DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS TEST CONFIGURATIONS Input Source Impedance To maintain low noise and ripple at the input voltage, it is critical to use low ESR capacitors at the input to the module. A highly inductive source can affect the stability of the module. An input capacitance must be placed close to the modules input pins to filter ripple current and ensure module stability in the presence of inductive traces that supply the input voltage to the module.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (CON.) FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS Safety Considerations Remote On/Off For safety-agency approval the power module must be installed in compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of the end-use safety agency standards. The DCT series power modules have an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Both positive and negative On/Off logic options are available in the DCT series power modules.
FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Vo Remote Sense RLoad TRIM The DCT provide Vo remote sensing to achieve proper regulation at the load points and reduce effects of distribution losses on output line. In the event of an open remote sense line, the module shall maintain local sense regulation through an internal resistor. The module shall correct for a total of 0.5V of loss. The remote sense line impedance shall be < 10.
FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Voltage Margining Output voltage margining can be implemented in the DCT modules by connecting a resistor, R margin-up, from the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a resistor, R margin-down, from the Trim pin to the output pin for margining-down. Figure 37 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining. If unused, leave the trim pin unconnected.
FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS (CON.) Power Good The DCT modules provide a Power Good (PGOOD) After the 10msec delay, an analog voltage is applied to signal that is implemented with an open-drain output to the SEQ pin and the output voltage of the module will indicate that the output voltage is within the regulation track this voltage on a one-to-one volt bases until the limits of the power module. The PGOOD signal will be output reaches the set-point voltage.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS THERMAL CURVES Thermal management is an important part of the system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation, sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over the entire temperature range of the module. Convection cooling is usually the dominant mode of heat transfer. Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the thermal performance of the power module is a wind tunnel.
