disturbances and preventing excessive EMI emissions and current harmonics. The integrated EMI filter attenuates high frequency current emissions to levels
below EN55022 class B. It also provides dual pole fusing, one fuse in each conductor and protection from line disturbances as outlined in EN61000.
Inrush current is controlled by a resistive element upon initial connection to the AC line. Once the internal capacitances have been charged, the resistive element
is bypassed to reduce losses.
Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) is used to ensure an accurate input current waveform with extremely low harmonic content, exceeding the requirements of
EN61000. This stage also provides active input current limiting which prevents overloading of the input stage while maintaining high power factor.
The output of the PFC stage charges the hold-up electrolytic capacitors which store enough energy to allow the VCCM600 configured product to continue
operating during minor line disturbances. Long lifetime and high temperature capacitors are used which ensures extended lifetime and product reliability.
A highly efficient zero voltage switching circuit is used to drive the isolated transformer from the hold-up capacitors. The output modules connect to the
transformer secondary and provide safe isolated power to a high performance synchronous rectifier power converter. This power converter is controlled using
the latest analog control technology to produce superior output performance in a miniature size.

Input Module Operation
Startup & Shut Down
The VCCM input module operates from a universal input voltage range and s tarts automatically upon application of adequate AC mains voltage (>84Vrms). After
a short delay, the global 5V bias supply starts and the ACOK signal goes high to indicate that the mains voltage is present and input stage is operating correctly.
Once the ACOK signal is high, the output modules turn on and deliver power to the application loads. The power good signals will indicate that the output
voltages are within specification. The diagram bel ow shows the normal start up/shut down sequence and gives typical timings.
Typical timing values at 120Vac 600W 25°C: t
When the AC mains voltage is removed, the internal hold-up capacitors will supply power to the load for typically 20 ms (t4+t5) at maximum power. The ACOK
signal will go low at least 5ms before the output voltages fall below the power good threshold level. This allows the application to prepare for the impending loss
of power. The 5V bias supply will remain on for typically 100ms, after the output modules have turned off.
*Output modules that are adjusted above nominal voltage, will have reduced ACOK warning time.

Standby control
The unit may be completely shut down by shorting (<10Ω) the terminals of J2. The unit will restart once the short is released.
The control uses transformer coupled pluses to detect the short and is fully isolated to 2xMOPP. The voltage present on J2 ranges from +3.3V to -0.8V with a peak
current of 15mA. In active mode, the control is pulsed every 1.3mS while in standby mode the control is pulsed every 400mS. A signal MOSFET or switch may be
used to activate this control. This shutdown will not generate the ACOK warning signal.
Programmable start-up state
The start-up and standby control logic can be inverted by shorting J11 with a jumper. The functionality is shown in the table below.

Hold-up
For short line distubances (<20ms), the output voltages will not be affected*. However, the ACOK signal may still go low to warn that there is an impending loss
of output power. The ACOK signal will return to the high state once the unit has recovered from the disturbance.
*Output modules that are adjusted above the hold-up voltage (as detailed in their respective datasheets), may experience a dip in voltage.
No Load Power/Standby Power Consumption
The no-load power consumption of the VCCM600 series PSU is extremely low when compared to similar configurable power supplies. With the output modules
enabled the unit typically only requires less than 15W with no output load. To reduce the no-load power further the outputs can be disabled using the inhibit
pins. With the outputs disabled the unit typically requires less than 10W. When the unit is in the standby (latched off) state, the power consumption is less than
1W.
Peak Power capability
The input module can provide a peak output power of up to 750W for a period of up to 5 seconds, provided the input current remains below the over current
protection threshold. Peaks of power lower than 750W can be supported for longer times provided the excess watt-seconds are equivalent. For example, 750W
peak for 5 seconds is an excess power of 150W*5s = 750Ws. 650W can be supported for 750Ws/50W = 15s. When using peak power capability, the user must
ensure the average power remains within ratings. Note that input module de-ratings apply to both rated power and peak power.
Input Module Protections
Over current protection (OCP)
The input module is protected from excessive input current by means of an over current protection circuit which limits the input current to approximately 7Arms.
If the OCP threshold is exceeded the unit may shut down and attempt to automatically restart. This shutdown will generate the usual ACOK warning.
Under voltage protection (UVP) & Brown-Out Protection (BOP)
The input module is protected from excessively low input voltages by under voltage and brown out protection circuits that senses the input line voltage. The
under-voltage protection circuit maintains the unit in standby mode until the input voltage rises above the UVP threshold as detailed in the datasheet. Once the
unit is active, the brown out protection monitors the input voltage and shuts down the unit when input voltage goes below approximately 60Vrms. This
shutdown will generate the usual ACOK warning. The unit will restart once the input voltage increases above the UVP threshold.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
The input module is protected from excessive temperatures by means of various internal temperature sensors. If temperature thresholds are exceeded the entire
unit may latch off, with no ACOK warning. To re-enable the unit, it must be allowed to cool, then either disconnect the AC mains for approximately 20 seconds, or
toggle the standby control on J2.
Over Power Protection (OPP)
The input module is protected from excessive power by means of an over power protection circuit. Should the rated power be exceeded the unit will shut down
and attempt to recover automatically.This shutdown will not generate the usual ACOK warning.

