The PFE1500-12-054xD is 1500 watt DC to DC power supply that
converts DC input into a main output of 12 VDC for powering
intermediate bus architectures (IBA) in high performance and reliability
servers, routers, and network switches.
The PFE1500-12-054xD meets international safety standards and
displays the CE-Mark for the European Low Voltage Directive (LVD).

The PFE1500-12-054xD DC/DC power supply is a DSP controlled, high efficient front-end power supply. 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 input DC voltage range the
PFE1500-12-054xD maximizes power availability in demanding server, network, and other high availability applications. The supply is
fan cooled and ideally suited for integration with a matching airflow path.
An active OR-ing device on the output ensures no reverse load current and renders the supply ideally suited for operation in redundant
power systems.
The always-on standby output provides power to external power distribution and management controllers. It is protected with an active
OR-ing device for maximum reliability.
Status information is provided with a front-panel LED. In addition, the power supply can be controlled and the fan speed set via the
I2C bus. The I2C bus 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

6.1 OUTPUT GROUND
The output return path serves as power and signal ground. All output voltages and signals are referenced to these pins. To prevent
a shift in signal and voltage levels due to ground wiring voltage drop a low impedance ground plane should be used as shown in
Figure 3
. Alternatively, separated ground signals can be used as shown in
Figure 4
. In this case the two ground planes should be
connected together at the power supplies ground pins.
