Thermal Management:
An important part of the overall system
design process is thermal management;
thermal design must be considered at all
levels to ensure good reliability and lifetime
of the final system. Superior thermal design
and the ability to operate in severe
application environments are key elements
of a robust, reliable power module.
A finite amount of heat must be dissipated
from the power module to the surrounding
environment. This heat is transferred by the
three modes of heat transfer: convection,
conduction and radiation. While all three
modes of heat transfer are present in every
application, convection is the dominant
mode of heat transfer in most applications.
However, to ensure adequate cooling and
proper operation, all three modes should be
considered in a final system configuration.
The open frame design of the power module
provides an air path to individual
components. This air path improves
convection cooling to the surrounding
environment, which reduces areas of heat
concentration and resulting hot spots.
Test Setup: The thermal performance data
of the power module is based upon
measurements obtained from a wind tunnel
test with the setup shown in the wind tunnel
figure. This thermal test setup replicates the
typical thermal environments encountered in
most modern electronic systems with
distributed power architectures. The
electronic equipment in networking, telecom,
wireless, and advanced computer systems
operates in similar environments and utilizes
vertically mounted PCBs or circuit cards in
cabinet racks.
The power module, as shown in the figure,
is mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB)
and is vertically oriented within the wind
tunnel. The cross section of the airflow
passage is rectangular. The spacing
between the top of the module and a parallel
facing PCB is kept at a constant (0.5 in).
The power module’s orientation with respect
to the airflow direction can have a significant
impact on the module’s thermal
performance.

guideline on the Thermal Performance
section for the power module of interest.
The module temperature should be
measured in the final system configuration
to ensure proper thermal management of
the power module. For thermal performance
verification, the module temperature should
be measured at the component indicated in
the thermal measurement location figure on
the thermal performance page for the power
module of interest. In all conditions, the
power module should be operated below the
maximum operating temperature shown on
the derating curve. For improved design
margins and enhanced system reliability, the
power module may be operated at
temperatures below the maximum rated
operating temperature.

Heat transfer by convection can be
enhanced by increasing the airflow rate that
the power module experiences. The
maximum output current of the power
module is a function of ambient temperature
) and airflow rate as shown in the

thermal performance figures on the thermal
performance page for the power module of
interest. The curves in the figures are
shown for natural convection through 2 m/s
(400 ft/min). The data for the natural
convection condition has been collected at
0.3 m/s (60 ft/min) of airflow, which is the
typical airflow generated by other heat
dissipating components in many of the
systems that these types of modules are
used in. In the final system configurations,
the airflow rate for the natural convection
condition can vary due to temperature
gradients from other heat dissipating
components.
Operating Information:
Over-Current Protection: The power
modules have current limit protection to
protect the module during output overload
and short circuit conditions. During overload
conditions, the power modules may protect
themselves by entering a hiccup current limit
mode. The modules will operate normally
once the output current returns to the
specified operating range. There is a typical
delay of 30mS from the time an overload
condition appears at the module output until
the hiccup mode will occur.
Output Over-Voltage Protection: The
power modules have a control circuit,
independent of the primary control loop that
reduces the risk of over voltage appearing at
the output of the power module during a
fault condition. If there is a fault in the
primary regulation loop, the over voltage
protection circuitry will cause the power
module to enter a hiccup over-voltage mode
once it detects that the output voltage has
reached the level indicated on the Electrical
Data section for the power module of
interest. When the condition causing the
over-voltage is corrected, the module will
operate normally.
An optional latching over-voltage protection
is available. On modules with this feature,
the power module will shut down once it
detects that the output voltage has reached
the level indicated on the Electrical Data
section for the power module of interest.
The module remains off unless the input
voltage is recycled.
Thermal Protection: When the power
modules exceed the maximum operating
temperature, the modules may turn off to
safeguard the power unit against thermal
damage. The module will auto restart as the
unit is cooled below the over temperature
threshold. On modules with the latching
over-voltage protection feature, the unit may
latch off during a severe over temperature
condition; the module remains off unless the
input voltage is recycled.
Remote On/Off: - The power modules have
an internal remote on/off circuit. The user
must supply an open-collector or compatible
switch between the Vin(-) pin and the on/off
pin. The maximum voltage generated by
the power module at the on/off terminal is
15V. The maximum allowable leakage
current of the switch is 50uA. The switch
must be capable of maintaining a low signal
Von/off < 1.2V while sinking 1mA.
The standard on/off logic is positive logic.
The power module will turn on if terminal 2 is
left open and will be off if terminal 2 is
connected to terminal 3. If the positive logic
circuit is not being used, terminal 2 should
be left open.
An optional negative logic is available. The
power module will turn on if terminal 2 is
connected to terminal 3, and it will be off if
terminal 2 is left open. If the negative logic
feature is not being used, terminal 2 should
be shorted to terminal 3.

