Fusing Considerations:  
This power module is not internally fused. To meet safety requirements, an input line fuse should always be  
used! Select a fuse according the specified input current in Table 1. The fuse rating should be selected in the  
range [1.3·Ii max..10 A]. The UL file calls for a fuse rated F, 125 V DC, 10 A max. Refer to the fuse  
manufacturer’s data for further information.  
Electrical Specification  
Unless otherwise stated the specification applies over the entire input voltage, output load and temperature  
ranges. Sense lines are connected directly to the power pins. Trim pin is left open.

The apparent overshoot in the output voltage load step recovery is due to an overshoot in the current drawn  
by the electronic load. The dynamic performance of the converter at different dIo/dt and different capacitive  
loads can be estimated with an interactive tool on the TXS CD ROM.

The turn on and off curves are typical, but they look almost identical at all input voltages [36...75 V],  
temperatures [-40...+100 °C] and for all models [1.2...2.5 V]. The same curves apply whether the module is  
switched using the remote signal or the input voltage.

The following points should be observed, when  
To remember: At 100 A, a 1 mresistor in trace

can produce as much as 100 mV of voltage drop  
or a measuring error of 100 mV · 100 A = 10 W !

The output voltage of the TXS modules should  
not be increased above +20 % of Uo nom. This  
limit includes any increase due to remote  
sense and an output voltage set-point  
adjustment over the trim function.  
The output power of the TXS module is  
defined as the output voltages at the power  
pins multiplied by the load current. When the  
output voltage is increased to compensate  
voltage drops, the output power from the  
converter is increased as well. The power  
should not exceed its maximum rating.

The sense wires are loaded with a small signal  
current. Do not place resistors or filters into  
the sense wires.  
The PCB layout of the power tracks to the load  
should result in a low wiring inductance.  
Otherwise the dynamic performance even with  
sense wires is degraded.  
The dissipation at elevated base plate  
temperatures is needed to determine the cooling  
requirements ( page 23: Thermal considerations).  
Æ
Output Over Voltage Protection  
Do not use filter capacitors between sense  
and power pins. They could possibly influence  
the stability of the module.  
The units have a built in over voltage protection,  
which prevent an uncontrolled increase of the  
output voltage in case of catastrophic failures of  
the converter. The over voltage protection consist  
of a second control loop, which is independent of  
the main regulating circuit.  
Power loss and Efficiency  
The protection is set to 125 % Uo set (Models ZY,  
ZA, ZB, ZC) and 115 % Uo set (Model ZD).  
The measurement of loss and efficiency at very  
high output current converters is quite difficult. To  
avoid measurement errors, a Kelvin connection  
directly at the module terminals should be used.  
sense should be wired directly to the power pins.  
The over voltage protection is not switching, but  
regulating, so that the converter can’t be  
accidentally turned of by noise or EMI. Output  
voltage adjustment over sense or trim can’t trigger  
the over voltage protection, because the protection

When the converter output is overloaded or  
shorted, the module will go into hiccup mode. In  
the hiccup mode, the brick is switched off  
completely and restarted after  
a
period of  
approximately 550 ms. If the overload- or short  
circuit is still present then, the converter will hiccup  
until the overload is removed.  
In order to be capable of starting large capacitive  
loads, the converter provides a minimum on time  
of approximately 30 ms.

protection, is to prevent long term operation at  
elevated temperatures due to poor thermal system  
design. Long time thermal overload reduces the  
reliability of the converters.  
A PTC measures the surface temperature of the  
PCB near the main transformers. The temperature  
protection switches the converter off completely at  
approximately 120 °C. After cooling down by 5 to  
10 Kelvin, the converter is restarted.  
Thermal time constant  
TXS modules have a large thermal time constant  
of approximately 7 K/Min. A large time constant  
increases the converter ruggedness. It allows short  
term operation at overload without triggering the  
temperature protection. In case of changing loads,  
PTC  
the converter operates at  
a lower average  
temperature which improves the expected lifetime.  
Finally a large time constant gives additional  
operating time after a break down of the cooling  
system.

Hot Spots  
TXS modules have large component and material  
safety margins. The temperature protection is not  
set close to destructive limits. Laboratory tests with  
disabled protection at an on board temperature of  
170 °C (24 h, full load) showed no performance or

