Control and Status

Control hierarchy: Some features, such as output voltage,

can be controlled both through hardware and firmware. For example, the output voltage is controlled both by the signal pin (Vprog) and the PMBus command, (Vout_command) .

Using output voltage as an example; the Vprog signal pin has ultimate control of the output voltage until the Vprog is either > 3Vdc or a no connect. When the programming signal via Vprog is either a no connect or > 3Vdc, it is ignored, the output voltage is set at its nominal 12Vdc and the unit output voltage can be controlled via the PMBus command, (Vout_command).

Analog controls: Details of analog controls are provided in

this data sheet under Signal Definitions.

Common ground: All signals and outputs are referenced to

Output return. These include ‘Vstb return’ and ‘Signal return’.

Control Signals

Voltage programming (V

signal can vary the output voltage ± 10% from 43.2Vdc to

52.8Vdc. The equation of this signal is:

= 43.2 + 3.3 (V

out

If Vprog is > 3V or left open the programming signal is ignored and the unit output is set at the setpoint of 48Vdc.

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 presence of the 12Vdc output

voltage. This is an open collector, TTL level control signal that needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

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 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.

prog

Status signals

Output current monitor (Imon): A voltage level proportional

to the delivered output current is present on this pin. The signal level is 0. 1V per amp ± 0.25V.

AC OK: A TTL compatible status signal representing whether

the input voltage is within the anticipated range. This signal is internally pulled HI to 3.3V via a 10kΩ resistor. A (HI) on this

): An analog voltage on this

prog

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 is internally pulled HI to 3.3V via a 10kΩ resistor. A (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. 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. 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 to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

C protocol in the power supply. This signal needs

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

MCU 0xBx 1 0 1 1 A2 A1 A0 R/W Broadcast 0x00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 EEPROM 0xAx 1 0 1 0 A2 A1 A0 R/W

The Global Broadcast instruction executes a simultaneous write instruction to all power supplies. A read instruction cannot be accessed globally. The three programmable address bits are the same for all I the power supply.

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.

Digital Feature Descriptions

PMBus™ compliance: The power supply is fully compliant to

the Power Management Bus (PMBus™) rev1.2 requirements. Manufacturer specific commands located between addresses

0xD0 to 0xEF provide instructions that either do not exist in the general PMBus specification or make the communication interface simpler and more efficient.

Master/Slave: The ‘host controller’ is always the MASTER.

Power supplies are always SLAVES. SLAVES cannot initiate communications or toggle the Clock. SLAVES also must respond expeditiously at the command of the MASTER as required by the clock pulses generated by the MASTER.

Clock stretching: The ‘slave’ µController inside the power

supply may initiate clock stretching if it is busy and it desires to delay the initiation of any further communications. During the clock stretch the ‘slave’ may keep the clock LO until it is ready to receive further instructions from the host controller. The maximum clock stretch interval is 25ms.

The host controller needs to recognize this clock stretching, and refrain from issuing the next clock signal, until the clock line is released, or it needs to delay the next clock pulse beyond the clock stretch interval of the power supply.

Note that clock stretching can only be performed after completion of transmission of the 9 being the START command.

Figure 1. Example waveforms showing clock stretching.

I²C Bus Lock-Up detection: The device will abort any transaction and drop off the bus if it detects the bus being held low for more than 35ms.

Communications speed: Both 100kHz and 400kHz clock

rates are supported. The power supplies default to the 100kHz clock rate. The minimum clock speed specified by SMBus is 10 kHz.

Packet Error Checking (PEC): Although the power supply will

respond to commands with or without the trailing PEC, it is highly recommended that PEC be used in all communications. The integrity of communications is compromised if packet

ACK bit, the exception

Clock Stretch

error correction is not employed. There are many functional features, including turning OFF the main output, that should require validation to ensure that the correct command is executed.

PEC is a CRC-8 error-checking byte, based on the polynomial

+ x2 + x + 1, in compliance with PMBus™

C(x) = x requirements. The calculation is based in all message bytes, including the originating write address and command bytes preceding read instructions. The PEC is appended to the message by the device that supplied the last byte.

