EPS1U Power Supply Design Guide, V1.1
1 Purpose
This specification defines a non-redundant power supply that supports 1U rack mount entry server systems. The
entry-level power supply is not intended to be a hot swap type of power supply. The parameters of this supply are
defined in this specification for open industry use. This specification defines a 125W, 250 W and 350 W power
supply with six outputs; 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, -12 V, and 5 VSB. The form factor fits into a 1U system and provides a
wire harness or docking solution for output connections. An IEC connector is provided on the external face for AC
input to the power supply. The power supply contains fans for cooling, while meeting acoustic requirements.
2 Conceptual Overview
In the Entry server market, the bulk power system must source power on several output rails.
These rails are typically as follows:
·
·
·
·
·
+3.3 V
+5 V
+12 V
–12 V
5V standby
NOTE
Local DC-DC converters shall be utilized for processor power, and will ideally convert power from the +12 V
rail, however, they may also convert power from other rails.
The bulk power system may be an n+1 redundant power system or a non-redundant power system.

4 Mechanical Overview
There are two physical sizes of the power supply enclosure intended to accommodate power levels of 125W,
250W and 350W. There are two output connector designs. A card edge solution to provide ease of installation
and removal and a wire harness to provide a traditional cabled solution. The chassis for the entry 1U power
supply is designed for use in 1U rack mounted systems.
4.1 High Power Card Edge Form Factor
STATUS
Large Power Form
Factor
The high power edge card form factor is intended for use at 250W and 350W power levels. Refer to Figure 1 for
details. The supply will provide its output power via a card edge on the interior face of the power supply to
provide users and manufacturers easy installation and removal of the power supply into the system.

6.2 Grounding
STATUS
Required
The ground of the pins of the power supply wire harness provides the power return path. The wire harness
ground pins shall be connected to safety ground (power supply enclosure).
6.3 Remote Sense
STATUS
Optional
The power supply may have remote sense return (ReturnS) to regulate out ground drops for all output voltages;
+3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V1, +12 V2, -12 V, and 5 VSB. The power supply may use remote sense (3.3VS) to regulate
out drops in the system for the +3.3 V output. The +5 V, +12 V1, +12 V2, –12 V, and 5 VSB outputs only use
remote sense referenced to the ReturnS signal. The remote sense input impedance to the power supply must be
greater than 200 W on 3.3 VS and ReturnS. This is the value of the resistor connecting the remote sense to the
output voltage internal to the power supply. Remote sense must be able to regulate out a minimum of 200 mV
drop on the +3.3 V output. The remote sense return (ReturnS) must be able to regulate out a minimum of 200 mV
drop in the power ground return. The current in any remote sense line shall be less than 5 mA to prevent voltage
sensing errors. The power supply must operate within specification over the full range of voltage drops from the
power supply’s output connector to the remote sense points.
6.4 Output Power/Currents
The following tables define three power and current ratings for a 125W, 250 W and a 350 W power supply. These
were selected to cover different types of systems and configurations. The 125W power level is targeted for use in
“today’s” low power server systems. The 250W power level is targeted for use in “today’s” higher power 1U
server systems. The 350W power level is directed at “tomorrow’s” higher power 1U server systems. The
combined output power of all outputs shall not exceed the rated output power. The tables show the load ranges
for each of the two power supply power levels. The power supply must meet both static and dynamic voltage
regulation requirements for the minimum loading conditions.

6.9 Timing Requirements
STATUS
Required
These are the timing requirements for the power supply operation. The output voltages must rise from 10% to
within regulation limits (Tvout_rise) within 5 to 70 ms. The +3.3 V, +5 V and +12 V output voltages should start to
rise at about the same time. All outputs must rise monotonically. The +5 V output needs to be greater than the
+3.3 V output during any point of the voltage rise. The +5 V output must never be greater than the +3.3V output
by more than 2.25 V. Each output voltage shall reach regulation within 50 ms (Tvout_on) of each other during turn
on of the power supply. Each output voltage shall fall out of regulation within 400 ms (Tvout_off) of each other
during turn off. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the turn ON and turn OFF timing requirements. In Figure 5 the timing
is shown with both AC and PSON# controlling the ON/OFF of the power supply.

