It will persist in this behavior until VIN is no longer present. +OUT, -OUT Output power pins. If trim is active when the DCM is operating, the TR pin provides dynamic trim control at a typical 30 Hz of -3dB bandwidth over the output voltage. TR also decreases the current limit threshold when trimming above VOUT-NOM. EN (Enable) This pin enables and disables the DCM converter; when held low the unit will be disabled. It is referenced to the -IN pin of the converter. The EN pin has an internal pull-up to VCC through a 10 kΩ resistor. FT (Fault) n Output enable: When EN is allowed to pull up above the enable The FT pin provides a Fault signal. threshold, the module will be enabled. If leaving EN floating, it is pulled up to VCC and the module will be enabled. Anytime the module is enabled and has not recognized a fault, the FT pin is inactive. FT has an internal 499 kΩ pull-up to Vcc, therefore a shunt resistor, RSHUNT, of approximately 50 kΩ can be used to ensure the LED is completly off when there is no fault, per the diagram below. n Output disable: EN may be pulled down externally in order to disable the module. n EN is an input only, it does not pull low in the event of a fault. n The EN pins of multiple units should be driven high concurrently Whenever the powertrain stops (due to a fault protection or disabling the module by pulling EN low), the FT pin becomes active and provides current to drive an external circuit. to permit the array to start in to maximum rated load. However, the direct interconnection of multiple EN pins requires additional considerations, as discussed in the section on Array Operation. When active, FT pin drives to VCC, with up to 4 mA of external loading. Module may be damaged from an over-current FT drive, thus a resistor in series for current limiting is recommended. TR (Trim) The TR pin is used to select the trim mode and to trim the output voltage of the DCM converter. The TR pin has an internal pull-up to VCC through a 10.0 kΩ resistor. The FT pin becomes active momentarily when the module starts up.

This term permits improved thermal balancing among modules in an array, especially when the factory nominal trim point is utilized (trim mode inactive). This term is much smaller than the load line described above, representing only a -3.73 mV/°C change. Regulation coefficient is relative to 25°C. Building Blocks and System Design The DCM™ converter input accepts the full 160 to 420 V range, and it generates an isolated trimmable 28.0 Vdc output. Multiple DCMs may be paralleled for higher power capacity via wireless load sharing, even when they are operating off of different input voltage supplies. For nominal trim and full load, the output voltage relates to the temperature according to the following equation: The DCM converter provides a regulated output voltage around defined nominal load line and temperature coefficients. The load line and temperature coefficients enable configuration of an array of DCM converters which manage the output load with no share bus among modules. Downstream regulators may be used to provide tighter voltage regulation, if required. VOUT-FL = 28.0 -3.733 • 0.001 • (TINT - 25) where TINT is in °C. The DCM4623xD2K31E0yzz may be used in standalone applications where the output power requirements are up to 500 W. However, it is easily deployed as arrays of modules to increase power handling capacity. Arrays of up to eight units have been qualified for 4000 W capacity. Application of DCM converters in an array requires no derating of the maximum available power versus what is specified for a single module. The impact of temperature coefficient on the output voltage is absolute, and does not scale with trim or load. Trim Mode and Output Trim Control When the input voltage is initially applied to a DCM, and after tINIT elapses, the trim pin voltage VTR is sampled. The TR pin has an internal pull up resistor to VCC, so unless external circuitry pulls the pin voltage lower, it will pull up to VCC. If the initially sampled trim pin voltage is higher than VTRIM-DIS, then the DCM will disable trimming as long as the VIN remains applied. In this case, for all subsequent operation the output voltage will be programmed to the nominal. This minimizes the support components required for applications that only require the nominal rated Vout, and also provides the best output setpoint accuracy, as there are no additional errors from external trim components Note: For more information on operation of single DCM, refer to “Single DCM as an Isolated, Regulated DC-DC Converter” application note AN:029. Soft Start When the DCM starts, it will go through a soft start. The soft start routine ramps the output voltage by modulating the internal error amplifier reference. This causes the output voltage to approximate a piecewise linear ramp. The output ramp finishes