Thin Form Factor with 12-V Connector  
Version 2.0  
1 Introduction  
1.1 TFX12V Scope  
This document provides design suggestions for a small form factor power supply that is primarily intended for  
use with small form factor system designs (9-15 liters in total system volume). It should not be inferred that all  
Thin Form Factor with 12 Volt connector (TFX12V) power supplies must conform exactly to the content of this  
document, though there are key parameters that define mechanical fit across a common set of platforms.  
Since power supply needs vary depending on system configuration, the design specifics described are not  
intended to support all possible systems.  
Figure 1. TFX12V Power Supply  
1.2 TFX12V Overview  
This section provides a brief overview of the unique features of the Thin Form Factor with 12 Volt connector  
(TFX12V) power supply design and a summary of the changes included in revision 1.2.  
1.2.1 Small System Optimized Profile  
The increase in demand for smaller systems results in unique system layout challenges. The Thin Form  
Factor with 12 Volt connector (TFX12V) configuration has been optimized for small and low profile microATX  
and FlexATX system layouts. The long narrow profile of the power supply (shown in Figure 1) fits easily into  
low profile systems. The fan placement can be used to efficiently exhaust air from the processor and core  
area of the motherboard, making possible smaller, more efficient systems using common industry ingredients.

Version 2.0  
1.2.2 Improved Acoustics  
As desktop systems become smaller, they are placed in more exposed areas in the home and work place.  
The smaller systems are no longer confined to the floor or under the desk, but are placed on the desktop next  
to the user. In these situations, noise becomes an important factor to the end user. Thin Form Factor with 12  
Volt connector (TFX12V) supplies should use fan speed control techniques to provide a low acoustic profile,  
while providing ample cooling to internal components when required.  
1.3 Key Changes for TFX12V Version 2.0  
This section briefly summarizes the major changes made to this document that now defines ATX12V power  
supply. With the move to 12V voltage regulators for the processor, ATX guidelines for 5V as main power are  
no longer provided.  
1.3.1 Increased +12 VDC Output Capability  
System components that use 12V are continuing to increase in power. In cases where expected current  
requirements is greater than 18A a second 12 V rail should be made available. ATX12V power supplies  
should be designed to accommodate these increased +12 VDC currents.  
1.3.2 Minimum Efficiency  
Minimum measured efficiency is required to be 70% at full, typical (50%) load and 60% at light (20%) load.  
New recommended guidance has been added to provide direction for expected future requirements.  
1.3.3 Main Power Connector  
The 2 x 12 main power connector replaces the 2 x 10 connector. This change was made to support 75 watt  
PCI Express* requirements.  
1.3.4 Separate Current Limit for 12V2 on the 2x2 Connector  
The 12V rail on the 2 x 2 power connector should be a separate current limited output to meet the  
requirements of UL and EN 60950.

The following electrical requirements must be met over the environmental ranges as defined in Section 5  
(unless otherwise noted).  
2.1 AC Input  
Table 1, lists AC input voltage and frequency requirements for continuous operation. The power supply shall  
be capable of supplying full-rated output power over two input voltage ranges rated 100-127 VAC and 200-  
240 VAC rms nominal. The correct input range for use in a given environment may be either switch-  
selectable or auto-ranging. The power supply shall automatically recover from AC power loss. The power  
supply must be able to start up under peak loading at 90 VAC.

2.2.3 Typical Power Distribution  
DC output power requirements and distributions will vary based on specific system options and  
implementation.  
Significant dependencies include the quantity and types of processors, memory, add-in card slots, and  
peripheral bays, as well as support for advanced graphics or other features. Table 3, through Table 6 show  
the power distribution and cross loading tables for power supplies in the range of 180 W to 240 W. It is  
ultimately the responsibility of the designer to define a power budget for a given target product and market.

*
To help meet the Blue Angel system requirements, RAL-UZ 78, US Presidential executive order 13221,  
future EPA requirements, and other low Power system requirements the +5 VSB standby supply efficiency  
should be as high as possible. Standby efficiency is measured with the main outputs off (PS_ON# high  
state). Standby efficiency should be greater than 50% with a load of 100mA.

2.3.1 PWR_OK  
PWR_OK is a power goodsignal. This signal should be asserted high by the power supply to indicate that  
the +12 VDC, +5 VDC, and +3.3 VDC outputs are above the under voltage thresholds listed in Table 2 in  
Section 2.2.1 and that sufficient mains energy is stored by the converter to guarantee continuous power  
Conversely, PWR_OK should be de-asserted to a low state when any of the +12 VDC, +5 VDC, or +3.3 VDC  
output voltages falls below its under voltage threshold, or when mains power has been removed for a time  
sufficiently long such that power supply operation cannot be guaranteed beyond the power-down warning  
time. The electrical and timing characteristics of the PWR_OK signal are given in Table 13 and in Figure 7.