SMBAlert#: The µC driven SMBAlert# signal informs the

‘master/host’ controller that either a STATE or ALARM change has occurred. Normally this signal is HI. The signal will change to its LO level if the power supply has changed states and the signal will be latched LO until the power supply either receives a ‘clear’ instruction as outlined below or executes a READ STATUS_WORD. If the alarm state is still present after the STATUS registers were reset, then the signal will revert back into its LO state again and will latch until a subsequent reset signal is received from the host controller.

The signal will be triggered for any state change, including the following conditions;

 VIN under or over voltage  Vout under or over voltage  IOUT over current  Over Temperature warning or fault  Fan Failure  Communication error  PEC error  Invalid command  Detected internal faults

The power supply will clear the SMBusAlert# signal (release the signal to its HI state) upon the following events:

 Receiving a CLEAR_FAULTS command  The main output recycled (turned OFF and then ON) via

the ENABLE signal pin

 The main output recycled (turned OFF and then ON) by

the OPERATION command

 Execution of a READ of the STATUS_WORD register

Global broadcast: This is a powerful command because it

can instruct all power supplies to respond simultaneously in one command. But it does have a serious disadvantage. Only a single power supply needs to pull down the ninth acknowledge bit. To be certain that each power supply responded to the global instruction, a READ instruction should be executed to each power supply to verify that the command properly executed. The GLOBAL BROADCAST command should only be executed for write instructions to slave devices.

Read back delay: The power supply issues the SMBAlert #

notification as soon as the first state change occurred. During an event a number of different states can be transitioned to before the final event occurs. If a read back is implemented rapidly by the host a successive SMBAlert# could be triggered by the transitioning state of the power supply. In order to avoid successive SMBAlert# s and read back and also to avoid reading a transitioning state, it is prudent to wait more than 2 seconds after the receipt of an SMBAlert# before

Data Sheet

CAR2548FP series rectifier

Input: 90Vac to 264Vac; Output: 48Vdc @ 2500W; 3.3Vdc or 5 Vdc @ 1A

executing a read back. This delay will ensure that only the final state of the power supply is captured.

Successive read backs: Successive read backs to the power

supply should not be attempted at intervals faster than every one second. This time interval is sufficient for the internal processors to update their data base so that successive reads provide fresh data.

Command Descriptions

Operation (01) : By default the Power supply is turned ON at

power up as long as Power ON/OFF signal pin is active HI. The Operation command is used to turn the Power Supply ON or OFF via the PMBus. The data byte below follows the OPERATION command.

FUNCTION DATA BYTE

Unit ON 80 Unit OFF 00

To RESET the power supply cycle the power supply OFF, wait at least 2 seconds, and then turn back ON. All alarms and shutdowns are cleared during a restart.

Clear_faults (03): This command clears all STATUS and

FAULT registers and resets the SMBAlert# line. If a fault still persists after the issuance of the clear_faults

command the specific registers indicating the fault are reset and the SMBAlert# line is activated again.

WRITE_PROTECT register (10): Used to control writing to the

PMBus device. The intent of this command is to provide protection against accidental changes. All supported command parameters may have their parameters read, regardless of the write_protect settings. The contents of this register can be stored to non-volatile memory using the Store_default_code command. The default setting of this register is disable_all_writes except write_protect 0x80h.

Enable all writes 00 Disable all writes except write_protect 80 Disable all writes except write_protect and OPERATION

Vout_Command (21) : This command is used to change the

output voltage of the power supply. Changing the output voltage should be performed simultaneously to all power supplies operating in parallel using the Global Address (Broadcast) feature. If only a single power supply is instructed to change its output, it may attempt to source all the required power which can cause either a power limit or shutdown condition.

FUNCTION DATA BYTE

Software programming of output voltage permanently overrides the set point voltage configured by the Vprog signal pin. The program no longer looks at the ‘Vprog pin’ and will not respond to any hardware voltage settings. If power is removed from the µController it will reset itself into its default configuration looking at the Vprog signal for output voltage control. In many applications, the Vprog pin is used for setting initial conditions, if different that the factory setting. Software programming then takes over once I communications are established.

To properly hot-plug a power supply into a live backplane, the system generated voltage should get re-configured into either the factory adjusted firmware level or the voltage level reconfigured by the margin pin. Otherwise, the voltage state of the plugged in power supply could be significantly different than the powered system.

