will begin to operate when the input voltage level changes to within the under and overvoltage lockout limits. Remote On/Off The module contains a standard on/off control circuit reference to the VIN(-) terminal. Two factory configured remote on/off logic options are available. Positive logic remote on/off turns the Load Sharing module on during a logic-high voltage on the ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low. Negative logic remote on/off turns the For higher power requirements, the EBVW020A0 power module module off during a logic high, and on during a logic low. offers an optional feature for parallel operation (-P Option code). Negative logic, device code suffix "1," is the factory-preferred This feature provides a precise forced output voltage load configuration. The On/Off circuit is powered from an internal regulation droop characteristic. The output set point and droop bias supply, derived from the input voltage terminals. To turn slope are factory calibrated to insure optimum matching of the power module on and off, the user must supply a switch to multiple modules’ load regulation characteristics. To implement control the voltage between the On/Off terminal and the VIN(-) load sharing, the following requirements should be followed: terminal (Von/off). The switch can be an open collector or The VOUT(+) and VOUT(-) pins of all parallel modules must be equivalent (see Figure 15). A logic low is Von/off = -0.3V to 0.8V. connected together. Balance the trace resistance for each The typical Ion/off during a logic low (Vin=48V, On/Off module’s path to the output power planes, to insure best load Terminal=0.3V) is 147µA. The switch should maintain a logic-low sharing and operating temperature balance. voltage while sinking 310µA. During a logic high, the maximum VIN must remain between 40Vdc and 75Vdc for droop sharing Von/off generated by the power module is 8.2V. The maximum to be functional. allowable leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 2.0V is 10µA. It is permissible to use a common Remote On/Off signal to If using an external voltage source, the maximum voltage Von/off start all modules in parallel. on the pin is 14.5V with respect to the VIN(-) terminal. These modules contain means to block reverse current flow If not using the remote on/off feature, perform one of the upon start-up, when output voltage is present from other following to turn the unit on: parallel modules, thus eliminating the requirement for external output ORing devices. Modules with the –P option For negative logic, short ON/OFF pin to VIN(-). will self determine the presence of voltage on the output For positive logic: leave ON/OFF pin open. from other operating modules, and automatically increase its Turn On delay, Tdelay, as specified in the Feature Specifications Table. When parallel modules startup into a pre-biased output, e.g. partially discharged output capacitance, the Trise is automatically increased, as specified in the Feature Specifications Table, to insure graceful startup. Insure that the load is <50% IO,MAX (for a single module) until all parallel modules have started (load full start > module Tdelay time max + Trise time). If fault tolerance is desired in parallel applications, output Figure 15. Remote On/Off Implementation. ORing devices should be used to prevent a single module Output Overvoltage Protection failure from collapsing the load bus. The module contains circuitry to detect and respond to output overvoltage conditions. If the overvoltage condition causes the output voltage to rise above the limit in the Specifications Table, the module will shut down and remain latched off.

