The PKL 4000 Series of high efficiency DC/DC
converters are designed to provide high quality on-
board power solutions in distributed power architectures
used in “Inter-networking” equipment in Wireless and
Wired Communications and Datacom applications.
The PKL 4000 Series is an extended version of the
industry standard half brick footprint that has been
enhanced to include two additional output pins for
connection reliability and higher output current. The
PKL Series uses the most advanced patented topology
and synchronous rectification technology and achieves
a typical efficiency up to 92%. This product features
fast dynamic response times and low output ripple,
which are important parameters when supplying low-
voltage logics. Ericsson’s PKL 4000 Series addresses
the emerging telecom market for applications in the
multi-service network by specifying the input voltage
range in accordance with ETSI specifications. Included
as standard features are over-voltage protection, under-
voltage protection, over-temperature protection, soft-
start, short circuit protection, remote sense, remote
on/off, and industry standard output trim adjustment.
The PKL 4000 Series also offers the flexibility of
using optional heatsinks when needed, enabling
reduced airflow, extended reliability, and higher
ambient temperature operation. These converters are
manufactured in highly automated manufacturing
lines and meet world-class quality levels.
Ericsson Power Modules is an ISO 9001 (since 1991)
and ISO14001 certified Supplier.

Note:
Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes referred to as
no destruction limits, are normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding the limits of Output data or Electrical Characteristics. If
exposed to stress above these limits, function and performance may degrade in an unspecified manner.

The PKL 4000 series DC/DC converters
are designed in accordance with safety
standards IEC/EN/UL 60 950,
Safety of
Information Technology Equipment.
The PKL 4000 series DC/DC converters
are UL 60 950 recognized and certified
in accordance with EN 60 950.
The DC/DC converter should be
installed in the end-use equipment, in
accordance with the requirements of the
ultimate application. The input source
must be isolated by minimum Basic
Insulation from the primary circuit in
accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60 950.
If the input voltage to the DC/DC
converter is 75 V dc or less, then the
output remains SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) under normal and abnormal
operating conditions. Single fault
testing in the input power supply circuit
should be performed with the DC/DC
converter connected to demonstrate that
the input voltage does not exceed 75 V
dc. If the input power source circuit is
a DC power system, the source may be
treated as a TNV2 circuit and testing
has demonstrated compliance with
SELV limits and isolation requirements
equivalent to Basic Insulation in
accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60 950.
It is recommended that a fast blow fuse
with a rating twice the maximum input
current per selected product be used at
the input of each DC/DC converter. If a
fault occurs in the converter that imposes
a short circuit on the input source, this
fuse will provide the following functions:
•
Isolate the faulty DC/DC converter
from the input power source not to
affect the operation of other parts of
the system.
•
Protect the distribution wiring from
excessive current and power loss thus
preventing hazardous overheating.
The galvanic isolation is verified in an
electric strength test. The test voltage
(V
ISO
) between input and output is 1500
Vdc for 60 seconds. Leakage current is
less than 1µA at nominal input voltage.
The flammability rating for all
construction parts of the DC/DC
converter meets UL 94V-0.