when the voltage reaches either the nominal output voltage, or the trimmed output voltage in cases where trim mode is active. If at initial application of VIN, the TR pin voltage is prevented from exceeding VTRIM-EN, then the DCM will activate trim mode, and it will remain active for as long as VIN is applied. During soft-start, the maximum load current capability is reduced. Until Vout achieves at least VOUT-FL-THRESH, the output current must be less than IOUT-START in order to guarantee startup. Note that this is current available to the load, above that which is required to charge the output capacitor. VOUT set point under full load and room temperature can be calculated using the equation below: VOUT-FL @ 25°C = 11.64 + (21.909 • VTR/VCC) (3) Note that the trim mode is not changed when a DCM recovers from any fault condition or being disabled. Nominal Output Voltage Load Line Throughout this document, the programmed output voltage, (either the specified nominal output voltage if trim is inactive or the trimmed output voltage if trim is active), is specified at full load, and at room temperature. The actual output voltage of the DCM is given by the programmed trimmed output voltage, with modification based on load and temperature. The nominal output voltage is 28.0 V, and the actual output voltage will match this at full load and room temperature with trim inactive. Module performance is guaranteed through output voltage trim range VOUT-TRIMMING. If VOUT is trimmed above this range, then certain combinations of line and load transient conditions may trigger the output OVP. Overall Output Voltage Transfer Function Taking load line (equation 1), temperature coefficient (equation 2) and trim (equation 3) into account, the general equation relating the DC VOUT to programmed trim (when active), load, and temperature is given by: The largest modification to the actual output voltage compared to the programmed output is due to the 5.263% VOUT-NOM load line, which for this model corresponds to ΔVOUT-LOAD of 1.4736V. As the load is reduced, the internal error amplifier reference, and by extension the output voltage, rises in response. This load line is the primary enabler of the wireless current sharing amongst an array of DCMs. VOUT = 11.64 + (21.909 • VTR/VCC) + 1.4736 • (1 - IOUT / 17.86) -3.733 • 0.001 • (TINT -25) + ∆VOUT-LL (4) Finally, note that when the load current is below 10% of the rated capacity, there is an additional ∆V which may add to the output voltage, depending on the line voltage which is related to light load boosting. Please see the section on light load boosting below for details. The load line impact on the output voltage is absolute, and does not scale with programmed trim voltage. For a given programmed output voltage, the actual output voltage versus load current at for nominal trim and room temperature is given by the following equation: VOUT @ 25° = 28.0 + 1.4736 • (1 - IOUT / 17.86) (2) Use 0 V for ∆VOUT-LL when load is above 10% of rated load.

The current limit approximates a “brick wall” limit, where the output current is prevented from exceeding the current limit threshold by reducing the output voltage via the internal error amplifier reference. The current limit threshold at nominal trim and below is typically 120% of rated output current, but it can vary between 100% to 133%. In order to preserve the SOA, when the converter is trimmed above the nominal output voltage, the current limit threshold is automatically reduced to limit the available output power. possible input voltage) n Ambient temperature n Breaking capacity per application requirements n Nominal melting I2t n Recommended fuse: See Agency Approvals for Recommended Fuse http://www.vicorpower.com/dc-dc/isolatedregulated/dcm#Documentation Fault Handling Input Undervoltage Fault Protection (UVLO) The converter’s input voltage is monitored to detect an input under voltage condition. If the converter is not already running, then it will ignore enable commands until the input voltage is greater than VIN-UVLO+. If the converter is running and the input voltage falls below VIN-UVLO-, the converter recognizes a fault condition, the powertrain stops switching, and the output voltage of the unit falls. When the output current exceeds the current limit threshold, current limit action is held off by 1ms, which permits the DCM to momentarily deliver higher peak output currents to the load. Peak output power during this time is still constrained by the internal Power Limit of the module. The fast Power Limit and relatively slow Current Limit work together to keep the module inside the SOA. Delaying entry into current limit also permits the DCM to minimize droop voltage for load steps. Input voltage transients which fall below UVLO for less than tUVLO may not be detected by the fault proection logic, in which case