description
Predictable current limit is accomplished by direct monitoring
of the output load current, which results in a constant current
output above the overload point. Internal input and output filters
eliminate the need for external capacitors.
The SMSA Series™ of high frequency, space qualified, dc-dc
converters provide up to 5 watts output power over the full
military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C with up to 74%
efficiency. Thick-film hybrid techniques provide military/aerospace
reliability levels and optimum miniaturization. The hermetically
sealed case is 1.075 by 1.075 inches with a height of 0.270
inches. Power density for the SMSA Series converters is 16 watts
per cubic inch. The SMSA Series’ small size, light weight and
hermetically sealed metal packages make them ideal for use in
space, military, aerospace and other high reliability applications.
WiDe voltage range
The SMSA converters are designed to provide full power
operation over the full 16 to 40 VDC voltage range. An
undervoltage lockout feature keeps the converter shutdown
below approximately 13 VDC to ensure smooth initialization.
Screening
Dynamic reSponSe
SMSA converters offer the following screening options: Space
Prototype (O), Class H, or Class K. Radiation tolerant to
Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) levels of “-” (O), “P” or
“R”, per MIL-STD-38534. Interpoint model numbers use an “O” in
the RHA designator position to indicate the “-” (dash) Radiation
Hardness Assurance level of MIL-PRF-38534, which is defined
as “no RHA”. See “Table 10: Environmental Screening and RHA
Levels” on page 15 for more information.
The SMSA feed-forward compensation system provides excellent
dynamic response and noise rejection. Audio rejection is typically
50 dB (“Figure 15” on page 11). The minimum to maximum
step line transient response is typically less than 1% (“Figure 10”
on page 10 and “Figure 19” on page 11).
inhibit Function
SMSA converters provide an inhibit feature that can be used to
disable internal switching and inhibit the unit’s output. Inhibiting in
this manner results in low standby current, and no generation of
switching noise.
converter DeSign
The SMSA converters are switching regulators that use a flyback
converter design with a constant switching frequency of 500 kHz.
They are regulated, isolated units using a pulse width modulated
topology. Isolation between input and output circuits is provided
with a transformer in the forward power loop and an optical link in
the feedback control loop. Excellent input line transient response
and audio rejection is achieved by an advanced feed-forward
compensation technique.
The converter is inhibited when an active low (≤0.8 V) is applied
to the inhibit pin. The unit is enabled when the pin, which is
internally connected to a pull-up resistor, is left unconnected or
is connected to an open collector gate. The open circuit output
voltage associated with the inhibit pin is 9 to 11 VDC. In the
inhibit mode, a maximum of 4 mA must be sunk from the inhibit
pin at 28 VDC input.
On dual output models negative output regulation is maintained
by tightly coupled magnetics.
