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.

Ericsson Power Modules DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators
are designed in accordance with safety standards
IEC/EN/UL 60 950, Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
IEC/EN/UL60950 contains requirements to prevent injury or
damage due to the following hazards:
• Electrical shock
• Energy hazards
• Fire
• Mechanical and heat hazards
• Radiation hazards
• Chemical hazards
On-board DC-DC converters are defined as component power
supplies. As components they cannot fully comply with the
provisions of any Safety requirements without “Conditions of
Acceptability”. 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 Directives for
the final product.
Component power supplies for general use should comply with
the requirements in IEC60950, EN60950 and UL60950 “Safety of
information technology equipment”.
There are other more product related standards, e.g.
IEC61204-7 “Safety standard for power supplies",
IEEE802.3af “Ethernet LAN/MAN Data terminal equipment
power”, and ETS300132-2 “Power supply interface at the input to
telecommunications equipment; part 2: DC”,
but all of these standards are based on IEC/EN/UL60950 with
regards to safety.
Ericsson Power Modules DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators
are UL 60 950 recognized and certified in accordance with EN 60
950.
The flammability rating for all construction parts of the products
meets UL 94V-0.
The products should be installed in the end-use equipment, in
accordance with the requirements of the ultimate application.
Normally the output of the DC/DC converter is considered as SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the input source must be isolated by
minimum Double or Reinforced Insulation from the primary circuit
(AC mains) in accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60 950.
Safety Specification
Isolated DC/DC converters.
The input voltage to the DC/DC regulator is SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) and the output remains SELV under normal and abnormal
operating conditions.
It is recommended that a slow blow fuse with a rating
twice the maximum input current per selected product
be used at the input of each DC/DC regulator.
Non-isolated DC/DC regulators.
24 V dc systems.
The input voltage to the DC/DC converter is SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) and the output remains SELV under normal and abnormal
operating conditions.
48 and 60 V dc systems.
If the input voltage to Ericsson Power Modules DC/DC converter
is 75 V dc or less, then the output remains SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) under normal and abnormal operating conditions.
Single fault testing in the input power supply circuit should be
performed with the DC/DC converter connected to demonstrate
that the input voltage does not exceed 75 V dc.
If the input power source circuit is a DC power system, the source
may be treated as a TNV2 circuit and testing has demonstrated
compliance with SELV limits and isolation requirements equivalent
to Basic Insulation in accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60 950.
It is recommended that a fast blow fuse with a rating
twice the maximum input current per selected product
be used at the input of each DC/DC converter. If an input filter is
used in the circuit the fuse should be placed in front of the input
filter.
In the rare event of a component problem in the input filter or in the
DC/DC converter that imposes a short circuit on the input source,
this fuse will provide the following functions:
• Isolate the faulty DC/DC converter from the input power source
so as not to affect the operation of other parts of the system.
• Protect the distribution wiring from excessive current and power
loss thus preventing hazardous overheating.
The galvanic isolation is verified in an electric strength test. The test
voltage (VISO) between input and output is 1500 Vdc or 2250 Vdc for
60 seconds (refer to product specification). Leakage current is less
than 1µA at nominal input voltage.

Output Voltage Adjust
The resistor value for an adjusted output voltage is calculated by
using the following equations:
Output Voltage Adjust Upwards, Increase:
Radj= 5.11((5(100+Δ%))/ 1.225Δ%-(100+2Δ%)/Δ%) kOhm
Output Voltage Adjust Downwards, Decrease:
Radj= 5.11(100 / Δ%-2) kOhm
Eg Increase 4% =>Vout = 5.2 Vdc
5.11(5(100+4)/1.225x4-(100+2x4)/4) = 404 kOhm
Eg Decrease 2% =>Vout = 4.9 Vdc
5.11(100/2-2)= 245 kOhm

Layout Recommendation
The radiated EMI performance of the DC/DC converter will be opti-
mised by including a ground plane in the PCB area under the DC/DC
converter. This approach will return switching noise to ground as
directly as possible, with improvements to both emissions and sus-
ceptibility. It is also important to consider the stand-off of the PKB
4000 series DC/DC converter. If one ground trace is used, it should
be connected to the input return. Alternatively, two ground traces
may be used, with the trace under the input side of the DC/DC con-
verter connected to the input return and the trace under the output
side of the DC/DC converter connected to the output return. Make
sure to use appropriate safety isolation spacing between these two
return traces. The use of two traces as described will provide the
capability of routing the input noise and output noise back to their
respective returns.

