1. Scope
This document provides a reference for the definition and specification of the WTX Power Supply that
is compliant with the WTX Workstation System Specification and the WTX Chassis Design Guide. It
is provided as a convenience only and is not intended to replace or supplement the user’s independent
design and validation activity.
This document includes the following information:

• Physical form factors


• Cooling requirements
• Connector configuration
• Electrical requirements
• Pertinent signal timing specification

It also provides power supply examples, although actual power requirements shall vary depending
upon specific system configurations.

The WTX specification is a new board set and system form factor developed for the mid-range
workstation market segment to support current and future Intel -based 32 and 64-bit processor
technologies. The power requirements for these systems are predicted to vary between approximately
350 W and 850 W depending upon system peripheral and I/O configuration, number of processors,
chip-sets, and memory configurations.

In order to support these systems and the broad range of power requirements, two (2) new form
factors have been defined (although an existing PS/2 can be utilized for lower system configurations).

In addition to these new form factors, new connector configurations have been defined that
specifically address the higher load demands of elements such as AGP-Pro.

1.1 Power Distribution Structure


The WTX Power Supply distribution structure is illustrated in Figure 1. This structure is based upon
the board and system configurations found in mid-range workstations whereby the basic system
configuration (number of peripheral bays, PCI, and graphics) are constant across processor and chip-
set platforms. The range of power requirements for the latter components is the basis for the WTX
power supply structure through the addition of one or more +12 VDC outputs to support increased
power needs (high end processors and larger memory cards). This approach provides the ability to
comply with output power limitation requirements (240 VA) when necessitated by system
requirements.

3.3.2.1 Energy Star requirements (until June 30th, 2000)


WTX power supplies used in “Energy Star” compliant systems must be a minimum of 55% efficient
and draw input power equal to or less than 15% of the rated output power when subject to the
conditions defined in Table 7.

For example, when the 115 VAC input power of a 460 W WTX power supply is 69 W (as measured
by a true RMS watt-meter placed on the input AC line cord), the total DC output power shall not
exceed 37.9 W.

WTX power supplies used in “Energy Star” compliant systems shall be a minimum of 50% efficient
and draw input power equal to or less than 10% of the rated output power when subject to the
conditions defined in Table 8.

Table 8. Y2k Energy Star Load Conditions

3.3.3 Output Ripple/Noise


The following output ripple/noise requirements must be met throughout the load ranges specified in
Section 3.3, and under all input voltage conditions as specified in Section 3.1.
Ripple and noise are defined as periodic or random signals over a frequency band of 10 Hz to 20
MHz. Measurements shall be made with an oscilloscope with 20 MHz bandwidth. Outputs shall be
bypassed at the connector with a 0.1 µF ceramic disk capacitor and a 10 µF electrolytic capacitor to
simulate system loading.

+12 VCPU2DC 120 mVpp
+5 VSB* 50 mVpp
+3.3 VAUX 50 mVpp

3.3.4 Output Transient Response


The output voltage must remain within the regulation limits of Table 3. (inclusive of
over/undershoot). For instantaneous load changes, limited to the maximum individual steps per Table
10, output capacitive loading per Table 11, over the AC input range is defined in section 3.1 and may
include simultaneous load steps on the +12IO VDC, +5 VDC, and +3.3 VDC outputs. All load
changes must occur in the same direction. The transient response measurements must be made with a
load changing repetition rate of 50 Hz to 10 kHz. The load slew rate must not be greater than 2.5
A/µs. The power supply must be stable under all transient conditions from any steady state load.
The conditions in Table 10 and Table 11 reflect typical WTX system configurations. System
developers must evaluate individual requirements to ensure performance expectations are met.

WTX Power Supply Design Guidelines, Version 1.0

3.3.5 Closed Loop Stability


The power supply must be unconditionally stable under all line/load/transient load conditions
including capacitive loads as specified in Table 11. A minimum of 45°phase and 10 dB-gain margin
are required. The power supply vendor must provide proof of the unit’s closed-loop stability with
local sensing through the submission of Bode plots. Closed-loop stability must be ensured at the
maximum and minimum loads as applicable.

3.3.6 Capacitive Load


The power supply must be able to power up and operate normally with the following capacitance
simultaneously present on the DC outputs:

load (µF):

3.3.7 Output Power Sequencing


The +5 V, 12 VDIG and 12 VCPU# (when applicable) output levels must be equal to or greater than the
3.3 V output at all times during power up and normal operation. The time between the +5 V, 12 VDIG
and 12 VCPU# outputs reaching their minimum in regulation level and the +3.3 V reaching its minimum
regulation level must be less than or equal to 20ms.
In addition, the +5 V output level must be equal to or greater than the 3.3 V output at all times during
power down. This may be implemented using a clamping diode between +5 V and +3.3 V outputs.

3.3.8 Voltage Hold-up Time


The power supply must maintain output regulations per Section 3.2.1 despite a loss of input power at
the low-end nominal range (Low = 115 or 230 VACRMS, 47 Hz) at maximum continuous output load
as applicable for a minimum of one input AC cycle.

3.4.1 Power Good Signal, PS-OK


A “Power Good” signal, PS-OK, is asserted (i.e., high) by the power supply to indicate that the +3.3
VDC, +5 VDC, +12 VDIG and 12 VCPU# outputs exceed the under-voltage thresholds listed in Section
3.2.1. It also indicates that sufficient primary energy is stored by the converter to guarantee
continuous power operation within specification for at least the duration specified in “Hold Up Time”
Section 3.3.8. Conversely, when one of these output voltages falls below the under-voltage threshold,
or when the primary power has been removed too long to guarantee power supply operations beyond
that time, the POK is held low. The electrical and timing characteristics of the POK signal are given
in Figure 2 and in Figure 3. The voltage sequence and timing relationships are illustrated in Figure 2.
The PS-OK pin shall be pulled up to +5 V via a 5.1 kΩ resistor within the power supply.
Table 12. PS-OK Signal Characteristics
Signal Type: +5 VDC, TTL compatible
Logic level low: < 0.4 V while sinking 4 mA
Logic level high: Between 2.4 VDC and 5 VDC output while sourcing
200 µA
High state output 1 KΩ from output to common
impedance:
POK delay: 100 ms < T3 < 500 ms
POK rise time T5 ≤ 10ms
Power down warning: T4 > 1 ms

3.4.2 Sleep State (SLEEP#)


The power supply DC outputs (with the exception of the +3.3 VAUX, +5 VSB and +12 VDIG) must be
disabled with an active low, TTL compatible signal (“SLEEP#”). The default signal (high 3.3V or
unconnected) must keep the outputs enabled. The SLEEP# pin must be pulled up to +3.3 VAUX via a
10kΩ resistor within the power supply.
In addition, this signal shall cause one (of the two) fans in a dual fan power supply to be turned off
(only applicable to the two (2) fan form factor). Selection of the active fan shall be at the discretion
of the power supply vendor.
During this state the +12 VDIG load current must be per Table 7. (or Table 8, effective July 1st, 2000)
max.

1 1 PSU Off - System off
3.3 VAUX and 5 VSB only present
1 0 Invalid state

Page 20 of 40
WTX Power Supply Design Guidelines, Version 1.0

3.4.3 Remote On/Off Control (PS-ON#)


The power supply DC outputs (with the exception of +3.3VAUX and +5VSB) must be enabled with an
active-low, TTL-compatible signal (“PS-ON#”). The PS-ON# pin must be pulled up to +3.3VAUX via
a 10 kΩ resistor within the power supply.
• The +3.3VAUX and 5VSB must be on whenever the AC power is present.
• When PS-ON# is pulled to TTL low, the DC outputs are to be enabled.
• When PS-ON# is pulled to TTL high (3.3VAUX), or open circuited, the DC outputs are to be
disabled.
• The DC output enable circuit shall be SELV compliant.
In application, the PS-ON# signal may be activated either by electronic means or by a mechanical
switch. Provision for de-bouncing the mechanical switch must be included in the PS-ON# circuitry to
prevent the power supply from oscillating on and off at startup.

Table 14. Remote On/Off and Sleep Signal Characteristics

Iil, Input Low Current, Vin = 0.4V -0.4mA
Vih, Input High Voltage, Iin = -200uA 2.0V
Vih open circuit, Iin = 0 3.47V

3.4.4 Power On Time


The power on time is defined as the time the PS-ON# is pulled low to when the +3.3V, +5V, 12VDIG
and 12VCPU# outputs are within the regulation ranges specified in section 3.2.1. The power on time
must be less than 500 mS.
The 3.3VAUX and 5VSB must have a power on time of 2 seconds maximum after application of valid
AC voltages.

