Pin Location The +Vin and -Vin input connection pins are located as shown in Figure 1. AV45C series converters have a 2:1 input voltage range and can accept 36-75 Vdc input.

An external fuse must always be employed! To meet international safety requirements, a 250 Volt rated fuse should be used. If one of the input lines is connected to chassis ground, then the fuse must be placed in the other input line. Standard safety agency regulations require input fusing. Recommended fuse ratings for the AV45C quarter-brick are shown in Table 1.

Protection can easily be provided as shown in Figure 2. In both cases the diode rating is determined by the power of the converter. +Vin +Vin -Vin -Vin Fig.2 Reverse Polarity Protection Circuits Placing the diode across the inputs rather than in-line with the input offers an advantage in that the diode only conducts in a reverse polarity condition, which increases circuit efficiency and thermal performance. Input Undervoltage Protection The AV45C quarter-brick series is protected against undervoltage on the input. If the input voltage drops below the acceptable range, the converter will shut down. It will automatically restart when the undervoltage condition is removed. Input Filter Input filters are included in the converters to help achieve standard system emissions certifications. Some users however, may find that additional input filtering is necessary. The AV45C quarter-brick series has an internal switching frequency of 250 kHz so a high frequency capacitor mounted close to the input terminals produces the best results. To reduce reflected noise, a capacitor can be added across the input as shown in Figure 3, forming Asia 852-2437-9662 852-2402-4426 -16www.astec.com AV 4 5 C Q u a r t e r - B r i c k S e r i e s 1 0 0 W P o w e r C o n v e r t e r s 36Vdc to 75Vdc Input, Single Output a π filter.

The input-to-output 1500VDC isolation is an operational insulation. The DC/DC power module should be installed in end-use equipment, in compliance with the requirements of the ultimate application, and is intended to be supplied by an isolated secondary circuit. When the supply to the DC/DC power module meets all the requirements for SELV(<60Vdc), the output is considered to remain within SELV limits (level 3). If connected to a 60Vdc power system, double or reinforced insulation must be provided in the power supply that isolates the input from any hazardous voltages, including the ac mains. One input pin and one output pin are to be grounded or both the input and output pins are to be kept floating. Single fault testing in the power supply must be performed in combination with the DC/DC power module to demonstrate that the output meets the requirement for SELV. The input pins of the module are not operator accessible. 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 pin and ground. the output terminals of the unit to the point of connection of the remote sense pins. This feature automatically adjusts the real output voltage of the AV45C series in order to compensate for voltage drops in distribution and maintain a regulated voltage at the point of load. When the converter is supporting loads far away, or is used with undersized cabling, significant voltage drop can occur at the load. The best defense against such drops is to locate the load close to the converter and to ensure adequately sized cabling is used. When this is not possible, the converter can compensate for a drop of up to 10%Vo, through use of the sense leads. When used, the + and - Sense leads should be connected from the converter to the point of load as shown in Figure 9 using twisted pair wire. The converter will then regulate its output voltage at the point where the leads are connected. Care should be taken not to reverse the sense leads. If reversed, the converter will trigger OVP protection and turn off. When not used, the +Sense lead must be connected with +Vo, and -Sense with -Vo. Also note that the output voltage and the remote sense voltage offset must be less than the minimum overvoltage trip point. Note that at elevated output voltages the maximum power rating of the module remains the Output Characteristics same, and the output current capability will decrease correspondingly.

The trim resistor should be positioned close to the module. If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open. Trimming up by more than 10% of the nominal output may damage the converter or trig the OVP protection. Trimming down more than 20% can cause the converter to regulate improperly. Trim down and trim up circuits and the corresponding configuration are shown in Figure 10 to Figure 14.

