ARM28XXT SERIES
28V Input, Triple Output
HYBRID - HIGH RELIABILITY
1 MEGA-RAD HARDENED
DC/DC CONVERTER
Description
The ARM Series of three output DC/DC converters are
designed specifically for use in the high-dose radiation
environments encountered during deep space planetary
missions. The extremely high level of radiation tolerance
inherent in the ARM design is assured as a result of
extensive research, thorough analysis and testing,
careful selection of components and lot verification
testing of finished hybrids. Many of the best circuit
design features characterizing earlier International
Rectifier products have been incorporated into the ARM
topology. Capable of uniformly high performance
through long term exposures in radiation intense
environments, this series sets the standard for distributed
power systems demanding high performance and
reliability.
ARM
Features
n Total Dose > 1MRad (Si)
n SEE Hardened to LET up to 83 Mev.cm2/mg
n Derated per MIL-STD-975 & MIL-STD-1547
n Output Power Range 3 to 30 Watts
n 19 to 50 Volt Input Range
The ARM converters are hermetically sealed in a
rugged, low profile package utilizing copper core pins
to minimize resistive DC losses. Long-term hermeticity
is assured through use of parallel seam welded lid
attachment along with International Rectifier’s rugged
ceramic pin-to-package seal. Axial lead orientation
facilitates preferred bulkhead mounting to the principal
heat-dissipating surface.
