Option V: ACFAIL signal (VME)
Available only for models with
V
o= 5.1 V.
This option defines an undervoltage monitoring circuit for the
input and main output voltage. It generates an ACFAIL signal
(V signal) which conforms to the VME standard.
The low state level of the ACFAIL signal is specified at a sink
current of
I
V
≤
48 mA to
V
V
≤
0.6 V (open-collector output of an
NPN transistor). The pull-up resistor feeding the open-collector
output should be placed on the VME backplane.
After the ACFAIL signal has gone low, the VME standard
requires a hold-up time (
t
h)of at least 4 ms before the 5.1 V
output drops to 4.875 V when the output is fully loaded. The
hold-up time is provided by the internal input capacitance.
Consequently, the working input voltage and the threshold level
(
V
ti)should be adequately above the minimum input voltage
(
V
i min) of the converter so that enough energy is remaining in
the input capacitance. If the input voltage is below the required
level, an external hold-up capacitor (
C
i ext) should be added.

Remarks:
Option V2 and V3 can be adjusted by potentiometer to a threshold
level between
V
i minand
V
i max. A decoupling diode should be
connected in series with the input of AK - FK converters to avoid
the input capacitance discharging through other loads connected
to the same source voltage.
V+ Vh. The threshold level V
ti
is either adjustable by
potentiometer, accessible through a hole in the front cover,
or adjusted during manufacture to a determined customer
specified value.
Versions V0, V2, and V3 are available as shown below.
Option V operates independently of the built-in input
undervoltage lockout circuit. A logic "low" signal is generated at
pin 20 as soon as one of the monitored voltages drops below the
preselected threshold level V
t
.The return for this signal is Vo1–.
The V output recovers when the monitored voltage(s) exceed(s)