Operating Information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 36…75Vdc meets the requirements of the
European Telecom Standard ETS 300 132-2 for normal input voltage
range in –48V and –60V DC systems, -40.5…-57.0V and –50.0…-
72V respectively. At input voltages exceeding 75V, the power loss
will be higher than at normal input voltage and TPcb must be limited
to absolute max +110°C. The absolute maximum continuous input
voltage is 80Vdc.
Turn-Off Input Voltage
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters monitor 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 1V where
the turn on input voltage is the highest.
Output Voltage Adjust (Vadj)
All PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters have an Output Voltage
adjust pin (Vadj). This pin can be used to adjust the output voltage
above or below Output voltage initial setting. When increasing the
output voltage, the voltage at the output pins (including any remote
sense offset) must be kept below the overvoltage trip point, to
prevent the converter from shut down. Also note that at increased
output voltages the maximum power rating of the converter remains
the same, and the output current capability will decrease corre-
spondingly. To decrease the output voltage the resistor should be
connected between Vadj pin and –Sense pin. To increase the voltage
the resistor should be connected between Vadj pin and +Sense pin.
The resistor value of the Output voltage adjust function is according
to information given under the output section.
Remote Control (RC)
All PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters 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 the PCB should be located close to a ground trace
or ground plane. In a discrete wiring situation, the use of twisted
pair wires or other technique to reduce noise susceptibility is highly
recommended. The remote sense circuitry will compensate for up to
10% voltage drop between the sense voltage and the voltage at the
output pins. The output voltage and the remote sense voltage offset
must be less than the minimum over voltage trip point. If the remote
sense is not needed the –Sense should be connected to –Out and
+Sense should be connected to +Out.

The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters
have a remote control function referenced
to the primary side (- In), with negative
and positive logic options available. The
RC function allows the converter 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
+ In. The needed maximum sink current
is 1mA. When the RC pin is left open,
the voltage generated on the RC pin is 12 - 15 V. The maximum
allowable leakage current of the switch is 20 µA.
The standard converter is provided with “negative logic” remote
control and the converter will be off until the RC pin is connected
to the - In. To turn on the converter the voltage between RC pin
and - In should be less than 1V. To turn off the converter 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
converter to power up automatically without the need for control
signals or a switch, the RC pin can be wired directly to - In.
The second option is “positive logic” remote control, which can
be ordered by adding the suffix “P” to the end of the part number.
The converter will turn on when the input voltage is applied with
the RC pin open. Turn off is achieved by connecting the RC pin to
the - In. To ensure safe turn off the voltage difference between RC
pin and the - In pin shall be less than 1V. The converter will restart
automatically when this connection is opened.

Operating Information
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters are protected from thermal
overload by an internal over temperature shutdown circuit. When
the PCB temperature on the topside between the signal transformer
and output choke (position P1 as defined in Thermal consideration
section) exceeds 120 °C the converter will shut down immediately.
The converter will make continuous attempts to start up (non-
latching mode) and resume normal operation automatically when the
temperature has dropped >10 ˚C below the temperature threshold.
Input And Output Impedance
The impedance of both the power source and the load will interact
with the impedance of the DC/DC converter. It is most important
to have a low characteristic impedance, both at the input and
output, as the converters have a low energy storage capability.
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters have been designed to be
completely stable without the need for external capacitors on the
input or the output circuits. The performance in some applications
can be enhanced by addition of external capacitance as described
under maximum capacitive load. If the distribution of the input
voltage source to the converter contains significant inductance, the
addition of a 100 µF capacitor across the input of the converter will
help insure stability. This capacitor is not required when powering
the DC/DC converter from a low impedance source with short, low
inductance, input power leads.
Parallel Operation
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters can be paralleled for redun-
dancy if external o-ring diodes are used in series with the outputs.
It is not recommended to parallel the PKB 4000 Series DC/DC
converters for increased power without using external current shar-
ing circuits.
Maximum Capacitive Load
When powering loads with significant dynamic current requirements,
the voltage regulation at the load can be improved by addition of
decoupling capacitance at the load. The most affective 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 short duration high-frequency
components of dynamic load changes. In addition, higher values of
electrolytic capacitors should be used to handle the mid-frequency
components. It is equally important to use good design practise
when configuring the DC distribution system.
Low resistance and low inductance PCB layouts and cabling should
be used. Remember that when using remote sensing, all resistance,
inductance and capacitance of the distribution system is within the
feedback loop of the converter. This can affect on the converters
compensation and the resulting stability and dynamic response
performance. As a “rule of thumb”, 100µF/A of output current can
be used without any additional analysis. For example with a 25A
converter, values of decoupling capacitance up to 2500 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 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, please
contact your local Ericsson Power Modules representative.
Current Limit Protection
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters include current limiting
circuitry that allows them to withstand continuous overloads or short
circuit conditions on the output. The output voltage will decrease
towards zero for output currents in excess of max output current
(Iomax).
The converter will resume normal operation after removal of the
overload. The load distribution system should be designed to carry
the maximum output short circuit current specified.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters have output overvoltage
protection. In the event of an overvoltage condition, the converter
will shut down immediately. The converter will make continuous at-
tempts to start up (non-latching mode) and resume normal operation
automatically.

