HIGH FREQUENCY SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES
I — INTRODUCTION
The Kepco FAW 100 Watt Series low profile high frequency switching power supplies employ forward conversion and operate with a 78% efficiency with either a-c or d-c input. A resistor and thyristor soft-start circuit limits start-up surge. Surface mount technology permits efficient
component layout for minimum mounting space. Six models may be selected for outputs of 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, or 48V. “POWER OK” logic and a
green “POWER OK” LED are provided. A steel cover (Model CA 27) is available as an option. Output voltage may be adjusted with a trimmer
accessible near the input-output terminal strip (R65, see Figure 4, View “A”). When the input is cut off, the output is maintained for 15 milliseconds minimum. If the power supply shuts down, it is then necessary to wait 90 seconds minimum (120V a-c input) or 120 seconds minimum
(240V a-c input) before reconnecting the a-c input power to turn on the unit again. EMI filtering meets FCC Class B (100 to120 Volts) rating
and VDE 0871 Class B (220 to 240 Volts) rating. This page contains specifications for each model of the FAW 100 Watt Series. Environmental
specifications for each model are the same.

INPUT:
Voltage: 120V a-c/240V a-c nominal; Range 85-264V a-c; 105-370V d-c (polarity insensitive).
Frequency: Nominal 50-60 Hz; Range 47-440Hz (at 440Hz leakage current exceeds UL/VDE safety leakage standards).
Current (nominal output at rated load): @120V a-c rms: 2.0A typ., 2.4A max; @240V a-c rms: 1.0A typ., 1.6A max.
Initial Turn-on Surge: (one-half of first input cycle): @120V a-c rms, 25A max; @240V a-c rms, 50A max. When the a-c input power is
removed, the soft start circuit requires 30 seconds recovery time before the a-c input power is reconnected.
Brownout Voltage: 80V a-c, 97V d-c.
Switching Frequency: 150KHz typical, nominal load.