Trim, Output Voltage Programming Trimming allows the output voltage set point to be increased or decreased; this is accomplished by connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and either the VO(+) pin or the VO() pin. VO(+) Rtrim-up EBVW020A0B 100 For example, to trim-up the output voltage of the module by 5% to 12.6V, Rtrim-up is calculated is as follows: SENSE(+) VI(+) 100 For example, to trim-down the output voltage of the module by 20% to 9.6V, Rtrim-down is calculated as follows: [VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] 0.5 V Although the output voltage can be increased by both the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. 511 10 . 22 % LOAD T/C1 Rtrim-down VO(-) The voltage between the Vo(+) and Vo(–) terminals must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage protection value shown in the Feature Specifications table. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-point adjustment trim. Although the output voltage can be increased by both the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same output current would increase the power output of the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power (Maximum rated power = VO,set x IO,max). Thermal Considerations Figure 17. Circuit Configuration to Trim Output Voltage. Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between the T/C1 pin and the Vo(-) (or Sense(-)) pin decreases the output voltage set point. To maintain set point accuracy, the trim resistor tolerance should be ±1.0%. The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage change of ∆% July 22, 2013 The power modules operate in a variety of thermal environments and sufficient cooling should be provided to help ensure reliable operation. Thermal considerations include ambient temperature, airflow, module power dissipation, and the need for increased reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of the module will result in an increase in reliability. ©2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 9 GE Data Sheet EBVW020A0B Barracuda Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules 36-75Vdc Input; 12.0Vdc, 20.0A, 240W Output Feature Descriptions (continued) The thermal data presented here is based on physical measurements taken in a wind tunnel, using automated thermo-couple instrumentation to monitor key component temperatures: FETs, diodes, control ICs, magnetic cores, ceramic capacitors, opto-isolators, and module pwb conductors, while controlling the ambient airflow rate and temperature. For a given airflow and ambient temperature, the module output power is increased, until one (or more) of the components reaches its maximum derated operating temperature, as defined in IPC-9592. This procedure is then repeated for a different airflow or ambient temperature until a family of module output derating curves is obtained. Figure 19. Location of the thermal reference temperature TH2 for Base Plate module. Do not exceed 110 °C. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power for the module as listed in the Ordering Information table. Although the maximum temperature of the power modules is THx, you can limit this temperature to a lower value for extremely high reliability. Please refer to the Application Note “Thermal Characterization Process For Open-Frame Board-Mounted Power Modules” for a detailed discussion of thermal aspects including maximum device temperatures. Heat Transfer via Convection Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat transfer via convection. The thermal derating of figures 20 through 22 show the maximum output current that can be delivered by each module in the indicated orientation without exceeding the maximum THx temperature versus local ambient temperature (TA) for air flows of, Natural Convection, 1 m/s (200 ft./min), 2 m/s (400 ft./min). Heat-dissipating components are mounted on the top side of the module. Heat is removed by conduction, convection and radiation to the surrounding environment. Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the thermal reference temperature (THx). Peak temperature (THx) occurs at the position indicated in Figure 18 and 19. For reliable operation this temperature should not exceed the listed temperature threshold. The use of Figures 20 is shown in the following example: Example What is the minimum airflow necessary for a EBVW020A0B operating at VI = 48 V, an output current of 14A, and a maximum ambient temperature of 70 °C in transverse orientation.

The wave preheat process should be such that the temperature of the power module board is kept below 210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is 270C max. Not all RoHScompliant through-hole products can be processed with pastethrough-hole Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information is needed, please consult with your GE representative for more details. Reflow Lead-Free Soldering Information The RoHS-compliant through-hole products can be processed with the following paste-through-hole Pb or Pb-free reflow process.

BMP module will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C (Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for both Pbfree solder profiles and MSL classification procedures. BMP will comply with JEDEC J-STD-020C specification for 3 times reflow requirement. The suggested Pbfree solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Figure 23. Peak Temp. 240 -245°C The EBVW020 power module series are low profile in order to be used in fine pitch system card architectures. As such, component clearance between the bottom of the power module and the mounting board is limited. Avoid placing copper areas on the outer layer directly underneath the power module. Also avoid placing via interconnects underneath the power module. For additional layout guide-lines, refer to FLT007A0Z Data Sheet. Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering Information The RoHS-compliant, Z version, through-hole products use the SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant components. The non-Z version products use lead-tin (Pb/Sn) solder and RoHS-compliant components. Both version modules are designed to be processed through single or dual wave soldering machines. The pins have an RoHS-compliant, pure tin finish that is compatible with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes.

Storage and Handling The recommended storage environment and handling procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount packages is ©2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 11 GE Data Sheet EBVW020A0B Barracuda Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules 36-75Vdc Input; 12.0Vdc, 20.0A, 240W Output detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should not be broken until time of use. Once the original package is broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of 30°C and 60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD025A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will be a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when stored at the following conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative humidity. Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The result of inadequate cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability of a power module and the testability of the finished circuit-board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures, refer to GE Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note (AP01-056EPS). EMC Considerations The circuit and plots in Figure 24 shows a suggested configuration to meet the conducted emission limits of Level EN55022 Class B. For further information on designing for EMC compliance, please refer to the FLT007A0 data sheet.