Definitions  
Safety Considerations  
The following section should help to classify the  
supplying circuit of the converter. For the precise  
identification of the voltage types in a system, the  
relevant safety standard should be used.  
Primary circuit = Circuit connected to the AC mains  
which makes it hazardous per definition.  
TXS modules have been designed for building into  
system applications in pollution degree  
2
environments 1.  
The converters provide basic insulation1 from  
input to output and from input to the metallic base  
plate. The insulation supports 1500 V DC electric  
strength test voltage and has an insulation  
resistance >50 M.  
Secondary circuit = Circuit which is isolated from a  
primary circuit. A battery without connection to a  
primary circuit is considered to be a secondary  
circuit.  
The converters provide functional insulation1  
between output and base plate. The insulation  
supports 500 V DC electric strength test voltage.  
The base plate is normally floating. For safety  
reasons the base plate may only be connected to  
the secondary or safety ground.  
SELV, ELV and TNV are secondary circuits.  
SELV: Safety Extra Low Voltage  
ELV:  
TNV:  
Extra Low Voltage  
Telecommunication Network Voltage  
If the system using the converter requires safety  
agency approval, certain rules should be followed  
in the design of the system. In particular, all  
creepage and clearance distance requirements of  
the appropriate standard should be observed. This  
document refers to UL 60950, EN 60950:2000 and  
CSA 60950-00 only. Specific applications may  
have additional requirements.  
SELV = User accessible secondary circuit with  
U <60 V DC and no transients. An SELV circuit  
remains safe even after single faults.  
ELV = Basic insulated circuit with the same limits  
as a SELV circuit but without protection to 60 V in  
case of a single fault.  
TNV = Double or reinforced insulated secondary  
circuit, isolated from earth and connected to a  
telecommunication network or a circuit meeting the  
TNV specifications.  
The converter has no internal fuse. An external  
fuse should be provided to protect the system. For  
UL purpose the fuse needs to be UL-listed. A fuse  
rating not greater than 10 A is recommended. The  
user can select a lower rating fuse based upon the  
inrush transient of the input filter and the maximum  
input current of the converter (see page 2). Both  
input tracks and the chassis ground track (if  
applicable) should be capable of conducting a  
current of 1.5 times the value of the fuse without  
failure. The fuse should be placed in the non-  
grounded input line.  
The maximum specified input voltage is 100 V  
DC for 100 ms. Exceeding of this voltage limit may  
destroy the input stage of the converter but it will  
not damage the insulation 2.  
If an input supply other than SELV is used, the  
components on the primary of the converter may  
need to be considered as hazardous. The report:  
“TXS layout considerations” on the TXS CD ROM  
provides recommendations for the PCB layout  
beneath the converter.

Exception: According deviation 2 in UL60950, the limit  
80 V DC instead of 120 V DC applies in a DC-power  
system for TNV2.  
According to UL 60950, EN 60950:2000, CSA 60950-00  
2 The creepage and clearance distance and the insulation  
thickness were dimensioned for 200 V DC. The  
converters have been approved for basic insulation. It is  
in the responsibility of the customer to use the converter  
in applications, where supplementary insulation is  
required.

In the event of a single fault, the voltage can  
rise to 1500 V for 1 ms, then fall down to 400 V within  
14 ms and stay at 400 V DC over 185 ms. Limiting  
curve, see figure in IEC 60950:2000.

- A protective device limiting Uo to 60 V DC  
max. should be connected between the  
output lines of the TXS. (Clamp, Suppressor

If a circuit connected to the converter output is  
operator accessible, the output should be SELV.  
The following table shows some possible  
installation configurations. However it is the sole  
responsibility of the installer/system designer to  
assure the compliance with the relevant and  
applicable safety regulations.  
- The output should be earthed.  
- The earth connections and the protective  
device should be adequately dimensioned to  
allow the fuse to reliably interrupt.  
- The power system consisting of the TXS  
modules and the primary supply (see figure  
42) should successfully pass the SELV  
reliability tests.  
The output is considered SELV, according to EN

B: The power bus voltage should be limited or  
regulated to maximum 75 V DC in order of not  
to damage the TXS modules.  
ELV or TNV outputs  
If the output of a TXS needs only to be an ELV or  
TNV circuit, less stringent requirements apply.  
The power module has an ELV output if the input  
is ELV or hazardous with a nominal voltage below  
200 V DC. The power module has a TNV output if  
the input is TNV. No additional requirements apply.  
For other combinations, consult the safety standards.

For safety reasons or to reduce possible EMI

Grounding the output or the case has a negative  
influence on the EMI performance. To overcome  
this problem, a two stage input filter is proposed  
(see figures 50/51).  
Alternatively, if the ground connection is needed  
for safety reasons only, an inductor in the ground

The high efficient on-board input filter consists of  
several ceramic capacitors, a damping network

impedance. A power source with inductive output

and  
a
filter inductor. Two EMC capacitors  
(Cy1+Cy2) in a series connection with 2.2 nF  
each, are connected between primary and  
secondary.  
A good general stability rule is, that the magnitude  
of the source impedance should be lower than the  
magnitude of the input impedance of the module at

Example: At Ui min = 36 V and Ii max = 7.8 A (see  
Table 1 on page 3), a TXS100ZD needs an AC-  
impedance |Zline| < 13.2 dBat full load.  
A possibility to reduce the input impedance is to  
connect a low ESR input filter capacitor between  
the input lines (at least 100 uF per 125 W output  
power is recommended). With such a blocking  
capacitor, a performance within the specifications  
can be achieved with almost all supply conditions.

Electromagnetic Susceptibility  
To consider:  
The converter does not react to EMI pulses.  
However the Y capacitors and the interwinding  
capacitance of the multilayer board can couple  
some common mode noise to the secondary.  
Earthing or decoupling the output with large Y  
capacitors needs a two stage EMC filter or a  
ground line inductor to meet the EMC conducted  
noise level B (see EMC specifications).  
- The stabilising input capacitor and the capacitors  
of the input filters generate an inrush current.  
- The blocking capacitor should be able to handle  
the input ripple current of the module, which is  
much larger than the reflected input ripple (see  
measurement set up: figures 20/22).  
- The capacitors may resonate with the inductance  
of the input filter and the wiring. If this happens,  
the resonance will require damping.

Thermal Considerations  
TXS converters provide an efficient way to  
transport heat to the motherboard over the pins  
and the case. Since the efficiency of this method  
varies from design to design, it can’t be predicted.  
(See report: “TXS layout considerations”)  
TXS converters achieve one of the highest current  
and power densities on the market. This would be  
useless, if in practise the available current should  
be reduced a lot because of cooling problems.  
But TXS converters achieve also the highest full  
load efficiency on the market and use a unique  
thermal design which makes them to real high  
density, high current converters.  
Base Plate to Ambient RthBP-A  
TXS modules are designed for forced convection  
cooling. To estimate the thermal resistance at  
different airflows the following graph can be used:  
Maximum Base Plate Temperature  
To ensure reliable long term operation, and to  
comply with safety agency requirements, the base  
plate temperature (TBP) should always be kept  
below 100 °C. The maximum base plate  
temperature is defined by two conditions:  
Thermal Resistance v's Air-Flow Rate

Maximum multilayer temperature 120 °C.  
(UL 130 °C print material is used: Power-One  
designs use normally 10 K safety margin).  
Maximum opto-coupler temperature 100 °C.  
(Device limits, otherwise accelerated aging)  
If the base plate temperature stays below 100 °C,  
both of the above limits are kept under all  
operating and cooling conditions.

Air-Flow Rate (LFM)  
The maximum base plate temperature is limited by  
the temperature protection, but should be verified  
after system integration. TBP can be measured on  
the temperature measuring point on the base  
plate. See mechanical drawing for location.

Figure 53: Thermal resistances at laminar airflow  
TXS modules are designed to work without  
additional heat sink. But it is possible to attach an  
external heat sink to the base plate.  
Thermal Resistance  
Heat sinks can efficiently help to increase the  
thermal safety margin or to increase the available  
power if the available airflow in a system is not  
sufficient.  
To operate the converters below the maximum  
base plate temperature, sufficient cooling should  
be provided. The modules can be cooled by  
conduction, convection and radiation to the  
surrounding environment.  
Calculation of the Required Airflow  
The path for the heat transport can be described

ambient temperature and operating condition.  
with  
a thermal resistance. A low thermal  
resistance allows a lot of heat or loss to flow from a  
hot component x to the surrounding y.

2
The operating conditions define the loss of the  
converter: Loss figures for different output  
voltages, input voltage ranges, and output  
currents can be found on page 8. They should  
be corrected with the factors of Table 7 for the  
targeted base plate temperature.  
Rthxy = (Tx - Ty) / PLoss [K/W]  
The thermal resistance between x and y is defined  
as temperature difference between the two parts,  
divided through the amount of loss flowing from the  
hot to the cool part (see report “Thermal  
performace of TXS” on the TXS product CD ROM  
for further information).  
TXS provide two main ways for heat transport:  
Heat can be transported to the motherboard and to  
ambient.  
The required thermal resistance for a given  
environment (TBP, TA) and loss can be  
calculated using the formula from above:  
RthBP-A = (TBP -TA) / PLoss. To remember: The  
base plate temperature should not be

explanations can be found in the report “thermal  
performance of TXS units” on the product CD  
ROM. A second report “Next generation TXS  
modules” shows preliminary data of optimised TXS  
modules.  
1 The thermal resistance for a given airflow and  
heat sink can be found in figure 53  
The derating data in the figures 54 and 55 shows  
two bars for each airflow value. The first bar can  
be used for 48 V battery types, where the input  
voltage stays within 36 V to 60 V. The second bar  
should be used for 60 V battery types, where the  
continuous input voltage can be as high as 75 V.  
2 The basic formula of the thermal resistance  
RthBP-A = (TBP -TA) / PLoss allows to determine  
the loss at this cooling condition: PLoss = (TBP  
-
TA) / RthBP-A  
3 Normalise the loss figure to the operating  
ambient temperature using the correction factor  
of table 7. Ploss 25°C = Ploss TBP / K  
4 With the loss value at 25°C it is possible to  
determine the maximum output current of the  
converter using the loss figures on page 8.  
At 75 V, TXS converters have increased loss  
compared to the 36 V to 60 V input range. Thus  
the maximum allowed ambient temperature for the  
full input range is reduced.

