Operating information
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 36 to 75 Vdc meets the requirements
of the European Telecom Standard ETS 300 132-2 for normal
input voltage range in -48 and -60 Vdc systems,
-40.5 to -57.0 V and –50.0 to -72 V respectively.
At input voltages exceeding 75 V, the power loss will be higher
than at normal input voltage and TP1 must be limited to
absolute max +125°C. The absolute maximum continuous
input voltage is 80 Vdc.
Turn-off Input Voltage
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn on and
turn off at predetermined levels. The turn on and turn off level
and the hysteresis in between can be configured via the
PMBus. The default hysteresis between turn on and turn off
input voltage is set to 2 V.
Remote Control (RC)
The products are fitted with a
configurable remote control
function. The primary remote control
is referenced to the primary
negative input connection (-In). The
RC function allows the converter to
be turned on/off by an external
device like a semiconductor or
mechanical switch. The RC pin has
an internal pull up resistor. The
remote control functions can also be
configured using the PMBus.
The device should be capable of sinking 0.7 mA. When the
RC pin is left open, the voltage generated on the RC pin is
max 6 V. The standard product is provided with “negative
logic” remote control and will be off until the RC pin is
connected to the -In. To turn on the product the voltage
between RC pin and -In should be less than 1 V. To turn off
the product the RC pin should be left open. In situations where
it is desired to have the product to power up automatically
without the need for control signals or a switch, the RC pin can
be wired directly to -In. The logic option for the primary remote
control is configured using the PMBus.
Remote Control (secondary side)
The CTRL CS pin can be configured as remote control via the
PMBus interface. In the default configuration the CTRL CS pin
is disabled and the output has an internal pull-up to 3.3 V. The
CTRL CS pin can be left open when not used. The logic
options for the secondary remote control can be positive or
negative logic.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the input source and the load will
interact with the impedance of the product. It is important that
the input source has low characteristic impedance. Minimum
recommended external input capacitance is 100 uF. The
performance in some applications can be enhanced by
addition of external capacitance as described under External
Decoupling Capacitors.
External Decoupling Capacitors
When powering loads with significant dynamic current
requirements, the voltage regulation at the point of load can be
improved by addition of decoupling capacitors at the load. The
recommended minimum capacitance on the output is 100 uF.
The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic and
electrolytic capacitors as close to the load as possible, using
several parallel capacitors to lower the effective ESR. The
ceramic capacitors will handle high-frequency dynamic load
changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used to handle
low frequency dynamic load changes. Ceramic capacitors will
also reduce any high frequency noise across the load. It is
equally important to use low resistance and low inductance
PWB layouts and cabling.
External decoupling capacitors will become part of the
product’s control loop. The control loop is optimized for a wide
range of external capacitance and the maximum
recommended value that could be used without any additional
analysis is found in the Electrical specification.
The ESR of the capacitors is a very important parameter.
Stable operation is guaranteed with a verified ESR value of
>10 mΩ across the output connections.

Power Modules representative.
PMBus configuration and support
The products provide a PMBus digital interface that enables
the user to configure many aspects of the device operation as
well as monitor the input and output parameters. Please
contact your local Ericsson Power Modules representative for
appropriate SW tools to down-load new configurations.
Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus
The output voltage of the product can be reconfigured using
the PMBus interface. BMR 453 xx00/001 and /002 can be
adjusted from 8.1 V to 13.2 V. The BMR 453 xx02/003 and
/004 can be adjusted from 3.0 V to 6.7 V.
Margin Up/Down Controls
These controls allow the output voltage to be momentarily
adjusted, either up or down, by a nominal 10%. This provides
a convenient method for dynamically testing the operation of
the load circuit over its supply margin or range. It can also be
used to verify the function of supply voltage supervisors.
The margin up and down levels of the product can be re-
configured using the PMBus interface.
Soft-start Power Up
The soft-start control introduces a time-delay (default setting
40 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise. The default
rise time of the ramp up is 10 ms. Power-up is hence
completed within 50 ms in default configuration using remote
control. When starting by applying input voltage the control
circuit boot-up time adds an additional 100 ms delay. The soft-
