1. AC Input Characteristics

1.1 AC Input Requirements

The input voltage, current, and frequency requirements for continuous operation are stated in Table 1.

Parameter Min Nom Max Unit
Vin 90 100 - 240 264 VACrms
Vin Frequency 47 60 - 50 63 Hz
lin 14 - - 7 A

1.2 AC Inrush Current (Cold Start)

The power supply must meet inrush requirements for any rated AC voltage during turn-on at any phase of AC voltage, during a single cycle AC dropout condition, during repetitive ON/OFF cycling of AC, and over the specified temperature range. The peak inrush current shall be less than the ratings of its critical components, including input fuse, bulk rectifiers, and surge limiting device.

2. DC Output Characteristics

2.1 Output Voltage Regulation Requirements

The power supply output voltage must stay within the following voltage limits shown in Table 2 when operating at steady state.

Parameter Load Regulation Total Range Min Nom. Max Unit
+3.3V +/-3% +/-5% +3.14 +3.30 +3.47 Volts

The power supply output current is shown in Table 3.

Parameter Min Max Peak Unit
+3.3V 0 20 Amps
+5V 0 20 Amps
+12V 0 100 Amps
-12V 0 0.3 Amps
+5VSB 0 3 Amps

Notes: 1. +3.3V and +5V combined load shall not exceed 100W. 2. The average maximum continuous DC output power shall not exceed 1200W.

2.3 Output Transient Response

Table 4 summarizes the expected output transient step sizes for each output. The +3.3V & +5V transient load slew rate is 1.0 A/μs. The +12V transient load slew rate is 5.0 A/μs.

Parameter Maximum Step Size (% of rated output amps) Maximum Step Size (A)
+3.3V 30% load
+5V 30% load
+12V 85% load
+12V (12VHPWR) Steps from 100%→300%
-12V 30%-100% 0.1A
+5VSB 0.5A

Notes: 1. For example, for a rated +5 VDC output of 14A, the transient step would be 30% x 14 A = 4.2 A. 2. Output voltages should remain within the regulation limits of Section 2.1 and the power supply should be stable when subjected to load transients per Table 3 from any steady state load, including any or all of the following conditions: 3. Simultaneous load steps on the +12 VDC, +5 VDC, and +3.3 VDC outputs (all steps occurring in the same direction). 4. Load-changing repetition rate of 50 Hz to 10 kHz. 5. AC input range per Section 1.1 and Capacitive loading per Table 8. 6. The +12V min start load is 5A minimum at dynamic load response test.

Non-operating: 0.01 g²/Hz at 5 Hz, sloping to 0.02 g²/Hz at 20 Hz, and maintaining 0.02 g²/Hz from 20 Hz to 500 Hz. The area under the PSD curve is 3.13 grams. The duration shall be 10 minutes per axis for all three axes on all samples.

4. Protection

Due to overvoltage, over power, and short circuit, the protection function of the power supply circuit is self-operated, and the power is self-locked. There is no output at that time. When these conditions are removed, the power is restored to the normal output state when the power is restarted (PSON# at least 1 second; AC shutdown at least 4 seconds).

4.1 Over-power Protection

The power supply will be shutdown and latch off when output power is within 110-150% of rated DC output. Note: The assurance machine can work at low voltage, full load won't damage the machine.

4.2 Over Voltage Protection

Output Output voltage protection point Unit
Min Nom Max
+3.3V 3.76 4.2 4.3 V
+5V 5.74 6.3 7.0 V
+12V 13.4 15.0 15.6 V
+5vsb 5.74 6.3 7.0 V

4.3 Short Circuit Protection

An output short circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. The power supply shall shut down and latch off for shorting the +3.3VDC, +5 VDC, or +12VDC rails to return or any other rail. Shorts between main output rails and +5VSB shall not cause any damage to the power supply. The power supply shall either shut down and latch off or fold back for shorting the negative rails. +5VSB must be capable of being shorted indefinitely, but when the short is removed, the power supply shall recover automatically or by cycling PS_ON#. The power supply shall be capable of withstanding a continuous short-circuit to the output without damage or overstress to the unit.

4.4 Over Temperature Protection

The power supply will be protected against over temperature conditions caused by loss of fan cooling or excessive ambient temperature. In an OTP condition, the PSU will shutdown. When the power supply temperature drops to within specified limits, the power supply shall latch mode.

4.5 Over Current Protection

The power supply shall have current limit to prevent the +3.3 V, +5 V, and +12V outputs from exceeding the values shown in Table 13. If the current limits are exceeded, the power supply shall shutdown and latch off. The damaged from repeated power cycling in this condition. -12V and 5VSB shall be protected under over current or shorted conditions so that no damage can occur to the power supply. All outputs shall be protected so that no damage occurs to the power supply under a shorted output condition.

Voltage Over Current Limit (Iout limit)
+3.3V 22A minimum; 30A maximum
+5V 22A minimum; 30A maximum
+12V 110A minimum; 150A maximum

5. Power Supply Timing

5.1 Signal Timing Drawing

Figure 2 is a reference for signal timing for main power connector signals and rails.

Figure 2: Signal Timing Diagram

The diagram illustrates the timing relationships between AC power on (VAC), the PS_ON# signal, DC outputs (+12VDC, +5VDC, +3.3VDC), and the Power Good signal (PWR_OK). Key timing parameters T0 through T6 are defined in Table 14, covering AC power on time, power-on time, rise time, PWR_OK delay, PWR_OK rise time, AC loss to PWR_OK hold-up time, and PWR_OK inactive to DC loss delay.

Parameter Description Required
T0 AC power on time <2s
T1 Power-on time < 150ms
T2 Rise time 0.2 - 20 ms
T3 PWR_OK delay 100 - 150ms
T4 PWR_OK rise time < 10 ms
T5 AC loss to PWR_OK hold-up time > 16 ms
T6 PWR_OK inactive to DC loss delay >1ms

The power supply should maintain output regulations per Table 5 despite a loss of input power at the low-end nominal range (115 VAC / 47 Hz or 230 VAC / 47 Hz) at maximum continuous output load as applicable for a minimum of 17ms (T5+T6).

6. Safety

The power supply is designed to meet IEC 62368-1.

6.1 Electrical Strength

Gradually increased from 0V to 1500V is applied between the AC line and the casing, and then kept for 1 minute. The insulation should not breakdown. If the current increases rapidly due to the test voltage and gets out of the way, it is to limit the current. Insulation breakdown that has occurred; corona discharge or flashover is not a single moment that is the breakdown of insulation.

6.2 Ground Resistance

Ground resistance value less than < 0.1 ohm (40A).

6.3 Touch Current

When the input is 250Vac, contact current is less than 3.5mA at 25°C.
