Power Factor Correction
The module provides power factor correction over worldwide AC
mains. For most static loads, PFC approaches unity, see Figure 18.
Load transients that approach the line frequency should be filtered
or avoided as these may reduce PFC.

Figure 23 — 300W universal AC-to-DC supply
The AC Front End is a high efficiency AC-to-DC converter,
operating from a universal AC input to generate an isolated SELV
48VDC output bus with power factor correction. It is the key
component of an AC-to-DC power supply system such as the one
shown in Figure 23 above.
The input to the AC Front End is a sinusoidal AC source with
a power factor maintained by the module with harmonics
conforming to IEC 61000-3-2. Internal filtering enables compliance
with the standards relevant to the application (Surge, EMI, etc.).
See EMI/EMC Compliance standards on page 16.
The module uses secondary-side energy storage (at the SELV
48V bus) and optional PRM™ regulators to maintain output hold
up through line dropouts and brownouts. Downstream regulators
also provide tighter voltage regulation, if required.
The FE175D480C033FP-00 is designed for standalone operation;
however, it may be part of a system that is paralleled by
downstream DC-DC converters. Contact Vicor Sales or refer to
our www.vicorpower.com, regarding new models that can be
paralleled directly for higher power applications.
Traditional PFC Topology
The AC Front End is not internally fused in order to provide
flexibility in configuring power systems. Input line fusing is
recommended at system level, in order to provide thermal
protection in case of catastrophic failure. The fuse shall be selected

Fault Handling
Input Undervoltage (UV) Fault Protection
The AC Front End’s input voltage is monitored by the
microcontroller to detect an input undervoltage condition. When
the input voltage is less than the VIN-UVLO–, a fault is detected, the
fault latch and reset logic disables the modulator, the modulator
stops powertrain switching, and the output voltage of the unit
falls. After a time tUVLO, the unit shuts down. Faults lasting less
than tUVLO may not be detected. Such a fault does not go through
an auto-restart cycle. Once the input voltage rises above VIN-UVLO+,
the unit recovers from the input UV fault, the powertrain resumes
normal switching after a time tON and the output voltage of the
unit reaches the set-point voltage within a time tSS.

Figure 24 — Traditional PFC AC-to-DC supply
To cope with input voltages across worldwide AC mains
(85 – 264VAC), traditional AC-DC power supplies (Figure 24)
use two power conversion stages: 1) a PFC boost stage to step
up from a rectified input as low as 85VAC to ~380VDC; and 2) a
DC‑DC down converter from 380VDC to a 12V bus. The efficiency
of the boost stage and of traditional power supplies is significantly
compromised operating from worldwide AC lines as low as 85VAC.
Adaptive Cell™ Topology
With its single-stage Adaptive Cell topology, the AC Front End
enables consistently high-efficiency conversion from worldwide AC
mains to a 48V bus and efficient secondary-side power distribution.
The unit’s output current, determined by VEAO, VIN-B and
the primary-side-sensed output voltage is monitored by the
microcontroller to detect an output OC condition. If the output
current exceeds its current limit, a fault is detected, the reset logic
disables the modulator, the modulator stops powertrain switching,
and the output voltage of the module falls after a time tOC. As
long as the fault persists, the module goes through an auto-restart
cycle with off time equal to tOFF + tON and on time equal to tOC.
Faults shorter than a time tOC may not be detected. Once the
fault is cleared, the module follows its normal start up sequence
after a time tOFF.
Short Circuit (SC) Fault Protection
The microcontroller determines a short circuit on the output of
the unit by measuring its primary sensed output voltage. Most
commonly, a drop in the primary-sensed output voltage triggers
a short circuit event. The module responds to a short circuit event
within a time tSC. The module then goes through an auto restart
cycle, with an off time equal to tOFF + tON and an on time equal to
tSC, for as long as the short circuit fault condition persists. Once the
fault is cleared, the unit follows its normal start up sequence after a
time toff. Faults shorter than a time tSC may not be detected.

Temperature Fault Protection
Output Filtering
The microcontroller monitors the temperature within the
AC Front End. If this temperature exceeds TJ-OTP+, an
overtemperature fault is detected, the reset logic block disables
the modulator, the modulator stops the powertrain switching
and the output voltage of the AC Front End falls. Once the case
temperature falls below TCASE-OTP–, after a time greater than or
equal to toff, the converter recovers and undergoes a normal
restart. For the C-Grade version of the converter, this temperature
is 75°C. Faults shorter than a time totp may not be detected. If
the temperature falls below TCASE-UTP–, an undertemperature fault
is detected, the reset logic disables the modulator, the modulator
stops powertrain switching and the output voltage of the unit
falls. Once the case temperature rises above TCASE-UTP, after a time
greater than or equal to tOFF, the unit recovers and undergoes a
normal restart.
The AC Front End module requires an output bulk capacitor
in the range of 6,000 – 12,000µF for proper operation of
the PFC front end.
The output voltage has the following two components of
voltage ripple:
1) Line frequency voltage ripple: 2 • fLINE Hz component

The microcontroller monitors the primary sensed output voltage to

modulator stops powertrain switching, and the output voltage
of the module falls after a time tsovp. Faults shorter than a time
tSOVP may not be detected. This type of fault is a latched fault and
requires that 1) the EN pin be toggled or 2) the input power be
recycled to recover from the fault.

The AC Front End with PFC is designed such that it will comply with
EN55022 Class B for Conducted Emissions with the filter connected
across –IN and GND as shown in Figure 25. The emissions spectrum
is shown in Figures 12 – 15. If one of the outputs is connected to
earth ground, a small (single turn) output common mode choke
is also required.

