The PKJ series represents a “third generation” of High
Density DC/DC Power Modules providing 90% efficiency.
To achieve this high efficiency, Ericsson uses proprietary drive
and control circuits with planar magnetics and low resistivity
multilayer PCB technology, and a patent pending topology
with active rectification. The PKJ series can be used without
bulky and height consuming heatsinks, resulting in a lower
total cost. This also provides narrow board spacing for elec-
tronic, shelf based applications.
The products are in the industry standard package size and
offer a beneficial alternative to competing products on the
market. Because for certain applications they may not
require heatsinks, they are ideal for cost sensitive or high-
density applications.
The PKJ series also offers the flexibility of using a heatsink
when needed, enabling reduced airflow, extended reliability
or higher ambient temperature operation in a wide range of
48V and 60V DC powered systems. Similar to other
Ericsson Power Modules, the PKJ series includes an under-
voltage shut down facility, protecting the associated batter-
ies from being too deeply discharged. The PKJ series also
offers over-voltage protection, over-temperature protection
and is short circuit proof.
These products are manufactured using highly automated
manufacturing lines with a world-class quality commitment
and a five-year warranty. Ericsson Components AB has been
an ISO 9001 certified supplier since 1991. For product

Environmental Characteristics
2
Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may
cause permanent damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings,
sometimes referred to as no destruction limits, are
normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding
the limits of Output data or Electrical Characteristics.
If exposed to stress above these limits, function and
performance may degrade in an unspecified manner.
For design margin and to enhance system reliability,
it is recommended that the PKJ series DC/DC power
modules are operated at case temperatures below 90°C.

Information section
Safety
The PKJ Series DC/DC power modules are
designed to comply with EN 60 950 Safety of
information technology equipment including
electrical business equipment.
The PKJ DC/DC power modules are also
recognized by UL and meet the applicable
requirements in UL 1950, Safety of information
technology equipment and applicable Canadian
safety requirements.
The isolation is an operational insulation in
accordance with EN 60 950. The DC/DC power
module should be installed in end-use equipment,
in compliance with the requirements of the
ultimate application, and is intended to be
supplied by an isolated secondary circuit.
Consideration should be given to measuring
the case temperature to comply with TCmax
when in operation.
When the supply to the DC/DC power
module meets all the requirements for SELV
(<60Vdc), the output is considered to remain
within SELV limits (level 3). If connected to a 60V
DC power system, reinforced insulation must be
provided in the power supply that isolates the
input from the mains. Single fault testing in the
power supply must be performed in combination
with the DC/DC power module to demonstrate
that the output meets the requirement for SELV.
One pole of the input and one pole of the output
is to be grounded or both are to be kept floating.

Mechanical Data
Safety (continued)
The galvanic isolation is verified in an electric strength test. The
test voltage (VISO) between input and output is 1,500 Vdc for
60 sec. Leakage current is less than 1µA @ 50Vdc.
Flammability ratings of the terminal support and internal plastic
construction details meet UL 94V-0.
A fuse should be used at the input of each PKJ series power module.
If a fault occurs in the power module, that imposes a short on the
input source, this fuse will provide the following two functions:
• Isolate the failed module from the input source so that the
remainder of the system may continue operation.
• Protect the distribution wiring from
overheating.
A fast blow fuse should be used with a rating of 10A or less. It is
recommended to use a fuse with the lowest current rating, that is
suitable for the application.
Thermal Data
The PKJ series DC/DC power modules has a robust thermal design
which allows operation at case (baseplate) temperatures (TC) up to
+100°C. The main cooling mechanism is convection (free or forced)
through the case or optional heatsinks.
The graph above shows the allowable maximum output
current to maintain a maximum +100°C case temperature.
Note that the ambient temperature is the air temperature
adjacent to the power module which is typically elevated
above the room environmental temperature.
The graphs below can be used to estimate case temperatures
for given system operating conditions (see Thermal design).
For further information on optional heatsinks, please contact
your local Ericsson sales office.
Thermal Design
The thermal data can be used to determine thermal performance
without a heatsink.
Case temperature is calculated by the following formula:
TC= TA+ Pdx RthC-A where Pd= PO(1/η- 1)
Where:
TC: Case Temperature
TA: Local Ambient Temperature
Pd: Dissipated Power
RthC-A: Thermal Resistance from TCto TA
The efficiency ηcan be found in the tables on the following pages.
For design margin and to enhance system reliability, it is recommend-
ed that the PKJ series DC/DC power modules are operated at case
temperatures below 90°C.