Thermal Consideration
General
The PKB 4000 series DC/DC converters are designed to operate
in a variety of thermal environments, however sufficient cooling
should be provided to help ensure reliable operation. Heat
is removed by conduction, convection and radiation to the
surrounding environment. Increased airflow enhances the heat
transfer via convection. The available load current vs. ambient air
temperature and airflow at Vin =53 V for each model is according
to the information given under the output section. The test is
done in a wind tunnel with a cross section of 305 x 305 mm, the
DC/DC converter vertically mounted on a 8 layer PCB with a size
of 254 x 254 mm, each layer with 35 µm (1 oz) copper. Proper
cooling can be verified by measuring the temperature of selected
devices. Peak temperature can occur at positions P1, P2 and
P3. The temperature at these positions should not exceed the
recommended max values.
Note that the recommended max value is the absolute maximum
rating (non destruction) and that the electrical output data is
guaranteed up to TPcb +90 °C.
Calculation of ambient temperature
By using the thermal resistance the maximum allowed
ambient temperature can be calculated.
1. The powerloss is calculated by using the formula
((1/η) - 1) × output power = power losses.
η = efficiency of converter. E.g 89.5% = 0.895
2. Find the value of the thermal resistance for each product in the
diagram by using the airflow speed at the output section of the con-
verter. Take the thermal resistance x powerloss to get the temperature
increase.
3. Max allowed calculated ambient temperature is: Max
TPCB of DC/DC converter – temperature increase.
B. 7.74 W × 5.0 °C/W = 38.7 °C
C. 110 °C - 38.7 °C = max ambient temperature is 71.3 °C
The real temperature will be dependent on several factors, like PCB
size and type, direction of airflow, air turbulence etc. It is recommen-
ded to verify the temperature by testing.

Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the PKB 4000 series
DC/DC converter is calculated at full output power and an operating
ambient temperature (TA) of +40°C. Different methods could be
used to calculate the predicted MTBF and failure rate which may
give different results. Ericsson Power Modules currently uses two
different methods, Ericsson failure rate data system DependTool
and Telcordia SR332.
Predicted MTBF for the PKB 4000 series products is:
3.5 million hours according to DependTool.
1.5 million hours according to Telcordia SR332, issue 1,
Black box techique.
The Ericsson failure rate data system is based on field tracking
data. The data corresponds to actual failure rates of components
used in Information Technology and Telecom (IT&T) equipment in
temperature controlled environments (TA = -5...+65°C). Telcordia
SR332 is a commonly used standard method intended for reliability
calculations in IT&T equipment. The parts count procedure used
in this method was originally modeled on the methods from MIL-
HDBK-217F, Reliability Predictions of Electronic Equipment. It
assumes that no reliability data is available on the actual units and
devices for which the predictions are to be made, i.e. all predictions
are based on generic reliability parameters.

The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters are intended for through
hole mounting on a PCB. When wave soldering is used max
temperature on the pins is specified to 260°C for 10 seconds.
Maximum preheat rate of 4°C/s and temperature of max 130°C is
suggested. When hand soldering, care should be taken to avoid
direct contact between the hot soldering iron tip and the pins for
more than a few seconds in order to prevent overheating.
No-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of cleaning
fluids in cavities inside of the DC/DC power module. The residues
may affect long time reliability and isolation voltage.
