Status and Control
Signal Definitions
All signals and outputs are referenced to Output return. These
include ‘Vstb return’ and ‘Signal return’.
protected. A LO permits writing to the EEPROM. This signal is
pulled HI internally by the power supply.
Output signals
Output current monitor (Imon):
A voltage level proportional to
the output current is present on this pin. The signal level is
0. 2V per amp ± 0.25V.
AC OK:
TTL compatible open collector. Maximum sink current
20mA, max voltage is 12Vdc. A (HI) on this signal indicates
that the input voltage is present within limits.
DC OK:
TTL compatible, open collector. Maximum sink
current 20mA, max voltage is 12Vdc. A (HI) on this signal
indicates that the output voltage is present.
Over temp warning:
TTL compatible, open collector.
Maximum sink current 20mA, max voltage is 12Vdc. A (HI) on
this signal indicates that temperatures are normal.
If an over temperature should occur, this signal would delay
pulling LO for approximately 10 seconds. The unit would
restart if internal temperatures recover within normal
operational levels.
Fault:
TTL compatible, open collector. Maximum sink current
20mA, max voltage is 12Vdc. A (HI) on this signal indicates
that no faults are present.
This signal activates for OTP, OVP, or AC fault.
PS Present:
Connected to ‘output return’. Its intent is to
indicate to the system that a power supply is present. This
signal may need to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.
Interrupt:
A TTL compatible status signal, representing the
SMBusAlert# feature of the i
2
C protocol in the power supply.
This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.
Maximum sink current
≤
4mA and the pull up resistor should
be tied to <5Vdc. Open collector (HI) on this signal indicates
that no Interrupt has been triggered.
Input Signals
Voltage programming (V
prog
):
An analog voltage on this signal
can vary the output voltage from -42Vdc to -58Vdc. The
equation of this signal is:
V
out
= 20x (V
prog
) 2.1 < V
prog
< 2.9
If Vprog is
≥
4V, or left open the programming signal is ignored
and the unit output is set at the setpoint of -54Vdc.
Load share (Ishare):
Single wire analog signal between power
supplies connected in parallel. The Ishare pins should be tied
together for power supplies. No resistors or capacitors should
get connected to this pin.
Remote ON/OFF:
Controls the presence of the main -54Vdc
output voltage. This is an open collector, TTL level control
signal. This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a
resistor. Maximum collector voltage is 12Vdc, maximum sink
current is 1mA. Logic 1 turns ON the -54Vdc output, while a
Logic 0 turns OFF the -54Vdc output.
A turn OFF command either through this signal or firmware
commanded would turn OFF the -54V output.
Enable:
This is a short signal pin that controls the presence of
the -54Vdc main output. This pin should be connected to
‘output return’ on the system side of the output connector. The
purpose of this pin is to ensure that the output turns ON after
engagement of the power blades and turns OFF prior to
disengagement of the power blades.
Write protect (WP):
This signal protects the contents of the
external EEPROM. When left open the EEPROM is write

Serial Bus Communications – CAR1248TN
The I²C interface facilitates the monitoring and control of
various operating parameters within the unit and transmits
these on demand over an industry standard I²C Serial bus.
All signals are referenced to ‘Signal Return’.

Vout [00]:
Output voltage read back, returns the voltage on
the anode side of the or’ing function, data LSB followed by
MSB.
The default value is -54Vdc
Example; readback 0211h, convert into its decimal equivalent
and then multiply by the constant, Vout = 529 x 0.102 =
54Vdc
Iout [01]:
Output current read back, data LSB followed by MSB.
Example; readback 021Fh, convert into its decimal equivalent
and multiply by the constant, Iout=543 x 0.042 = 22.8A
Temperature [02]:
Temperature read back, data LSB followed
by MSB.
Example; readback 037Bh, convert into its decimal equivalent
and multiply by the constant, temp = 891 x 0.005 = 4.36. In the

ON/OFF [03]:
A logic ‘1’ turns OFF the -54V output of the
power supply.
Ilim [04]:
This feature lowers the current limit from the default
values of 0253h (595), corresponding to 25A at high line and
01EFh (495) corresponding to 20.8A at low line.
The delivered output current cannot exceed the maximum
power capacity of the unit. At high line the power supply is
limited to 1200W, thus, at -48Vdc the output current is limited
to 25A.
Example: At high line, reduce the current limit to 20A.
Compute the data to be sent to the controller; 20 / 0.042 =
476. The hex equivalent of this decimal data is 01DCh. The
data should be sent across the bus as LSB [DC] followed by
MSB [01].
Vset [05]:
Changes the output voltage via i2c, if the Vprog
hardware signal is > 4Vdc. If the Vprog pin voltage level is <
4Vdc, this command is ignored.
The output voltage setting must be between -42 – -58Vdc.
The default value is 023Eh, corresponding to -54Vdc.
Example; set the output to 48Vdc. Compute the data to be
sent to the controller; 48 / 0.094 = 510. The hex equivalent of
this decimal data is 01FEh. The data should be sent across the
bus as LSB [FE] followed by MSB [01].
