Operating information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 45 to 53 Vdc meets the
requirements of the European Telecom Standard ETS 300
132-2 for normal input voltage range in –50.0 to -72 V
At input voltages exceeding 75 V, the power loss will be
higher than at normal input voltage and TP1 must be limited
to absolute max +125°C. The absolute maximum continuous
input voltage is 80 Vdc.
Turn-off Input Voltage
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn on and
turn off at predetermined levels.
The minimum hysteresis between turn on and turn off input
voltage is 1 V.
Remote Control (RC)
The product is fitted with a remote
control function referenced to the
primary negative input connection
(-In). The RC function allows the
product to be turned on/off by an
external device like a
semiconductor or mechanical
switch. The RC pin has an internal
pull up resistor to internal voltage
reference 18V.
The external device must provide a minimum required sink
current to guarantee a maximum voltage on the RC pin (see
Electrical characteristics table)
The standard product is provided with “negative logic” RC
and will be off until the RC pin is connected to the -In. To
turn off the product the RC pin should be left open, or
connected to a voltage higher than 13 V referenced to -In. In
situations where it is desired to have the product to power up
automatically without the need for control signals or a switch,
the RC pin can be wired directly to -In.
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. The
products are designed for stable operation without external
capacitors connected to the input or output. The
performance in some applications can be enhanced by
addition of external capacitance as described under External
Decoupling Capacitors. If the input voltage source contains
significant inductance, the addition of a 22 - 100 µF
capacitor across the input of the product will ensure stable
operation. The capacitor is not required when powering the
product from an input source with an inductance below
10 µH. The minimum required capacitance value depends
on the output power and the input voltage. The higher output
power the higher input capacitance is needed.
External Decoupling Capacitors
When powering loads with significant dynamic current
requirements, the voltage regulation at the point of load can
be improved by addition of decoupling capacitors at the load.
The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic
and electrolytic capacitors as close to the load as possible,
using several parallel capacitors to lower the effective ESR.
The ceramic capacitors will handle high-frequency dynamic
load changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used to
handle low frequency dynamic load changes. Ceramic
capacitors will also reduce any high frequency noise at the
load. It is equally important to use low resistance and low
inductance PWB layouts and cabling.
External decoupling capacitors will become part of the
product’s control loop. The control loop is optimized for a
wide range of external capacitance and the maximum
recommended value that could be used without any
additional analysis is found in the Electrical specification.
The ESR of the capacitors is a very important parameter.
Stable operation is guaranteed with a verified ESR value of
>10 mΩ across the output connections.

Soft-start Power Up
The soft-start control introduces a time-delay (default setting
40 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise. The default
rise time of the ramp up is 10 ms. Power-up is hence
completed within 50 ms in default configuration using remote
control. When starting by applying input voltage the control
circuit boot-up time adds an additional 140 ms delay.
Temperature Protection (OTP)
The product is protected from thermal overload by an
internal temperature shutdown protection.
When TP1 as defined in thermal consideration section is
exceeded the product will shut down. The product will make
continuous attempts to start up (non-latching mode) and
resume normal operation automatically when the
temperature has dropped below the temperature threshold.
The hysteresis is defined in general electrical specification.
Note: the fault response “continue without interruption” may
cause permanent damage of the product.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The product has output over voltage protection that will shut
down the product in over voltage conditions.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The product includes current limiting circuitry for protection
at continuous overload. The output voltage will decrease
towards zero for output currents in excess of max output
