General Information
Reliability
The failure rate (λ) and mean time between failures
(MTBF= 1/λ) is calculated at max output power and an
operating ambient temperature (TA) of +40°C. Flex Power
Modules uses Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 Method 1 to
calculate the mean steady-state failure rate and standard
deviation (σ).
Telcordia SR-332 Issue 3 also provides techniques to
estimate the upper confidence levels of failure rates based
on the mean and standard deviation.

or damage due to the following hazards:
•
•
•
•
•
•
3
Electrical shock
Energy hazards
Fire
Mechanical and heat hazards
Radiation hazards
Chemical hazards
On-board DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are
defined as component power supplies. As components
they cannot fully comply with the provisions of any safety
requirements without “conditions of acceptability”.
Clearance between conductors and between conductive
parts of the component power supply and conductors on
the board in the final product must meet the applicable
safety requirements. Certain conditions of acceptability
apply for component power supplies with limited stand-off
(see Mechanical Information and Safety Certificate for
further information). It is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure that the final product housing these components
complies with the requirements of all applicable safety
standards and regulations for the final product.
Component power supplies for general use should comply
with the requirements in IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 Safety of
Information Technology Equipment. Product related
standards, e.g. IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet, and
ETS-300132-2 Power interface at the input to telecom
equipment, operated by direct current (dc) are based on
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 with regards to safety.
Flex Power Modules DC/DC converters, Power interface
modules and DC/DC regulators are UL 60950-1 recognized
and certified in accordance with EN 60950-1. The
flammability rating for all construction parts of the products
meet requirements for V-0 class material according to
IEC 60695-11-10, Fire hazard testing, test flames – 50 W
horizontal and vertical flame test methods.
Non - isolated DC/DC regulators
The DC/DC regulator output is SELV if the input source
meets the requirements for SELV circuits according to
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1.

Note 1. There are configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
Note 2. A default value of 0 ms forces the device to Immediate Off behavior with TOFF_FALL ramp-down setting being ignored.
Note 3. The specified accuracy applies for off delay times larger than 4 ms. When setting 0 ms the actual delay will be 0 ms.
Note 4. Automatic restart ~280 ms after fault if the fault is no longer present. Continuous restart attempts if the fault reappear after restart. See Operating Information
for other fault response options.
Note 5. The set OCP limit applies per phase. The total OCP limit will be twice the set value. Note that higher OCP threshold than specified may result in damage of
the module at OC fault conditions.
Note 6. TSW is the switching period.

Power Management Overview
This product incorporates a wide range of configurable power
management features that are simple to implement with a
minimum of external components. Additionally, the product
includes protection features that continuously safeguard the
load from damage due to unexpected system faults.
The product’s standard configuration is suitable for a wide
range of operation in terms of input voltage, output voltage, and
load. The configuration is stored in an internal Non-Volatile
Memory (NVM). All power management functions can be
reconfigured using the PMBus interface.
Throughout this document, different PMBus commands are
referenced. A detailed description of each command is
provided in the appendix at the end of this specification.
The Flex Power Designer software suite can be used to
configure and monitor this product via the PMBus interface.

Operating Information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 7.5 - 14 V makes the product
easy to use in intermediate bus applications when powered
by a non-regulated bus converter or a regulated bus
converter.
Input Under Voltage Protection (IUVP)
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn-on and
turn-off at configured thresholds (see Electrical Specification).
The turn-on input voltage threshold is set higher than the
corresponding turn-off threshold. Hence, there is a hysteresis
between turn-on and turn-off input voltage levels. Once the
input voltage falls below the turn-off threshold, the device can
respond in several ways as follows:
1.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until
the fault is cleared by PMBus command CLEAR_FAULTS
or the output voltage is re-enabled.
2.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage while the input
voltage is below the turn-on threshold. Operation resumes
automatically and the output is enabled when the input
voltage has risen above the turn-on threshold.
The default response is option 2. The IUVP function can be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT (turn-off threshold),
VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT (turn-on threshold) and
VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
For products configured to operate in current sharing mode,
response option 1 will always be used, regardless of
VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE command settings.
Input Over Voltage Protection (IOVP)
The product monitors the input voltage continuously and will
respond as configured when the input voltage rises above the
configured threshold level (see Electrical Specification). Refer
to section “Input Under Voltage Protection” for functionality,
response configuration options and default setting.
The IOVP function can be reconfigured using the PMBus
commands VIN_OV_FAULT_LIMIT (turn-off threshold),
VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT (turn-on threshold) and
VIN_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the input source and the load will
interact with the impedance of the product. It is important that
the input source has low characteristic impedance. If the input
voltage source contains significant inductance, the addition of
a capacitor with low ESR at the input of the product will ensure
stable operation.
External Input Capacitors
The product is a two-phase converter which gives lower input
ripple than a single phase design, see picture below. Thus,
ripple-current-rating requirements for the input capacitors are
lower relatively to a single phase converter.
The input ripple RMS current in a two-phase buck converter
can be estimated to
I inputRMS = I load D(0.5 − D)
(valid for D < 0.5)
Where I load is the output load current and D is the duty cycle.
The maximum load ripple current becomes I load/4. The ripple
current is divided into three parts, i.e., currents in the input
source, external input capacitor, and internal input capacitor.
How the current is divided depends on the impedance of the
input source, ESR and capacitance values in the capacitors.
For most applications non-tantalum capacitors are preferred
due to the robustness of such capacitors to accommodate
high inrush currents of systems being powered from very low
impedance sources. It is recommended to use a combination
of ceramic capacitors and low-ESR electrolytic/polymer bulk
capacitors. The low ESR of ceramic capacitors effectively
limits the input ripple voltage level, while the bulk capacitance
minimizes deviations in the input voltage at large load
transients.
If several products are connected in a phase spreading setup
the amount of input ripple current, and capacitance per
product, can be reduced. The amount of input ripple current
for such setup can be estimated using the Flex Power
Designer software and capacitor selection can be made based
on this number.
Ceramic input capacitors must be placed close to the input
pins of a converter and with low impedance connections to the
VIN and GND pins in order to be effective.
External Output Capacitors
The output capacitor requirement depends on two
considerations; output ripple voltage and load transient
response. To achieve low ripple voltage, the output capacitor
bank must have a low ESR value, which is achieved with
ceramic output capacitors. A low ESR value is critical also for

