CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an integrated part
of sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included, however, to achieve maximum
safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating
of 15 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this Data Sheet on inrush energy and maximum
dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s Data Sheet for further
information.

Design Considerations
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source impedance
can affect the stability of the power module. For the test
configuration in Figure 12, a 100F electrolytic capacitor, C
(ESR<0.7 at 100kHz), mounted close to the power module
helps ensure the stability of the unit. If the module is subjected
to rapid on/off cycles, a 330F input capacitor is required.
Consult the factory for further application guidelines.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the power
module is used, the power module must be installed in
compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of
the end-use safety agency standard, i.e., UL60950-1 2
CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1 2
nd
Ed., and VDE0805-1 EN60950-1 2nd
Ed.
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous voltage
greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to 75Vdc), for the
module’s output to be considered as meeting the
requirements for safety extra-low voltage (SELV), all of the
following must be true:
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, including
the ac mains.
One V
pin and one V
IN
the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
pin are to be grounded, or both
OUT
The input pins of the module are not operator accessible.
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the whole
system (combination of supply source and subject
module), as required by the safety agencies, to verify that
under a single fault, hazardous voltages do not appear at
the module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the module
without grounding one of the output pins. This may
allow a non-SELV voltage to appear between the
output pins and ground.
The power module has safety extra-low voltage (SELV) outputs
when all inputs are SELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 15 A
fast-acting (or time-delay) fuse in the unearthed lead.
The power module has internally generated voltages
exceeding safety extra-low voltage. Consideration should be
taken to restrict operator accessibility.

Feature Descriptions
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault output overload condition, the
EBDW025A0B module is equipped with internal currentlimiting circuitry and can endure current limiting continuously.
If the overcurrent condition causes the output voltage to fall
below 4.0V, the module will shut down. The module is factory
default configured for auto-restart operation. The auto-restart
feature continually attempts to restore the operation until fault
condition is cleared. If the output overload condition still exists
when the module restarts, it will shut down again. This
operation will continue indefinitely until the overcurrent
condition is corrected.
The IOUT_OC_WARN threshold level, IOUT_OC_FAULT
threshold level, and IOUT_OC_FAULT_RESPONSE can be
reconfigured via the PMBus interface. If the FAULT_RESPONSE
is reconfigured to remain latched off following an overcurrent
shutdown, the overcurrent latch is reset by either cycling the
input power, or by toggling the on/off pin for one millisecond.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The module contains circuitry to detect and respond to output
overvoltage conditions. If the overvoltage condition causes the
output voltage to rise above the limit in the Specifications
Table, the module will shut down. The EBDW025A0B module is
factory default configured for auto-restart operation. The
auto-restart feature continually attempts to restore the
operation until fault condition is cleared. If the output
overvoltage condition still exists when the module restarts, it
will shut down again. This operation will continue indefinitely
until the overvoltage condition is corrected.
The VOUT_OV_FAULT threshold level and VOUT_OV_FAULT
_RESPONSE can be reconfigured via the PMBus interface. If the
FAULT _RESPONSE is reconfigured to remain latched off
following an overvoltage shutdown, the overvoltage latch is
reset by either cycling the input power, or by toggling the
on/off pin for one millisecond.
Overtemperature Protection
The modules feature an overtemperature protection circuit to
safeguard against thermal damage. The circuit shuts down the
module when the default maximum device reference
temperature is exceeded. The module is factory default
configured to automatically restart once the reference
temperature cools by ~25°C.
The OT_WARNING and OT_FAULT threshold levels and
OT_FAULT_RESPONSE can be reconfigured via the PMBus
interface. If the FAULT _RESPONSE is reconfigured to remain
latched off following an overtemperature shutdown, the
overtemperature latch is reset by either cycling the input
power or by toggling the on/off pin for one millisecond.
Input Under Voltage Lockout
When Vin exceeds VIN_ON, the module output is enabled,
when Vin falls below VIN_OFF, the module output is disabled.
VIN_ON and VIN_OFF can be reconfigured via the PMBus
interface. A minimum 2V hysteresis between VIN_ON and
VIN_OFF is required.
Input Over Voltage Lockout
The EBDW025A0B module contains circuitry to detect and
respond to input overvoltage conditions. If the overvoltage
condition causes the input voltage to rise above the limit in the
Specifications Table, the module will shut down. The module is
factory default configured for auto-restart operation. The
auto-restart feature continually monitors the input voltage and
will restart the module when the level falls 7V below the
VIN_OV_FAULT level.
The VIN_OV_FAULT threshold level can be reconfigured via the
PMBus interface.
Remote On/Off (i)
The module contains a standard on/off control circuit
reference to the V
on/off logic options are available. Positive logic remote on/off
turns the module on during a logic-high voltage on the
ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic LO. Negative logic remote
on/off turns the module off during a logic HI, and on during a
logic LO. Negative logic, device code suffix "1," is the factorypreferred configuration. The On/Off circuit is powered from an
internal bias supply, derived from the input voltage terminals.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must supply a
switch to control the voltage between the On/Off terminal and
(-) terminal (V

Load Sharing
For higher power requirements, the EBDW025A0 power
module offers an optional feature for parallel operation (-P
Option code). This feature provides a precise forced output
voltage load regulation droop characteristic. The output set
point and droop slope are factory calibrated to insure
optimum matching of multiple modules’ load regulation
characteristics. To implement load sharing, the following
requirements should be followed:

Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution losses by
regulating the voltage at the remote-sense connections (See
Figure 15). The SENSE(-) pin should be always connected to
(–).The voltage between the remote-sense pins and the

output terminals must not exceed the output voltage sense

Although the output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the
output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase
is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. The amount
of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at
the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When
using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of the module
can be increased, which at the same output current, would
increase the power output of the module. Care should be
taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the
module remains at or below the maximum rated power

Configurable Control Pins
The EBDW025A0B contains two configurable control pins, T/C1
and C2, referenced to the module secondary SIG_GND. See
Mechanical Views for pin locations. The following table list the
default factory configurations for the functions assigned to
these pins. Additional configurations can be accomplished via
the PMBus command, MFR_CPIN_ARA_CONFIG. Following the
table, there is a feature description for each function.

Configuration
Remote On/Off(o)
The module contains an additional remote on/off control input
On/Off(o), via either the T/C1 or C2 pin, reference to the
SIG_GND pin. The factory default configuration is set to ignore
this input, unless activated by the PMBus command, MFR_
CPIN_ON_OFF_CONFIG. This command is also used to
configure the logic for the On/Off(o) pin. Positive logic remote
on/off turns the module on during a logic HI voltage on the
ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic LO. Negative logic remote
on/off turns the module off during a logic HI, and on during a
logic LO. The On/Off(o) circuit is powered from an internal bias
supply, referenced to SIG_GND. To turn the power module on
and off, the user must supply a switch to control the voltage
between the On/Off (o) terminal and the SIG_GND pin
(Von/off(o)). The switch can be an open collector or equivalent
(see Figure 13). A logic LO is Von/off(o) = -0.3V to 0.8V. The
typical Ion/off(o) during a logic low is 330µA. The switch should
maintain a logic LO voltage while sinking 250µA. During a logic
HI, the maximum Von/off(o) generated by the power module is
3.3V. The maximum allowable leakage current of the switch at
Von/off(o) = 2.0V is 130µA. If using an external voltage source,
the maximum voltage Von/off on the pin is 3.3V with respect to
the Vi(-) terminal.
If not using the Remote On/Off(o) feature, the pin may be left
N/C.

36-75Vdc Input; 12.0Vdc, 25.0A, 300W Output
Feature Descriptions (continued)
Power Good, PG
The EBDW025A0B module provides a Power Good (PG) feature,
which compares the module’s output voltage to the module’s
POWER_GOOD_ON and POWER_GOOD_OFF values. These
values are adjustable via PMBus. PG is asserted when the
module’s output voltage is above the POWER_GOOD_ON
value, and PG is de-asserted if any condition such as
overtemperature, overcurrent or loss of regulation occurs that
would result in the output voltage going below the
POWER_GOOD_OFF value.
The PG signal, provided on pin C2, is implemented with an
open-drain node, pulled up via a 10k resistor to 3.3V
internally. For Positive Logic PG (default), the PG signal is HI,
when PG is asserted, and LO, when the PG is de-asserted. For
Negative Logic PG, the PG signal is LO, when PG is asserted,
and HI, when the PG is de-asserted.
The PMBus command MFR_PGOOD_POLARITY is used to set
the logic polarity of the signal.
If not using the Power Good feature, the pin may be left N/C.
Trim, Output Voltage Programming
Trimming allows the output voltage set point to be increased
or decreased; this is accomplished by connecting an external
resistor between the TRIM pin and either the V

