Component Selection Procedure:
• Determine load capacitance:
C
L
= C2 + C3 + module input capacitance
• Determine load current, I
LOAD
.
• Select circuit-breaker current, for example:
I
CB
= 2 x I
LOAD
• Calculate R
SENSE
:
Realize that I
CB
varies ±20% due to trip-voltage tol-
erance.
• Set allowable inrush current:
• Determine value of C2:
• Calculate value of C1:
• Determine value of R3:
•Set R2 = 10Ω.
• If an optocoupler is utilized as in Figure 14, deter-
mine the LED series resistor:
Although the suggested optocoupler is not specified for
operation below 5mA, its performance is adequate for
36V temporary low-line voltage where LED current
would then be ≈2.2mA to 3.7mA. If R7 is set as high as
51kΩ, optocoupler operation should be verified over
the expected temperature and input voltage range to
ensure suitable operation when LED current ≈0.9mA for
48V input and ≈0.7mA for 36V input.
If input transients are expected to momentarily raise the
input voltage to >100V, select an input transient-voltage-
suppression diode (TVS) to limit maximum voltage on the
MAX5921/MAX5939 to less than 100V. A suitable device
is the Diodes Inc. SMAT70A telecom-specific TVS.
Select Q1 to meet supply voltage, load current, efficien-
cy, and Q1 package power-dissipation requirements:
