9. Modular AC Front-end System (ENMod)
The ENMod component power front-end system for
EN compliance provides an effective solution for an AC
front end of a power supply enabled with Vicor DC-DC
converters. The ENMod system’s basic building blocks are
the MiniHAM passive harmonic attenuation module, the
FARM3 autoranging AC-DC front-end module (Figure 9–3)
and a discrete EMI filter.
The ENMod system provides transient / surge immunity,
harmonic current attenuation (Figure 9–2) and EMI
filtering, in addition to all of the power switching and
control circuitry necessary for autoranging rectification,
inrush current limiting, and overvoltage protection.
Converter enable and status functions for orderly
power up / down control or sequencing are also
provided. To complete the AC front-end configuration,
the user only needs to add hold-up capacitors, EMI filter
(Figure 9–1b), and a few discrete components.
