nominal input voltage with airflow from output to input.
iHA48040A033V-001 with heatsink maximum Output Current
vs. maximum allowable IMS Temperature at nominal input
voltage with airflow from input to output.
Example: : To estimate the maximum temperature at which an iHA48040A033V* Module can
provide full load with 0.5 m/s (100 lfm) of airflow, at nominal line (48V) using a 1/2” heatsink with
the best orientation, one must first look at the Power Dissipation vs. input voltage and Output
Current plot. From this plot, it can be seen that the iHA dissipates 11.5W* of power (Pd) at full
load. From the Case to Ambient Thermal Resistance vs. Airflow Rate curve, Rca is 2.4oC/W. From
the Output Current vs. maximum allowable IMS Temperature plot for the best orientation heatsink
application, it can be seen that the maximum allowable IMS temperature at the thermal
measurement location (Tc) is 112oC. From the governing equation for the overall thermal
resistance of the module, Tc - Ta = Pd x Rca, the maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is determined
to be 84oC.
Complete thermal de-rating and maximum IMS temperature curves without or with a heatsink
((¼”, ½” or 1”) are available upon request from TDK Innoveta.
* Please note that the Power Dissipation curve is for Tamb = 25oC. At higher temperatures, power
dissipation may be higher. Consult with TDK Innoveta if operating at high ambient temperatures.
The thermal curves provided are based upon measurements made in TDK Innoveta’s experimental test setup that is
described in the Thermal Management section. Due to the large number of variables in system design, TDK Innoveta
recommends that the user verify the module’s thermal performance in the end application. The critical component
should be thermo-coupled and monitored, and should not exceed the temperature limit specified in the derating curve
above. It is critical that the thermocouple be mounted in a manner that gives direct thermal contact otherwise significant
measurement errors may result.

Thermal Management:
kept at a constant (0.5 in). The power
module’s orientation with respect to the
airflow direction can have a significant
impact on the unit’s thermal performance.
An important part of the overall system
design process is thermal management;
thermal design must be considered at all
levels to ensure good reliability and lifetime
of the final system. Superior thermal design
and the ability to operate in severe
application environments are key elements
of a robust, reliable power module.
Adjacent PCB
Module
Centerline
A finite amount of heat must be dissipated
from the power module to the surrounding
environment. This heat is transferred by the
three modes of heat transfer: convection,
conduction and radiation. While all three
modes of heat transfer are present in every
application, convection is the dominant
mode of heat transfer in most applications.
However, to ensure adequate cooling and
proper operation, all three modes should be
considered in a final system configuration.

The open frame design of the power module
provides an air path to individual

convection cooling to the surrounding
environment, which reduces areas of heat

Test Setup: The thermal performance data
of the power module is based upon
measurements obtained from a wind tunnel
test with the setup shown in the wind tunnel
figure. This thermal test setup replicates the
typical thermal environments encountered in
most modern electronic systems with
Thermal Derating: For proper application of
the power module in
a
given thermal
environment, output current derating curves
are provided as a design guideline in the
Thermal Performance section for the power
module of interest. The module temperature
should be measured in the final system
configuration to ensure proper thermal
management of the power module. For
thermal performance verification, the module
temperature should be measured at the
distributed
power
architectures.
The
electronic equipment in networking, telecom,
wireless, and advanced computer systems

the
thermal
measurement location figure in the Thermal
Performance section for the power module
of interest. In all conditions, the power
module should be operated below the
maximum operating temperature shown on
the derating curve. For improved design
margins and enhanced system reliability, the
power module may be operated at
temperatures below the maximum rated
operating temperature.
The power module is mounted on a 0.062
inch thick, 6 layer, 2oz/layer PCB and is
vertically oriented within the wind tunnel.
Power is routed on the internal layers of the
PCB. The outer copper layers are thermally
decoupled from the converter to better
simulate the customer’s application. This
also results in a more conservative derating.

Heat transfer by convection can be
enhanced by increasing the airflow rate that
the power module experiences. The
maximum output current of the power
module is a function of ambient temperature
(TAMB) and airflow rate as shown in the
thermal performance figures on the thermal
performance page for the power module of
interest. The curves in the figures are shown
for natural convection through 3 m/s (600
ft/min). The data for the natural convection
condition has been collected at 0.3 m/s (60
ft/min) of airflow which is the typical airflow
generated by other heat dissipating
components in many of the systems that
these types of modules are used in. In the
final system configurations, the airflow rate
for the natural convection condition can vary
due to temperature gradients from other
heat dissipating components.
Standard heatsink kits are available from
TDK Innoveta for vertical module mounting
in two different orientations (longitudinal –
perpendicular to the direction of the pins and
transverse – parallel to the direction of the
pins). The heatsink kit contains four M3 x
0.5 steel mounting screws and a precut
thermal interface pad for improved thermal
resistance between the power module and
the heatsink. The screws should be installed
using a torque-limiting driver set between
0.35 and 0.55 Nm (3-5 in-lbs).
During heatsink assembly, the base-plate to
heatsink interface must be carefully
managed. A thermal pad may be required
to reduce mechanical-assembly-related
stresses
and
improve
the
thermal
connection. Please contact TDK Innoveta
Engineering for recommendations on this
subject.
Heatsink Usage: For applications with
demanding environmental requirements,
such as higher ambient temperatures or
higher power dissipation, the thermal
performance of the power module can be
improved by attaching a heatsink or cold
plate. The iHx platform is designed with a
base plate with four M3 X 0.5 through-
threaded mounting fillings for attaching a
heatsink or cold plate. The addition of a
heatsink can reduce the airflow requirement
and ensure consistent operation and
extended reliability of the system. With
improved thermal performance, more power
can be delivered at a given environmental
condition.
The system designer must use an accurate
estimate or actual measurement of the
internal airflow rate and temperature when
doing the heatsink thermal analysis. For
each application, a review of the heatsink fin
orientation should be completed to verify
proper fin alignment with airflow direction to
maximize the heatsink effectiveness. With
respect to TDK Innoveta standard heatsinks,
contact TDK Innoveta for the latest
performance data.

