9 Effective solution for the AC front end of a power supply designed If the bus voltage is greater than 200V, the doubler is with Vicor DC-DC converters. This high performance power system not activated. building block satisfies a broad spectrum of requirements and agency standards. If the bus voltage is greater than 235V as the slope approaches zero, the inrush limiting thermistor is bypassed. Below 235V, The ARM contains all of the power switching and control the thermistor is not bypassed. circuitry necessary for autoranging rectification, inrush current limiting, and overvoltage protection. This module also provides The converters are enabled ~150 milliseconds after the converter enable and status functions for orderly power up/ thermistor bypass switch is closed. down control or sequencing. To complete the AC front-end Bus-OK is asserted after an additional ~150 millisecond delay configuration, the user needs only to add holdup capacitors and a to allow the converter outputs to settle within suitable input filter with transient protection.

10 Specification. Functional Description Power-Down Sequence: (See Figure 9). When input power is turned off or fails, the following sequence occurs as the bus Initial Conditions: The switch that bypasses the inrush limiting voltage decays: PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistor is open when power is applied, as is the switch that engages the strap for Bus-OK is deasserted when the bus voltage falls below voltage doubling. (See Figure 8). In addition, the downstream 205 VDC (Typ). DC-DC modules are disabled via the Enable (EN) line, and Bus-OK. (B OK) is high. The converters are disabled when the bus voltage falls below 200 VDC. If power is reapplied after the converters are disabled, Power-Up Sequence (See Figure 9): the entire power-up sequence is repeated. If a momentary power interruption occurs and power is reestablished before Upon application of input power, the output bus capacitors the bus reaches the disable threshold, the power-up sequence begin to charge.
