Summary
The K series of DC-DC converters represents a broad and
flexible range of power supplies for use in advanced elec-
tronic systems. Features include high efficiency, high reli-
ability, low output voltage noise and excellent dynamic re-
sponse to load/line changes.
The converter inputs are protected against surges and tran-
sients occuring at the source lines. An input over- and
undervoltage lock-out circuitry disables the outputs if the
input voltage is outside the specified range. Certain types
include an inrush current limitation preventing circuit break-
ers and fuses from being damaged at switch-on.
All outputs are open- and short-circuit proof and are pro-
tected against overvoltages by means of a built-in suppres-
sor diode. The outputs can be inhibited by a logic signal ap-
plied to the connector pin 18 (i). If the inhibit function is not
used pin 18 must be connected with pin 14 to enable the
outputs.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow
visual monitoring of the system at any time.
Full input to output, input to case, output to case and output
to output isolation is provided. The modules are designed
and built according to the international safety standards
IEC/EN 60950 and have been approved by the safety
agencies LGA (Germany) and UL (USA). The UL Mark for
Canada has been officially recognized by regulatory au-
thorities in provinces across Canada.
The case design allows operation at nominal load up to
71°C in a free air ambient temperature. If forced cooling is
provided, the ambient temperature may exceed 71°C but
the case temperature must remain below 95°C under all
conditions.
A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal which
disables the outputs if the case temperature
T
C
exceeds the
limit. The outputs are automatically re-enabled when the
temperature drops below the limit.
Various options are available to adapt the converters to in-
dividual applications.
The modules may either be plugged into 19" rack systems
according to DIN 41494, or be chassis mounted.

Functional Description
DC-DC Converters >100 Watt
Rugged Environment
The input voltage is fed via an input fuse, an input filter, and
an inrush current limiter to the input capacitor. This capaci-
tor sources a single transistor forward converter. Each out-
put is powered by a separate secondary winding of the
main transformer. The resultant voltages are rectified and
their ripples smoothed by a power choke and output filter.
The control logic senses the main output voltage
U
o1
and
generates, with respect to the maximum admissible output
currents, the control signal for the primary switching tran-
sistor.
The second output of double output units is controlled by
the main output but has independent current limiting. If the
main output is driven into current limitation, the second out-
put voltage will fall as well and vice versa.

Valid for -7 versions with NTC, (-9 versions exclude the NTC). Initial switch-on cycle. Subsequent switch-on/off cycles increase the in-
rush current peak value.

1 s max., duty cycle 1% max.
Input Transient Protection
A suppressor diode or a VDR (depending upon the input
voltage range) together with the input fuse and a symmetri-
cal input filter form an effective protection against high input
transient voltages which typically occur in most installa-
tions, but especially in battery driven mobile applications.
Nominal battery voltages in use are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72,
110 and 220 V. In most cases each nominal value is speci-
fied in a tolerance of –30%...+25%.
In certain applications, surges according to RIA 12 are
specified in addition to those defined in IEC 571-1. The
power supply must not switch off during these surges and
since their energy can practically not be absorbed an ex-
tremely wide input range is required. The EK input range for
110 V batteries has been designed and tested to meet this
requirement.
Inrush Current Limitation
The CK, DK, EK modules incorporate an NTC resistor in
the input circuitry which - at initial turn on - reduces the peak
inrush current value by a factor of 5...10 to protect connec-
tors and switching devices from damage. Subsequent
switch-on cycles within short periods will cause an increase
of the peak inrush current value due to the warming-up of
the NTC resistor. See also:
E option.