Remote Sense
All PKJ series DC/DC power modules have remote sense that can
be used to compensate for moderate amounts of resistance in the
distribution system and allow for voltage regulation at the load or
other selected point. The remote sense lines will carry very little
current and do not need a large cross sectional area. However, the
sense lines on a PCB should be located close to a ground trace or
ground plane. In a discrete wiring situation, the usage of twisted pair
wires or other technique for reducing noise susceptibility is
recommended.
The power module will compensate for up to 0.5 V voltage drop
between the sense voltage and the voltage at the power module
output pins. The output voltage and the remote sense voltage
offset must be less than the minimum overvoltage trip point.
If the remote sense is not needed the -Sen should be connected
to -Out and +Sen should be connected to +Out.
Current Limiting
General Characteristics
All PKJ series DC/DC power modules include current limiting circuitry
that makes them able to withstand continuous overloads or short circuit
conditions on the output. The output voltage will decrease toward zero
for heavy overloads (see product code characteristics).
The power module will resume normal operation after removal of the
overload. The load distribution system should be designed to carry
the maximum short circuit output current specified (see applicable
code typical characteristics).
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
All PKJ DC/DC power modules have latching output overvoltage
protection. In the event of an overvoltage condition, the power mod-
ule will shut down. The power module can be restarted by cycling
the input voltage.
Turn-off Input Voltage (VIoff)
The power module monitors the input voltage and will turn on and
turn off at predetermined levels.
Operating Information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 36...72V meets the requirements in the
European Telecom Standard ETS 300 132-2 for normal input voltage
range in -48 V and -60 V DC power systems, -40.5...-57.0 V and
-50.0...-72.0 V respectively. At input voltages exceeding 72 V,
(abnormal voltage), the power loss will be higher than at normal
input voltage and TCmust be limited to absolute max +90º C. The
absolute max continuous input voltage is 75 V DC. Output charac-
teristics will be marginally affected at input voltages exceeding 72 V.
Remote Control (RC)
The RC pin can be wired directly to -In, to allow the module to
power up automatically without the need for control signals.
A mechanical switch or an open collector transistor or FET can be
used to drive the RC inputs. The device must be capable of sinking
up to 1mA at a low level voltage of 1.0V, maximum of 15 V dc, for
the primary RC.

Output Voltage Adjust (Trim)
Voltage Trimming
All PKJ series DC/DC power modules have an Output Voltage
Adjust pin. This pin can be used to adjust the output voltage
above or below VOi. When increasing the output voltage, the
voltage at the output pins (including any remote sensing offset)
must be kept below the overvoltage trip point. Also note that
at elevated output voltages the maximum power rating of the
module remains the same, and the output current capability will
decrease correspondingly.

Paralleling for Redundancy
The figure below shows how n + 1 redundancy can be achieved.
The diodes on the power module outputs allow a failed module
to remove itself from the shared group without pulling down the com-
mon output bus. This configuration can be extended to
additional numbers of power modules and they can also be
controlled individually or in groups by means of signals to the
primary RC inputs.
Output Ripple & Noise (VOac)
Output ripple is measured as the peak to peak voltage from 0 to
20MHz which includes the noise voltage and fundamental.
Over Temperature Protection
The PKJ DC/DC power modules are protected from thermal overload
by an internal over temperature shutdown circuit. When the case
temperature exceeds +110°C, the power module will automatically
shut down (latching). To restart the module the input voltage must
be cycled. The internal temperature is a few degrees higher than the
case (baseplate) temperature.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the power source and the load will interact
with the impedence of the DC/DC power module. It is most important
to have the ratio between L and C as low as possible, i.e. a low charac-
teristic impedance, both at the input and output, as the power mod-
ules have a low energy storage capability. The PKJ series of DC/DC
power modules has been designed to be completely stable without the
need for external capacitors on the input or output when configured
with low inductance input and output circuits. The performance in
some applications can be enhanced by the addition of external capaci-
tance as described below. If the distribution of the input voltage source
to the power module contains significant inductance, the addition of a
220-470 µF capacitor across the input of the power module will help
insure stability. Tantalum capacitors are not recommended due to their
low ESR-value. This capacitor is not required when powering the
module from a low impedance source with short, low inductance,
input power leads.
Output Capacitance
When powering loads with significant dynamic current requirements,
the voltage regulation at the load can be improved by the addition of
decoupling capacitance at the load. The most effective technique is to
locate low ESR ceramic capacitors as close to the load as possible, using
several capacitors to lower the effective ESR. These ceramic capacitors
will handle the short duration high frequency components of the
dynamic current requirement. In addition, higher values of electrolytic
capacitors should be used to handle the mid frequency components. It
is equally important to use good design practices when configuring the
DC distribution system.

Low resistance and low inductance PCB (printed circuit board) layouts
and cabling should be used. Remember that when using remote sens-
ing, all the resistance, inductance and capacitance of the distribution
system is within the feedback loop of the power module. This can have
an effect on the modules compensation and the resulting stability and
dynamic response performance.
As a rule of thumb, 100 µF/A of output current can be used without
any additional analysis. For example, with a 30A (max PO150W)
power module, values of decoupling capacitance up to 3000 µF can be
used without regard to stability. With larger values of capacitance, the
load transient recovery time can exceed the specified value. As much of
the capacitance as possible should be outside of the remote sensing
loop and close to the load.The absolute maximum value of output
capacitance is 10,000 µF. For values larger than this contact your local
Ericsson representative.

hours using Bellcore TR-332 methodology. The calculation is valid
for an ambient temperature of 40°C and an output load 80% of
rated maximum.
Quality Statement
The power modules are designed and manufactured in an industrial
environment where quality systems and methods like ISO 9000, 6σ,