Vout_OV_warn_limit (42): OV_warning is extremely useful

because it gives the system controller a heads up that the output voltage is drifting out of regulation and the power supply is close to shutting down. Pre-amative action may be taken before the power supply would shut down and potentially disable the system.

OC and OT_fault_ response (47, 50): The default response for

both OC and OT is auto_restart (hiccup). Each register, individually, can be reconfigured into a latched state. Latched and hiccup are the only supported states.

Restart after a latch off: Either of four restart possibilities are

available. The hardware pin Remote ON/OFF may be turned OFF and then ON. The unit may be commanded to restart via i2c through the Operation command by first turning OFF then turning ON . The third way to restart is to remove and reinsert the unit. The fourth way is to turn OFF and then turn ON ac power to the unit. The fifth way is by changing firmware from latch off to restart. Each of these commands must keep the power supply in the OFF state for at least 2 seconds, with the exception of changing to restart.

A power system that is comprised of a number of power supplies could have difficulty restarting after a shutdown event because of the non-synchronized behavior of the individual power supplies. Implementing the latch-off mechanism permits a synchronized restart that guarantees the simultaneous restart of the entire system.

A synchronous restart can be implemented by;

1. Issuing a GLOBAL OFF and then ON command to all power supplies,

2. Toggling Off and then ON the Remote ON/OFF signal

3. Removing and reapplying input commercial power to the entire system.

The power supplies should be turned OFF for at least 20 – 30 seconds in order to discharge all internal bias supplies and reset the soft start circuitry of the individual power supplies.

Auto_restart: Auto-restart is the default configuration for

recovering from over-current and over-temperature shutdowns.

An overvoltage shutdown is followed by three attempted restarts, each restart delayed 1 second, within a 1 minute window. If within the 1 minute window three attempted restarts failed, the unit will latch OFF. If less than 3 shutdowns occur within the 1 minute window then the count

for latch OFF resets and the 1 minute window starts all over again.

Vin_UV_warn_limit (58): This is another warning flag

indicating that the input voltage is decreasing dangerously close to the low input voltage shutdown level.

Status_word (79): returns two bytes of information. The

upper byte bit functionality is tabulated in the Status_word section. The lower byte bit functionality is identical to Status_byte.

Fan_speed (D7): This register can be used to ‘read’ the fan

speed in adjustment percent (0 – 100%) or set the fan speed in adjustment percent (0 – 100%). The speed of the fan cannot be reduced below what the power supply requires for its operation. The register value is the percent number, it is not in linear format.

Invalid commands or data: The power supply notifies the

MASTER if a non-supported command has been sent or invalid data has been received. Notification is implemented by setting the appropriate STATUS and ALARM registers and setting the SMBAlert# flag.

If a non-supported read is requested the power supply will return all 0x00h.

Restart after a lachoff: To restart after a latch_off either of

four restart mechanisms are available. The hardware pin Remote ON/OFF may be turned OFF and then ON. The unit may be commanded to restart via i2c through the Operation command by first turning OFF then turning ON . The third way to restart is to remove and reinsert the unit. The fourth way is to turn OFF and then turn ON ac power to the unit. The fifth way is by changing firmware from latch off to restart. Each of these commands must keep the power supply in the OFF state for at least 2 seconds, with the exception of changing to restart.

A successful restart shall clear all alarm registers. A power system that is comprised of a number of power

supplies could have difficulty restarting after a shutdown event because of the non-synchronized behavior of the individual power supplies. Implementing the latch-off mechanism permits a synchronized restart that guarantees the simultaneous restart of the entire system.

A synchronous restart can be implemented by;

1. Issuing a GLOBAL OFF and then ON command to all power supplies,

2. Toggling Off and then ON the Remote ON/OFF signal

3. Removing and reapplying input commercial power to the entire system.

It is good practice to turn OFF the power supplies for about 20 – 30 seconds in order to discharge all internal bias supplies and reset the soft start circuitry of the individual power supplies.

Control and Read accuracy:

The estimates below are believed to be reasonable under most operating conditions. However, these are typical numbers and not hard bound values that cannot be exceeded. In most nominal operating conditions the returned values are significantly better than these estimates.

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.

LEDs

Three 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.

When the DC_OK LED is GREEN the DC output is present.

When the FAULT_LED is RED then a fault condition exists and the power supply may not provide output power. The table below further defines these states:
