AC OK / Power Fail (J10-11)
This is an active high TTL compatible signal and provides a status indication of the AC
input power (see Figure 6 and Connector Pin Identification on Page 12). It is capable of
sinking 20 mA maximum. This signal switches to a TTL “1” when the high voltage bus
exceeds low-line condition during turn-on, and switches to a TTL “0” 3 ms (minimum)
before loss of output regulation due to the loss of input AC power. This signal can be
used to warn external control circuits of an impending loss of power.
Auxiliary Vcc +5V/0.3A (J10-9)
The Vcc on J10-9 is an auxiliary 5 V regulated power source (see Figure 7 and Connector
Pin Identification on Page 15). It is +5 Vdc +/–5% with respect to Signal Ground and can
supply 300 mA maximum. It is short-circuit-proof, but if shorted all outputs will shut
down through the Enable/Disable circuitry. The Auxiliary Vcc typically powers user
circuitry or is used with the Power Good circuitry to provide a pull-up reference for the
outputs of the DC Power Good circuit on a ConverterPAC. If used for this purpose, the
Signal Ground on J10-10 must also be connected to the J3-1 Signal Ground pin of the
ConverterPAC.