7 Protection Circuits
STATUS
Required
Protection circuits inside the power supply shall cause only the power supply’s main outputs to shutdown. If the
power supply latches off due to a protection circuit tripping, an AC cycle OFF for 15 seconds and a PSON# cycle
HIGH for 1 second shall be able to reset the power supply.
7.1 Current Limit
STATUS
Required
The power supply shall have current limit to prevent the +3.3 V, +5 V, and +12 V outputs from exceeding the
values shown in Table 17. If the current limits are exceeded, the power supply shall shutdown and latch off. The
latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON# signal or by an AC power interruption. The power supply shall not be
damaged from repeated power cycling in this condition. –12 V and 5 VSB shall be protected under over current
or shorted conditions so that no damage can occur to the power supply. All outputs shall be protected so that no
damage occurs to the power supply under a shorted output condition.

7.2 240VA Protection
STATUS
Recommended
System designs may require user access to energized areas of the system. In these cases the power supply may
be required to meet regulatory 240VA limits for any power rail. Since the +12V rail combined power exceeds
240VA it must be divided into separate channels to meet this requirement. Each separate rail needs to be limited
to less than 20A for each +12V rail. The separate +12V rails do not necessarily need to be independently
regulated outputs. They can share a common power conversion stage. The +12V rail is divided into two rails for
the 250W and 350W power levels. +12V1 is dedicated for providing power to the input of the processor voltage
regulator(s). The +12V2 rail is used to power the rest of the main board +12V power needs and peripherals
devices.

7.3 Over Voltage Protection
STATUS
Required
The power supply over voltage protection shall be locally sensed. The power supply shall shutdown and latch off
after an over voltage condition occurs. This latch shall be cleared by toggling the PSON# signal or by an AC
power interruption. Table 19 contains the over voltage limits. The values are measured at the output of the
power supply’s connectors. The voltage shall never exceed the maximum levels when measured at the power
pins of the power supply connector during any single point of fail. The voltage shall never trip any lower than the
minimum levels when measured at the power pins of the power supply connector.

STATUS
Recommended
The power supply will be protected against over temperature conditions caused by loss of fan cooling or
excessive ambient temperature. In an OTP condition the PSU will shutdown. When the power supply
temperature drops to within specified limits, the power supply shall restore power automatically. The OTP circuit
must have built in hysteresis such that the power supply will not oscillate on and off due to temperature recovering
condition. The OTP trip level shall have a minimum of 4 °C of ambient temperature hysteresis.

8 Control and Indicator Functions
The following sections define the input and output signals from the power supply.
Signals that can be defined as low true use the following convention:
signal# = low true
8.1 PSON#
STATUS
Required
The PSON# signal is required to remotely turn on/off the power supply. PSON# is an active low signal that turns
on the +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, and –12 V power rails. When this signal is not pulled low by the system, or left open,
the outputs (except the +5 VSB and Vbias) turn off. This signal is pulled to a standby voltage by a pull-up resistor
internal to the power supply. Refer to Figure 5 for the timing diagram.

STATUS
Required
PWOK is a power OK signal and will be pulled HIGH by the power supply to indicate that all the outputs are within
the regulation limits of the power supply. When any output voltage falls below regulation limits or when AC power
has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will
be de-asserted to a LOW state. See Figure 5 for a representation of the timing characteristics of PWOK. The
start of the PWOK delay time shall be inhibited as long as any power supply output is in current limit.

8.3 ACWarning
STATUS
Optional
This is an output signal from the power supply which provides a warning to the system that the power supply has
lost its AC input. This signal also provides a signal to synchronize the turn on of multiple power supplies. At turn
on, this signal is pulled LOW when the supply’s internal bulk voltage has reached a level that allows it to turn on.
At turn off ACWarning goes HIGH when the internal bulk voltage drops low enough. The characteristics of the
ACWarning signal is shown in Table 22: ACWarning Signal Characteristics. Refer to Figure 5 for timing diagram.