The voltage between the Vo(+) and Vo(–) terminals must not
exceed the minimum output overvoltage protection value
shown in the Feature Specifications table. This limit includes
any increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation
and output voltage set-point adjustment trim.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the
output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase
is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. The amount
of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at
the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When
using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of the module
can be increased, which at the same output current would
increase the power output of the module. Care should be
taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the
module remains at or below the maximum rated power
(Maximum rated power = V
Thermal Considerations
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments and sufficient cooling should be provided to help
ensure reliable operation.
Thermal considerations include ambient temperature, airflow,
module power dissipation, and the need for increased
reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of the
module will result in an increase in reliability.
The thermal data presented here is based on physical
measurements taken in a wind tunnel, using automated
thermo-couple instrumentation to monitor key component
temperatures: FETs, diodes, control ICs, magnetic cores,
ceramic capacitors, opto-isolators, and module pwb
conductors, while controlling the ambient airflow rate and
temperature. For a given airflow and ambient temperature, the
module output power is increased, until one (or more) of the
components reaches its maximum derated operating

Layout Considerations
The EBDW025A0B power module series are low profile in order
to be used in fine pitch system card architectures. As such,
component clearance between the bottom of the power
module and the mounting board is limited. Avoid placing
copper areas on the outer layer directly underneath the power
module. Also avoid placing via interconnects underneath the
power module.
For additional layout guide-lines, refer to FLT007A0Z Data
Sheet.
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant, Z version, through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. The non-Z version products use lead-tin (Pb/Sn)
solder and RoHS-compliant components. Both version
modules are designed to be processed through single or dual
wave soldering machines. The pins have an RoHS-compliant,
pure tin finish that is compatible with both Pb and Pb-free
wave soldering processes. A maximum preheat rate of 3C/s is
suggested. The wave preheat process should be such that the
temperature of the power module board is kept below 210C.
For Pb solder, the recommended pot temperature is 260C,
while the Pb-free solder pot is 270C max. Not all RoHScompliant through-hole products can be processed with
paste-through-hole Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional
information is needed, please consult with your GE
representative for more details.

detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing, Shipping and
Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices).
Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for
MSL ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should not
be broken until time of use. Once the original package is
broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of 30°C and
60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating (see
J-STD-025A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will
be a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when
stored at the following conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative
humidity.

Post Solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly
process prior to electrical board testing. The result of
inadequate cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability
of a power module and the testability of the finished
circuit-board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering,
cleaning and drying procedures, refer to GE Board Mounted