methods, some companies use models based on  
experience, returns and field data. This makes it  
very difficult to compare reliability data from

reliability data only, and “in house” models for all  
the others.  
example the output current limit. It is the  
responsibility of the end user to decide how much  
current/power can be drawn in his design or how  
much airflow is required, in order to ensure reliable  
operation in the field.  
Calculator  
Instead of using the graphs, the required airflow or  
the allowed output current can be calculated with a  
automated, easy to use tool on the TXS Product  
CD ROM. The tool uses interpolation between  
values and also gives a prediction of the expected  
life time for the chosen operating condition. 120A  
units are not jet included.  
MIL HDBK 217F Notice 2  
There is an ongoing discussion about the best  
suited method for reliability prediction.  
The MIL-HDBK is the most elaborate, well  
documented and most widely used tool for  
predicting the component reliability. MIL models  
are better suited to describing the component  
loading in high density converters, than other  
models. Belcore models for example were  
developed for predicting the reliability of standard  
telecom equipment, working at much lower  
operating temperatures.  
The problem with the MIL HDBK is, that the  
models are often based on old data, neglecting  
component improvements achieved in the market.  
This leads to pessimistic results. Bad prediction  
results, related design restrictions and resulting  
higher product costs were the main reasons why  
the US government recently cancelled the use of  
the MIL-HDBK 217 in army specifications.  
Important Reminder  
Calculations and graphs only give a rough  
guide to the required cooling. The specific card  
and rack design can vary a lot, which makes it  
almost impossible to predict the exact  
temperatures of a Brick.  
It is good practice to verify the thermal  
performance in worst case operating conditions  
with all obstructions in place at highest ambient  
temperature before the card design is finished.  
Reliability  
For power supplies however there is no real  
alternative for predicting reliability in sight.  
Because it is easy to use and has models for all  
components included, the MIL-HDBK-217 is still  
the best method to get a quantitative measure of  
the reliability.  
The reliability of TXS converters was verified using  
the MIL-HDBK and the Physics of failure approach.  
Reliability Prediction  
Reliability prediction is a calculation method, based  
on the analysis of component failure rates of a  
product or a system, with the target to predict the  
rate at which the product will fail. It also pinpoints  
areas for potential reliability improvements.  
Physics of failure (PoF)  
Because of the limitations of reliability prediction,  
PoF is used as a second tool for a qualitative  
measure of the reliability.  
A reliability prediction gives not an exact value  
for an individual module, but a statistical  
estimate for an equipment population in the  
field.  
The basis of the analysis is a general reliability  
prediction model, which describes how the  
components react to electrical, thermal and  
mechanical stress.  
The Physics of failure approach defines a set of  
specific screening and stress tests to detect  
possible failure mechanism, to analyse the stress  
response of the modules and verify their safety  
margins.  
The TXS CD ROM contains the results from a  
“Design Maturity” and a “Design Integrity” test as a  
part of the PoF analysis.  
There are several calculation models available:  
MIL-HDBK 217-F Notice 2  
Belcore TR-332  
PRISM  
Background information about reliability prediction  
and detection methods, the assumptions for the  
calculation with the MIL HDBK and detailed results  
can be found in the “reliability report for TXS DC-  
DC Converters” on the TXS product CD ROM.

Layout Considerations  
The layout for a TXS module has to be done  
carefully to minimise EMI effects and to avoid  
current crowding on the motherboard.  
The application note “TXS layout considerations”  
on the TXS product CD ROM gives some general  
rules how to achieve a good layout. It explains how  
to work with 100A currents, how EMI is avoided,  
how signal wires should be routed and how the  
module should be positioned. It gives safety advice  
and describes the advantages of Bus Bars.  
Screw fixing  
To relieve the solder connections from mechanical  
stress, it is recommended that the modules be  
screwed to the motherboard. This is especially  
important, if an external heatsink is used.

Care should be taken when selecting the screw  
lengths to mount the TXS on the motherboard and  
the heatsink on the TXS. The available thread  
length in the TXS case and the tolerances of the  
screws and the board should be considered.  
The minimum insertion depth of the screw in the  
material should be 4.5 mm. It is recommend to use  
spring washers to compensate for changes in the  
motherboard thickness due to ageing and  
temperature variations.
