Description
The HBC48T25120 power module is an open frame half-brick DC-DC converter providing a regulated and isolated
output voltage of 12.0 VDC with an output current up to 25 A suitable for today’s Distributed Power Architecture
applications. It offers outstanding thermal performance in high temperature environments.
This performance is accomplished through the use of patented/patent-pending circuits, packaging, and processing
techniques to achieve ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal management, and a low mechanical profile.
This low-body profile minimizes impedance to system airflow, thereby enhancing cooling for both upstream and
downstream devices. For extended cooling purposes, a baseplate option is available. Attaching a heat sink or cold
plate further enhances the unit’s capability. The use of 100% automation for assembly, coupled with advanced
electronic circuits and thermal design, results in a product with extremely high reliability.
Operating from a 36-75 V input, the HBC48T25120 converter provides an output that can be trimmed from –20%
to +10% of the nominal output voltage, thereby providing outstanding design flexibility.

Operations
Input and Output Impedance
These power converters have been designed to be
stable with no external capacitors when used in low
inductance input and output circuits.
In many applications, the inductance associated with
the distribution from the power source to the input of
the converter can affect the stability of the converter.
The addition of a 100 µF electrolytic capacitor with
an ESR < 1 Ω across the input helps to ensure
stability of the converter. In many applications, the
user has to use decoupling capacitance at the load.
The power converter will exhibit stable operation with
external load capacitance up to 15,000 µF on the
output.
The device must be capable of sinking up to 0.2 mA
at a low level voltage of 0.8 V. An external voltage
source (±20 V maximum) may be connected directly
to the ON/OFF input, in which case it must be
capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1 mA depending
on the signal polarity. See the Startup Information
section for system timing waveforms associated with
use of the ON/OFF pin.
Remote Sense (Pins 6 and 8)
The remote sense feature of the converter
compensates for voltage drops occurring between
the output pins of the converter and the load. The
SENSE(-) (Pin 6) and SENSE(+) (Pin 8) pins should
be connected at the load or at the point where
regulation is required (see Fig. B).
Additionally, see the EMC section of this data sheet
for discussion of other external components which
may be required for control of conducted emissions.
ON/OFF (Pin 2)
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter
on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two
remote control options available, positive and
negative logic, with both referenced to Vin(-). A
typical connection is shown in Fig. A.

The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF
pin is at a logic high and turns off when at a logic
low. The converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left
open. See the Electrical Specifications for logic
high/low definitions.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is
at a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a logic
high. The ON/OFF pin can be hardwired directly to
Vin(-) to enable automatic power up of the converter
without the need of an external control signal.
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled up to 5 VDC
through a resistor. A properly de-bounced
mechanical switch, open-collector transistor, or FET
can be used to drive the input of the ON/OFF pin.
MCD10127 Rev. 1.1, 09-Jun-10
If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE(-) pin must be
connected to the Vout(-) pin (Pin 5), and the SENSE(+) pin must
be connected to the Vout(+) pin (Pin 9) to ensure the converter
will regulate at the specified output voltage. If these connections
are not made, the converter will deliver an output voltage that is
slightly higher than the specified data sheet value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current,
large traces on the end-user board are not required.
However, sense traces should be run side by side
and located close to a ground plane to minimize
system noise and ensure optimum performance.
The converter’s output overvoltage protection (OVP)
circuitry senses the voltage across Vout(+) and
Vout(-), and not across the +/- sense lines, so the
resistance (and resulting voltage drop) between the
output pins of the converter and the load should be
minimized to prevent unwanted triggering of the
OVP.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must
be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable
output power capability of the converter, which is
equal to the product of the nominal output voltage
and the allowable output current for the given
conditions.

36-75 VDC Input; 12 VDC @ 25 A Output
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the
converter can be increased by as much as 10%
above the nominal rating in order to maintain the
required voltage across the load. Therefore, the
designer must, if necessary, decrease the maximum
current (originally obtained from the derating curves)
by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s
actual output power remains at or below the
maximum allowable output power.

Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 7)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down
20% relative to the rated output voltage by the
addition of an externally connected resistor. (Trim up
to 10% at full load is guaranteed at Vin ≥ 40V.)
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not
being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF
capacitor is connected internally between the TRIM
and SENSE(-) pin.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim
resistor, RT-INCR, should be connected between the
TRIM (Pin 7) and SENSE(+) (Pin 8), with a value of:

See the previous section for a complete discussion
of this requirement.
Trimming/sensing beyond 110% of the rated output
voltage is not an acceptable design practice, as this
condition could cause unwanted triggering of the
output overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit. The
designer should ensure that the difference between
the voltages across the converter’s output pins and
its sense pins does not exceed 110% of VOUT(NOM),
or:
[VOUT() VOUT()] [VSENSE() VSENSE()] VO - NOM X 10% [V]
This equation is applicable for any condition of