Digital Feature Descriptions
PMBus Interface Capability
The EBDW025A0B series is equipped with a digital PMBus
interface to allow the module to be configured, and
communicate with system controllers. Detailed timing and
electrical characteristics of the PMBus can be found in the
PMB Power Management Protocol Specification, Part 1,
revision 1.2, available at http://pmbus.org. The EBDW025A0B
supports both the 100kHz and 400kHz bus timing
requirements. The EBDW025A0B shall stretch the clock, as
long as it does not exceed the maximum clock LO period of
35ms. The EBDW025A0B will check the Packet Error Checking
scheme (PEC) byte, if provided by the PMBus master, and
include a PEC byte in all responses to the master. However,
the EBDW025A0B does not require a PEC byte from the
PMBus master.
The EBDW025A0B supports a subset of the commands in the
PMBus 1.2 specification. Most all of the controller
parameters can be programmed using the PMBus and stored
as defaults for later use. All commands that require data
input or output use the linear format. The exponent of the
data words is fixed at a reasonable value for the command
and altering the exponent is not supported. Direct format
data input or output is not supported by the EBDW025A0B.
The supported commands are described in greater detail
below.
The EBDW025A0B contains non-volatile memory that is used
to store configuration settings and scale factors. The
settings programmed into the device are not automatically
saved into this non-volatile memory though. The
STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command must be used to commit the
current settings to non-volatile memory as device defaults.
The settings that are capable of being stored in non-volatile
memory are noted in their detailed descriptions.
SMBALERT Interface Capability
The EBDW025A0B also supports the SMBALERT response
protocol. The SMBALERT response protocol is a mechanism
through which the EBDW025A0B can alert the PMBus master
that it has an active status or alarm condition via pulling the
SMBALERT pin to an active low. The master processes this
condition, and simultaneously addresses all slaves on the
PMBus through the Alert Response Address. Only the slave(s)
that caused the alert (and that support the protocol)
acknowledges this request. The master performs a modified
receive byte operation to get the slave’s address. At this
point, the master can use the PMBus status commands to
query the slave that caused the alert. Note: The
EBDW025A0B can only respond to a single address at any
given time. Therefore, the factory default state for the
EBDW025A0B module is to retain it’s resistor programmed
address, when it is in an ALERT active condition, and not
respond to the ARA. This allows master systems, which do
not support ARA, to continue to communicate with the slave
EBDW025A0B using the programmed address, and using the
various READ_STATUS commands to determine the cause for
the SMBALERT. The CLEAR_FAULTS command will retire the
active SMBALERT. However, when the EBDW025A0B module
is used in systems that do support ARA, Bit 4 of the
MFR_CPIN_ARA_CONFIG command can be used to
reconfigure the module to utilize ARA. In this case, the
EBDW025A0B will no longer respond to its programmed
address, when in an ALERT active state. The master is
expected to perform the modified received byte operation,
and retire the ALERT active signal. At this time, the
EBDW025A0B will return to it’s resistor programmed address,
allowing normal master-slave communications to proceed.
The EBDW025A0B does not contain capability to arbitrate
data bus contention caused by multiple modules responding
to the modified received byte operation. Therefore, when the
ARA is used in a multiple module PMBus application, it is
necessary to have the EBDW025A0B module at the lowest
programmed address in order for the host to properly
determine all modules’ address that are associated with an
active SMBAlert. Please contact your GE sales representative
for further assistance, and for more information on the
SMBus alert response protocol, see the System Management
Bus (SMBus) specification.
PMBus Addressing
The power module can be addressed through the PMBus
using a device address. The module has 64 possible
addresses (0 to 63 in decimal) which can be set using
resistors connected from the ADDR0 and ADDR1 pins to GND.
Note that some of these addresses (0 through 12, 40, 44, 45,
and 55 in decimal) are reserved according to the SMBus
specifications and may not be useable. The address is set in
the form of two octal (0 to 7) digits, with each pin setting one
digit. The ADDR1 pin sets the high order digit and ADDR0 sets
the low order digit. The resistor values suggested for each
digit are shown in Table 4 (1% tolerance resistors are
recommended).
Figure 26. Circuit showing connection of resistors used to
set the PMBus address of the module.
The user must know which I
system for special functions and set the address of the
module to avoid interfering with other system operations.
Both 100kHz and 400kHz bus speeds are supported by the
EBDW025A0B Barracuda™ Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules
36-75Vdc Input; 12.0Vdc, 25.0A, 300W Output
module. Connection for the PMBus interface should follow
the High Power DC specifications given in section 3.1.3 in the
SMBus specification V2.0 for the 400kHz bus speed or the
Low Power DC specifications in section 3.1.2. The complete
SMBus specification is available from the SMBus web site,
smbus.org.
PMBus Data Format
For commands that set or report any voltage thresholds
related to output voltage (including VOUT_COMMAND,
VOUT_MARGIN, POWER_GOOD and READ_VOUT), the module
supports the linear data format consisting of a two byte
value with a 16-bit, unsigned mantissa, and a fixed exponent
of -12. The format of the two data bytes is shown below:
The value of the number is then given by
Value = Mantissa x 2
For commands that set all other thresholds, voltages or
report such quantities, the module supports the linear data
format consisting of a two byte value with an 11-bit, two’s
complement mantissa and a 5-bit, two’s complement
exponent. The format of the two data bytes is shown below:
The value is of the number is then given by
Value = Mantissa x 2

