Characterization
General Information
The converter has been characterized for many
operational aspects, to include thermal derating
(maximum load current as a function of ambient
temperature and airflow) for vertical and horizontal
mounting,
parameters, output ripple and noise, transient
response to load step-change, overload, and short
circuit.
Test Conditions
All data presented were taken with the converter
soldered to a test board, specifically a 0.060” thick
printed wiring board (PWB) with four layers. The top
and bottom layers were not metalized. The two inner
layers, comprised of two-ounce copper, were used to
provide traces for connectivity to the converter.
The lack of metalization on the outer layers as well
as the limited thermal connection ensured that heat
transfer from the converter to the PWB was
minimized. This provides a worst-case but consistent
scenario for thermal derating purposes.
All measurements requiring airflow were made in the
vertical and horizontal wind tunnel using Infrared (IR)
thermography and thermocouples for thermometry.
Ensuring components on the converter do not
exceed their ratings is important to maintaining high
reliability. If one anticipates operating the converter
at or close to the maximum loads specified in the
derating curves, it is prudent to check actual
operating
Thermographic
capability is not available, then thermocouples may
be used. The use of AWG #40 gauge thermocouples
is recommended to ensure measurement accuracy.
Careful routing of the thermocouple leads will further
minimize measurement error. Refer to Fig. H for the
optimum measuring thermocouple locations.
Thermal Derating
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow
rates are given in Fig. x.1 and Fig. x.2 for vertical
and
temperature was varied between 25 °C and 85 °C,
with airflow rates from 30 to 500 LFM (0.15 to 2.5
m/s).
For each set of conditions, the maximum load
current was defined as the lowest of:

(ii) The temperature of the transformer does not
exceed 120 °C, or
(iii) The nominal rating of the converter (30 A on
3.3 to 1.2 V).
During
maximum FET temperature less or equal to 120 °C
should not be exceeded. Temperature at both
thermocouple locations shown in Fig. H should not
exceed 120 °C in order to operate inside the derating
curves.
Efficiency
Fig. x.3 shows the efficiency vs. load current plot for
ambient temperature of 25 ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM
(1.5 m/s) with vertical mounting and input voltages of
36 V, 48 V, and 72 V. Also, a plot of efficiency vs. load
current, as a function of ambient temperature with
Vin = 48 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) with
vertical mounting is shown in Fig. x.4.
Power Dissipation
Fig. x.5 shows the power dissipation vs. load current
plot for Ta = 25 ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5 m/s)
with vertical mounting and input voltages of 36 V, 48
V, and 72 V. Also, a plot of power dissipation vs. load
current, as a function of ambient temperature with
Vin = 48 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) with
vertical mounting is shown in Fig. x.6.
Startup

transient using the ON/OFF pin for full rated load
currents (resistive load) are shown without and with
external load capacitance in Figs. x.7-8, respectively.
Ripple and Noise
Fig. x.11 show the output voltage ripple waveform,
measured at full rated load current with a 10 µF
tantalum and 1 µF ceramic capacitor across the
output. Note that all output voltage waveforms are
measured across a 1 µF ceramic capacitor.
The input reflected-ripple current waveforms are
obtained using the test setup shown in Fig x.12. The
corresponding waveforms are shown in Figs. x.13-14.