Output Voltage Adjustment: The output
voltage of the power module may be
adjusted by using an external resistor
connected between the Vout trim terminal
(pin 6) and either the Sense (+) or Sense (-)
terminal. If the output voltage adjustment
feature is not used, pin 6 should be left
open. Care should be taken to avoid
injecting noise into the power module’s trim
pin. A small 0.01uF capacitor between the
power module’s trim pin and Sense (-) pin
may help avoid this.

With a resistor between the trim and Sense

With a resistor between the trim and sense

The value of Vref is found in the Electrical
Data section for the power module of
interest. The maximum power available
from the power module is fixed. As the
output voltage is trimmed up, the maximum
output current must be decreased to
maintain the maximum rated power of the
module. As the output voltage is trimmed,
the output over-voltage set point is not
adjusted. Trimming the output voltage too
high may cause the output over voltage
protection circuit to be triggered.
Data Sheet: Belleta® iEA Series –Single Output Eighth Brick
Remote Sense: The power modules feature
remote sense to compensate for the effect
of output distribution drops. The output
voltage sense range defines the maximum
voltage allowed between the output power
terminals and output sense terminals, and it
is found on the electrical data page for the
power module of interest. If the remote
sense feature is not being used, the
Sense(+) terminal should be connected to
the Vo(+) terminal and the Sense (-)
terminal should be connected to the Vo(-)
terminal.
The output voltage at the Vo(+) and Vo(-)
terminals can be increased by either the
remote sense or the output voltage
adjustment feature. The maximum voltage
increase allowed is the larger of the remote
sense range or the output voltage
adjustment range; it is not the sum of both.
As the output voltage increases due to the
use of the remote sense, the maximum
output current must be decreased for the
power module to remain below its maximum
power rating.
EMC Considerations: TDK Innoveta power
modules are designed for use in a wide
variety of systems and applications. For
assistance with designing for EMC
compliance, please contact TDK Innoveta
technical support.
Input Impedance:
The source impedance of the power feeding
the DC/DC converter module will interact
with the DC/DC converter. To minimize the
interaction, a 10-100uF input electrolytic
capacitor should be present if the source
inductance is greater than 1.5uH.
Reliability:
The power modules are designed using TDK
Innoveta’s stringent design guidelines for
component derating, product qualification,
and design reviews. Early failures are
screened out by both burn-in and an
automated final test. The MTBF is
calculated to be greater than 4.8M hours at
full output power and Ta = 40˚C using the
Telcordia SR-332 calculation method.
Improper handling or cleaning processes
can adversely affect the appearance,
testability, and reliability of the power
modules. Contact TDK Innoveta technical
support for guidance regarding proper
handling, cleaning, and soldering of TDK
Innoveta’s power modules.
Quality:
TDK Innoveta’s product development
process incorporates advanced quality
planning tools such as FMEA and Cpk
analysis to ensure designs are robust and
reliable. All products are assembled at ISO
certified assembly plants.

The input reflected ripple is measured with a current probe and oscilloscope. The ripple
current is the current through the 12uH inductor.
The output ripple measurement is made approximately 9 cm (3.5 in.) from the power module
using an oscilloscope and BNC socket. The capacitor Cext is located about 5 cm (2 in.) from
the power module; its value varies from code to code and is found on the electrical data page
for the power module of interest under the ripple & noise voltage specification in the Notes &
Conditions column.
Safety Considerations:
For safety agency approval of the system in
which the DC-DC power module is installed,
the power module must be installed in
compliance with the creepage and clearance
requirements of the safety agency. The
isolation is basic insulation. For
applications requiring basic insulation, care
must be taken to maintain minimum
creepage and clearance distances when
routing traces near the power module.
As part of the production process, the power
modules are hi-pot tested from primary and
secondary at a test voltage of 1500Vdc.
To preserve maximum flexibility, the power
modules are not internally fused. An
external input line normal blow fuse with a
maximum value of 10A is required by safety
agencies. A lower value fuse can be
selected based upon the maximum dc input
current and maximum inrush energy of the
power module.
When the supply to the DC-DC converter is
less than 60Vdc, the power module meets
all of the requirements for SELV. If the
input voltage is a hazardous voltage that
exceeds 60Vdc, the output can be
considered SELV only if the following
conditions are met:
1) The input source is isolated from the
ac mains by reinforced insulation.
2) The input terminal pins are not
accessible.
3) One pole of the input and one pole
of the output are grounded or both
are kept floating.
4) Single fault testing is performed on
the end system to ensure that under
a single fault, hazardous voltages
do not appear at the module output.
