1. General Overview:

️· This document details the specifications, features, and thermal considerations for a DC/DC power module. It focuses on design and application guidance to ensure reliable operation.
️· Emphasis is placed on thermal management, voltage tracking, and margining capabilities.
️· Testing and characterization are performed in heated vertical wind tunnels to simulate real-world operating conditions.

2. Key Features & Functionality:

️· Voltage Tracking: Offers three tracking methods:
- Sequential Start-up: Used to control the startup order of multiple modules.
- Simultaneous: Ensures modules power up and down together, minimizing voltage differences.
- Ratio-metric: Maintains a proportional voltage relationship between modules.
️· Voltage Margining: Allows for adjusting the output voltage to simulate worst-case scenarios or meet specific requirements. Uses resistors (Rmargin-up, Rmargin-down) connected to the trim pin.
️· Trim Functionality: Allows adjustment of the output voltage. Equations provided to calculate resistor values for specific voltage setpoints.
️· Thermal Considerations: Critical for reliable operation.
️· Designations:
- TRACK Pin: Used for voltage tracking.
- Trim Pin: Used for voltage margining and adjustment.
- On/Off Pin: Used for power control

3. Electrical Specifications & Calculations (Example):

️· Trim Calculation: Rtrim = (10500 - 1000) / (Vo - 0.7525) (for a specific formula to find the correct trim resistor value for a desired output voltage 'Vo')
️· Ratio-metric Calculation: Vo_PS2 = (R2 / (R1 + R2)) * Vo_PS1 (Formula to determine the output voltage of PS2 based on the output of PS1 in ratio-metric tracking).
️· Power Output Limit: Vo.set x Io.max ≤ P max (The maximum output power must not exceed the maximum rated power.)
️· Tables Provided: Two tables provide example values for trim resistors (Rtrim) and external voltage sources (Vtrim) to achieve various output voltage setpoints.

4. Thermal Considerations (Detailed):

️· Importance of Cooling: Adequate cooling is essential to prevent overheating and ensure reliability.
️· Testing Methodology: Modules are tested in a vertical wind tunnel to simulate real-world conditions.
️· Airflow and Temperature: Air velocity and ambient temperature are measured below the module.
️· Thermal Derating: Power modules should always be operated below the maximum operating temperature.

5. Testing Setup:

️· Wind Tunnel Characteristics: The wind tunnel used is a heated vertical wind tunnel.
️· Mounting: The module is mounted on a test PCB and positioned vertically in the tunnel.
️· Fan Duct Height: The height of the fan duct is consistently kept at 25.4mm (1").
️· Dimensions in mm and Inches
