Description
The HBC Series of high density bus converters convert a worldwide telecom bus voltage of 36 to 75VDC to a
12V bus at 25A. The output is ideal for powering non-isolated, point-of-load converters such as synchronous
buck converters used commonly in intermediate bus architectures.
The unit's open-frame, two-board construction provides ideal thermal transfer for maximum reliability. Power
devices are mounted on an Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) base plate with very low thermal impedance. The
control PCB is physically isolated from the hotter IMS board, providing lower overall component temperatures for
high reliability. The standard feature set includes remote on/off, remote output voltage sensing, positive output
trim, input undervoltage lockout, and overtemperature shutdown with hysteresis.

For output decoupling we recommend using a
10µF low ESR tantalum capacitor
(AVX TPSC106M025R0500 is used in our test
setup) and a 1µF ceramic capacitor. Note, that
the capacitors do not substitute the filtering
required by the load.

Efficiency Curves
The ON/OFF pin in the HBC Series converters
functions as a normal soft shutdown.
It is
referenced to the –Vin pin (see Figure 2). With
the positive logic, when the ON/OFF pin is pulled
low, the output is turned off and the unit goes into
a very low input power mode.

An open collector switch is recommended to
control the voltage between the ON/OFF pin and
the -Vin pin of the converter. The ON/OFF pin is
pulled up internally, so no external voltage source
is required. The user should avoid connecting a
resistor between the ON/OFF pin and the +Vin
pin.
When the ON/OFF pin is used to achieve remote
control, the user must take care to ensure that the
pin reference for the control is really the -Vin pin.
The control signal must not be referenced ahead
of EMI filtering, or remotely from the unit.
Optically coupling the information and locating the
optical coupler directly at the module will solve
any of these problems.
Note:
If the ON/OFF pin is not used, it can be left floating (positive
logic), or connected to the -Vin pin (negative logic).

With negative logic, when the ON/OFF pin is

The HBC Series converters do not require any external
components for proper operation. However, if the
distribution of the input voltage to the converter contains
significant inductance, the capacitor C1 may be
required to enhance performance of the converter. A
