DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Input Source Impedance
The impedance of the input source connecting to the
DC/DC power modules will interact with the modules
and affect the stability. A low ac-impedance input
source is recommended. If the source inductance is
more than a few μH, we advise adding a 33 to 100 μF
electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 Ω at 100 kHz)
mounted close to the input of the module to improve the
stability.
Layout and EMC Considerations
Delta’s DC/DC power modules are designed to operate
in a wide variety of systems and applications. For
design assistance with EMC compliance and related
PWB layout issues, please contact Delta’s technical
support team. An external input filter module is
available for easier EMC compliance design. Below is
the reference design for an input filter tested with
H48SA12025NN A to meet class B in CISSPR 22.

Safety Considerations
The power module must be installed in compliance with
the spacing and separation requirements of the enduser’s safety agency standard, i.e., UL60950,
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-00 and EN60950:2000 and
IEC60950-1999, if the system in which the power
module is to be used must meet safety agency
requirements. When the input source is 60 Vdc or
below, the power module meets SELV (safety extra-low
voltage) requirements. If the input source is a
hazardous voltage which is greater than 60 Vdc and
less than or equal to 75 Vdc, for the module’s output to
meet SELV requirements, all of the following must be
met:
The input source must be insulated from any
hazardous voltages, including the ac mains, with
reinforced insulation.
One Vi pin and one Vo pin are grounded, or all the
input and output pins are kept floating.
The input terminals of the module are not operator
accessible.
If the metal baseplate is grounded the output must
be also grounded.
A SELV reliability test is conducted on the system
where the module is used to ensure that under a
single fault, hazardous voltage does not appear at
the module’s output.
Do not ground one of the input pins without grounding
one of the output pins. This connection may allow a
non-SELV voltage to appear between the output pin
and ground. The power module has extra-low voltage
(ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. This power
module is not internally fused. To achieve optimum
safety and system protection, an input line fuse is highly
recommended. The safety agencies require a fuse with
30A maximum rating to be installed in the ungrounded
lead. A lower rated fuse can be used based on the
maximum inrush transient energy and maximum input
current.
Soldering and Cleaning Considerations
Vin=48V, Io=25A,
Yellow line is quasi peak mode;
Blue line is average mode.
DS_H48SA12025_05052008
Post solder cleaning is usually the final board assembly
process before the board or system undergoes
electrical testing. Inadequate cleaning and/or drying
may lower the reliability of a power module and
severely affect the finished circuit board assembly test.
Adequate cleaning and/or drying is especially important
for un-encapsulated and/or open frame type power
modules. For assistance on appropriate soldering and
cleaning procedures, please contact Delta’s technical
support team.

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS
Over-Current Protection
The modules include an internal output over-current
protection circuit. If the output current exceeds the OCP
set point, the modules will automatically shut down, and
enter hiccup mode or latch mode, which is optional.
For hiccup mode, the module will try to restart after
shutdown. If the overload condition still exists, the
module will shut down again. This restart trial will
continue until the overload condition is corrected.
Hiccup mode is default mode.
For latch mode, the module will latch off once it
shutdown. The latch is reset by either cycling the input
power or by toggling the on/off signal for one second.
Over-Voltage Protection
The modules include an internal output over-Voltage
protection circuit. If the output voltage exceeds the OVP
set point, the modules will automatically shut down, and
enter hiccup mode or latch mode, which is optional.
For hiccup mode, the module will try to restart after
shutdown. If the over-voltage condition still exists, the
module will shut down again. This restart trial will
continue until the over-voltage condition is corrected.
Hiccup mode is default mode.
For latch mode, the module will latch off once it
shutdown. The latch is reset by either cycling the input
power or by toggling the on/off signal for one second.
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature protection consists of circuitry
that provides protection from thermal damage. If the
temperature exceeds the over-temperature threshold
the module will shut down, and enter in auto-restart
mode or latch mode, which is optional.
For auto-restart mode, the module will monitor the
module temperature after shutdown. Once the
temperature is within the specification, the module will
be auto-restarted. Auto-restart mode is default mode.
For latch mode, the module will latch off once it
shutdown. The latch is reset by either cycling the input
power or by toggling the on/off signal for one second.
Remote On/Off
The remote on/off feature on the module can be either
negative or positive logic. Negative logic turns the
module on during a logic low and off during a logic high.
Positive logic turns the modules on during a logic high
and off during a logic low.
Remote on/off can be controlled by an external switch
between the on/off terminal and the Vi(-) terminal. The
switch can be an open collector or open drain.

Remote Sense
Remote sense compensates for voltage drops on the
output by sensing the actual output voltage at the point
of load. The voltage between the remote sense pins
and the output terminals must not exceed the output

This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote sense compensation and output voltage set
point adjustment (trim).

If the remote sense feature is not used to regulate the
output at the point of load, please connect SENSE(+)
to Vo(+) and SENSE(–) to Vo(–) at the module.
The output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and the trim; however, the maximum
increase is the larger of either the remote sense or the
trim, not the sum of both.
When using remote sense and trim, the output voltage
of the module is usually increased, which increases the
power output of the module with the same output
current.
Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power does not exceed the maximum rated
power.

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS (CON.)
Output Voltage Adjustment (TRIM)
To increase or decrease the output voltage set point,
the modules may be connected with an external
resistor between the TRIM pin and either the
SENSE(+) or SENSE(-). The TRIM pin should be left
open if this feature is not used.
Figure 20: Circuit configuration for trim-up (increase output

If the external resistor is connected between the TRIM
and SENSE (+) pins, the output voltage set point
increases (Fig. 20). The external resistor value

The output voltage can be increased by both the remote

When using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of
the module is usually increased, which increases the
power output of the module with the same output current.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Thermal management is an important part of the
system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation,
sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over
the entire temperature range of the module. Convection
cooling is usually the dominant mode of heat transfer.
Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the
thermal performance of the power module is a wind
tunnel.
Thermal Testing Setup
Delta’s DC/DC power modules are characterized in
heated vertical wind tunnels that simulate the thermal
environments encountered in most electronics
equipment. This type of equipment commonly uses
vertically mounted circuit cards in cabinet racks in which
the power modules are mounted.
The following figure shows the wind tunnel
characterization setup. The power module is mounted
on a test PWB and is vertically positioned within the
wind tunnel. The space between the neighboring PWB
and the top of the power module is constantly kept at
6.35mm (0.25’’).
Thermal Derating
Heat can be removed by increasing airflow over the
module. The module’s maximum device temperature is to
be defined and the measured location is illustrated in
Figure 24. To enhance system reliability, the power
module should always be operated below the maximum
operating temperature. If the temperature exceeds the
maximum module temperature, reliability of the unit may
be affected.
