1.1.3 External Sync – Pin 5

An input pin use used to synchronize connected DC-DC output modules for better EMI response, apply
an external clock frequency of 500kHz +/-20% (5V amplitude) to synchronize connected DC-DC output
modules. Since the switching frequency of the module will follow the sync signal frequency, this can be
use to adjust the switching frequency of the modules within allowable range. Note the effective switching
frequency in the module is half of the External Sync input frequency.

1.1.4 GLOBAL INHIBIT/OPTIONAL ENABLE LOGIC “0” (DEFAULT) - Pin 6

This signal is a TTL input to a microcontroller inside the SHP case, an internal 2.2kohm resistor is connected
between this pin and internal 5V supply to make the signal initially HIGH.

Enable Logic “0” (DEFAULT setting), active High is the default Logic when Global Enable Option is NOT
selected. ON except the modules set to Module Option code 1 ‘Module Enable mode’.

When pin is left open or pull HIGH (2V – 5V), the modules are ON and can be disable/enable by PMBus
OPERATION command. The Modules set to Module Option Code 1 ‘Module Enable mode’ will remain OFF
until enable by its Module Inhibit Pin.

When the pin is pull LOW (<0.8V) the modules will turn OFF, the PMBus OPERATION COMMAND alone
cannot enable the modules.

1.1.5 GLOBAL INHIBIT/OPTIONAL ENABLE LOGIC “1” (DEFAULT) - Pin 7

This pin is a TTL input to a microcontroller inside the SHP case, an internal 2.2kohm resistor is connected
between this pin and ground to make the signal initially LOW.

Logic “1” (Default), active LOW is the default Logic when ‘Global Enable Option’ is NOT selected. Upon
application of correct AC input all the modules are ON except the modules set to Module Option code 1
‘Module Enable mode’.

When pin is left open or pull LOW (<0.8V), the modules are ON and can be disable/enable by PMBus
OPERATION COMMAND. The Modules set to Module Option Code 1 ‘Module Enable mode’ will remain
OFF until enable by its Module Inhibit pin.

When pin is pull HIGH (>2V- 5V), the installed modules will turn OFF, the PMBus OPERATION Command
alone cannot enable the modules. The 5V standby output can be used as external supply to drive Pin 7.

1.1.6 GLOBAL INHIBIT/OPTIONAL ENABLE RETURN – Pin 8

Ground reference for Global Enable/Optional Enable. This pin is electrically connected to Pin 10 - +5Vsb
Housekeeping Return.

1.1.7 +5VSB HOUSEKEEPING – Pin 9

+5Vsb Housekeeping is the standby output of the power supply rated 5V/1A. This output is available everytime the input AC
voltage to the power supply is within 85Vac - 264Vac. This output is not affected by Global Inhibit function.

1.1.8 +5VSB HOUSEKEEPING RETURN –Pin 10

The ground reference of +5Vsb housekeeping, this ground is not connected to the chassis of the power supply.

1.2 Pin Description of SHP case J2 – I2C Bus Output connector.

1.2.1 5VCC BUS – Pin 10

This pin is an input to the SHP Case, applying 5V to this signal will provide external power to the I2C devices - EEPROM
and Microcontroller. The pin can be used to enable the I2C communication using external power supply and allow reading
of manufacturing from a non-working PSU without powering the supply. Do not supply voltage >5.5V to prevent damaging
the I2C devices.

1.2.2 SECONDARY RETURN (GND) – Pin 9

Ground Reference for the signals of J2 connector. This pin is electrical connected to Pin 10 = +5Vsb
Housekeeping Return of J1 connector.

1.2.3 SERIAL DATA SIGNAL (SDA) and SERIAL DATA CLOCK (SCL) –Pins 4, 5

These are pins for I2C communication and must be pulled-up in the system by 1K ohm resistor to 5V Housekeeping; a
current source pull-up can also be used. If multiple units are used inside a system, the 5V Housekeeping of each unit must
be connected in parallel in the system, otherwise, the SCL and SDA bus will be pulled low by the unit without AC power.

1.2.4 ADDRESS PINS A0, A1, AND A2 – Pins 6, 7, 8

Multiple confi gured SHP power supplies can be used in a single system, the power supplies can have parallel outputs
or providing multiple outputs. The SHP CASE has three address pins allowing the system to assign different addresses
to multiple PSUs used within the system. The I2C devices inside the SHP-CASE are EEPROM to store FRU data and
microcontroller for PMBus. The table below listed all the possible addresses of the two I2C devices inside the PSU. Pull
the address pin to Secondary Return (COM) to set the address to “0” or High (or open) to set it the address to “1”.

2.1.1 Remote Sense

Pin 1 (+Remote Sense) and Pin 4 (-Remote Sense) are the pair of remote senses for single output modules, and
main output V1 for the dual output module. Pin 9 (+Remote Sense V2) and Pin 10 (-Remote Sense V2) is the pair of
remote sense for slave output V2 of the dual output module.

Connect the –RMT SENSE and +RMT SENSE to output ‘V-’ and ‘V+’ respectively at the point of load to compensate
upto 500mV of voltage drop along the power cables, note that compensating too much voltage drop can cause over­voltage and latch the output. Leaving the remote sense fl oating will not cause the module to malfunction.

2.1.2 REMOTE MARGIN/VPROG Pin 2 and MARGIN (HIGH) – Pin 3

Used to remotely adjust the output voltage regulation by +/- 4% - 6% from nominal setting. Connect Remote Margin (Pin

2) to Margin High (Pin 3) to increase output voltage by 4%- 6% of the output setting. Connect Remote Margin (Pin 2) to
–Remote Sense (Pin 4) to reduce the output voltage by 4% – 6%.

Note: The UVP and OVP threshold limits are reference to PMBus voltage setting and will not track with voltage
adjustment of Remote Margin pins. Some modules have default UVP setting of 95% of nominal which is within the
Remote Margin minimum of -6% of the nominal, adjust the UVP threshold to lower limit (e.g <90%) to avoid hitting the
UVP. The OVP limit is normally set to 115% of nominal which has enough margin from Remote Margin max
+6% of nominal, the OVP limit can be set to 120% of nominal max if more margin is desired. The UVP and OVP
can be adjusted using PMBus operation command. Adjusting the voltage using the Trim-Pot of the modules has the
same limitation as Vprog with respect to UVP and OVP setting.

Remote margining using Single
Pole Center Off switch to achieve 3
possible voltage level.

Remote margining using a
potentiometer to get voltage
adjusment range between 94% ­106% regulation of nominal rating.

2.1.3 Module ISO Inhibit – Pins 6 and Module Inhibit Return - Pin 7

Isolated Inhibit input signals use to remotely enable/disable the module, apply 5V across the Module ISO Inhibit and
Module Inhibit Return to disable the module. The 5Vstandby Housekeeping output can be used to drive Module Inhibit.
When the module is turn OFF by the Inhibit pins , the PMBus MODULE OPERATION COMMAND alone CANNOT
enable the module.

Driving with 5V external supply
and bipolar transistor

When a module is set to ‘Module Enable Option 1’ the output of the module is initially OFF, the PMBus MODULE
OPERATION COMMAND alone CANNOT enable the module. The module can be enabled by applying 5V
across Pin 6 and 7, the 5Vstandby Housekeeping output can be used to drive the pins. When the external
voltage across Pin 6 and 7 is present to enable the module, the PMBus MODULE OPERATION command can
be used to disable/enable the module.

2.1.4 Current Share (SWP) – Pin 8

Current Share Pin is an input/ouput signal of the module, when multiple modules are connected in parallel the Current
Share Pins of each of the parallel modules must be connected together to achieve low error current sharing. Since, the
output voltage of Current Share signal is proportional to the actual output current the pin can be used as output current

monitor, the pin will have 6V nominal output at full rated load.
