TFX12V Power Supply Design Guide
Thin Form Factor with 12-V Connector
1 Introduction
1.1 TFX12V Scope
This document provides design suggestions for a small form factor power supply that is primarily intended for
use with small form factor system designs (9-15 liters in total system volume).It should not be inferred that all
Thin Form Factor with 12 Volt connector (TFX12V) power supplies must conform exactly to the content of this
document, though there are key parameters that define mechanical fit across a common set of platforms.
Since power supply needs vary depending on system configuration, the design specifics described are not
intended to support all possible systems.

1.2 TFX12V Overview
This section provides a brief overview of the unique features of the Thin Form Factor with 12 Volt connector
(TFX12V) power supply design and a summary of the changes included in revision 1.2.
1.2.1 Small System Optimized Profile
The increase in demand for smaller systems results in unique system layout challenges. The Thin Form
Factor with 12 Volt connector (TFX12V) configuration has been optimized for small and low profile microATX
and FlexATX system layouts. The long narrow profile of the power supply (shown in Figure 1) fits easily into
low profile systems. The fan placement can be used to efficiently exhaust air from the processor and core
area of the motherboard, making possible smaller, more efficient systems using common industry ingredients.

1.2.2 Improved Acoustics
As desktop systems become smaller, they are placed in more exposed areas in the home and work place.
The smaller systems are no longer confined to the floor or under the desk, but are placed on the desktop next
to the user. In these situations, noise becomes an important factor to the end user. Thin Form Factor with 12
Volt connector (TFX12V) supplies should use fan speed control techniques to provide a low acoustic profile,
while providing ample cooling to internal components when required.
1.3 Key Changes for TFX12V Version 2.0
This section briefly summarizes the major changes made to this document that now defines ATX12V power
supply. With the move to 12V voltage regulators for the processor, ATX guidelines for 5V as main power are
no longer provided.
1.3.1 Increased +12 VDC Output Capability
System components that use 12V are continuing to increase in power. In cases where expected current
requirements is greater than 18A a second 12 V rail should be made available. ATX12V power supplies
should be designed to accommodate these increased +12 VDC currents.
1.3.2 Minimum Efficiency
Minimum measured efficiency is required to be 70% at full, typical (50%) load and 60% at light (20%) load.
New recommended guidance has been added to provide direction for expected future requirements.
1.3.3 Main Power Connector
The 2 x 12 main power connector replaces the 2 x 10 connector. This change was made to support 75 watt
PCI Express* requirements.
1.3.4 Separate Current Limit for 12V2 on the 2x2 Connector
The 12V rail on the 2 x 2 power connector should be a separate current limited output to meet the
requirements of UL and EN 60950.

2 Electrical
The following electrical requirements must be met over the environmental ranges as defined in Section 5
(unless otherwise noted).
2.1 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 200240 VAC rms nominal. The correct input range for use in a given environment may be either switchselectable 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.

Parameter Minimum Nominal* Maximum Unit
Vin (115 VAC) 90 115 135 VAC
Vin (230 VAC) 180 230 265 VAC
Vin Frequency 47 -- 63 Hz
rms
rms
*Note: Nominal voltages for test purposes are considered to be within ±1.0 V of nominal.
2.1.1 Input Over Current Protection
The power supply shall incorporate primary fusing for input over current protection to prevent damage to the
power supply and meet product safety requirements. Fuses should be slow-blow–type or equivalent to
prevent nuisance trips.1
2.1.2 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.
2.1.3 Input Under Voltage
The power supply shall contain protection circuitry such that the application of an input voltage below the
minimum specified in Section 2.1, Table 1, shall not cause damage to the power supply.
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.

• Flame
• Excessive smoke
• Charred PCB

• Earth ground fault (short circuit to ground or chassis enclosure)
2.2 DC Output
2.2.1 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 any steady state temperature and operating
conditions specified in Section 4.

Note: At +12 VDC peak loading, regulation at the +12 VDC output can go to ± 10%.
2.2.2 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.
