Purpose / Description
The maxpowerPRO Series are highly reliable power supplies for CompactPCI®systems, which are increasingly used in
communications, industrial, military, aerospace, and other applications. These power supplies offer high power density in plug-
in modules that meet the requirements of the PICMG®power interface specification for CompactPCI® systems.
The converters use the patented EDGETM technology and provide important advantages such as flexible output power,
extremely high efficiency, excellent reliability, full input-to-output isolation, negligible inrush current, hot-swap capability, soft
start, and overtemperature protection.
The inputs are protected against surges and transients occurring on the source lines and cover an operating input voltage
range from 90 to 264 VAC.
Important Note
Please read this operation instruction carefully before applying power. The warranty is subject to correct
input voltages being applied. Repairs or modifications made by anyone other than SCHROFF will
invalidate the warranty. This documentation has been complied with the utmost care. We cannot however
guarantee its correctness in every respect.

Input Transient Protection
A metal oxide VDR (Voltage Dependent Resistor) together with the input fuse form an effective protection against high input
voltage transients, which typically occur in most installations.
Input Fuse
An incorporated miniature slow-blow fuse protects the converter
against further damage in the case of a failure.
Reverse polarity applied to the input of CPD models will cause the
fuse to blow but without other damage.

CPA500 250 VAC, 10 A T Schurter 0034.6925
Note: The fuse is not customer-accessible.
Inrush Current Limitation
The converters incorporate an active inrush current limiter in the input circuitry, which reduces the peak inrush current value
by a factor of 10 – 15 to protect connectors and switching devices from damage.
Note: The inrush current limitation is achieved using electronic circuitry. For effective limitation the converter should not be
switched on and off more frequently than every 8 seconds.
Efficiency
The efficiency graph in the following figure shows the dependence
on input voltage (CPA models).

CPA Series OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Hot Swap
Hot swap is possible. The output voltages may deviate dynamically by ≤5% during the plug-in / plug-out operation.
Output Characteristic and Protection
All outputs are fully protected against continuous opencircuit
(no load) and continuous short-circuit conditions.
All outputs of CPA250 models have a constant current
limitation with a rectangular characteristic. In addition, the total
power from outputs Vo1, Vo2, and Vo3 is limited to Po max,
resulting in a free choice of load distribution between these
outputs. Output Vo4 is disabled in the case of overtemperature
generated by overcurrent.
In CPA500 model, the total power of all four outputs is limited
to Po max.
In all models, all outputs are monitored for overvoltage
condition. If an overvoltage of 120 – 130% is dedected, the
converter is permanently disabled. To reset, the input voltage
must be removed for 60 seconds.
Thermal Considerations
If a converter is mounted in the upright position with
airflow as specified in the general conditions allowing
unrestricted forced-air cooling, and is operated at its
nominal input voltage and power at maximum ambient
temperature TA max (see Temperatures), the
temperature measured at the measurement point of the
case temperature TC (see Mechanical Data) will
approach after an initial warm-up phase the indicated
maximum value of TC max (105 °C). However, the
relationship between TA and TC depends heavily on the
operating conditions and system integration. The thermal
conditions are significantly influenced by the input
voltage, the output current, the airflow, and the
temperature of the adjacent elements and surfaces. TA
max is therefore only an indicative value (contrary to TC
max).
Caution: The installer must ensure that under all operating
conditions TCremains within the limits shown in the diagrams of
fig. 4.
Output power versus temperature TAat Vi nom (CPD/CPA250)
Note: Forced-air cooling or an additional heat sink can improve
the reliability or allow TAto be increased above TA max, provided
that TC max is not exceeded.
Thermal Protection
A temperature sensor fitted on the main PCB provides an
overtemperature warning (degrade) signal 15 °C below
the temperature Tc max, at which the thermal derating
begins to reduce the output power. The output power
returns to the normal value, when the temperature drops
back below this limit; see Temperature Warning and
Shutdown.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Output Filter
The output ripple voltage can be reduced by an external filter to less then 5 mVpp. Recommended values:
• C1, C2: Low ESR capacitor, e.g., OS-CON 100 – 470 µF
• L1, L2: Choke 1 – 2.2 µH with appropriate rated current, e.g., Coiltronics®HC2LP 1 µH /33 A or 2.2 µH /24 A.
Output filter reducing the output ripple of Vo1 and Vo2
Auxiliary Functions Inhibit and Enable
The inhibit input enables (logic high) or disables (logic low, pull down) all outputs, if a logic signal (TTL, CMOS) is applied. In
systems consisting of several converters this feature may be used to control the activation sequence of the converters by
means of logic signals, or to enable the source to start-up, before full load is applied.
Note: If this function is not used, the inhibit pin 39 can be left open-circuit (not connected). If pin 39 is connected to a return pin (e.g., pin 22),
the internal logic will disable all outputs. The inhibit input is protected by a decoupling diode.

