Series Description

The GAIA Converter Hold up device HUGD-50 provides a state-of-the-art solution to the problem of maintaining electronic system in operation during input bus drop-out for enough time. Usually this approach uses very large capacitors because they are only charged at the voltage at which power fails. The GAIA Converter HUGD-50 module provides an alternative solution to reduce the amount of capacitance needed by charging the hold up capacitor at a high voltage (typically 38V) while limiting the input current.

The HUGD-50 must be connected between the line source and DC/DC modules. If an EMI filter and /or a pre-regulator are used, the HUGD-50 is connected between them and the converters. Basically the HUGD-50 charges the external capacitor to 38V while powering the DC/DC converters. If the power fails, the HUGD-50 generates a signal and the converters are powered from the external capacitor. The HUGD-50 can be used either with 16-40 V or 9-36 V input voltage DC/DC converters since the "power fail voltage" is externally adjustable by the user between 8.8 V and 15.3 V.
The HUGD-50 features 3 modes of operations:
- Charging operation mode : when the input voltage ramps-up and reaches the start-up charge threshold (which is set at 1 Vdc above the "power fail voltage"), the HUGD-50 begins to charge the external capacitor at 38 Vdc while powering the dc/dc converter. The charging current is controlled and externally adjustable between 100 mA and 2 A by a resistor. The capacitor charging time depends on the charging current. When the capacitor voltage reaches 35 V, the signal (active low, open-drain) "capacitor charged" is activated and the HUGD-50 enters in the normal operation mode.
- Normal operation mode : in normal operation mode when the capacitor is charged and the input bus is between the "output power fail" and 40 Vdc, the HUGD-50 only consumes power to keep the capacitor charged (i.e.less than 1 W). The voltage drop between input and output is lower than 150 mV in the worst case (50W power and 9 Vdc input voltage) The HUGD-50 will operate indefinitely in this state until the input voltage drops below the "power fail voltage" threshold.
- Power fail mode : when the input voltage drops below the "power fail voltage" threshold, a "power fail" signal is activated and the HUGD-50 disconnects input from output and connects the hold-up capacitor to the output. At this point the DC/DC converters are powered by the capacitor. When its voltage finally discharges to a value slightly above the "power fail voltage" threshold value, a "capacitor discharged" flag is activated.
