Description
These extremely compact DC-DC converters incorporate all
necessary input and output filters, signaling and protection
features, which are required in the majority of applications.
The converters provide important advantages, such as
flexible output power through primary-side current limitation,
extremely high efficiency, excellent reliability, very low ripple
and RFI noise levels, full input-to-output isolation, negligible
inrush current, soft start, overtemperature protection and
input over- and undervoltage lockout.
The converters are particularly suitable for rugged environments, such as railway applications. They have been de-
Table of Contents
signed in accordance with the European railway standards
EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2. All printed circuit boards are
coated with a protective lacquer. The converter inputs are
protected against surges and transients occurring on the
source lines and cover a total input voltage range from 16 to
150 VDC with five different types. The outputs are
continuously open- and short-circuit proof.
Full system flexibility and n+1 redundant operating mode are
possible due to series or parallel connection capabilities of
the outputs under the specified conditions. When several
converters (with 3.3 and 5.1 V outputs) are connected in
parallel, the T option allows for a single-wire connection
between the converters to ensure good current sharing.

LEDs at the front panel and an isolated Out-OK signal
(option) indicate the status of the converter. Voltage suppressor diodes and an independent second control loop
protect the outputs against an internally generated overvoltage.
The converters are designed using planar magnetics
transformers and control circuits in hybrid technology. There
are always two powertrains fitted to a converter, each
consisting either of a regulated single output with synchronous rectifier or of a regulated main output with a
tracking second output. The output power may be flexibly
distributed among the main and the tracking output of each
powertrain. Close magnetic coupling in the transformers
and output conductors together with circuit symmetry ensure
tight tracking of the auxiliary output. The switching frequency
is fixed.
As a modular power supply or as part of a distributed power
supply system, the low-profile design significantly reduces
the required volume without sacrificing high reliability. The
converters are particularly suitable for 19" rack systems
occupying 3U/4TE only, but they can also be chassismounted by means of four screws. Connector type is H15 (or
H15S2 for some single-output models). The fully enclosed
black-coated aluminium case acts as heat sink and RFI
shield and protects the converter together with the coating of
all components against environmental impacts.

Output Configuration
The P Series allows high flexibility in output configuration to
cover almost every individual requirement, by simply wiring
outputs in parallel, in series, or in independent configuration, as shown in the following diagrams.
connect converters in parallel without measures to
provide reasonable current sharing. Choose suitable
single-output models, if available.
Note: Unused tracking outputs should be connected parallel to
the respective regulated outputs.
Parallel or serial operation of several converters with equal
output voltage is possible, however it is not advantageous to

90 – 194 Watt DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The power supplies are equipped with two independent
flight-forward converters, switching 180° phase-shifted to
minimize the ripple current at the input. They use primary and
secondary control circuits in hybrid technology. The two
converters, called "powertrains" (PT), each generate either a
single output with synchronous rectifier or two isolated
outputs, one fully regulated and the other one tracking (semiregulated), thus providing up to four output voltages. In some
models, both outputs of a powertrain are internally connected in parallel .
The highly efficient input filter together with very low input
capacitance results in very low and short inrush current. After
transformer isolation and rectification the output filter reduces
ripple and noise to a minimum without affecting the dynamic
response. Outputs 3 and 4, if available, are tracking (semiregulated) and rely upon the close magnetic coupling of the
transformer and the output inductor together with the circuit
symmetry for their voltage regulation. A current limitation
circuit is located on the primary side of each powertrain,
limiting the total output current of that powertrain in overload
conditions. This allows flexible power operation of the
outputs from each powertrain. All outputs can either be
connected in series or in parallel; see Electrical Output Data.
An auxiliary converter provides the bias voltages for the
primary and secondary referenced control logic and the
option circuits. An oscillator generates a clock pulse of
307 ±1% kHz, which is fed to the control logic of each
powertrain. The pulsewidth modulation and the magnetic
feedback are provided by special ASICs. The converter is
only enabled, if the input voltage is within the operating
voltage range.
Double-output powertrains are equipped with an independent monitor sensing the output voltage of the tracking
output. It influences the contol logic in order to reduce via the
pulse width the voltages of both outputs. In addition, the
tracking ouputs are protected by a suppressor diode.
Outputs of single-output powertrains are also protected by a
suppressor diode.
The temperature of the heat sink is monitored and causes
the converter to disable the outputs, until the temperature
drops; then the converter automatically resumes.

Input Fuse and Reverse Polarity
A fuse mounted inside the converter protects against further
damage in case of a failure. The fuse is not user-accessible.
Reverse polarity at the input will cause the fuse to blow.

First column: single-output powertrains or double-output powertrains with separated/paralleled outputs, second column: outputs in
series connection.
Sense Lines
Important: Sense lines should always be connected.
Incorrectly connected sense lines may damage the converter. If
sense pins are left open-circuit, the output voltages are not
accurate.
This feature enables compensation of voltage drop across
the connector contacts and the load lines including ORing
diodes in true redundant systems.
Applying generously dimensioned cross-section load leads
avoids troublesome voltage drop. To minimize noise pick-up,
wire sense lines parallel or twisted to the respective output
line. To be sure, connect the sense lines directly at the
female connector.
The voltage difference between any sense line and its
respective power output pin (as measured on the connector)
should not exceed the following values at nominal output
voltage.
