AC Input
Table 1 lists AC input voltage and frequency range for continuous operation. The power supply is capable of supplying full-rated output power over the input voltage ranges as specified.
- When AC Input voltage is lower than 115Vac, 1650W / 1350W total output power must be reduced to 1250W
- The inrush current is less than 100A under the conditions of 230Vrms input and 25°C ambient cold start. The inrush current is limited to the extent that no damage will be done to the power supply under any specified line, load, and temperature conditions. The inrush current will not cause external protection devices (fuses) to trip.
- The leakage current of the power supply module is less than 3.5mA measured at 230Vac input.
- The repetitive ON/OFF cycling of AC input voltage will not damage the power supply.
- The primary fuse is installed for input over-current protection, and meet product safety requirement.
DC Output
DC Output Voltage Regulations
The DC output voltages remain within the regulation ranges shown in Table 2. when measured the at load end of the output connectors under all AC line, O/P loads, and environmental conditions. The voltage regulation will be maintained under continuous operation for a period of time equal to the MTBF specified in section 5.2 at any steady state temperature and operating conditions specified in section
DC Output Efficiency & Eup* requirements
The power supply efficiency is 90% minimum measured at 10%, efficiency is 92% minimum & PFC 0.95 measured at 20%, efficiency is 94% (-0.2% Regulation) minimum measured at 50%, , efficiency is 90% minimum measured at 100% which is 115Vrms conditions.
The efficiency is measured in accordance with the definition released by the 80 Plus Organization (Plug Load Solutions).
The Table 3.1 defines the power supply output load
In order to meet the 2010 and 2013 ErP Lot 6 requirements, AMS & 2014 ErP Lot 3 requirements, and if any Computers use an Alternative Sleep Mode (ASM) then the 5V standby efficiency should be met as shown in Table 4 which is measured with the main outputs off (PS_ON# high state).
DC Output Ripple & Noise
The output ripple & noise specifications listed in Table 5. will meet throughout the load ranges as specified in section 2.2.2 and the nominal line input voltage conditions as specified in section 2.1. Ripple & noise is defined as periodic of random signals over a frequency band of 10Hz to 20MHz. Measurements should be made with an oscilloscope with 20MHz bandwidth. adding a 10uF electrolytic capacitor and a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor across output terminal during ripple & noise measurement.
DC Output Transient Response
The output voltages will remain within the regulation limits specified in Table 2. The load-changing repetition rate is 50Hz to 10KHz, and the transient load slew rate 1.0A/us. The maximum step load size, and output capacitive loading are specified as followings in Table 6.

The DC output voltages are required to remain within the regulation ranges shown in Figure.2
- 5V and 3.3V voltage rails (ATX Multi-Rail power supplies only) start at 80% of full load criteria
- DC output voltage will stay within regulation of +5/- 7% during the step load changes(+12V Capacitive Load 6600uF)
- The 12VHPWR power connector delivers up to 55 A of continuous current to provide a maximum of 600 W of power to the Add-in Card on a 12 V Aux rail, are given in figure 3.
Timing / Housekeeping / control
+5Vsb shall have a power on time of 2 Seconds maximum after application of a valid AC line voltage.
PWR_OK (Power Good Signal)
PWR_OK is a “power good” signal. It will be asserted high by the power supply to indicate that the +5V output is above the under voltage threshold listed in Table 2. of Section 2.2. PWR_OK will be de-asserted to a low state when +5V output voltage falls below under voltage threshold, or when AC power has been removed for a time sufficiently such that power supply operation cannot work normally.
The electrical and timing characteristics of the PWR_OK signal are given in Table 7. and in figure 1.
PS_ON (DC Soft Start)
PS_ON# is an active-low, TTL-compatible signal that allows a motherboard to remotely control the power supply in conjunction with features such as soft on/off, Wake on LAN*, or wake-on-modem. When PS_ON# is pulled to TTL low, the power supply should turn on the four main DC output rails: +12 VDC, +5 VDC, +3.3 VDC, and -12 VDC. When PS_ON# is pulled to TTL high or open-circuited, the DC output rails should not deliver current and should be held at zero potential with respect to ground. PS_ON# has no effect on the +5VSB output, which is always enabled whenever the AC power is present. Table 8 lists PS_ON signal characteristics.
+5Vsb (Standby Voltage Output)
+5Vsb is a standby voltage output that is active whenever the AC power is present. It provides a power source for circuits that must remain operational when the four main DC output rails are in a disabled state. Example uses include soft power control, Wake on LAN, wake on modem, intrusion detection, or suspend state activities. There is over current protection on the +5Vsb output to ensure the power supply will not be damaged if external circuits draw more current than the supply can provide.
Power-on Time
The power-on time is defined as the time from when PS_ON is pulled low to when the12V1, +5V, and +3.3V output are within the regulation ranges specified in Section 2.2.1. The power-on time will be less than 150ms (T1 <150 ms). +5Vsb has a power on time of two second max. after the valid AC Voltages applied.
Rise Time
The output voltage rise from ≤ 10% of nominal to within the regulation ranges specified in section 2.2.1 within 0.2 ms to 20 ms (0.2 ms ≤ T2 ≤ 20 ms)
Power Sequencing
The +12V1 and +5V output levels are equal to or greater than the +3.3V output at all times during power-up and normal operation. The time between the +12V1 or +5V output reaching its minimum in-regulation level and +3.3V reaching its minimum in-regulation level is ≤ 20 msec.
Overshoot at Turn-on / Turn-off
The output voltage overshoot upon the application or removal of the input voltage, or the assertion / de-assertion of PS_ON will be less than 10% above the nominal voltage.
Reset after Shutdown
If the power supply latches into a shutdown state because of a fault condition on its outputs, the power supply can return to normal operation only after the fault condition has been removed and the PS_ON has been cycled OFF/ON with a minimum OFF time of 1 second.
+5Vsb at AC Power-down
After AC power is removed, the +5Vsb standby voltage output will remain at its steady state value for the minimum hold-up time specified in Section 2.2.6 until the output begins to decrease in voltage. The decrease can be monotonic in nature, dropping to 0.0V. There are no other perturbations of this voltage at or following removal of AC power.
Output Protection
Over Voltage Protection
The power supply can provide latch-mode over voltage protection as defined in Table 9.
Under Voltage Protection
The power supply can provide latch-mode Under voltage protection as defined in Table 10.
Over Current Protection
The power supply can provide Over Current Protection as defined in Table 11.
Short-circuit Protection
The power supply will shut down and latch off for shorting the +12V, +5V, +3.3V, and -12V rails to return or any other rails. Shorts between main output rails and +5Vsb will not cause any damage to power supply. +5Vsb can be capable of being shorted indefinitely, but when the short is removed, the power supply will recover automatically or by cycling PS_ON. The power supply can be capable of withstanding a continuous short circuit to the output without damage or overstress to the unit under the input conditions specified in section 2.1.
Over Power Protection
Fold back at 120%~145% over peak load
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
