HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HE104 multiple output DC to DC 50 watt converter is a high efficiency, high performance unit that can be supplied with +5V, +12V outputs only or can include features such as, Power Management, Universal Battery Charger, AC Bus termination, -5V output, -12V output and custom output voltages from -42V to +42V.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 1.2 Features DC to DC convertor for PC/104 bus equipped products. “Load Dump” transient suppression on input power supply. Operates from 6VDC to 40VDC input. “Stacks” onto the PC/104 bus. Passthrough or non-passthrough 8 bit and 16 bit versions. 5V, 12V standard, -12V, -5V and battery charger optional.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURATION AND INSTALLATION 2.1 Introduction This chapter describes the configuration and installation of the HE104 power supply. In addition, section 2.2 provides a formula to calculate the available +5VDC. Figure 2-1 shows the HE104 connectors, jumpers and other options.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 2.2 Power Considerations Usable +5V output =10A – (I [-5] + I [-12] 2.4 + I [12] 2.4) The +5V switching regulator is rated at 10A maximum output however, the +5V output, supplies power to the +12VDC, -5VDC and –12VDC regulators. To obtain the usable range of +5V output, “derate”...
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 2.3.2 Output Power Connector Output power is available for non-PC/104 use via connector CN2. Terminal 1: +5VDC output Terminal 2: Common Terminal 3: +12VDC Terminal 4: -12VDC output (optional) Terminal 5: -5VDC output (optional) 2.3.3 Battery Power Connector (Optional) Batteries are connected to the screw terminal block, CN3.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 Examples of NMH0515S can generate the following voltages: 15V by connecting NMH “0V” to HE104 common -30V by connecting NMH +V to Common +30V by connecting NMH –V to Common +42V by connecting NMH –V to +12V output Note: When batteries or external signals are connected to CN3 the Plug-IN Boost regulator (VR3) cannot be installed.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 2.6.2 +5VDC Low Q/ Noise (Q=quiescent) This jumper allows the +5VDC regulator IC1 to be changed from the low ripple noise mode into the low quiescent power mode. This option is most likely to be used when absolute minimum power consumption must be maintained such as, when operating off a limited battery source.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 Figure 2-2, Interrupt IRQ Selection 2.8 Power Management Controller PM104 (optional) The Power Management Controller (PM104) is a microcontroller “plug-in” module for timed on-off control of the HE104, control of the optional battery charger and generation of interrupts to the PC/104 host CPU.

HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 2.10 HE104 Efficiency and Heat Dissipation Calculation The average efficiency for the +5V output of the HE104 is 90 percent. The efficiency, however, at any specific input voltage, output load and ambient temperature many be higher or lower. Typical efficiency is between 88 and 94 percent.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 CHAPTER 3: THEORY OF OPERATION 3.1 Input power protection Input power is connected to the screw terminal block, CN1, which is removable from the socket connector on the circuit board. A 10 ampere “pico” fuse F1 limits the current draw from the power source.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 3.3 Switching regulator, +12VDC A switching regulator IC2, generates the +12VDC output and operates in a “Boost” mode switching regulator configuration which uses inductor coil L2, mosfet Q7, schottky diode Q6, input filter capacitors C9A, C9B, C9C and output filter capacitors C15A and C15B. Capacitors C9A, C9B and C9C work as an output filter for the +5VDC and as an input filter for the +12VDC regulator IC2.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 3.5 Filter Capacitors At 10kHz and above, the impedance of filter capacitors is essentially their effective series resistance (ESR) and this parasitic resistance limits the filtering effectiveness of the capacitors. The filter capacitors absorb the “switching ripple” current with their 100m0hm ESR that absorbs a 5A ripple current and will dissipate 2.5W of heat.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 Note: that only the ESR of the output capacitor is used in the formula. It is assumed that the capacitor is purely resistive at the frequencies about 20kHz. Worst case output ripple is at highest input voltage.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 APPENDIX 2: ADVANTAGES OF USING AC TERMINATION: One of the requirements of embedded electronics is low power consumption. One method of reducing power is to reduce the drive current available to power the expansion bus. With over 80 signal lines, any reduction in current load would have a large impact on overall requirements.
HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 APPENDIX 3: Installation Hints for the HE104 Power Supply: 1. To minimize noise induced into the power supply, connect the HE104 power supply direct to the power supply source (battery) with “dedicated” wires. This makes use of the vehicle battery as a filter.

HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 (P6KE or 1.5KE) will not survive the high-energy discharge of a “load dump”. Special automotive suppressors must be used to use up the 20A to 30A peak currents being shunted. Several manufacturers, such as Motorola, Harris and Seimens, manufacture suppressors specifically for automotive applications.

HE104MAN-V8 Manual 23 June 2005 A variety of temperature sensors can be connected including thermistors and conditioned sensors such as LM35s. The LM35 series is particularly nice because their output voltage is directly proportional to temperature (ie 10mV/C or 10mV/F). In any case, the OEM can “experiment” to determine what works best in their application.
