SFX/SFX12V Power Supply Design Guide
Version 2.2
1. Introduction
1.1. Scope
This document provides design suggestions for a family of small form factor power supplies that
are primarily intended for use with microATX and FlexATX systems. The connectors conform
to the basic requirements of the ATX main board specification except that -5 V is not available.
It should not be inferred that all SFX power supplies must conform exactly to the content of this
document. The design specifics described are not intended to support all possible systems,
because power supply needs vary depending on system configuration.
1.2. Proposed changes for Version 2.0
This section provides a brief summary of the proposed changes to revise the SFX Power Supply
Design Guide from Version 1.1 to Version 2.0.
1.2.1. Reformat
This design guide has been reformatted to more clearly show the case outline options.
1.2.2. Increased Power
The trend for faster and more powerful systems results in an increasing need for higher rated
power supplies. Additional power ratings have been added with increased 5 VDC and 12 VDC
current to meet the needs of present and future system needs. Power ratings have been added at
120 W and 150 W. These have been added for guidance and are not intended to limit the choice
of power ratings available.
1.2.3. Increased +5 VSB Current
Trends in PC system power management solutions (for example, Instantly Available PC and
Suspend-to-RAM) are driving a need for increased +5 VSB current capability for all SFX-family
power supplies. The previous +5 VSB output requirement is being raised to 1.0 amps minimum,
with 2.0 amps preferred. Recommendations for momentary peak current have also been added to
enable USB "wake on" devices. See Section 3.3.3 for details.
1.2.4. External Fan Control - Optional
With the implementation of Suspend To RAM (STR or S3 sleep state), the system can obtain a
low power condition without the need for external fan shutoff. In STR mode, the main outputs
including 12 V are not available from the power supply and all system fans and the power supply
fan will be off. FANC and FANM functions described in Version 1.1 have been removed for
Version 2.0. Some vendors may still offer the external Fan functions as an option.

SFX/SFX12V Power Supply Design Guide
Version 2.2
1.2.5. SFX12V
The latest generation of motherboards will have power delivery based on a 12 V rail. To meet
the needs of the higher 12 V current, a new connector has been defined to meet the increased
current needs of these motherboards. Wattages at 160 W and 180 W have been defined to meet
the requirements of Intel Pentium® 4 processor-based systems.

3. Electrical
The electrical requirements that follow are to be met over the environmental ranges specified in
Section 5 unless otherwise noted.
3.1. AC Input
Table 1 lists AC input voltage and frequency requirements for continuous operation. The power
supply shall be capable of supplying full-rated output power over two input voltage ranges rated
100-127 VAC and 200-240 VAC rms nominal. The correct input range for use in a given
environment may be either switch-selectable or auto-ranging. The power supply shall
automatically recover from AC power loss. The power supply must be able to start up under
peak loading at 90 VAC.
Note: Nominal voltages for test purposes are considered to be within ±1.0 V of nominal.
Maximum Unit
rms
rms
3.1.1. Input Overcurrent Protection
The power supply shall incorporate primary fusing for input overcurrent protection to prevent
damage to the power supply and meet product safety requirements. Fuses should be slow-blow–
type or equivalent to prevent nuisance trips1.
3.1.2. Inrush Current Limiting
Maximum inrush current from power-on (with power on at any point on the AC sine) and
including, but not limited to, three line cycles, shall be limited to a level below the surge rating of
the input line cord, AC switch if present, bridge rectifier, fuse, and EMI filter components.
Repetitive ON/OFF cycling of the AC input voltage should not damage the power supply or
cause the input fuse to blow.
1
. For Denmark and Switzerland international safety requirements, if the internal over-current protective
devices exceed 8A for Denmark and 10A for Switzerland, then the power supply must pass international
safety testing to EN 60950 using a maximum 16A over-current protected branch circuit, and this 16A (time
delay fuse) branch circuit protector must not open during power supply abnormal operation (output short
circuit and component fault) testing.
Page 9
SFX/SFX12V Power Supply Design Guide
Version 2.2
3.1.3. Input Under Voltage
The power supply shall contain protection circuitry such that the application of an input voltage
below the minimum specified in Section 3.1, Table 1, shall not cause damage to the power
supply.
3.1.4. Regulatory
At a minimum, both system and power supply typically must pass safety and EMC testing per the
limits and methods described in EN 55024 prior to sale in most parts of the world. Additional
national requirements may apply depending on the design, product end use, target geography,
customer, and other variables. Consult your company’s Product Safety and Regulations
department for more details.
3.1.5. Catastrophic Failure Protection
Should a component failure occur, the power supply should not exhibit any of the
following:
• Flame
• Excessive smoke
• Charred PCB
• Fused PCB conductor
• Startling noise
• Emission of molten material
• Earth ground fault (short circuit to ground or chassis enclosure)
3.2. DC Output
3.2.1. DC Voltage Regulation
The DC output voltages shall remain within the regulation ranges shown in Table 2 when
measured at the load end of the output connectors under all line, load, and environmental
conditions. The voltage regulation limits shall be maintained under continuous operation for a
period of time equal to or greater than the MTBF specified in Section 6.5 at any steady state
temperature and operating conditions specified in Section 5.
Note: At +12 VDC peak loading, regulation at the +12 VDC output can go to ± 10%.
Page 10
SFX/SFX12V Power Supply Design Guide
Version 2.2
3.2.2. Remote Sensing
The +3.3 VDC output should have provisions for remote sensing to compensate for excessive
cable drops. The default sense should be connected to pin 11 of the main power connector. The
power supply should draw no more than 10 mA through the remote sense line to keep DC offset
voltages to a minimum.
3.2.3. Typical Power Distribution
DC output power requirements and distributions will vary based on specific system options and
implementation. Significant dependencies include the quantity and types of processors, memory,
add-in card slots, and peripheral bays, as well as support for advanced graphics or other features.
Tables 3 through 7 show the power distribution for power supplies in the range of 90 W to
180 W. It is ultimately the responsibility of the designer to define a power budget for a given
target product and market.

3.2.4. Power Limit / Hazardous Energy Levels
Under normal or overload conditions, no output shall continuously provide 240 VA under any
conditions of load including output short circuit, per the requirement of UL 1950/CSA 950 / EN
60950/IEC 950.
3.2.5. Efficiency
3.2.5.1. General
The power supply should be a minimum of 68% efficient under maximum rated load. The
efficiency of the power supply should be met over the AC input range defined in Table 1, under
the load conditions defined in Section 3.2.3, and under the temperature and operating conditions
defined in Section 7.
3.2.5.2. Energy Star
The “Energy Star” efficiency requirements of the power supply depend on the intended system
configuration. In the low-power / sleep state (S1 or S3) the system should consume power in
accordance with the values listed in Table 8.
