Summary
The PSB 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 range, high
reliability, low ripple and excellent dynamic response. Mod-
ules with input voltages up to 80 V are specially designed
for secondary switched and battery driven applications. The
case design allows operation at nominal load up to 71°C
without additional cooling.

–25 to 71°C, input filter, inhibit input, 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 choke to the load
and back through the freewheeling diode. Regulation is
accomplished by varying the on/off duty ratio of the power
switch.

Option C
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
/I
ensures correct operation of the system.

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!
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.

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).
