Status and Control

Details of analog controls are provided in this data sheet
under Signal Definitions. GE Energy will provide separate
application notes on the I2C protocol. Contact your local
GE Energy representative for details.

1 (TTL HI level) turns ON the 12Vdc output, while a Logic
0 (TTL LO level) turns OFF the 12Vdc output.

A turn OFF command either through this signal (Remote
ON/OFF) or firmware commanded would turn OFF the
12V output.

Enable: This is a short signal pin that controls the

Signal Definitions

All signals and outputs are referenced to Output return.
These include ‘Vstb return’ and ‘Signal return’.

Input Signals

Voltage programming (V

signal can vary the output voltage ± 10% from 10.8Vdc to

13.2Vdc. The equation of this signal is:

V

= 10.8 + (V

out

* 0.96) 0 < V

prog

If 2.5 < Vprog < 3, the output is 13.2V. If Vprog is > 3V
or left open the programming signal is ignored and the
unit output is set at the setpoint of 12Vdc.

Load share (Ishare): This is a single wire analog signal

that is generated and acted upon automatically by power
supplies connected in parallel. The Ishare pins should be
tied together for power supplies if active current share
among the power supplies is desired. No resistors or
capacitors should get connected to this pin.

Remote ON/OFF: Controls the presence of the main

12Vdc output voltage. This is an open collector, TTL level
control signal. This signal needs to be pulled HI
externally through a resistor. Maximum collector voltage
is 12Vdc and the maximum sink current is 4mA. A Logic

presence of the 12Vdc main output. This pin should be
connected to ‘output return’ on the system side of the
output connector. The purpose of this pin is to ensure
that the output turns ON after engagement of the power
blades and turns OFF prior to disengagement of the
power blades.

Write protect (WP): This signal protects the contents of

the EEPROM from accidental over writing. When left
open the EEPROM is write protected. A LO (TTL
compatible) permits writing to the EEPROM. This signal
is pulled HI internally by the power supply.

Output signals

Output current monitor (Imon): A voltage level

proportional to the delivered output current is present on
this pin. 134A = 3V, 100A = 2.25V; accuracy: ± 10%.

AC OK: A TTL compatible status signal representing

whether the input voltage is within the anticipated range.
This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a
resistor. Maximum sink current ≤ 4mA and the max
voltage is 12Vdc. Open collector (HI) on this signal
indicates that the input voltage is applied within the
specified input range.

DC OK: A TTL compatible status signal representing

whether the output voltage is present. This signal needs

to be pulled HI externally through a resistor. Maximum
sink current ≤ 4mA and the max voltage is 12Vdc. Open
collector (HI) on this signal indicates that the output
voltage is present.

Over temp warning: A TTL compatible status signal

representing whether an over temperature exists. This
signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.
Maximum sink current ≤ 4mA and the max voltage is
12Vdc. Open collector (HI) on this signal indicates that
temperatures are normal.

If an over temperature should occur, this signal would
pull LO for approximately 10 seconds prior to shutting
down the power supply. The unit would restart if internal
temperatures recover within normal operational levels. At
that time the signal reverts back to its open collector (HI)
state.

Fault: A TTL compatible status signal representing

whether a Fault occurred. This signal needs to be pulled
HI externally through a resistor. Maximum sink current ≤
4mA and the max voltage is 12Vdc. Open collector (HI)
on this signal indicates that no Fault is present.

This signal activates for OTP, OVP, OCP, AC fault or No
output.

PS Present: This pin is connected to ‘output return’ within

the power supply. Its intent is to indicate to the system
that a power supply is present. This signal may need to
be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

Interrupt (SMBAlert): A TTL compatible status signal,

representing the SMBusAlert# feature of the PMBus
compatible i
needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.
Maximum sink current ≤ 4mA and the pull up resistor
should be tied to 3.3Vdc. Open collector (HI) on this
signal indicates that no Interrupt has been triggered.

Serial Bus Communications

The I²C interface facilitates the monitoring and control of
various operating parameters within the unit and
transmits these on demand over an industry standard I²C
Serial bus.

All signals are referenced to ‘Signal Return’.

Device addressing: The microcontroller (MCU) and the

EEPROM have the following addresses:

Device Address Address Bit Assignments

MCU 0xBx 1 0 1 1 A2 A1 A0 R/W

(Most to Least Significant)

EEPROM 0xAx 1 0 1 0 A2 A1 A0 R/W

Address lines (A2, A1, A0): These signal pins allow up to

eight (8) modules to be addressed on a single I²C bus.
The pins are pulled HI internal to the power supply. For a
logic LO these pins should be connected to ‘Output
Return’

Serial Clock (SCL): The clock pulses on this line are

generated by the host that initiates communications
across the I²C Serial bus. This signal is pulled up
internally to 3.3V by a 10kΩ resistor. The end user
should add additional pull up resistance as necessary to
ensure that rise and fall time timing and the maximum
sink current is in compliance to the I²C specifications.

Serial Data (SDA): This line is a bi-directional data line. .

This signal is pulled up internally to 3.3V by a 10kΩ
resistor. The end user should add additional pull up
resistance as necessary to ensure that rise and fall time
timing and the maximum sink current is in compliance to
the I²C specifications.

EEPROM

The microcontroller has 96 bytes of EEPROM memory
available for the system host.

Another separate EEPROM IC will provide another 128
bytes of memory with write protect feature. Minimum
information to be included in this separate EEPROM:
model number, revision, date code, serial number etc.

See the communications protocol for further information.

Communications Protocol

The I²C protocol is described in detail by the I2C and
PMBus Serial Communications Protocol for the CAR
Family of Power Supplies application note.

LEDs

Two LEDs are located on the front faceplate. The AC_OK
LED provides visual indication of the INPUT signal
function. When the LED is ON GREEN the power supply
input is within normal design limits.

The second LED DC/FLT provides visual indication of
three different states of the power supply. When the LED
is GREEN then there are no faults and the DC output is
present. When the LED is AMBER then a fault condition
exists but the power supply still provides output power.
When the LED is RED then a fault condition exists and
the power supply does not provide output power.