a small output voltage deviation during load transients.
Designs with smaller load transients can use fewer capacitors
and designs with more dynamic load content will require more
load capacitors to minimize output voltage deviation. Improved
transient response can also be achieved by adjusting the
settings of the control loop of the product. Adding output
capacitance decreases loop band-width.
It is recommended to place low ESR ceramic and low ESR
electrolytic/polymer capacitors as close to the load as
possible, using several capacitors in parallel to lower the
effective ESR. It is important to use low resistance and low
inductance PCB layouts in order for capacitance to be
effective.
Optimization of output filter together with load step simulations
can be made using the Flex Power Designer software. See
application note AN321 for further guidelines on how to
choose and apply output capacitors.

and must not be used. A graph below illustrates the effect of
the residual factor on the recovery time after a load transient.
Note that also the gain factor will affect the recovery time.

Control Loop
The products use a fully digital control loop that achieves
precise control of the entire power conversion process,
resulting in a very flexible device that is also very easy to use.
The control loop utilizes oversampling of the output voltage
compared to the switching frequency, and a dual edge
modulation PWM, to minimize the delay in the control loop.
The actual duty cycle is updated after each sample within
each switching cycle, achieving a smaller total output voltage
variation with less output capacitance than traditional PWM
controllers, thus saving cost and board space.
Control may be set more or less aggressive by adjusting a
gain factor, set by the PMBus command ASCR_CONFIG.
Increasing the gain factor will reduce the voltage deviation at
load transients, at the expense of somewhat increased ripple
on the output. Too high gain can also cause increase in jitter
and instability. Stability analysis can be made using the Flex
Power Designer software. Below graph exemplifies the effect
of the gain factor on the voltage deviation during a load
transient. The typical range of the gain factor is 200 - 600.

By default the product is configured with a moderate gain
factor to provide a trade-off between load transient
performance and output ripple for a wide range of operating
conditions. For a specific application the gain factor can be
increased to improve load transient response.
Optimization of control loop settings and output filter, together
with load step simulations, can be made using the Flex Power
Designer software.
Remote Sense
The product has remote sense to compensate the voltage
drops between the output and the point of load. The sense
traces should be laid out as a differential pair and preferably
be shielded by the PCB ground layer to reduce noise
susceptibility. If the remote sense is not used, +S must be
connected to VOUT and −S must be connected to GND.
In cases where the external output filter includes an inductor
(forming a pi filter) according to the picture below, the
LEXT/CEXT resonant frequency places an upper limit on the
controller loop bandwidth. If the resonance frequency is high
the sense lines can be connected after the filter (as shown in
the picture) – if the resonant frequency is low and the DC drop

Enabling Output Voltage
The following options are available to enable and disable this
device:
1.
Output voltage is enabled through the CTRL pin.
2.
Output voltage is enabled using the PMBus command
OPERATION.
The CTRL pin can be used with active high (positive) logic or
active low (negative) logic.
The CTRL pin polarity can be reconfigured using the PMBus
command ON_OFF_CONFIG.
The CTRL pin has an internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to 5 V.
The external device must have a sufficient sink current ability
to be able pull CTRL pin voltage down below logic low
threshold
level (see Electrical Characteristics). When the CTRL pin is
left open, the voltage on the CTRL pin is pulled up to 5 V.
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source,
the clock frequency must be stable prior to enabling the output
voltage.
Output Voltage Adjust using Pin-strap Resistor
Using an external Pin-strap resistor, RSET, the output voltage
can be set to several predefined levels shown in the table
below. Only the voltage levels specified in the table can be set
by RSET. The resistor should be applied between the VSET pin
and the PREF pin as shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
Maximum 1% tolerance resistors are required.

