Product Highlights
The FARM (Filter/Autoranging Rectifier
Module) is an AC front-end module which
provides EMI filtering, autoranging line
rectification and inrush current limiting. The
FARM is available in either 500/750 W or
750/1000 W models in a mini sized package
measuring only 2.28" x 2.2" x 0.5".
The FARM interfaces directly with
worldwide AC mains and may be used with
Vicor 300 V input DC-DC converters to
realize an autoranging, high density, low
profile switching power supply. The FARM
includes a microcontroller that continuously
monitors the AC line to control bridge /
doubler operation. The user need only
provide external capacitance to satisfy
system hold-up requirements.
Vicor 2nd Generation packaging technology
offers flexible mounting options for various
manufacturing processes. The FARM may be
installed as a conventional leaded device
for onboard applications, inboard for low
profile, height restricted applications,
socketed or surface mounted with optional
ModuMate interconnect products.

APPLICATION NOTE
The Filtered, Autoranging Rectifier Module (FARM) provides an
effective solution for the AC frontend of a power supply built
with Vicor DC-DC converters. This high-performance power
system building block satisfies a broad spectrum of requirements
and agency standards.
In addition to providing transient/surge immunity and EMI
filtering, the FARM contains all of the power switching and
control circuitry necessary for autoranging rectification, inrush
current limiting, and overvoltage protection. This module also
provides converter enable and status functions for orderly
power up/down control or sequencing. To complete the AC
front-end configuration, the user only needs to add hold-up
capacitors, and a few discrete components.
Functional Description
Initial Condition
The switch that bypasses the inrush limiting PTC
(positive temperature coefficient) thermistor is open
when power is applied, as is the switch that engages the
strap for voltage doubling.
(see Fig. 7).
In addition, the
converter modules are disabled via the Enable (EN) line,
and Bus-OK (BOK) is high.
Power Up Sequence.
(see Fig. 8):
1.1
Upon application of input power, the output bus capacitors
begin to charge. The thermistor limits the charge current,
and the exponential time constant is determined by the
hold-up capacitor value and the thermistor cold
resistance. The slope (dv/dt) of the capacitor voltage
versus time approaches zero as the capacitors become
charged to the peak of the AC line voltage.
1.2
Bus-OK is de-asserted when the bus voltage falls below
205 Vdc (Typical).
2.2
The converters are disabled when the bus voltage
falls below 190 Vdc. If power is reapplied after the
converters are disabled, the entire power-up sequence
is repeated. If a momentary power interruption occurs
and power is re-established before the bus reaches the
disable threshold, the power up sequence is not repeated,
i.e., the power conversion system “rides through” the
momentary interruption.
2.1
If the bus voltage is greater than 200 V, the doubler is
not activated.
3.1
If the bus voltage is greater than 235 V as the slope
approaches zero, the inrush limiting thermistor is
bypassed. Below 235 V, it is not bypassed.
4.1
The converters are enabled ~150 milliseconds
after the thermistor bypass switch is closed.
5.1
Bus-OK is asserted after an additional ~150 millisecond
delay to allow the converter outputs to settle within
specification.
Power Down Sequence.
(see Fig. 8)
When input power is
turned off or fails, the following sequence occurs as the bus
voltage decays:
