Technical Reference Notes
AEH/ALH80 Series
The AEH/ALH80 series is part of Astec's next generation single output, high-density industry standard half bricks. It operates
from a 36V to 75V DC Bus and comes in three different Isolated Logic Output voltages (ILO) well suited for DPA
applications. It’s designed to handle 80A maximum output current for 1.8V, 1.5V and 1.2V at high levels of efficiency. It
provides tight regulation and exhibits clean and monotonic output start up characteristics. The AEH/ALH80 comes with
industry standard features such as Input UVLO, OCP, OVP, OTP, output Trim, differential output Sense pins. It comes either
with baseplate or open frame construction, with double pair or single pair (option) output pins.

3. See Figure 2 for Ripple and Noise test measurement setup. Output ripple may exceed max limits at high
line condition.
4. Appropriate Thermal Derating applies. See Figures 17 to 22 for the Thermal Derating Curves
5. In an event of an over current condition - the converter will be latched off. Restart is possible either by
cycling the input voltage or toggling the Enable signal for 100ms. Consult factory for Auto restart
option.
6. The OVP mode is latching. The converter will be latched off once the sensed voltage across the output
pins exceeds the threshold limits. Restart is possible by either cycling the input voltage or toggling the
Enable signal for 100ms.
7. Output of the module will be terminated once the operating temp reaches the OTP range. Normal
operation resumes once the temperature falls below the OTP range.
8. The sense pins can be used to compensate for any voltage drops (per indicated max limits) that may occur
along the connection between the output pins to the load. Pin 9 (+Sense) and Pin 7 (-Sense) should be
connected to Pin 10/11 (+Vout) and Pin 5/6 (Return) respectively at the point where regulation is desired.
9. Refer to Equation (1) and (2) and Figures 3 and 4 for the Output Trim Adjust configuration.
10. The combination of remote sense and Trim adjust cannot exceed 110% of V
O, NOM
.