Protection Features
Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this
converter. The converter will shut down when the
input voltage drops below a pre-determined voltage.
The input voltage must be typically 34 V for the
converter to turn on. Once the converter has been
turned on, it will shut off when the input voltage
drops typically below 32 V. This feature is beneficial
in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.
Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The converter is protected against overcurrent or
short circuit conditions. Upon sensing an overcurrent
condition, the converter will switch to constant
current operation and thereby begin to reduce output
voltage. When the output voltage drops below 60%
of the nominal value of output voltage, the converter
will shut down.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to
restart nominally every 200 ms with a typical 3-5%
duty cycle. The attempted restart will continue
indefinitely until the overload or short circuit
conditions are removed or the output voltage rises
above 60% of its nominal value.
Once the output current is brought back into its
specified range, the converter automatically exits the
hiccup mode and continues normal operation.
The converter will shut down if the output voltage
across Vout(+) (Pin 9) and Vout(-) (Pin 5) exceeds
the threshold of the OVP circuitry. The OVP circuitry
contains its own reference voltage, independent of
the output voltage regulation loop. Once the
converter has shut down, it will latch off. The latch
can be reset by toggling the enable pin OFF then ON
or by recycling the input voltage.
Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
The converter will shut down under an
overtemperature condition to protect itself from
overheating caused by operation outside the thermal
derating curves, or operation in abnormal conditions
such as system fan failure. After the converter has
cooled to a safe operating temperature, it will
automatically restart.
Safety Requirements
The converters meet North American and
International safety regulatory requirements per
UL60950-1 and EN60950-1. Basic Insulation is
provided between input and output.
To comply with safety agencies’ requirements, an
input line fuse must be used external to the
converter. A 15 Amp fuse is recommended for use
with this product.
The HBC48T25120 converter is UL approved for a
maximum fuse rating of 15 Amps. To protect a group
of converters with a single fuse, the rating can be
increased from the recommended value above.

Characterization
General Information
The converter has been characterized for many
operational aspects, to include thermal derating
(maximum load current as a function of ambient
temperature and airflow) for horizontal mountings,
efficiency, startup and shutdown parameters, output
ripple and noise, transient response to load stepchange, overload, and short circuit.
Thermal Derating
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow
rates are given in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for horizontal
converter mountings, with and without baseplate
option. Ambient temperature was varied between 25
°C and 85 °C, with airflow rates from 30 to 400 LFM
(0.15 to 2.0 m/s). For each set of conditions, the
maximum load current was defined as the lowest of:
The following pages contain specific plots or
waveforms associated with the converter. Additional
comments for specific data are provided below.
(i)
Test Conditions
All data presented were taken with the converter
soldered to a test board, specifically a 0.060” thick
printed wiring board (PWB) with four layers. The top
and bottom layers were not metalized. The two inner
layers, comprised of two-ounce copper, were used to
provide traces for connectivity to the converter.
The lack of metallization on the outer layers as well
as the limited thermal connection ensured that heat
transfer from the converter to the PWB was
minimized. This provides a worst-case but consistent
scenario for thermal derating purposes.
All measurements requiring airflow were made in the
vertical and horizontal wind tunnel using Infrared (IR)
thermography and thermocouples for thermometry.
Ensuring components on the converter do not
exceed their ratings is important to maintaining high
reliability. If one anticipates operating the converter
at or close to the maximum loads specified in the
derating curves, it is prudent to check actual derating
temperatures in the application. Thermographic
imaging is preferable; if this capability is not
available, then thermocouples may be used. The use
of AWG #40 thermocouples is recommended to
ensure measurement accuracy. Careful routing of
the thermocouple leads will further minimize
measurement error. Refer to Fig. H and Fig. I for the
optimum thermocouple locations.
The output current at which any FET junction
temperature does not exceed a maximum
specified temperature of 125 °C as indicated by
a thermocouple measurement, or
(ii) The output current at which the base plate
temperature does not exceed a maximum
specified temperature of 110 °C as indicated by
thermocouple measure, or
(iii) The nominal rating of the converter (25 A).
During normal operation, derating curves with
maximum FET temperature less or equal to 125 °C
should not be exceeded. Temperature at the
thermocouple location shown in Fig. H and I should
not exceed 125 °C and 110°C respectively in order
to operate inside the derating curves.
Efficiency
Fig. 3 shows the efficiency vs. load current plot for
an ambient temperature of 25 ºC, airflow rate of 300
LFM (1.5 m/s) with horizontal mounting and input
voltages of 36 V, 48 V and 72 V. Also, a plot of
efficiency vs. load current, as a function of ambient
temperature with Vin = 48 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM
(1 m/s) with vertical mounting is shown in Fig. 4.
Power Dissipation

plot for Ta = 25 ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5 m/s)
with vertical mounting and input voltages of 36 V, 48

current, as a function of ambient temperature with
Vin = 48 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) with
vertical mounting is shown in Fig. 6.