When output current exceeds 110 to 140% of rated current, such as during a short circuit condition, the output will shutdown immediately, and can tolerate short circuit conditions indefinitely. When the overcurrent condition is removed, the converter will automatically restart. Output Filters When the load is sensitive to ripple and noise, an output filter can be added to minimize the effects. A simple output filter to reduce output ripple and noise can be made by connecting a capacitor across the output as shown in Figure 15. The recommended value for the output capacitor C1 is 2200µF/10V (refer to page 3). +Vout C1 Load Decoupling Noise on the power distribution system is not always created by the converter. High speed analog or digital loads with dynamic power demands can cause noise to cross the power inductor back onto the input lines. Noise can be reduced by decoupling the load. In most cases, connecting a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor across the load will decouple it. The capacitors should be connected as close to the load as possible. Ground Loops Ground loops occur when different circuits are given multiple paths to common or earth ground, as shown in Figure 17. Multiple ground points can slightly different potential and cause current flow through the circuit from one point to another. This can result in additional noise in all the circuits. To eliminate the problem, circuits should be designed with a single ground connection as shown in Figure 18. -Vout RLine RLine +Vout Fig.15 Output Ripple Filter Load -Vout Extra care should be taken when long leads or traces are used to provide power to the load. Long lead lengths increase the chance for noise to appear on the lines. Under these conditions C2 can be added across the load as shown in Figure 16. The recommended component for C2 is 2200µF/10V capacitor and connecting a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor C1 in parallel generally.

When an over-voltage condition occurs, an internal “ turn off “ signal shut off the module. The module will restart after power on again. Parallel Power Distribution Figure 19 shows a typical parallel power distribution design. Such designs, sometimes called daisy chains, can be used for very low output currents, but are not normally recommended. The voltage across loads far from the source can vary greatly depending on the IR drops along the leads and changes in the loads closer to the source. Dynamic load conditions increase the potential problems.

Figure 20 shows how individual loads are connected directly to the power source. This arrangement requires additional power leads, but it avoids the voltage variation problems associated with the parallel power distribution technique. +Vout Mixed Distribution In the real world a combination of parallel and radial power distribution is often used. Dynamic and high current loads are connected using a radial design, while static and low current loads can be connected in parallel. This combined approach minimizes the drawbacks of a parallel design when a purely radial design is not feasible. +Vout RL3 RL1 RG1 RL4 RL2 Load 1 Load 2 Load 3 Load 4 RG2 RG3 -Vout RG4 RL = Lead Resistance RG = Ground Lead Resistance Fig.21 Mixed Power Distribution Redundant Operation A common requirement in high reliability systems is to provide redundant power supplies. The easiest way to do this is to place two converters in parallel, providing fault tolerance but not load sharing. Oring diodes should be used to ensure that failure of one converter will not cause failure of the other converter. Figure 22 shows such an arrangement. Upon application of power, one of the converters will provide a slightly higher output voltage and will support the full load demand. The second converter will see a zero load condition and will “idle”. If the first converter should fail, the second converter will support the most load. When designing redundant converter circuits, Shottky diodes should be used to minimize the forward voltage drop. The voltage drop across the Shottky diodes must also be considered when determining load voltage requirements. +Vout -Vout RL2 Load 1 RG1 Load RL3 RL1 Load 2 Load 3 +Vout RG2 RG3 -Vout -Vout RL = Lead Resistance RG = Ground Lead Resistance Fig.22 Redundant Operation Fig.20 Radial Power Distribution TEL: FAX: USA 1-760-930-4600 1-760-930-0698 Europe 44-(0)1384-842-211 44-(0)1384-843-355 Asia 852-2437-9662 852-2402-4426 -21www.astec.com AV 4 5 C Q u a r t e r - B r i c k S e r i e s 1 0 0 W P o w e r C o n v e r t e r s 36Vdc to 75Vdc Input, Single Output AV45C Quarter-brick Series Mechanical Considerations Installation Although AV45C quarter-brick series converters can be mounted in any orientation, free airflowing must be taken. Normally power components are always put at the end of the airflow path or have the separate airflow paths. This can keep other system equipment cooler and increase component life spans. AV45C Hole Pattern Component-side footprint. Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches). Fig. 23 is mechanical chart. Fig. 24 is hole pattern. Soldering AV45C quarter-brick series is compatible with standard wave soldering techniques. When wave soldering, the converter pins should be preheated for 20-30 seconds at 110° C, and wave soldered at 260°C for less than 10 seconds. When hand soldering, the iron temperature should be maintained at 425°C and applied to the converter pins for less than 5 seconds. Longer exposure can cause internal damage to the converter. Cleaning can be performed with cleaning solvent IPA or with water. MTBF The MTBF, calculated in accordance with Bellcore TR-NWT-000332 is 2,000,000 hours. Obtaining this MTBF in practice is entirely possible. Mounting the modules in the well ventilated conditions or with heatsink on are expected to raise the MTBF. ASTEC can offer custom thermal solutions. Please contact the factory for details.