IPK

In certain applications, the choice of bulk capacitance may be

from the following equation:

Thermal management of internally dissipated heat should maximize
heat removed from the baseplate surface, since the baseplate
represents the lowest aggregate thermal impedance to internal
components. The baseplate temperature should be maintained
below 100°C. Cooling of the system PCB should be provided
to keep the leads below 100°C, and to control maximum PCB
temperatures in the area of the module.
Powering a Constant Power Load
Switching Frequency Filtering
Some applications require the output filtering shown in Figure 25
to meet radiated emissions limits. In such a situation, the output
switching ripple shown in Figure 5 should be expected at the
output of the filter. In cases where other means are used to control
radiated emissions, and more ripple can be tolerated, the output
filter can be simplified by removal of the common mode inductor,
and C5, which is used to reduce the Q of the LC resonant tank.
Output switching frequency voltage ripple is the function of the
output bypass ceramic capacitor. Output bypass ceramic capacitor
values should be calculated based on switching frequency voltage
ripple. Normally bypass capacitors with low ESR are used with a
sufficient voltageQrating.

When the output voltage of the AC Front End module is applied
to the input of the PRM™ regulator, the regulator turns on and
acts as a constant-power load. When the module’s output voltage
reaches the input undervoltage turn on of the regulator, the
regulator will attempt to start. However, the current demand of the
PRM regulator at the undervoltage turn-on point and the hold-up
capacitor charging current may force the AC Front End into current
limit. In this case, the unit may shut down and restart repeatedly.
In order to prevent this multiple restart scenario, it is necessary to
delay enabling a constant-power load when powered up by the
upstream AC to 48V front end until after the output set point of
the AC Front End is reached.
This can be achieved by

2) Turning the downstream constant-power load on after the
output voltage of the module reaches 48V steady state.
After the initial start up, the output of the AC Front End can be
allowed to fall to 30V during a line dropout at full load. In this
case, the circuit should not disable the PRM regulator if the input
voltage falls after it is turned on; therefore, some form of hysteresis
or latching is needed on the enable signal for the constant power
load. The output capacitance of the AC Front End should also be
sized appropriately for a constant power load to prevent collapse
of the output voltage of the module during line dropout (see
Hold-Up Capacitance on page 18). A constant-power load can be
turned off after completion of the required hold up time during
the power‑down sequence or can be allowed to turn off when it
reaches its own undervoltage shut-down point.

Special care should be taken when enabling the constant-power
load near the auto-ranger threshold, especially with an inductive
source upstream of the AC Front End. A load current spike
may cause a large input voltage transient, resulting in a range
change which could temporarily reduce the available power
(see Adaptive Cell™ Topology below).
Adaptive Cell™ Topology
The Adaptive Cell topology utilizes magnetically coupled “top”
and “bottom” primary cells that are adaptively configured in series
or parallel by a configuration controller comprised of an array of
switches. A microcontroller monitors operating conditions and
defines the configuration of the top and bottom cells through a
range control signal.
FE175D480x033FP-00
Source Inductance Considerations
The AC Front End powertrain uses a unique Adaptive Cell Topology
that dynamically matches the powertrain architecture to the AC
line voltage. In addition the AC Front End uses a unique control
algorithm to reduce the AC line harmonics yet still achieve rapid
response to dynamic load conditions presented to it at the DC
output terminals. Given these unique power processing features,
the AC Front End can expose deficiencies in the AC line source
impedance that may result in unstable operation if ignored.
It is recommended that for a single AC Front End, the line source
inductance should be no greater than 1mH for a universal AC
input of 100 – 240V. If the AC Front End will be operated at 240V
nominal only, the source impedance may be increased to 2mH.
For either of the preceding operating conditions it is best to be
conservative and stay below the maximum source inductance
values. When multiple AC Front End’s are used on a single AC line,
the inductance should be no greater than 1mH/N, where N is the
number of AC Front End’s on the AC branch circuit, or 2mH/N
for 240VAC operation. It is important to consider all potential
sources of series inductance including and not limited to, AC
power distribution transformers, structure wiring inductance, AC
line reactors, and additional line filters. Non-linear behavior of
power distribution devices ahead of the AC Front End may further
reduce the maximum inductance and require testing to ensure
optimal performance.
If the AC Front End is to be utilized in large arrays, the AC Front
Ends should be spread across multiple phases or sources thereby
minimizing the source inductance requirements, or be operated
at a line voltage close to 240VAC. Vicor Applications should be
contacted to assist in the review of the application when multiple
devices are to be used in arrays.
A comparator inside the microcontroller monitors the line voltage
and compares it to an internal voltage reference.
If the input voltage of the AC Front End crosses above the positive
going cell reconfiguration threshold voltage, the output of the
comparator transitions, causing switches S1 and S2 to open and
switch S3 to close (see Functional Block Diagram on page 8). With
the top cell and bottom cell configured in series, the unit operates
in “high” range and input capacitances CIN-T and CIN-B are in series.
If the peak of input voltage of the unit falls below the
negative‑going range threshold voltage for two line cycles, the cell
configuration controller opens switch S3 and closes switches S1 and
S2. With the top cell and bottom cells configured in parallel, the
unit operates in “low” range and input capacitances CIN-T and CIN-B
are in parallel.
Power processing is held off while transitioning between ranges
and the output voltage of the unit may temporarily droop. External
output hold up capacitance should be sized to support power
delivery to the load during cell reconfiguration. The minimum
specified external output capacitance of 6,000µF is sufficient to
provide adequate ride-through during cell reconfiguration for
typical applications.