the converter will continue regular operation. No protection is required in this case. Sustained operation in current limit is permitted, and no derating of output power is required, even in an array configuration. Some applications may benefit from well matched current distribution, in which case fine tuning sharing via the trim pins permits control over sharing. The DCM does not require this for proper operation, due to the power limit and current limit behaviors described here. Once the UVLO fault is detected by the fault protection logic, the converter shuts down and waits for the input voltage to rise above VIN-UVLO+. Provided the converter is still enabled, it will then restart. Input Overvoltage Fault Protection (OVLO) The converter’s input voltage is monitored to detect an input over voltage condition. When the input voltage is more than the VIN-OVLO+, a fault is detected, the powertrain stops switching, and the output voltage of the converter falls. Current limit can reduce the output voltage to as little as the UVP threshold (VOUT-UVP). Below this minimum output voltage compliance level, further loading will cause the module to shut down due to the output undervoltage fault protection. After an OVLO fault occurs, the converter will wait for the input voltage to fall below VIN-OVLO-. Provided the converter is still enabled, the powertrain will restart. Line Impedance, Input Slew rate and Input Stability Requirements Connect a high-quality, low-noise power supply to the +IN and –IN terminals. Additional capacitance may have to be added between +IN and –IN to make up for impedances in the interconnect cables as well as deficiencies in the source. The powertrain controller itself also monitors the input voltage. Transient OVLO events which have not yet been detected by the fault sequence logic may first be detected by the controller if the input slew rate is sufficiently large. In this case, powertrain switching will immediately stop. If the input voltage falls back in range before the fault sequence logic detects the out of range condition, the powertrain will resume switching and the fault logic will not interrupt operation Regardless of whether the powertrain is running at the time or not, if the input voltage does not recover from OVLO before tOVLO, the converter fault logic will detect the fault. Excessive source impedance can bring about system stability issues for a regulated DC-DC converter, and must either be avoided or compensated by filtering components. A 1 µF input capacitor is the minimum recommended in case the source impedance is insufficient to satisfy stability requirements. Additional information can be found in the filter design application note: www.vicorpower.com/documents/application_notes/vichip_appnote23.pdf Output Undervoltage Fault Protection (UVP) The converter determines that an output overload or short circuit condition exists by measuring its primary sensed output voltage and the output of the internal error amplifier. In general, whenever the powertrain is switching and the primary-sensed output voltage falls below VOUT-UVP threshold, a short circuit fault will be registered. Once an output undervoltage condition is detected, the powertrain immediately stops switching, and the output voltage of the converter falls. The converter remains disabled for a time tFAULT. Once recovered and provided the converter is still enabled, the powertrain will again enter the soft start sequence after tINIT and tON. Please refer to this input filter design tool to ensure input stability: http://app2.vicorpower.com/filterDesign/intiFilter.do. Ensure that the input voltage slew rate is less than 1V/us, otherwise a pre-charge circuit is required for the DCM input to control the input voltage slew rate and prevent overstress to input stage components. Input Fuse Selection The DCM is not internally fused in order to provide flexibility in configuring power systems. Input line fusing is recommended at the system level, in order to provide thermal protection in case of catastrophic failure. The fuse shall be selected by closely matching system requirements with the following characteristics: Temperature Fault Protections (OTP) The fault logic monitors the internal temperature of the converter. If the measured temperature exceeds TINT-OTP, a temperature fault is registered. As with the under voltage fault protection, once a n Current rating (usually greater than the DCM converter’s maximum current) DCM™ DC-DC Converter Rev 1.5 Page 19 of 25 10/2020 DCM4623xD2K31E0yzz The ChiP package provides a high degree of flexibility in that it presents three pathways to remove heat from internal power dissipating components. Heat may be removed from the top surface, the bottom surface and the leads. The extent to which these three surfaces are cooled is a key component for determining the maximum