3.4.5 Rise-time
The output voltages must rise from <=10% of nominal to within the regulation ranges specified in
Section 3.2.1 within 0.1 to 70 ms. (0.1 ms ≤ T2 ≤ 70 ms).

Page 21 of 40
WTX Power Supply Design Guidelines, Version 1.0

3.4.6 Overshoot At Turn-On/Turn-Off


The output voltage overshoot, upon the application or removal of the input voltage under the
conditions specified in section 3.1, must be less than 10% above the nominal voltage. There must be
a smooth and continuous ramp of each DC output voltage from 10% to 90% of its final set point
within the regulation band, while loaded as specified in Section 3.2. A smooth turn-on requires that
during the 10% to 90% portion of the rise time the slope of the turn-on waveform must be positive
and have a value of between 0 V/msec. and (Vout Nominal)/2 msec. Additionally, for any 5 ms
segment of the 10% to 90% rise-time waveform, a straight line drawn between the end points of the
waveform segment must have a slope ≥ (Vout Nominal)/20 ms. No voltage of opposite polarity must
be present on any output during turn-on, or turn-off.

3.4.7 Reset After Shutdown


If the power supply latches into a shutdown state due to a faulty condition on its outputs, the power
supply must return to normal operation only after the fault has been removed and the PS-ON, or AC
input, has been cycled OFF and ON with a minimum OFF time of 1 second.

3.4.8 Standby/Auxiliary Voltages


The +5VSB and +3.3VAUX are “standby” supply output voltages that are active whenever AC power is
present. It provides a power source for circuits that must remain operational when the five main DC
output rails are in a disabled state. Example uses include soft power control, wake-on-LAN, wake-
on-modem, intrusion detection or suspend (sleep) state activities. +3.3VAUX is required for compliance
to ACPI.
The +3.3VAUX output must be capable of delivering a minimum of 3 A at 3.3 Vdc ±5% for external
circuits that includes 3.3VAUX support for up to six- (6) PCI slots.
The +5VSB output must be capable of delivering a minimum of 720 mA at 5 Vdc ±5% for external
circuits.
Overcurrent protection is required on both +3.3VAUX and +5VSB outputs to ensure that the power
supply is not damaged if external circuits draw excessive currents.

3.4.9 Standby Voltage Turn-Off


Following the removal of AC power, the 3.3VAUX and 5VSB (standby voltages) output must remain at
its steady state value until such time as it begins to decrease in voltage. The decrease must be
monotonic in nature dropping to 0.0 volts. There must be no other perturbations of this voltage at or
following removal of AC power.

Page 22 of 40
WTX Power Supply Design Guidelines, Version 1.0

3.4.10 Fan Control Override


The power supply fan control is a request signal and must not be used as a direct control for the fan.
The power supply must receive an active low TTL signal to the FanC pin (pin 20) of P2. This pin is
then pulled to the 3.3VAUX internal to the power supply via a 10 kΩ resistor. This signal over-rides the
power supply internal thermal control circuit thereby causing the power supply fan(s) to operate at
maximum speed. When running, the voltage across the fan must not be lower than 6 V under any
condition.
It is expected that during the "sleep state" (para 3.4.2), one power supply fan must assume a minimum
speed operation (6 V across the fan). In a two (2) fan power supply, the second fan must turn off
(<1V across the fan); the inactive fan shall be determined by the power supply manufacturer. During
a Remote Off state (para 3.4.3), the power supply fans should be off. The power supply must comply
with the fan requirements of para 4.2.

3.4.11 Fan Monitor


The power supply must provide an open collector, at 2 pulse per revolutions tachometer signal from
the power supply fan to the system via the Fan M pin (pin 2 of P2). In a dual fan power supply, this
signal may come from either one of the fans. In all instances, the signal stops cycling, in either a high
or low level, during a lock rotor state on any power supply fan.

This signal allows the system to monitor the power supply for fan speed or failures. Implementation
of this signal permits the system to gracefully power down in the case of a critical fan failure.

The motherboard uses between a 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ pull-up resistors for this signal and connects to a
high impedance gate as illustrated in Figure 4.

