Compact PCI® CPA/CPD Series
200 – 550 Watt AC-DC and DC-DC Converters
Description
The CPA and CPD Series are highly reliable power supplies for CompactPCI® systems, which are increasingly used in communications,
industrial, military, aerospace, and other applications. These power supplies offer high power density in plug-in modules that meet the
requirements of the PICMG® power interface specification for CompactPCI® systems.
The converters use the patented EDGETM technology and provide important advantages such as flexible output power, extremely high
efficiency, excellent reliability, full input-to-output isolation, negligible inrush current, hot-swap capability, soft start, and overtemperature
protection.
The input is protected by a transient suppressor (varistor) against surges and transients occurring on the source lines and cover an
operating input voltage range from either 90 to 264 VAC or 36 to 75 VDC.
The outputs are protected against continuous overload, open-circuit, and short-circuit. Full n+1 redundant operating mode is made
possible by integrated ORing FETs or ORing diodes. When several converters are connected in parallel, a single-wire connection
between converters ensures proper current sharing.
The converters are designed with two or three separate forward converters with fixed switching frequency and synchronous rectifiers
at their output.
LEDs on the front panel and various warning signals display the status of the converter. The aluminum case acts as a heat sink and
as an RFI shield. It is designed for vertical insertion into 19” rack systems, but it can also be mounted in any other position, as long
as the necessary airflow is ensured. The connector is a 47 pin type from Positronic or similar.
Several options are available to meet different requirements.

Product Marking
Label with specific type designation, applicable safety approvals and recognition marks, CE mark, warnings, patents, company
logo, input voltage range, nominal output voltages and output currents, degree of protection, batch no., serial no., and data code
including production site, modification status, and date of production. Identification of LEDs on the front panel.
Functional Description
The inputs of all converters are protected against surges and transients occurring on the source lines. A highly efficient input filter
and an active inrush current limiter ensure a very low inrush current of short duration. This prevents circuit breakers and fuses
from tripping at switch-on.
All CPA models have an additional bridge rectifier and a boost converter to provide active power factor correction (PFC) according
to EN 61000-3-2.
The CPx200/250 models (see fig.1a) are equipped with two independent high efficient 2-switch forward converters, switching 180°
out of phase to minimize the ripple current at the input.
On the secondary side, two high-current synchronous rectifiers supply Vo1 (5 V) and Vo2 (3.3 V) with up to 40 A. The secondarycontrolled Vo3 (+12 V) post regulator is supplied by an additional winding of the 3.3 V main transformer. The linear regulator for
Vo4 (–12 V) is supplied from the output choke of the Vo3 output. The output filters reduce ripple and noise to a minimum without
compromising the dynamic response.
The models CPD500 (fig. 1b) and CPA500/550 (fig. 1c) exhibit a third forward converter for both outputs Vo3 and Vo4. The outputs
Vo1 an Vo2 provide up to 50 and 60 A.
All outputs are fully regulated and protected from the bus by decoupling FETs or diodes. A current monitor calculates the output
power. As soon as the output power exceeds the maximum threshold level, the converter starts to reduce the output power by
decreasing the output voltages.
In contrast to the outputs Vo1 (5 V), Vo2 (3.3 V), and Vo3 (+12 V) with active current sharing, output Vo4 (–12 V) has a droop
characteristic for passive current sharing.
If for some reason the voltage of any output exceeds the nominal value significantly, the converter is permanently shut down. If
option L is fitted, this occurs as well, if the max. output current is exceeded for a predefined time. To reset, the input voltage must
be removed for a short time.
Melcher’s Efficient Dual Geometric Edge Technology (EDGE TM) facilitates high current density, increases reliability by reducing
component stresses, and decreases the amount of heat dissipated. The backbone of this patented technology is an interleaved,
multi-channel forward converter utilising a transitional resonant switching technique and proprietary leading and trailing-edge
pulse-width modulation. It has a proven track record in high-availability power solutions.

Compact PCI® CPA/CPD Series
200 – 550 Watt AC-DC and DC-DC Converters
The switching frequency is typically 135 kHz. Recent models (CPD200/250 version V119 or later, CPA200/250 version V117 or later,
CPA500/550 version V110 or later, not CPD500) exhibit a crystal oscillator with 131 kHz.
All models have a separate auxiliary supply for the primary circuits, the CPD500 as well for the secondary circuits. The secondary
bias voltage of the other models is generated by the forward converters. Only the forward converters are controlled by the inhibit
and enable inputs; see Auxiliary Functions.

