    Application Notes EPM Series Rev.3.1 Energy-Saving Power Module Series May, 2013 Outline The EPM Energy-Saving Power Module Series is a series of energy-saving switching power modules with built-in switching transformers, control ICs, control circuits and switching elements (FET). Attaching the input noise filter, the input rectifier diode and the output smoothing capacitor externally enables the easy creation of power switching with high-efficiency, low-standby power.

  • Page 5 EPM Series Application Notes 1.3 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.
  • Page 6 EPM Series Application Notes 1.6 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 is necessary according to the capacity of the X capacitor.
  • Page 7 EPM Series Application Notes 1.8 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 the devices which share the power supply.

    EPM Series Application Notes 1.9 Input smoothing electrolytic capacitor(C102) The input smoothing electrolytic capacitor has a large effect on the characteristics and life of the product. Select the capacitor by paying attention to the following: ①Install the capacitor very close to the module (M101) and use a wide pattern to connect M101.
  • Page 9 EPM Series Application Notes ③Calculate the guaranteed life of the electrolytic capacitor and check that there is no problem. Since the life calculation expression is different depending on the capacitor manufacturer and type, requesting life calculation by the manufacturer of the capacitor used is recommended.
  • Page 10 EPM Series Application Notes The ripple current of an electrolytic capacitor is a triangle wave high frequencycurrent with the input current (DC current) made the average value. Ripple current is calculated as follows: Discharging current (Idis) Charging current (Ich) Iripple Idis 1.10 Output smoothing electrolytic capacitor(C201)
  • Page 11 EPM Series Application Notes ⑤ When the overvoltage protection operated, check that the rated voltage of the electrolytic capacitor was not exceeded. The following rated voltage is recommended: ・3.3V output : Rated voltage 10Vor more ・5V output : Rated voltage 10Vor more ・12V output...
  • Page 12 EPM Series Application Notes 1.11 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.

  • Page 14 EPM Series Application Notes Startup time adjustment The startup time at which the output voltage rises to 90% of the specified output voltage after input power is first applied is set as follows: Input voltage (VDCin) Output voltage Startup time (ts) The startup time can be adjusted by connecting an external resistor and capacitoras follows: Connect capacitor C to Vcc (pin 11) and -DCIN (pin 10) of M101.
  • Page 15 EPM Series Application Notes 4.2 Input and output capacitors Install the input smoothing capacitor (C102) and output capacitor (C201) close to M101. When there is a PFC output capacitor and a separate inverter smoothing capacitor, these capacitors can be shared. However, when the distance is long, the input smoothing capacitor only for M101 must be installed near M101.