If this signal is not implemented within the system, it should not impact power supply operation.

3.5 Output Protection

3.5.1 Overvoltage Protection


The overvoltage sense circuitry and reference resides in packages that are separate and distinct from
the regulator control circuitry and reference. No single point fault shall be able to cause a sustained
overvoltage condition on any or all outputs. The supply must then provide latch-mode Overvoltage
Protection as defined below.

+12 VCPU2DC 13.4 15.0 15.6 V
+3.3 VAUX 3.76 4.2 4.3 V

3.5.2 Short Circuit Protection


An output short circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than 0.005 ohms. The power
supply must shutdown and latch off for shorting +3.3V, +5V, +12IOV, +12VDIG or either of the
+12VCPU rails to return or any other rail (other than rails of equal voltage). Shorts between main
output rails and standby outputs (3.3VAUX and 5VSB) must not cause damage to the power supply.
The power supply must either shutdown and/or latch off for shorting on the –12V rails. The 3.3VAUX
and 5VSB must be capable of being shorted indefinitely but when the short is removed, the P/S shall
recover automatically by cycling the PS-ON#. The power supply must then be capable of
withstanding a continuous short-circuit to the output without damage or over-stress of the unit
(components, PCB traces, and connectors) under the input conditions specified in Section 3.1 above.
The maximum short-circuit energy in any output must not exceed 240 VA.

3.5.3 No Load Operation


No damage or hazardous conditions must occur with all the DC output connectors disconnected from
the load. The power supply may latch into the shutdown state.

3.5.4 Overcurrent Protection


Overload currents applied to each tested output rail cause the output to trip before they reach or
exceed 240 VA. For testing purposes, the overload currents are ramped at a minimum rate of 10 A/s
starting from full load.

Page 24 of 40
WTX Power Supply Design Guidelines, Version 1.0

4. Mechanical Requirements

4.1 Physical Dimensions/Markings


The power supply is enclosed and must meet the physical outline of one of two form factors shown in
Figure 5 and Figure 6 respectively. The form factor shall be selected based upon the power output
requirement for the system. It is anticipated, but not expected, than that the single form fan form
factor (Figure 5) satisfies the requirements for units with continuous output power not exceeding 500
W. The dual fan form factors (Figure 6) satisfy all power levels.

In order to provide for both tower and rack mount chassis configurations, two- (2) output cable exit
configurations are specified for each form factor, refer to Figure 7 thru Figure 9.

Note: Open exit areas must be minimized for the Single fan side exit option (Figure 7) and for the Dual fan underside exit option (Figure 8) to
minimize stray air intake. Stray air intake impedes system and/or power supply cooling performance. It is recommended that grommets be
utilized for this function.

In addition, each supply shall be marked as shown in the following section.

4.1.1 Warning Label

• A warning label stating the following “Do not remove this cover. Trained service personnel
only. No user serviceable components inside.” Must be in English, German, Spanish, French,
Chinese, and Japanese along with universal warning markings.
• Manufacturer’s Label
• Manufacturer's name, part number, and lot date code in user-readable text format.
• Nominal AC input operating voltages (100-127 VAC and 200-240 VAC) and current rating
certified by all agencies specified in Section 8.
• DC output voltages and current ratings.

4.2 Fan Requirements


The power supply fans draw air from the workstation system enclosure and exhaust through a grill
located on the rear panel. It is recommended that a high-speed 80 mm ball bearing fan with thermal
fan speed control be used. The thermal fan speed control circuitry must sense the temperature of the
internal power supply heat sink, or incoming ambient air. For the dual fan power supply, this
circuitry can be either common to, or separate from, each fan.
The fan speed control and monitoring requirements are defined in sections 3.4.10 and 3.4.11,
respectively.
The intake and exhaust grills of the power supply must remain suitably free of obstructions to not
hinder airflow (i.e., no objects within 0.5” of the intake or exhaust areas). The opening must be
sufficiently protected to meet the safety requirements described in Section 8. The grill pattern must
have a minimum of 55% free area. A flush mount wire fan grill is used to maximize airflow and
minimize acoustic noise.

4.3 AC Connector Requirements


The AC input receptacle shall be an IEC 320 type or equivalent. The IEC 320 receptacle is
considered the mains disconnect.

4.4 DC Connector Requirements