PS_ON# is an active-low, TTL-compatible signal that allows a motherboard to remotely control the power  
*
supply in conjunction with features such as soft on/off, Wake on LAN , or wake-on-modem. When PS_ON# is  
pulled to TTL low, the power supply should turn on the four main DC output rails: +12 VDC, +5 VDC, +3.3  
VDC, and -12 VDC. When PS_ON# is pulled to TTL high or open-circuited, the DC output rails should not  
deliver current and should be held at zero potential with respect to ground. PS_ON# has no effect on the +5  
VSB output, which is always enabled whenever the AC power is present. Table 14 lists PS_ON# signal  
characteristics.  
The power supply shall provide an internal pull-up to TTL high. The power supply shall also provide de-  
bounce circuitry on PS_ON# to prevent it from oscillating on/off at startup when activated by a mechanical  
switch. The DC output enable circuitry must be SELV-compliant.  
The power supply shall not latch into a shutdown state when PS_ON# is driven active by pulses between  
10ms to 100ms during the decay of the power rails.

2.3.3 +5 VSB  
+5 VSB is a standby supply output that is active whenever the AC power is present. This output 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 state activities.  
The +5 VSB output should be capable of delivering a minimum of 2.0 A. at +5 V 5% to external circuits.  
The power supply must be able to provide the required power during a "wake up" event. If an external USB  
device generates the event, there may be peak currents as high as 2.5 A., lasting no more than 500 ms.  
Over current protection is required on the +5 VSB output regardless of the output current rating. This ensures  
the power supply will not be damaged if external circuits draw more current than the supply can provide.  
2.3.4 Power-on Time  
The power-on time is defined as the time from when PS_ON# is pulled low to when the +12 VDC, +5 VDC,  
and +3.3 VDC outputs are within the regulation ranges specified in Section 2.2.1. The power-on time shall be  
less than 500 ms (T1 < 500 ms).  
+5 VSB shall have a power-on time of two seconds maximum after application of valid AC voltages.

2.3.5 Rise Time  
The output voltages shall rise from 10% of nominal to within the regulation ranges specified in Section 2.2.1  
within 0.2 ms to 20 ms (0.2 ms T2 20 ms).  
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 2.2.1.  
The 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/ms and [Vout, nominal / 0.1] V/ms. Also, 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] V/ms.  
2.3.6 Overshoot at Turn-on / Turn-off  
The output voltage overshoot upon the application or removal of the input voltage, or the assertion/de-  
voltage. No voltage of opposite polarity shall be present on any output during turn-on or turn-off.  
2.3.7 Reset after Shutdown  
If the power supply latches into a shutdown state because of a fault condition on its outputs, the power supply  
shall return to normal operation only after the fault has been removed and the PS_ON# has been cycled  
OFF/ON with a minimum OFF time of one second.  
2.3.8 +5 VSB at AC Power-down  
After AC power is removed, the +5 VSB standby voltage output should remain at its steady state value for the  
decrease shall be monotonic in nature, dropping to 0.0 V. There shall be no other disturbances of this voltage  
at or following removal of AC power.  
2.4 Output Protection  
2.4.1 Over Voltage Protection  
The over voltage sense circuitry and reference shall reside 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 over  
voltage condition on any or all outputs. The supply shall provide latch-mode over voltage protection as

2.4.2 Short-circuit Protection  
An output short circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. The power supply shall  
shut down and latch off for shorting the +3.3 VDC, +5 VDC, or +12 VDC rails to return or any other rail.  
Shorts between main output rails and +5 VSB shall not cause any damage to the power supply. The power  
supply shall either shut down and latch off or fold back for shorting the negative rails. +5 VSB must be  
capable of being shorted indefinitely, but when the short is removed, the power supply shall recover  
automatically or by cycling PS_ON#. The power supply shall be capable of withstanding a continuous short  
circuit to the output without damage or overstress to the unit (for example, to components, PCB traces, and  
2.4.3 No-load Operation  
No damage or hazardous condition should occur with all the DC output connectors disconnected from the  
load. The power supply may latch into the shutdown state.  
2.4.4 Over Current Protection  
Overload currents applied to each tested output rail cause the output to trip before reaching or exceeding 240  
VA. For testing purposes, the overloaded currents should be ramped at a minimum rate of 10 A/s starting  
from full load.  
2.4.5 Over-temperature Protection  
As an option, the power supply may include an over-temperature protection sensor, which can trip and shut  
down the power supply at a preset temperature point. Such an overheated condition is typically the result of  
internal current overloading or a cooling fan failure. If the protection circuit is non-latching, then it should have  
hysteresis built in to avoid intermittent tripping.  
2.4.6 Output Bypass  
The output return may be connected to the power supply chassis, and will be connected to the system  
chassis by the system components.

