This specification defines a Micro-ATX (SFX-L 1.1) form-factor and SFX12V 4.0 multiple output switching power supply. It defines maximum continuous output at 1200W with 100 to 240Vac input, supporting five outputs: +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, and +5VSB. Features include +5V standby voltage, remote on/off control, and full-range line input capability. An IEC connector is provided for AC input. The power supply incorporates fans for cooling while meeting acoustic requirements.
1. AC Input Characteristics
1.1 AC Input Requirements
The input voltage, current, and frequency requirements for continuous operation are stated in Table 1.

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 |

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.

The output ripple and noise are detailed in Table 5.
Output | Ripple and Noise | Unit |

+3.3V | 40 | mVp-p |
+5V | 40 | mVp-p |
+12V | 80 | mVp-p |
-12V | 80 | mVp-p |
+5VSB | 40 | mVp-p |
Note: 1. When total load is 20W (2% loading), +12V noise is 120mV. 2. This is measured over a bandwidth of 10Hz to 20MHz at the power supply output connector. A 10µF electrolytic capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is placed at the point of measurement.

The diagram shows the power supply connected to a load. A filter comprising a 10µF electrolytic capacitor and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel is placed at the measurement point. An oscilloscope is used for measurement. General notes specify loading conditions, probe connections, and repeating measurements. Filter notes detail capacitor types and ratings. Oscilloscope notes recommend specific equipment.

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 | ||

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 |

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).
