Slow Over Current Protection (OCP)
Shutdown and latch after MIN/MAX timing
Slow over current warning (SMBAlert#)
Stby over current protection
(shutdown, hiccup mode)
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
Protection circuits inside the power supply cause only the power supply’s main outputs to shutdown. If the power supply latches
off due to a protection circuit tripping, an AC cycle OFF for 15 sec and a PSON# cycle HIGH for 1 sec are able to reset the power
supply.
4.1 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
The power supply over voltage protection will be locally sensed. The power supply will shutdown and latch off after an over
voltage condition occurs. This latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON# signal or by an AC power interruption. The values
are measured at the output of the power supply’s connectors. The voltage should never exceed the maximum levels when
measured at the power connectors of the power supply connector during any single point of fail. The voltage should never
trip any lower than the minimum levels when measured at the power connector. 12 VSB will be auto-recovered after removing
OVP limit.
4.2 OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION (OTP)
The power supply will be protected against over temperature conditions caused by loss of fan cooling or excessive ambient
temperature. In an OTP condition the PSU will shutdown. When the power supply temperature drops to within specified limits,
the power supply will restore power automatically, while the 12 VSB remains always on. The OTP circuit must have built in
margin such that the power supply will not oscillate on and off due to temperature recovering condition. The OTP trip level
shall have a minimum of 5°C of ambient temperature margin.
4.3 CURRENT LIMITATION (OCP)
The power supply has a current limit to prevent the outputs from exceeding the values shown in table above. If the current
limits are exceeded the power supply shuts down and latches off. The latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON# signal or
by an AC power interruption. The power supply will not be damaged from repeated power cycling in this condition. 12 VSB will
be auto-recovered after removing OCP limit.
4.4 SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION (SCP)
The power supply shuts down and latches off for shorting the main outputs. 12 VSB must be capable of being shorted
indefinitely. The latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON# signal or by an AC power interruption. The power supply should
not be damaged from repeated power cycling in this condition. 12 VSB will be auto-recovered after removing SCP limit.
4.5 OVER POWER PROTECTION (OPP)
The power supply supports over power protection (OPP) level low enough to protect the power supply running in this mode
for repeated 1 msec durations at a 1% duty cycle. The power supply should be stable operating at any load point from rated
power up to the OPP point.
CRPS-185 Load Requirement for OPP Threshold = (Imax + 49 A) +/-50 W
SMBAlert shall always assert ahead of the OPP threshold being exceeded
