Summary
The PSS/PSK series of positive switching regulators is de-
signed as power supply modules for electronic systems.
Their major advantages include a high level of efficiency
that remains virtually constant over the entire input range,
high reliability, low ripple and excellent dynamic response.
Modules with input voltages up to 144 V are specially
designed for secondary switched and battery-driven
mobile applications. The standard case design with heat
sink allows operation at nominal load up to 71°C without
additional cooling, suitable for 19" rack or chassis
mounting.
Replacing the heat sink by an optional cooling plate B or B1,
allows chassis or wall mounting on top of a metal surface,
acting as heat sink.
Connector type: H15 (according to DIN 41612).

Positive Switching Regulator (Rugged)
Functional Description
The switching regulators are designed using the buck con-
verter topology. 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 chocke
to the load and back through the freewheeling diode.
Regulation is accomplished by varying on/off duty cycle.
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.

Input Filter and Fuse
An input filter and a fuse are incorporated in all modules as
standard. The filter reduces emitted electrical noise and
prevents oscillations caused by the negative input imped-
ance characteristic of a switched mode regulator. The input
fuse protects against severe defects.
The maximum permissible additionally superimposed rip-
ple
v
i
of the input voltage (rectifier mode) at a specified in-
put frequency
f
i
has the following values:
Inrush Current
Depending on the input source and the input impedance,
the inrush current into the regulator may peak several thou-
sand amperes during the switch-on sequence. It also deter-
mine the rating of input devices such as switches, relays,
fuses etc. To protect these input devices by limiting the peak
of the inrush current we recommend the use of the active
inrush current limitation circuit, option E.