RSET also sets the maximum output voltage; see section
Output Voltage Range Limitation. The resistor is sensed only
during the initialization procedure after application of input
voltage. Changing the resistor value during normal operation
will not change the output voltage. See Ordering Information
for output voltage range.
Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus
The output voltage set by pin-strap can be overridden up to a
certain level (see section Output Voltage Range Limitation) by
using the PMBus command VOUT_COMMAND. See
Electrical Specification for adjustment range.
Voltage Margining Up/Down
Using the PMBus interface it is possible to adjust the output
voltage to one of two predefined levels above or below the
nominal voltage setting in order to determine whether the load
device is capable of operating outside its specified supply
voltage range. This provides a convenient method for
dynamically testing the operation of the load circuit outside its
typical operating range. This functionality can also be used to
test of supply voltage supervisors. Margin limits of the nominal
output voltage ±5% are default, but the margin limits can be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VOUT_MARGIN_LOW and VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH.
Margining is activated by the command OPERATION and can
be used regardless of the output voltage being enabled by the
CTRL pin or by the PMBus.
Output Voltage Trim
The actual output voltage can be trimmed to optimize
performance of a specific load by setting a non-zero value for
PMBus command VOUT_TRIM. The value of VOUT_TRIM is
summed with the nominal output voltage set by
VOUT_COMMAND, allowing for multiple products to be
commanded to a common nominal value, but with slight
adjustments per load.

Input 7.5 - 14 V, Output up to 90 A / 162 W
Output Voltage Range Limitation
The output voltage range that is possible to set by
configuration or by the PMBus interface is hardware limited by
the pin-strap resistor RSET. The maximum output voltage is set
to 115% of the output value defined by RSET. This protects the
application circuit from an over voltage due to an accidental
PMBus command.
The limitation applies to the actual regulated output voltage
rather than to the configured value. Thus, it is possible to write
and read back a VOUT_COMMAND value higher than the
limit, but the actual output voltage will be limited.
The output voltage limit can be reconfigured to a lower than
115% of Vout value by writing the PMBus command
VOUT_MAX.
Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The product includes over voltage limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default OVP limit is 15% above the
nominal output voltage. The product can be configured to
respond in different ways to the output voltage exceeding the
OVP limit:
1.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until
the fault is cleared by PMBus command CLEAR_FAULTS
or the output voltage is re-enabled.
2.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage followed by
continuous restart attempts of the output voltage with a
preset interval (“hiccup” mode).
The default response is option 2. The OVP limit and fault
response can be reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT, VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE
and OVUV_CONFIG.
For products configured to operate in current sharing mode,
response option 1 will always be used, regardless of this
command configuration.
Output Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
The product includes output under voltage limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default UVP limit is 15% below the
nominal output voltage. Refer to section Output Over Voltage
Protection for response configuration options and default
setting.
The UVP limit and fault response can be reconfigured using
the PMBus commands VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT and
VOUT_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Power Good
The power good pin (PG) indicates when the product is ready
to provide regulated output voltage to the load. During rampup and during a fault condition, PG is held low. By default, PG
is asserted high after the output has ramped to a voltage
above 90% of the nominal voltage, and deasserted if the
output voltage falls below 85% of the nominal voltage. These
thresholds may be changed using the PMBus commands
POWER_GOOD_ON and VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT.

The time between when the POWER_GOOD_ON threshold is
reached and when the PG pin is actually asserted is set by the
PMBus command POWER_GOOD_DELAY. See Electrical
Specification for default value and range.
By default the PG pin is configured as an open drain output
but it is also possible to set the output in push-pull mode by
the command USER_CONFIG.
The PG output is not defined during ramp up of the input
voltage due to the initialization of the product.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The product includes robust current limiting circuitry for
protection at continuous overload. After ramp-up is complete
the product can detect an output overload/short condition. The
following OCP response options are available:
1.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until
the fault is cleared by PMBus command CLEAR_FAULTS
or the output voltage is re-enabled.
2.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage followed by
continuous restart attempts of the output voltage with a
preset interval (“hiccup” mode).
The default response from an over current fault is option 2.
Note that delayed shutdown is not supported. The load
distribution should be designed for the maximum output short
circuit current specified. The OCP limit and response can be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands
IOUT_AVG_OC_FAULT_LIMIT and
MFR_IOUT_OC_FAULT_RESPONSE.
For products operated in current sharing mode, response
option 1 will always be used, regardless of configuration.
Under Current Protection (UCP)
The product includes robust current limiting circuitry for
protection at continuous reversed current, due to a
synchronous rectifier ability to sink current. Refer to section
Over Current Protection for response configuration options
and default setting. The UCP limit and response can be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands
IOUT_AVG_UC_FAULT_LIMIT and
MFR_IOUT_UC_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Switching Frequency
The default switching frequency is chosen as the best tradeoff
between efficiency and thermal performance, output ripple and
load transient performance. The switching frequency can be
re-configured in a certain range using the PMBus command
FREQUENCY_SWITCH. Refer to Electrical Specification for
default switching frequency and range.
Changing the switching frequency will affect efficiency and
power dissipation, load transient response (control loop
characteristics) and output ripple. Control loop settings may
need to be adjusted.
