Description
The KNW015A0F (Sixteenth-brick) series power modules are isolated dc-dc converters that operate over a wide
input voltage range of 36 to 75Vdc and provide a single precisely regulated output. The output is fully isolated from
the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules exhibit high efficiency,
typical efficiency of 92% for 3.3V/15A. These open frame modules are available either in surface-mount (-SR) or in
through-hole (TH) form.

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 architectures. 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 time-delay fuse with a maximum rating of 5 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 Filt ering
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. Highly inductive source
impedance can affect the stability of the power
module. For the test configuration in Figure 7, a 33μF
electrolytic capacitor (ESR<0.7 at 100kHz),
mounted close to the power module helps ensure the
stability of the unit. 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
60950-1 2
nd
Ed., and VDE0805-1 EN60950-1 2nd Ed.
nd
Ed., CSA C22.2 No.
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
pin are to be
OUT
grounded, or both the input and output pins are
to be kept floating.
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 extra-low voltage (ELV)
outputs when all inputs are ELV.
All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of
these modules are rated 94V-0, or tested to the
UL60950 A.2 for reduced thickness.
For input voltages exceeding –60 Vdc but less than or
equal to –75 Vdc, these converters have been
evaluated to the applicable requirements of BASIC

and unearthed SELV outputs.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
maximum 5 A time-delay fuse in the ungrounded lead.

Feature Description
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
turns the module on during a logic high voltage on the
ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low. Negative logic
remote On/Off, device code suffix “1”, turns the
module off during a logic high and on during a logic
low.

logic low is 1mA; the switch should be maintaining a

During a logic high, the typical maximum V
generated by the module is 15V, and the maximum
allowable leakage current at V
If not using the remote on/off feature:
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to V
Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections (See Figure 10). The voltage between
the remote-sense pins and the output terminals must
not exceed the output voltage sense range given in
the Feature Specifications table:
[VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] 10% V
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

Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout
limit, the module operation is disabled. The module
will only begin to operate once the input voltage is
raised above the undervoltage lockout turn-on
threshold, V
UV/ON
.
Once operating, the module will continue to operate
until the input voltage is taken below the undervoltage
turn-off threshold, V
UV/OFF
.
Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection under certain fault conditions,
the unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit.
The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point
T
(Figure 13), exceeds 128-133oC (typical)
ref
depending on T
and airflow, but the thermal
A
shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit
will survive temperatures beyond its rating. The
module can be restarted by cycling the dc input power
for at least one second or by toggling the remote
on/off signal for at least one second. If the auto-restart
option (4) is ordered, the module will automatically
restart upon cool-down to a safe temperature.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output over voltage protection scheme of the
modules has an independent over voltage loop to
prevent single point of failure. This protection feature
latches in the event of over voltage across the output.
Cycling the on/off pin or input voltage resets the
latching protection feature. If the auto-restart option
(4) is ordered, the module will automatically restart
upon an internally programmed time elapsing.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload)
condition, the unit is equipped with internal
current-limiting circuitry and can endure current
limiting continuously. At the point of current-limit
inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. If the unit is
not configured with auto–restart, then it will latch off
following the over current condition. The module can
be restarted by cycling the dc input power for at least
one second, or by toggling the remote on/off signal for
at least one second. If the unit is configured with the

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

Thermal Considerations
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation.
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.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The KNW015A0F modules use an open frame
construction and are designed for a fully automated
assembly process. The pick and place locations on
the module are the larger magnetic core or the
transistor package as shown in Figure 16. The
modules are fitted with a label which meets all the
requirements for surface mount processing, as well as
safety standards, and is able to withstand reflow
temperatures of up to 300
product information such as product code, serial
number and the location of manufacture.
Figure 16. Pick and Place Locations.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by
using open frame construction. Even so, these
modules have a relatively large mass when compared
to conventional SMT components. Variables such as
nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and placement
speed should be considered to optimize this process.
The recommended nozzle diameter for reliable
operation is 5mm. Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 5
mm may also be used within the space available.
Tin Lead Soldering
The KNW015A0F power modules (both non-Z and –Z
codes) can be soldered either in a conventional
Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. The non-Z version of the
KNW015A0F modules are RoHS compliant with the
lead exception. Lead based solder paste is used in
the soldering process during the manufacturing of
these modules. These modules can only be soldered
in conventional Tin/lead (Sn/Pb) process. It is
recommended that the customer review data sheets
in order to customize the solder reflow profile for each
application board assembly. The following
instructions must be observed when soldering these
units. Failure to observe these instructions may result
in the failure of or cause damage to the modules, and
can adversely affect long-term reliability.

In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process
peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than
o
235
C. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC,
wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device
connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse
the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable
solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow
technologies currently used in the industry. These
surface mount power modules can be reliably
soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant
infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For
reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be
established by accurately measuring the modules CP
connector temperatures.

Surface Mount Information (continued)
Lead Free Soldering
The –Z version of the KNW015A0F modules are leadfree (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant, and are both
forward and backward compatible in a Pb-free and a
SnPb soldering process. The non-Z version of the
KNW015A0F modules are RoHS compliant with the
lead exception. Lead based solder paste is used in
the soldering process during the manufacturing of
these modules. These modules can only be soldered
in conventional Tin/lead (Sn/Pb) process. Failure to
observe the instructions below may result in the
failure of or cause damage to the modules and can
adversely affect long-term reliability.
Pb-free Reflow Profile
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C
(Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for
Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for
both Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification
procedures. This standard provides a recommended
forced-air-convection reflow profile based on the
volume and thickness of the package (table 4-2). The
suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC).
The recommended linear reflow profile using
Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Figure 19.
MSL Rating
The KNW015A0F modules have a MSL rating of 3.
Storage and Handling
The recommended storage environment and handling
procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount
packages is 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
varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD-033A).
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.

Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. They are designed to be processed
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes.
A maximum preheat rate of 3
wave preheat process should be such that the
temperature of the power module board is kept below
C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
210
temperature is 260
C, and, for Pb-free solder, the
recommended pot temperature is 270
RoHS-compliant 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 Lineage Power
representative for more details.

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 Lineage Power Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning
Application Note (AN04-001).
