The PSON# signal is required to remotely turn on/off the power supply, PSON# is an active low signal
that turns on the output power rails. When this is not pulled low by the system, or left open, the outputs
(except the +5VSB) turn off. This signal is pulled to a standby voltage by a pull-up resistor internal to the
power supply.
3.2 Remote On/Off Controlled mode
The cross regulation defined as follows, the output regulation should be within the specified range.
3.3 Regulation
DC output rise time is less than 20 mS at nominal line and full load.
3.4 Rise Time
DC +5V output maintains at least16mS is full 1oad after power off which hold within para 3.1 under
115V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz condition.
3.5 Hold-up Time
5VSB is requierd for the implementation of PS-ON described above. 5VSB is a standby voltage that may
be used to power circuits that require power input during the powered-down state of all power rails. The
5 VSB pin should deliver 5V ± 5% at a minimum of 3A for PC board circuits to operate. Conversely, PC
board should draw no more than 3A maximum form this pin. This power may be used to operate circuits
such as soft power control.

PG-OK is a power good signal and should be asserted high by power supply to indicate that the +5 VDC
and +3.3 VDC outputs are above the under-voltage thresholds of the power supply. When this signal is
asserted high, there should be sufficient mains energy stored by the converter to guarantee continuous
power operation within specification. Conversely, when either the +5VDC or the +3.3VDC output voltage
falls below the under-voltage threshold, or when mains power has been removed for a time sufficiently
long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PG-OK should be deasserted to a low state.
See Figure 1 for a representation of the timing characteristics of the PG-OK,PS-ON, and germane power
rail signals.

A default 3.3V sense line should be implemented pin 13 of the connector.

When the power supply is turned off for a minimum of 2.0 sec. and turn on again, the power good signal
will be asserted.
A TTL compatible signal for the purpose of initiating an orderly start-up procedure under normal input
operating conditions. During power up, this signal is asserted ( low ) until +5V is under regulation and AC
reaches min. line specification range. After all voltage are going appropriate level, the system may have a
turn on delay of 100mS, but no greater than 500mS. During power off the signal should go to low level
before +5V is out of regulation. The low level is 0 to 0.8V and high level is 4.75 to 5.25V. The " Power Good "
signal can drive up to 6 standard TTL loads.
