Typical Applications:
systems requiring a
rugged, full featured interface to the AC
mains in the smallest possible package.
Product Highlights
The ARM (Autoranging Rectifier Module) is
an AC front end module which provides
autoranging line rectification and inrush
current limiting. The ARM is available in
either 500/750 W or 750/1500 W models in a
quarter brick package measuring only
2.28" x 1.45" x 0.5".
The ARM interfaces directly with worldwide
AC mains and may be used with Vicor
300 V input DC-DC converters to realize an
autoranging, high density, low profile
switching power supply. The ARM includes
a microcontroller that continuously monitors
the AC line to control bridge/doubler
operation. The user need only provide
external capacitance to satisfy system hold-
up requirements.
Vicor Micro series packaging technology
offers flexible mounting options for various
manufacturing processes. The ARM may be
installed as a conventional leaded device for
on-board applications, in-board for low
profile, height restricted applications,
socketed or surface mounted with optional
ModuMate interconnect products.

APPLICATION NOTE
The VI-ARM Autoranging Rectifier Module (ARM) provides
an effective solution for the AC front end of a power supply
designed with Vicor DC-DC converters. This high performance
power system building block satisfies a broad spectrum of
requirements and agency standards.
The ARM contains all of the power switching and control
circuitry necessary for autoranging rectification, inrush current
limiting, and overvoltage protection. This module also provides
converter enable and status functions for orderly power
up/down control or sequencing. To complete the AC front-end
configuration, the user needs only to add holdup capacitors and
a suitable input filter with transient protection.
Functional Description
Initial Conditions.
The switch that bypasses the inrush
limiting PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistor is
open when power is applied, as is the switch that engages the
strap for voltage doubling. (See
Fig. 8).
In addition, the
downstream DC-DC modules are disabled via the Enable (EN)
line, and Bus-OK (B OK) is high.
Power-Up Sequence.
(See
Fig. 9).:
1.1
Upon application of input power, the output bus capacitors
begin to charge. The thermistor limits the charge current,
and the exponential time constant is determined by the
holdup capacitor value and the thermistor cold resistance.
The slope (dv/dt) of the capacitor voltage approaches zero
as the capacitors become charged to the peak of the AC
line voltage.
2.1
If the bus voltage is less than 200 V as the slope nears
zero, the voltage doubler is activated, and the bus voltage
climbs exponentially to twice the peak line voltage.
If the bus voltage is greater than 200 V, the doubler is
not activated.
If the bus voltage is greater than 235 V as the slope
approaches zero, the inrush limiting thermistor is
bypassed. Below 235 V, the thermistor is not bypassed.
The converters are enabled ~150 milliseconds after the
thermistor bypass switch is closed.
Bus-OK is asserted after an additional ~150 millisecond
delay to allow the converter outputs to settle within
specification.
3.1
4.1
5.1
Power-Down Sequence.
(See
Fig. 9).
When input power is
turned off or fails, the following sequence occurs as the bus
voltage decays:
1.2
2.2
Bus-OK is deasserted when the bus voltage falls below
205 Vdc (Typ.).
The converters are disabled when the bus voltage falls
below 200 Vdc. If power is reapplied after the converters
are disabled, the entire power-up sequence is repeated. If
a momentary power interruption occurs and power is
reestablished before the bus reaches the disable threshold,
the power-up sequence is not repeated.
