This control loop has a higher voltage setpoint than the primary loop. In a fault condition the converter goes into “Hiccup Mode”, and the output overvoltage clamp ensures that the output voltage does not exceed Vo,clamp,max. This secondary control loop provides a redundant voltage-control that reduces the risk of output overvoltage. Output Current Protection To provide protection in an output overload or short circuit condition, the converter is equipped with current limiting circuitry and can endure the fault condition for an unlimited duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the converter goes into “Hiccup Mode”, causing the output current to be limited both in peak and duration. The converter operates normally once the output current is brought back into its specified range. Enable (Optional) Two enable option are available. Positive Logic Enable, no suffix, and Negative Logic Enable, suffix “N”. Positive Logic Enable turns the converter on during a logic-high voltage on the enable pin, and off during a logic-low. Negative Logic Enable turns the converter of during a logic-high and on during a logic-low. Output Voltage Adjustment Output voltage adjustment is accomplished by connecting an external resistor between the Vadj Pin and either the +Vout or –Vout Pins. With an external resistor between the Vadj Pin and -Sense Pin (Radj-down) the output voltage set point (Vo,adj) decreases (see Figure 12). The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain an adjusted output voltage: Radj_down 510 %Vo, adj 10.2 . kohm Where Radj-down is the resistance value and %Vo,adj is the percent change in the output voltage. With an external resistor between the Vadj Pin and +Sense Pin (Radj-up) the output voltage set point (Vo,adj) increases (see Figure 13). The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain an adjusted output voltage: Radj_up 5.1Vo. ( 100 %Vo, adj) . 1.225%Vo , adj 510 10.2 . kohm %Vo, adj Where Radj-up is the resistance value and %Vo,adj is the percent change in the output voltage. _____________________________________________________________ ASTEC POWER - Andover 11 of 17 Technical Reference Notes (TRN) -Vin Case AK45C 100W Series 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc Inputs, 100 W -Vout -Sense Radj-down Vadj Enable +Vin Rload +Sense +Vout Figure 12.

Heat-dissipating components are thermally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduction, convection, and radiation to the surrounding environment. Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the case temperature. Heat Transfer Characteristics Increasing airflow over the converter enhances the heat transfer via convection. Figure 14 shows the maximum power that can be dissipated by the converter without exceeding the maximum case temperature versus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection through 2.0 m/s (400 ft/min). Systems in which these converters are used generate airflow rates of 0.25 m/s (50 ft/min) due to other heat dissipating components in the system. Therefore, the natural convection condition represents airflow rates of approximately 0.25 m/s (50 ft/min). Use of Figure 14 is shown in the following example. Example What is the minimum airflow required for an 033F20 operating at 48 V, an output current of 15 A, and maximum ambient temperature of 50 ºC. Solution: Given: Vi = 48 V, Io = 15 A, TA = 50 ºC. Determine PD (Figure 17): PD = ~8 W. Determine minimum airflow (Figure 14): v = 1.0 m/s (200 ft/min) 2.0 m/s (400 ft/min) 1.5 m/s (300 ft/min) 1.0 m/s (200 ft/min) 0.5 m/s (100 ft/min) Nat. Conv.

After wash and any associated drying process step, it is recommended that the module be maintained at 100C for a period of 30 minutes to effect more complete drying of internal un-coated components such as magnetic structures with layered windings. HiPot and other electrical tests can be performed after the recommended drying procedure but some temporary degradation in results may be observed until complete drying has occurred. _____________________________________________________________ ASTEC POWER - Andover 17 of 17
