Summary
The PSC series of positive switching regulators is designed
as power supply modules for electronic systems. Their ma-
jor advantages include a high level of efficiency that re-
mains virtually constant over the entire input voltage range,
high reliability, low ripple and excellent dynamic response.
Modules with input voltages up to 144 V are specially de-
signed for battery driven mobile applications. The case de-
sign allows operation at nominal load up to 71°C without
additional cooling.

Example:
PSC 126-7LiPC = A positive switching regulator with a 12 V, 6 A output, ambient temperature range of
–25 to 71°C, input filter, inhibit input, output adjust potentiometer and thyristor crowbar.
Functional Description
The switching regulators are designed using the buck con-
verter topology. See also:
Technical Information: Topolo-
gies.
The input is not electrically isolated from the output.
During the on period of the switching transistor, current is
transferred to the output and energy is stored in the output
choke. During the off period, this energy forces the current
to continue flowing through the output, to the load and
back through the freewheeling diode. Regulation is ac-
complished by varying the on to off duty ratio of the power
switch.

These regulators are ideal for a wide range of
applications, where input to output isolation is not
necessary, or where already provided by an external front
end (e.g. a transformer with rectifier). To optimise
customer’s needs, additional options and accessories are
available.

Thermal Considerations
When a switching regulator is located in free, quasi-station-
ary air (convection cooling) at a temperature
T
A
= 71°C and
is operated at its nominal output current
I
o nom
, the case
temperature
T
C
will be about 95°C after the warm-up
phase, measured at the
Measuring point of case tempera-
ture T
C
(see:
Mechanical Data).
Under practical operating conditions, the ambient tem-
perature
T
A
may exceed 71°C, provided additional meas-
ures (heat sink, fan, etc.) are taken to ensure that the case
temperature
T
C
does not exceed its maximum value of
95°C.
Example: Sufficient forced cooling allows
T
A max
= 85°C. A
simple check of the case temperature
T
C
(T
C
≤
95°C) at full
load

Short Circuit Behaviour
A constant current limitation circuit holds the output current
almost constant whenever an overload or a short circuit is
applied to the regulator's output. It acts self-protecting and
recovers – in contrary to the fold back method – automati-
cally after removal of the overload or short circuit condition.

Auxiliary Functions
i Inhibit
for Remote On and Off
Note:
With open i-input, output is enabled (V
o
= on)
The inhibit input allows the switching regulator output to be
disabled via a control signal. In systems with several units,
this feature can be used, for example, to control the activa-
tion sequence of the regulators by a logic signal (TTL, C-
MOS, etc.). An output voltage overshoot will not occur when
switching on or off.

Output Protection
A voltage suppressor diode which in worst case conditions
fails into a short circuit (or a thyristor crowbar, option C),
protects the output against an internally generated over-
voltage. Such an overvoltage could occur due to a failure of
either the control circuit or the switching transistor. The out-
put protection is not designed to withstand externally ap-
plied overvoltages. The user should ensure that systems
with Power-One power supplies, in the event of a failure, do
not result in an unsafe condition (fail-safe).
Parallel and Series Connection
Outputs of equal nominal voltages can be parallel-con-
nected. However, the use of a single unit with higher output
power, because of its power dissipation, is always a better
solution.
In parallel-connected operation, one or several outputs may
operate continuously at their current limit knee-point which
will cause an increase of the heat generation. Conse-
quently, the max. ambient temperature value should be re-
duced by 10 K.
Outputs can be series-connected with any other module. In
series-connection the maximum output current is limited by
the lowest current limitation. Electrically separated source
voltages are needed for each module!