power that is available from a ChiP, as can be seen from Figure 20. temperature fault is registered, the powertrain immediately stops switching, the output voltage of the converter falls, and the converter remains disabled for at least time tFAULT. Then, the converter waits for the internal temperature to return to below TINT-OTP before recovering. Provided the converter is still enabled, the DCM will restart after tINIT and tON. Output Overvoltage Fault Protection (OVP) The converter monitors the output voltage during each switching cycle by a corresponding voltage reflected to the primary side control circuitry. If the primary sensed output voltage exceeds VOUT-OVP, the OVP fault protection is triggered. The control logic disables the powertrain, and the output voltage of the converter falls. Since the ChiP has a maximum internal temperature rating, it is necessary to estimate this internal temperature based on a real thermal solution. Given that there are three pathways to remove heat from the ChiP, it is helpful to simplify the thermal solution into a roughly equivalent circuit where power dissipation is modeled as a current source, isothermal surface temperatures are represented as voltage sources and the thermal resistances are represented as resistors. Figure 20 shows the "thermal circuit" for a 4623 ChiP DCM, in an application where both case top and case bottom, and leads are cooled. In this case, the DCM power dissipation is PDTOTAL and the three surface temperatures are represented as TCASE_TOP, TCASE_BOTTOM, and TLEADS. This thermal system can now be very easily analyzed with simple resistors, voltage sources, and a current source. This type of fault is latched, and the converter will not start again until the latch is cleared. Clearing the fault latch is achieved by either disabling the converter via the EN pin, or else by removing the input power such that the input voltage falls below VIN-INIT. External Output Capacitance The DCM converter internal compensation requires a minimum external output capacitor. An external capacitor in the range of 200 to 2000 µF with ESR of 10 mΩ is required, per DCM for control loop compensation purposes. This analysis provides an estimate of heat flow through the various pathways as well as internal temperature. However some DCM models require an increase to the minimum external output capacitor value in certain loading and trim condition. In applications where the load can go below 10% of rated load but the output trim is held constant, the range of output capacitor required is given by COUT-EXT-TRANS in the Electrical Specifications table. If the load can go below 10% of rated load and the DCM output trim is also dynamically varied, the range of output capacitor required is given by COUT-EXT-TRANS-TRIM in the Electrical Specifications table. Thermal Resistance Top MAX INTERNAL TEMP θINT-TOP°C / W Thermal Resistance Bottom Thermal Resistance Leads θINT-BOTTOM°C / W Power Dissipation (W) Light Load Boosting Under light load conditions, the DCM converter may operate in light load boosting depending on the line voltage. Light load boosting occurs whenever the internal power consumption of the converter combined with the external output load is less than the minimum power transfer per switching cycle. In order to maintain regulation, the error amplifier will switch the powertrain off and on repeatedly, to effectively lower the average switching frequency, and permit operation with no external load. During the time when the power train is off, the module internal consumption is significantly reduced, and so there is a notable reduction in no-load input power in light load boosting. When the load is less than 10% of rated Iout, the output voltage may rise by a maximum of 2.95 V, above the output voltage calculated from trim, temperature, and load line conditions.

Thermal Design Based on the safe thermal operating area shown in page 5, the full rated power of the DCM4623xD2K31E0yzz can be processed provided that the top, bottom, and leads are all held below 77°C. These curves highlight the benefits of dual sided thermal management, but also demonstrate the flexibility of the Vicor ChiP platform for customers who are limited to cooling only the top or the bottom surface. Thermal Resistance Top θINT-TOP°C / W Thermal Resistance Bottom θINT-BOTTOM°C / W Power Dissipation (W) The OTP sensor is located on the top side of the internal PCB structure.

Load sharing is functionally managed by the load line. Thermal balancing is improved by the nominal effective temperature coefficient of the output voltage setpoint. DCMs in current limit will operate with higher output current or power than the rated levels. Therefore the following Thermal Safe Operating Area plot should be used for array use, or loads that drive the DCM in to current limit for sustained operation.