Input Fuse and Reverse Polarity Protection
A metal oxide varistor (voltage dependent resistor VDR) together with the input filter form an effective protection against high input
voltage transients, which typically occur in most installations.
An incorporated fuse protects the converter against further damage in the case of a failure.
Note: The fuse is not customer-accessible.

To avoid unwanted power losses, the CPD200/250 models are not protected against reverse polarity at the input by a serial diode, but
only with an antiparallel diode. In the case of reversed input voltage, the input fuse will blow; however no further damage will occur.
The CPD500 models are protected against reverse polarity by a special circuitry, which generates no losses. The converter will
simply not start-up, but no damage will occur.
The CPA Series converters are designed for AC input and have a rectifier bridge on the input.
Input Current Limitation
All converters incorporate an active inrush current limiter in the input circuitry, which reduces the peak inrush current value by a
factor of 10 – 15 to protect connectors and switching devices from damage.
Note: The inrush current limitation is achieved using electronic circuitry. For effective limitation the converter should not be switched on and
off more frequently than every 8 seconds.
Input Undervoltage Shutdown
CPD200/250 models start at approx. Vi = 22 V, when the input voltage is applied; at decreasing Vi, they switch off at approx. 21 V.
Note: The input current I i may exceed I i max, if Vi ≤ Vi min.
CPD500 models start at Vi = 35 V and switch off at Vi = 33 V.
CPA models exhibit an undervoltage trigger controlling start-up and shutdown. The threshold is between 80 and 90 VAC. See also
Power Fail Signal.
Note: CPA200/250 with version ≤ V116 should not be operated at Vi ≤Vi min, as these models have no undervoltage shutdown and will therefore
operate with a high input current at full load.
Efficiency
The efficiency is specified in table 1. Its dependence upon the input voltage Vi is shown in fig. 2a (CPA models) and fig. 2b (CPD500
models). The efficiency of CPD200/250 models depends only marginally upon Vi.

Compact PCI® CPA/CPD Series
200 – 550 Watt AC-DC and DC-DC Converters
Hold-up Time of CPD Models
For extended hold-up time of CPD models, use external output capacitors or decoupling diodes and input capacitors of adequate
size.
Formula for additional external input capacitor:
2 • Po • (t h total – th) • 100
Ci ext = –––––––––––––––––––––
η • (Vti 2 – Vi min2)
whereas:
C i ext = external input capacitance [mF]
Po
= output power [W]
η
= efficiency [%]
th total = total hold-up time [ms]
t h
= hold-up time [ms]
Vi min = minimum input voltage [V]
Vti
= threshold level [V]
Note: After Vi was removed, the outputs maintain their voltage for the time t h. Even if Vi comes back during t h, but after th, the output voltage
might be affected.
Redundant Operation and Hot Swap
Due to the integrated ORing FETs/diodes, the converters are designed to be operated in redundant systems.
Hot swap is also possible, but the output voltages of each bus may deviate dynamically by ≤5% during the plug-in / plug-out
operation.
Note: We recommend connecting some capacitors parallel to the bus to limit voltage deviations during hot swapping and during switch-on /
switch-off of the input voltage of one of the parallel-connected converters.
Output Characteristic and Protection
All outputs are fully protected against continuous open-circuit (no load) and continuous short-circuit conditions.
All outputs of CPx200/250 models have a constant current limitation with a rectangular characteristic; see figure 3. In addition, the
total power from outputs Vo1, Vo2, and Vo3 is limited to Po max, resulting in a free choice of load distribution between these outputs.
Output Vo4 is disabled in the case of overtemperature generated by overcurrent.
In CPA500/550 and CPD500 models, the total power of all four outputs is limited to Po max.
In all models, all outputs are monitored for an overvoltage condition. If an overvoltage of 120 – 130% is detected, the converter is
permanently disabled. To reset, the input voltage must be removed for 10 – 20 seconds.
Note: The models CPA500/550 with version number before V110 need approx. 60 s to recover.

200 – 550 Watt AC-DC and DC-DC Converters
Thermal Considerations and Protection
If a converter is mounted in the upright position with airflow as specified in the general conditions of the tables 4 and 5, allowing
unrestricted forced-air cooling, and is operated at its nominal input voltage and power at maximum ambient temperature TA max (see
Temperatures), the temperature at the measurement point of the case temperature TC (see Mechanical Data) will approach after
an initial warm-up phase the indicated maximum value of TC max (105 °C). However, the relationship between TA and TC depends
heavily on the operating conditions and the system integration. The thermal conditions are significantly influenced by the input
voltage, the output current, the airflow, and the temperature of the adjacent elements and surfaces. TA max is therefore, contrary to
TC max , an indicative value only.
Caution: The installer must ensure that under all operating conditions TC remains within the limits shown in the diagrams fig. 4.