Power Ratings
VCCM600 series products must always be operated within stated operating limits. Equipment manufacturers and other users must take the appropriate de-rating
into account when specifying a unit for the intended application. If in doubt, contact your sales representative or Vox Power for assistance.
There are three main de-ratings for the VCCM600 series of configurable power supplies when used in a conduction cooled application,
1. Ambient air temperature
Ambient air temperature de-ratings apply to the input module rated and peak
power only.
(3)
The input module must be de-rated by 2.5% per degree Celsius above 50°C, up to
a maximum of 70°C.
2. Basep late temper ature
Baseplate temperature de-ratings apply to output module rated power, peak
power and rated current, and bias supply power.
The output module parameters must be de-rated by 2.5% per degree Celsius
above 85°C, up to a maximum of 105°C.
3. Input li ne voltage
Input line voltage de-ratings apply to the rated power and peak power for both
the input module and output module.
All parameters must be de-rated by 2.5% for every 3 volts below 120Vrms, down
to a minimum of 85Vrms.
Notes:
1. Ambient air temperature is the air temperature immediately surrounding the PSU.
2. Baseplate temperature is measured at baseplate temperature sensing location TS1.
3. A normalized value of 1 is equivalent to 100%.

Specifying the VCCM600 product for convection or forced air cooling
To specify a VCCM600 ser ies product for an end application, the required output power, minimum input line voltage, maximum ambient, mounting orientation
and air flow rate (if applicable) should be determined. Check the requirements against the closest characteristic plot from the tables above to ensure ratings can
be achieved. Be conservative when specifying the product as convection and forced air cooling can be highly dependent on the end application enclosure and
power supply mounting. The estimated performance must be verified in the end application and temperatures may exceed predicted levels. It is also important
to note that ambient temperature refers to the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the PSU. If the PSU is mounted within an enclosure the enclosure
ambient temperature is likely to be higher than the external air ambient temperature.
Evaluating the VCCM600 product in the end application
To ensure the product is operating within its ratings in the end application the following procedure should be performed during the design stage.
1. Install a thermocouple in position TS1 of the product. (See Mechanical dimensions and mounting for details.) The thermocouple wire should exit on
the top side between slots 2 and 3. The bottom side should be flush for heatsink mounting if necessary. Glue should be used to hold the
thermocouple in place.
2. Setup the application in worst case conditions, considering Input line voltage, Output power, ambient temperature, airflow and cooling restrictions.
3. Power the system and monitor the baseplate temperature until it reaches steady state.
4. Ensure that under worst case conditions, the baseplate temperature cannot exceed the rated temperature as outlined in the power ratings section of
If a cover is placed over the primary components, then the following component temperatures must also be measured to ensure they are below the maximum
specified temperatures.

If excessive temperatures are measured during this evaluation, then one or more of the following remedies may improve thermal performance.
Increase heatsink size
Increase airflow rate
Improve air intake & outlet
