AC input

DC output

When using an AC input connector and DC output connector, pay attention to the rated voltage and rated
current of the connector. Consider the input voltage, withstand voltage and safety standard demanded values
and provide a clearance between AC input connector pins.

1.4

Fuse (F101)

Since a fuse is not built into the module (M101), always install a fuse at the Live side to ensure safety.
Select the fuse by considering the normal current, in-rush current, ambient temperature, and other conditions.
(Discharge the capacitors in the circuit fully and consider the conditions at which the circuit impedance is lowest
when there is a thermistor or other element whose resistance value changes with temperature.)①Select a rated current of 2 or more times the normal current.
②Consider the rated current rate of change by ambient temperature.(At high temperature: Rated voltage drops)③Check that the in-rush current and normal current are within the blowout characteristic curve of the fuse.
④Select a fuse so that in-rush current and normal current can take sufficient margin to a fuse permission I2t
curve. A required margin is subject to the influence by temperature conditions, and the influence of the numberof times of incoming current which occurs in an expected life. We recommend you to ask a fuse maker apropermargin.
In order to share an input line and an input electrolytic capacitor with another converter, when selecting a fusewith the high fusing current characteristic, and a high-capacity electrolytic capacitor, there is a case which afuse does not blow out at the time of abnormalities. Please perform a safety check enough in such a case.

1.5.1 C101:X capacitor (Across-the-line capacitor)
・ Select the rated voltage matched to the input voltage specifications.
・ Use a safety standard approved product of each country.
1.5.2 C103,C104,C105,C106,C203： Y capacitor (Line bypass capacitor)
・ Use a safety standard approved product of each country.
・ Be careful of the leakage current specified by each safety standard.
・ With a Class II power supply, when connecting directly between the primary and secondary, use areinforced insulation product (Y1 class approved).
・ The Y capacitor comes to have the a lot of effect to the noise by making the pattern short.
・ A noise electric current is radiated by the thing which shunts by C103,C104, I have the effect to which
noise is reduced. When the distance of the pattern connected to two Y capacitors is close, there is apossibility that the effect isn't obtained, so please be careful about routing technique.
・ C203 does not require a safety standard approved product, but since the withstand test voltage applied
between the primary and secondary is divided and applied according to the overall capacitance of C105
and C106 and the capacitance of C203, pay careful attention to the rated voltage.

X capacitor discharge resistance (R101）

The voltage immediately before cutoff is charged in the X capacitor even when the input line is in cutoff status.
With a device at which parts of the same voltage as the X capacitor may be touched, a discharge resistor isnecessary according to the capacity of the X capacitor.
Example) IEC60950: When the X capacitor capacitance 0.1µF is exceeded; the time constant shall be 1 or less.

Rectifying diode(D101)

Always perform full-wave rectification using a bridge diode or general rectifying diodes (use 4 diodes).
When selecting parts, pay attention to the rated voltage, rated current, and temperature rise.
Check that the in-rush current does not exceed the peak surge current and I2t specification of the rectifying
diode.
(Discharge the capacitors in the circuit fully and consider the conditions at which the circuit impedance is lowest
when there is a thermistor or other element whose resistance value changes with temperature.)

Surge current prevention（TH101)

When input power is applied, an in-rush current which charges the input smoothing electrolytic capacitor flows.
An in-rush current that is too large will cause the power supply voltage to become unstable and may affect thedevices which share the power supply. The fuse and rectifying diodes used may also be damaged.
When using a power thermistor to suppress the surge current, select it by paying attention to the following:①Be sure that the temperature is within the operating temperature range of the thermistor.
②Since the characteristic is such that a rated current drop accompanies a temperature rise, check the highest
temperature of the thermistor and that the load current (power supply input current) is the rated current orless at the highest temperature.
③With a power thermistor, the relationship between the maximum value of the usable input voltage (rms) andthe capacitance of the input smoothing electrolytic capacitor are set. Check that the relationship between the
input voltage (rms) and input smoothing electrolytic capacitor is not a problem with the thermistor used.
④Since a power thermistor has a large thermal time constant and its resistance value remains low after the
input is tripped, when the input is repeatedly turned on and off, the surge current cannot be controlled. Whenusing under this condition, check that the effect, etc. on the fuse, bridge diode, and input power supply are no
problem.
The surge current calculation expression is:
As the calculation result is only a reference, conduct a thorough check using actual equipment.

LCπ type filter（L201,C202)

Output ripple voltage reduction is possible to a certain degree by using a low impedance electrolytic capacitor
at C201. However, the addition of a one-stage LCπ type filter is effective in lowering the output ripple voltage
more.
①Since a ripple current equivalent to C201 may flow depending on the impedance of L201, check the ripple
current,temperature rise, and life of C202 also.
②Triangle wave high frequency current also flows in L201. Check that L201 is not saturated at the peakcurrent.
In addition, consider the DC resistance of L201 and check that there is no problem with temperature rise.

・Automatic reset operation
In the output short circuit and overload states, intermittent operation is performed in the low power region.
Operation is automatically reset to normal operation when the short circuit or overload is removed.

2.2

Overvoltage protection function

An overvoltage protection function is provided to prevent damage by impression of an overvoltage onto theload. The operation mode is latch operation.
When the overvoltage protection circuit operated, it is reset by turning off the input and then turning on the
input again.
Reset time changes with input electrolytic capacity, input voltage, etc.
Avoid impressing a voltage onto the output terminals from the outside by wrap around from overvoltage
operation check and the load side at receiving inspection because it may cause damage.
Overvoltage operation check is a method that checks operation by changing the resistance value of Vref.
For more information, please contact us.

2.3

Overheating protection function

An overheating protection function is provided to prevent damage, smoke generation, etc. if the moduletemperature becomes abnormally high for some reason.
The operation mode is latch operation.
When the overheating protection function operated, it is reset by cutting off the input and then turning on the
input again.
Please insure the cause of the over-heat condition is removed prior to resetting the system.

4.2 Input and output capacitors
Install the input smoothing capacitor (C102) and output capacitor (C201) close to M101.
If more than one output capacitor is to be used, all the capacitors must be of the same type and be placed in
the same location so that they are not affected by circuit patterns.
When there is a PFC output capacitor and a separate inverter smoothing capacitor, these capacitors can beshared. However, when the distance is long, the input smoothing capacitor only for M101 must be installednear M101. In addition, when the pattern from the output terminals and load of M101 is narrow and long, makethe pattern wide thick and short because it had an effect on output accuracy.

When a double sided circuit board is used, do not provide a pattern directly below M101 of the parts side of
the circuit board. If there is a pattern directly below M101 of the parts side, the insulation distance between
the primary and secondary sides will not meet the specified value and safety cannot be ensured.