Note: Forced-air cooling (or an additional heat sink on customer-specific models) can improve the reliability or allow for higher TA, as shown
in the diagrams fig. 4, but TC max shall never be exceeded.
A temperature sensor fitted on the main PCB provides approx. 20 °C below TC max a warning signal (DEG#), at which the control
logic begins to reduce the output power. The output power returns to the normal value, when the temperature drops back below
this limit; see Temperature Warning and Shutdown.

Output Filter
The output ripple voltage can be reduced by an external filter to less then 5 mVpp. Recommended values:
• C1, C2: Low ESR capacitor, e.g., OS-CON 100 – 470 µF
• L1, L2: Choke 1 – 4.7 µH with appropriate rated current, e.g., Coiltronics® HC2LP 1 µH /33 A or 2.2 µH /24 A.

Auxiliary Functions
Inhibit and Enable
The inhibit input INH# enables (logic high) or disables (logic low, pull down) all outputs, when a logic signal (TTL, CMOS) is
applied. In systems consisting of several converters this feature may be used to control the activation sequence of the converters
or to enable the source to start-up, before full load is applied. When INH# is low, the converter cannot be activated by the EN# pin
Note: If this function is not used, the inhibit pin 39 can be left open-circuit (not connected). If pin 39 is connected to a return pin (e.g. pin 22),
the internal logic will disable all outputs. The inhibit input is protected by a decoupling diode.
EN# (pin 27) is CMOS-compatible. However, we recommend to connect it directly with a return pin (e.g. pin 22) to enable the
converter. Pin 27 is shorter than the others, ensuring start-up only, after all other pins were connected to the system. This provides
true hot-swap capability.
Note: When a CPA or CPD500 converter is disabled by INH# and/or EN #, the PFC booster remains active, keeping the boost capacitor Cb
(fig. 1) charged. As a result, there is no inrush current at restart.
Note: When a CPD 500/550 converter is disabled, on outputs 3 and 4 may appear a little voltage under no-load condition. This can be avoided
by a small preload.

Temperature Warning and Shutdown
A temperature warning circuitry monitors the case temperature TC. Its output signal V DEG# changes from high to low impedance,
when the TC exceeds the upper threshold level, and changes back to high impedance, when TC falls below the lower threshold
level, which is 85 °C ± 5 °C.
Pin 38 (degrade signal DEG#) is internally connected via the collector-emitter path of an NPN transistor to the signal return pin 22.
The current IDEG# through pin 38 should not exceed 40 mA, and VDEG# should not exceed 40 V.
If TC exceeds 105 °C, the converter will be disabled. It resumes operation automatically, once TC falls below 105 °C.

Operation at >60 Hz and Leakage Currents
Operation up to 440 Hz is possible, but the X and Y caps are not safety-approved to this frequency. The efficiency decreases by
approx. 2%, and the leakage currents are proportional higher.
Protection Degree and Cleaning Liquids
The converters correspond to protection degree IP 20, provided that the female connector is fitted.
The power supplies are not hermetically sealed. In order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of cleaning and other fluids
shall be avoided.
Safety of Operator-Accessible Output Circuits
If the output circuit of a converter is operator- accessible, it shall be an ES1 circuit according to the IEC/EN 62368-1 related safety
standards.
However, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure the compliance with the relevant and applicable local safety regulations
Options
L: Output Current Latch
All CPA/CPD models exhibit a latching shutdown, which is activated if only one output voltage is too high; see Output Characteristic
and Protection.
If option L is fitted, this latch is as well activated, if the current limit of one output is exceeded for approx. 0.5 s.
A: Face Plate without Logo
No logo is not printed to the front plate.
F: Built-in Second Fuse
Available for CPA500 models only. A 2nd fuse in the neutral input line provides safe phase to phase connection at low mains
voltages (e.g., USA 120/208 V / 60 Hz systems).
The built-in second fuse enables safe connection to the mains, where phase and neutral line are not defined, as e.g., in the case
of plug and socket connection to the mains via German Schuko-plugs; see also Safety and Installation Instructions.
C: Protective Lacquer
All boards are covered by a protective lacquer.
G: RoHS
RoHS-compliant for all six substances. This feature is standard.
