Front to Rear
PFF3000-12-069RD power supply is a fully digital controlled, highly efficient front-end converter. It incorporates state-of-the-art
technology and uses an interleaved forward converter topology with active clamp and synchronous rectification to reduce
component stresses, thus providing increased system reliability and very high efficiency.
With a wide DC input voltage range and minimal linear output power derating with ambient temperature, PFF3000-12-069RD
maximizes power availability in demanding server, switch, and router applications. The frontend is fan cooled and ideally suited for
server integration with a matching airflow path.
Active OR-ing devices on the main output ensure no reverse load current and render the supply ideally suited for operation in
redundant power systems. The standby output (12V/2A) provides power to external power distribution and management controllers.
Its protection with an active OR-ing device provides for maximum reliability.
Status information is provided with two front-panel LEDs. In addition, the power supply can be controlled via I2C bus. This allows
full monitoring of the supply, including input and output voltage, current, power, and inside temperatures. Cooling is managed by a
fan controlled by the DSP controller. The fan speed is adjusted automatically depending on the actual power demand and supply
temperature and can be overridden through the I2C bus.

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings may cause performance degradation, adversely affect long-term reliability, and
cause permanent damage to the supply.

4.1 INPUT FUSE
Fast-acting 100 A input fuse in series on minus DC rail inside the PSU protects against severe defects. The fuse is not accessible
from the outside and is not therefore a serviceable part.
4.2 INRUSH CURRENT & REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
Internal bulk capacitors will be charged through NTC resistors connected from bulk cap minus pin to the DC rail minus, thus
limiting the inrush current. After the inrush phase, NTC resistors are then shorted with MOSFETs connected in parallel. Inrush
control is managed by the digital controller (DSP).
Parallel connected MOSFETs in series to the DC minus rail input act as a reverse polarity blocking element (Fig. 1). In case of
a short at the input voltage or input reverse polarity, these MOSFETs will open and prevent the bulk caps to be discharged via
the input. Reverse polarity control is managed by a fast-acting analog circuit.
NOTE:
In order to keep max inrush current below I
I
max, it is not recommended to repeat plug-in/-out operations within 20 s.

4.3 INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE
If input voltage V
I
is below the input under-voltage lockout threshold V
I min
, main output will be inhibited. Once the input voltage
returns within the normal operating voltage range, main output voltage will be enabled again and converter returns into normal
operation.
4.4 EFFICIENCY
High efficiency is achieved by using state-of-the-art silicon power devices, thus minimizing conduction and switching losses
by an optimized design and layout. Synchronous rectifiers on the output stage reduce losses in the high current output path.
Fan speed is digitally controlled in order to keep all components below critical operating temperature.