It is recommended that the power module be
kept off for at least 100mS each time it is
turned off.
Operating Information:
Over-Current Protection: The power
modules have current limit protection to
protect the module during output overload and
short circuit conditions. During overload
conditions, the power modules may protect
themselves by entering a hiccup current limit
mode. The modules will operate normally
once the output current returns to the
specified operating range. There is a typical
delay of 2mS from the time an overload
condition appears at the module output until
the hiccup mode will occur.
The standard on/off logic is positive logic. The
power module will turn on if terminal 2 is left
open and will be off if terminal 2 is connected
to terminal 4. An optional negative logic is
available. The power module will turn on if
terminal 2 is connected to terminal 4, and it
will be off if terminal 2 is left open.
Vin (+)
On/ Off
Output Over-Voltage Protection: The power
modules have a control circuit, independent of
the primary control loop that reduces the risk
of over voltage appearing at the output of the
power module during a fault condition. If there
is a fault in the primary regulation loop, the
over voltage protection circuitry will cause the
power module to shut down. The module
remains off unless either the input power is
recycled or the on/off switch is toggled.
Vin(-)
An On/Off Control Circuit
Output Voltage Adjustment: The output
voltage of the power module may be adjusted
by using an external resistor connected
between the Vout trim terminal (pin 7) and
either the Sense (+) or Sense (-) terminal. If
the output voltage adjustment feature is not
used, pin 7 should be left open. Care should
be taken to avoid injecting noise into the
power module’s trim pin. A small 0.01uF
capacitor between the power module’s trim
pin and Sense (-) pin may help avoid this.
The iHA VetaÒ family also offers a hiccup
over-voltage protection once it detects that the
output voltage has reached the level indicated
in the Electrical Data section for the power
module of interest. When the condition
causing the over-voltage is corrected, the
module will operate normally.
Thermal Protection: When the power
modules exceed the maximum operating
temperature, the modules may turn-off to
safeguard the power unit against thermal
damage. The module will auto restart as the
unit is cooled below the over temperature
threshold.

Remote On/Off: - The power modules have
an internal remote on/off circuit. The user
must supply an open-collector or compatible
switch between the Vin(-) pin and the on/off
pin. The maximum voltage generated by the
power module at the on/off terminal is 15V.
The maximum allowable leakage current of
the switch is 50uA. The switch must be
capable of maintaining a low signal Von/off <
1.2V while sinking 1mA.

Remote Sense: The power modules feature
remote sense to compensate for the effect of
output distribution drops. The output voltage
sense range defines the maximum voltage
allowed between the output power terminals
and output sense terminals, and it is found on
the electrical data page for the power module
of interest. If the remote sense feature is not
being used, the Sense(+) terminal should be
connected to the Vo(+) terminal and the
Sense (-) terminal should be connected to the
Vo(-) terminal. The output voltage at the Vo(+)
and Vo(-) terminals can be increased by either

The input reflected ripple is measured with a current probe and oscilloscope. The ripple current is the current through the
12uH inductor. The capacitor Cin shall be at least 100uF/100V. One 470uF or two 220uF/100V capacitors in parallel are
recommended.
The output ripple measurement is made approximately 9 cm (3.5 in.) from the power module using an oscilloscope and
BNC socket. The capacitor Cext is located about 5 cm (2 in.) from the power module; its value varies from code to code
and is found on the electrical data page for the power module of interest under the ripple & noise voltage specification in
the Notes & Conditions column.
60Vdc, the output can be considered SELV
only if the following conditions are met:
Safety Considerations:
1) The input source is isolated from the
ac mains by reinforced insulation.
2) The input terminal pins are not
accessible.
3) One pole of the input and one pole of
the output are grounded or both are
kept floating.
All TDK Innoveta products are certified to
regulatory standards by an independent,
Certified Administrative Agency laboratory.
UL 1950, 3rd edition (US & Canada), and
other global certifications are typically
obtained for each product platform.
4) Single fault testing is performed on
the end system to ensure that under a
single fault, hazardous voltages do
not appear at the module output.
Various safety agency approvals are pending
on the iHx product family. For safety agency
approval of the system in which the DC-DC
power module is installed, the power module
must be installed in compliance with the
creepage and clearance requirements of the
safety agency. The isolation is basic
insulation. For applications requiring basic
insulation, care must be taken to maintain
minimum creepage and clearance distances
when routing traces near the power module.
To preserve maximum flexibility, the power
modules are not internally fused. An external
input line normal blow fuse with the maximum
rating stipulated in the Electrical Data section
is required by safety agencies. A lower value
fuse can be selected based upon the
maximum dc input current and maximum
inrush energy of the power module
As part of the production process, the power
modules are hi-pot tested from primary and
secondary at a test voltage of 1500Vdc. The
case pin is considered a primary pin for the
purpose of hi-pot testing.
Reliability:
The power modules are designed using TDK
Innoveta’s stringent design guidelines for
component derating, product qualification, and
design reviews. Early failures are screened
out by both burn-in and an automated final
test. The MTBF is calculated to be greater
When the supply to the DC-DC converter is
less than 60Vdc, the power module meets all
of the requirements for SELV. If the input
voltage is a hazardous voltage that exceeds