3.3 Mounting Options  
The TFX12V mechanical design provides two options for mounting in a system chassis. The unit can be  
mounted using one of the mounting holes on the front end (non-vented end) or a chassis feature can be  
designed to engage the slot provided in the bottom of the supply. In order to accommodate different system  
chassis layouts, the TFX12V power supply is also designed to mount in two orientations (fan left and fan right)  
as shown in Figure 11. A mounting hole and slot should be provided for each orientation as shown in  
Figure 9. Details of a suggested geometry for the mounting slot are shown in Figure 10.

Version 2.0  
3.5 Airflow / Fan  
The designers choice of a power supply cooling solution depends in part on the targeted end-use system  
application(s). At a minimum, the power supply design must ensure its own reliable and safe operation.  
Fan location/direction: In general, exhausting air from the system chassis enclosure via a power supply fan  
is the preferred, most common, and most widely applicable system-level airflow solution. The location of the  
fan can have a large effect on how efficiently this air is exhausted. The location of the fan shown in Figure 9  
allows the fan to be located close to the processor cooling solution when used in the common fan left  
configuration shown in Figure 11. This close proximity of the fan will aid in the evacuation of heated air and  
helps keep the total system cooler.  
Fan size/speed: The TFX12V power supply has an 80 mm axial fan as shown in Figure 9. It is  
recommended that a thermally sensitive fan speed control circuit be used to balance system-level thermal  
and acoustic performance. The circuit typically senses the temperature of the secondary heat sink and/or  
incoming ambient air and adjusts the fan speed as necessary to keep power supply and system component  
temperatures within specifications. Both the power supply and system designers should be aware of the  
dependencies of the power supply and system temperatures on the control circuit response curve and fan  
size and should specify them carefully.  
The power supply fan should be turned off when PS_ON# is de-asserted (high). In this state, any remaining  
active power supply circuitry must rely only on passive convection for cooling.  
Venting: In general, more venting in a power supply case yields reduced airflow impedance and improved  
cooling performance. Intake and exhaust vents should be as large, open, and unobstructed as possible so as  
not to impede airflow or generate excessive acoustic noise. In particular, avoid placing objects within 0.5  
inches of the intake or exhaust of the fan itself. A raised wire fan grill is recommended instead of a stamped  
metal vent for improved airflow and reduced acoustic noise for the intake vent. Figure 9 shows the suggested  
TFX12V exhaust vent pattern.  
Considerations to the previous venting guidelines are:  
Openings must be sufficiently designed to meet the safety requirements described in Section 5.  
Larger openings yield decreased EMI-shielding performance. The suggested pattern in Figure 9  
sufficiently shields EMI in most power supplies, but the design should always be tested as outlined in  
NOTE:  
Venting in inappropriate locations can detrimentally allow airflow to bypass those areas where it is needed.  
3.6 AC Connector  
The AC input receptacle should be an IEC 320 type or equivalent. In lieu of a dedicated switch, the IEC 320  
receptacle may be considered the mains disconnect.

3.7 DC Connectors  
Figure 14 shows pin outs and profiles for typical TFX12V power supply DC harness connectors. The TFX12V  
requires an additional two-pin, power connector.  
UL Listed or recognized component appliance wiring material rated min 85 °C, 300 VDC shall be used for all  
output wiring.  
There are no specific requirements for output wire harness lengths, as these are largely a function of the  
intended end-use chassis, motherboard, and peripherals. Ideally, wires should be short to minimize  
electrical/airflow impedance and simplify manufacturing, yet they should be long enough to make all  
necessary connections without any wire tension (which can cause disconnections during shipping and  
handling). Recommended minimum harness lengths for general-use power supplies is 150 mm for all wire  
harnesses. Measurements are made from the exit port of the power supply case to the wire side of the first  
connector on the harness.

7 System Cooling Considerations  
The power supply fan location allows the system designer to utilize the airflow to help cool critical components  
such as the processor and chipset. Please note that the fan pulls air from the system, instead of blowing hot  
air in, so components must be placed such that airflow is directed across critical components. Cables, etc  
must not impede airflow.  
For more information on system thermal design, please refer to http://www.formfactors.org/.  
8 Reliability  
The de-rating process promotes quality and high reliability. All electronic components should be designed  
with conservative device d-ratings for use in commercial and industrial environments.
