Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. 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 normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 10A (see Safety
and Reliability Specifications).

3.3 Vdc and 5.0 Vdc Input, 1.5 Vdc to 3.3 Vdc Output, 6A
Output Control
The control pin is a dual-function port that serves to enable/disable the converter or provide a means of
adjusting the output voltage over a prescribed range. When the control pin is grounded, the converter is
disabled. With the pin left open, the converter regulates to its specified output voltage. For any other
voltage applied to the pin, the output voltage follows this relationship:
V

=
1.5V
* V

The Thevenin equivalent input resistance of the control pin is approximately 7.68K ohms and the open
circuit voltage is 1.5V.

= 3.3 volts. Trim resistor
tolerance will obviously affect output voltage. To determine the magnitude of this effect, simply use the
extreme values in the above equations.
Because trimming affects the system reference, trimming beyond +/- 10% is unacceptable and +/-
approximately 5% is desirable. One affect trimming has, aside from output voltage adjustment, is
changing the current limit inception point. Trimming the unit down beyond 5% requires derating available
current by 1% for every percent beyond 5 that the module is trimmed down. For example, if a module is
trimmed down 7%, then output current would have to be derated 2%. If paralleled modules are to be
trimmed using the control pin, divide the calculated trim resistance for a single unit by the number of
modules paralleled. For example, if two paralleled units are to be trimmed 5% low, then a resistance of
146K divided by 2 should be used.

Output Regulation
These modules have intentional output resistance to facilitate transient response and paralleling. This
means that output voltage will decrease with increasing output current. For this reason, the total DC
regulation window at a given operating and ambient temperature is comprised of a no load setpoint and a
voltage drop due to module output resistance. Regulation data provided in Table 3 includes both initial
setpoint and voltage drop. Because Table 3 includes output resistance drop, the maximum column is
always a no load condition and the minimum column is always a full load condition. No module could pass
production test with a full load regulation point equal to the maximum column. This means that at any
operating current, the regulation will always be better than the total window specified in Table 3.

Static Voltage Regulation
The output voltage measured at the converter output pins on the system board will be within the range
shown in Table 3, except for input voltage turn-on and turn-off. Static voltage regulation includes:
•
DC output initial voltage
•
Input voltage range
•
3.0V — 3.6V
•
4.5V — 5.5V
•
Load regulation from 0A — 6A
Output Ripple and Noise
Ripple and noise are defined as periodic or random signals at the output pins under constant load. Typical
full load output ripple and noise waveforms are shown in Figures 12 — 20.

Output Overcurrent Protection/Overtemperature Protection
Current limiting is provided for momentary overloads and short circuits. A sustained overload may cause
the thermal shutdown circuit to activate. The current limit inception is nominally 7 amperes with the power
semiconductors at rated temperature in a 25 °C ambient environment. The thermal circuitry will shut down
the module at 115 °C minimum on the power semiconductors’ top surfaces.
Input/Output Decoupling
An input capacitance of 100
µF,
with an ESR of less than 100 milliohms, and at least 1
µF
ceramic or
equivalent is recommended for the input to the modules. The 100
µF
should always be used unless
main bulk buss capacitors are located close to the module. This capacitor provides decoupling in the
event of a fault to the module output. Input voltage should never go below 2.5 volts or internal protection
circuitry may fail to act. To achieve noise levels shown in Figures 11 – 20, one 100
µF
tantalum
capacitor and two 1
µF
ceramic capacitors were used. 0.75 inches of 0.14 inch wide track (with no
ground beneath) was used as an inductor between the input pin of the module and the decoupling
capacitors (see Figure 10). An impedance vs. frequency plot has been provided for the 100
µF
capacitor
to aid in selecting equivalent parts.
Output decoupling used to achieve noise levels shown in Figures 11 – 20 was 1
µF
in series with 0.5Ω
and .01
µF.
Ringing on the output due to common impedance with the input decoupling circuit was
damped using the 1
µF/0.5Ω
series combination. An equivalent damping network is recommended.
Care should be taken that selected output decoupling capacitors do not form troublesome L-C resonant
networks with track inductance. Austin Power Modules may be used with up to 10,000
µF
of
capacitance. The modules are designed to remain stable with any capacitor/ESR combination.
