Features
The PKB 4000 Series of high efficiency DC/DC
converters are designed to provide high quality
on-board power solutions in distributed power
architectures used in "Inter-networking" equip-
ment in Wireless and Wired Communications and
Datacom applications. The PKB 4000 Series has
the same pinout as an industry standard quarter
brick but only occupies approximately half the
footprint. This makes it extremely well suited for
limited board space applications. The PKB Series
uses patented synchronous rectification technology
and achieves an efficiency up to 88.5% at full
load. The series is presently available in non-
baseplated versions and will be offered in
baseplated and surface mount versions in the near
future. Ericsson's PKB 4000 Series addresses the
emerging telecom market for applications in the
multi-service network by specifying the input
voltage range in accordance with ETSI
specifications.
Included as standard features are over-voltage
protection, under-voltage protection, over
temperature protection, soft-start, short circuit
protection, remote sense, remote on/off, and
industry standard output trim adjustment. The
PKB 4000 Series also offers the flexibility of using
a baseplate as well as an optional heatsink when
needed, enabling reduced airflow, extended
reliability, and higher ambient temperature
operation.
These converters are manufactured in highly
automated manufacturing lines and meet world-
class quality levels. Ericsson Power Modules has
been an ISO 9001 certified Supplier since 1991.

The PKB 4000 PI Series DC/DC converters
are designed in accordance with Safety
Standards IEC/EN/UL 60 950,
Safety of
Information Technology Equipment.
The PKB 4000 Series DC/DC converters are
UL
C
60 950 recognized and certified in
accordance with EN 60 950.
The DC/DC converters should be installed in
end-use equipment, in accordance with the
requirements of the ultimate application.
The input source must be isolated by
minimum Basic Insulation from the primary
circuit in accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60
950. If the input voltage to the DC/DC
converter is 75Vdc or less, then the output
remains SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
under normal and abnormal operating
conditions. Single fault testing in the input
power source circuit should be performed
with the DC/DC converter connected to
demonstrate that the input voltage does not
exceed 75Vdc. If the input power source
circuit is a DC power system, the source
maybe treated as a TNV2 circuit and testing
has demonstrated compliance with SELV
limits and isolation requirements equivalent
to Basic Insulation in accordance with IEC/
EN/UL 60 950.
It is recommended that a fast blow fuse with a
rating of 5A be used at the input of each DC/
DC converter. The PKB series DC/DC
converters are approved for a maximum fuse
rating of 15A. If a fault occurs in the DC/DC
converter that imposes a short circuit on the
input power source, this fuse will provide the
following functions:
•

Method 1
• Protect the distribution wiring from
excessive current and power loss thus
preventing hazardous overheating.
The galvanic isolation is verified in an electric
strength test. The test voltage (V
ISO
) between
input and output is 2250 Vdc for 60 seconds.
Leakage current is less than 1uA at nominal
input voltage.
The flammability rating for all construction
parts of the DC/DC converter meets UL 94V-0.

Note:
• If the remote sense is not needed the
"-Sense" should be connected to "-Out"
and the "+Sense" should be connected
to "+Out."
• If the remote control is not needed
the RC pin must be connected to -V

for negative logic.
For positive logic the pin should be
left open or floating.