others ensuring startup only, when all other pins are already connected to the system providing true hot-swap capability.

CPA Series OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature Warning and Shutdown
A temperature warning circuitry monitors the case temperature TC. Its output signal VDEG#changes from high to low
impedance, when the TCexceeds the upper threshold level, and changes back to high impedance, when TCfalls below the
lower threshold level, which is 85 °C ± 5 °C.
Pin 38 (degrade signal DEG#) is internally connected via the collector-emitter path of an NPN transistor to the signal return pin
22. The current IDEG# through pin 38 should not exceed 40 mA, and VDEG# should not exceed 40 V.
If TC exceeds 105 °C, the converter will be disabled. It resumes operation automatically, once TC falls below 105 °C.
Degrade signal: NPN output VDEG# ≤40 V, IDEG# ≤20 mA Degrade signal VDEG# versus case temperature TC
Power Fail Signal
The power fail circuitry monitors the input voltage and all output
voltages. Its output signal VFAL# changes from high to low impedance
(<0.5 V), when one of the monitored voltages falls below the threshold
level; VFAL# changes back to high impedance, when all monitored
voltages exceed their threshold level.
The threshold levels correspond to approx. 85% of Vo nom. Vi min CPA250
up to Version V115 is not monitored. Vi min of CPA models is considered
as insufficient, when vi remains for typ. 30 ms below √
–
2 • Vi min.
Connector pin 42 (signal VFAL#) is internally connected via the drain-
source path of a JFET (self-conducting type) to the signal return pin 22.
The current IFAL# should not exceed 10 mA. VFAL# should not exceed 40
V, as the JFET is not protected against overvoltage. Power Fail: JFET output, IFAL# ≤10 mA
Sense Lines
(Only for Vo1, Vo2, and Vo3.)
This feature allows the compensation of voltage drops across the connector contacts and if necessary, across the load lines.
To ensure correct operation, all sense lines S+ (Vo1SENSE Vo2SENSE, and Vo3SENSE) should be connected to the
respective power outputs. The common sense return S– (SRTN) should be connected to RTN (pin 5 – 12).
Note: Open sense lines are admissible, but the output voltage regulation will be poor.
The voltage difference between any sense line at its respective power output pin (as measured on the connector) should not
exceed the following values.
Output

Sense line data
Note: If the sense lines S+ and S– compensate for a considerable voltage drop, the output loads shall be reduced in order to respect the
maximum output power.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Active Current Sharing for Vo1, Vo2, Vo3
The current sharing facility, consisting of a single-wire link, should be used, where several converters are operated in parallel
connection, for example, high reliability n+1 redundant systems or systems providing higher output power.
Note: Not more than six converters should be connected in parallel.
Using this feature reduces the stress of the individual converters and improves the reliablity of the system. Interconnection of
the current sharing terminals causes the converters to share the output current evenly. In n+1 redundant systems a failure of a
single converter will not lead to a system failure, since the outputs are already decoupled by FETs and diodes internally.
Passive Current Sharing for Vo4
The output voltage changes slightly with the output current (droop characteristic) ensuring automatic current sharing without
further precautions, when several converters are connected in parallel. An increase in output current decreases the output
voltage according to the following graph. ∆Vo –4% +2%
Output voltage Vo4 versus output current Io4.
