48V Input
Primary Control – PC Pin
Module Enable/Disable
Module Alarm
The module may be disabled by pulling PC to 0V (2.3V max) with
respect to the –Input. This may be done with an open collector
transistor, relay, or optocoupler. Converters may be disabled with
a single transistor or relay either directly or via “OR’ing” diodes for
two or more converters. See Figure 2.
The module contains “watchdog” circuitry which monitors input
voltage, operating temperature and internal operating parameters.
In the event that any of these parameters are outside of their
allowable operating range, the module will shut down and PC will
go low. PC will periodically go high and the module will check to
see if the fault (as an example, Input Undervoltage) has cleared.
If the fault has not been cleared, PC will go low again and the
cycle will restart. The SC pin will go low in the event of a fault
and return to its normal state after the fault has been cleared. See
Figures 3 and 5.
Primary Auxiliary Supply
During normal operation only, the PC Pin can source 5.7V
@ 1.5mA. In the example shown in Figure 4, PC powers a
module enabled LED.
