MARATON Basic Configuration Input: 320 V DC, 11 A EMI Input Filter FIM 320 V DC Rectifier for no-rad operation with AC supply Auxiliary Power MAM DC-DC Converter MDM max. 2*6 Channels Basic Control Clock and Powerfail Output: Up to 12 independent channels 22-Sep-03 8
Basic Control Clock generation and power fail detection only Automatic switch on after input power is applied Switch off (by the regulation boards) in case of OVERVOLTAGE or OVERTEMPERATURE No other remote control or failure detection possible 22-Sep-03 9

Parallel Interface (ParIF) Description Each sense line is connected to the ParIF connector via a protection resistor A combined STATUS / SwitchOn - line is available for each channel. All signals of 6 channels are fed to an 37-pin Sub-D connector The outer diameter of a 40-pin shielded, twisted-pair, halogen-free round cable (AWG26) is 12 mm Design of the power supply Basic Control and ParIF interface: ready Development time for the remote electronics: 2 man months 22-Sep-03 11

Can Interface (CanIF) Description Redundant microcontroller system (to be protected against SEE) All voltages, currents and temperatures are measured Separate status comperator can switch off bad channels in case of overvoltage, undervoltage or overcurrent (This function can be disabled by hardware) All information is transfered by CAN bus (2 wires) to the protected zone. Development time: 2 man months + RAD tests 22-Sep-03 13
Increase of the Input Voltage Input: 385 V DC, 9 A CAN Connection EMI Input Filter FIM Rectifier for no-rad operation with AC supply Processor Control CANIF 385 V DC Auxiliary Power MAM 385V DC-DC Converter MDM 385V max. 2*6 Channels Basic Control and Observation MORT Output: Up to 12 independent channels 22-Sep-03 14
Increase of the input voltage If a Power Factor Correction (PFC) is used to get sinusoidal input current, the power modules have to work at 385 VDC nominal. Radiation hardness of the power switches of the modules (FET / IGBT) is very sensitive to the increase of the voltage. Some tests done by ESS showed that the currently used transistors will not work at higer voltages Other transistors with higher break-down voltage have to be tested The total efficency of the modules will decrease 22-Sep-03 15
Sinusoidal Input Current Input: 230 V~, 16 A CAN Connection EMI Input Filter FIM AC-DC Converter Sinusoidal Current Processor Control CANIF 385 V DC Auxiliary Power MAM 385 V DC-DC Converter MDM 385 V max. 2*6 Channels Basic Control and Observation MORT Output: Up to 12 independent channels 22-Sep-03 16
Sinusoidal Input Current No need for a special power wiring Better efficency of the power modules because their input voltage is regulated locally Radiation test of the PFC control circuit and the power switch have to be done. The big main choke has to be magnetically shielded. Development time: 2 man months + RAD tests + MAG tests. 22-Sep-03 17