PMBus Enabled On/Off
The module can also be turned on and off via the PMBus
interface. The OPERATION command is used to actually turn
the module on and off via the PMBus, while the
ON_OFF_CONFIG command configures the combination of
analog ON/OFF pin input and PMBus commands needed to
turn the module on and off. Bit [7] in the OPERATION
command data byte enables the module, with the following
functions:
0 : Output is disabled
1 : Output is enabled
This module uses the lower five bits of the ON_OFF_CONFIG

PMBus Adjustable Input Undervoltage Lockout
The module allows adjustment of the input under voltage
lockout and hysteresis. The command VIN_ON allows setting
the input voltage turn on threshold, while the VIN_OFF
command sets the input voltage turn off threshold. For both
the VIN_ON and VIN_OFF commands, possible values range
from 32.000 to 46.000V in 0.125V steps. VIN_ON must be
2.000V greater than VIN_OFF.
Both the VIN_ON and VIN_OFF commands use the “Linear”
format with two data bytes. The upper five bits [7:3] of the
high data byte form the two’s complement representation of
the exponent, which is fixed at –3 (decimal). The remaining 11
bits are used for two’s complement representation of the
mantissa, with the 11
numbers are valid. The data associated with VIN_ON and
VIN_OFF can be stored to non-volatile memory using the
STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command.

PMBus Adjustable Soft Start Delay and Rise Time
The soft start delay and rise time can be adjusted in the
module via PMBus. The TON_DELAY command sets the delay
time in ms, and allows choosing delay times between 10ms
and 500ms, with resolution of 0.5ms. The TON_RISE
command sets the rise time in ms, and allows choosing soft
start times between 15ms and 500ms, with resolution of
0.5ms. When setting TON_RISE, make sure that the charging
current for output capacitors can be delivered by the module
in addition to any load current to avoid nuisance tripping of
the overcurrent protection circuitry during startup. Both the
TON_RISE and TON_DELAY commands use the “Linear”
format with two data bytes. The upper five bits [7:3] of the
high data byte form the two’s complement representation of
the exponent, which is fixed at –1 (decimal). The remaining 11
bits are used for two’s complement representation of the

mantissa, with the 11
numbers are valid. The data associated with TON_RISE and
TON_DELAY can be stored to non-volatile memory using the
STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command.
Output Voltage Adjustment Using the PMBus
The EBDW025A0B module output voltage set point is
adjusted using the VOUT_COMMAND. The output voltage
setting uses the Linear data format, with the 16 bits of the
VOUT_COMMAND formatted as an unsigned mantissa, and a
fixed exponent of -12 (decimal) (read from VOUT_MODE).
The range limits for VOUT_COMMAND are 5.00V to 13.20V,
and the resolution is 0.244mV.
The data associated with VOUT_COMMAND can be stored to
non-volatile memory using the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL
command.
Output Voltage Margining Using the PMBus
The EBDW025A0B module can also have its output voltage
margined via PMBus commands. The command
VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH sets the margin high voltage, while the
command VOUT_MARGIN_LOW sets the margin low voltage.
Both the VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH and VOUT_MARGIN_LOW
commands use the “Linear” mode with the exponent fixed at
–12 (decimal). The data associated with VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH
and VOUT_MARGIN_LOW can be stored to non-volatile
memory using the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command.
The module is commanded to go to the margined high or low
voltages using the OPERATION command. Bits [5:2] are used
to enable margining as follows:
00XX : Margin Off
0110 : Margin Low (Act on Fault)
1010 : Margin High (Act on Fault)
Measuring Output Voltage Using the PMBus
The module can provide output voltage information using the
READ_VOUT command. The command returns two bytes of
data in the linear format, with the 16 bits of the READ_VOUT
formatted as an unsigned mantissa, and a fixed exponent of
-12 (decimal).
During module manufacture, an offset correction value is
written into the non-volatile memory of the module to null
errors in the tolerance and A/D conversion of V
command MFR_VOUT_READ_CAL_OFFSET can be used to
read the offset - two bytes consisting of a signed 16-bit
mantissa in two’s complement format, using a fixed
exponent of -12 (decimal). The resolution is 0.244mV. The
corrected Output voltage reading is then given by:
