AHE2800S Series
DESCRIPTION
The AHE2800S Series of DC/DC converters feature
high power density and an extended temperature
range for use in military and industrial applications.
Designed to MIL-STD-704 input requirements,
these devices have nominal 28V
DC
inputs with +5v,
+12v and +15v single outputs to satisfy a wide range
of requirements. The circuit design incorporates a
pulse width modulated push-pull topology operating
in the feed-forward mode at a nominal switching
frequency of 250 KHz. Input to output isolation is
achieved through the use of transformers in the
forward and feedback circuits.
The advanced feedback design provides fast loop
response for superior line and load transient charac-
teristics and offers greater reliability and radiation
tolerance than devices incorporating optical feed-
back circuits.
Three standard temperature grades are offered with
screening options. Refer to Part Number section.
They can be provided in a standard plug-in package
for PC mounting or in a flanged package for more
severe environments.
These converters are manufactured in a facility
fully qualified to MIL-PRF-38534. All processes used
to manufacture these converters have been
qualified to enable Lambda Advanced Analog to
deliver compliant devices. Two screening grades are
available to satisfy a wide range of requirements.
The CH grade converters are fully compliant to
MIL-PRF-38534 class H. The HB grade converters
are processed to full class H screening but do not
have class H element evaluation as required by
MIL-PRF-38534. Both grades are fully tested and
operate over the full military temperature range
without derating of output power. Variations in
electrical, mechanical and screening can be
accommodated. Extensive computer simulation
using complex modeling enables rapid design
modification to be provided. Contact Lambda
Advanced Analog with specific requirements.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Inhibit Function
Connecting the inhibit input (Pin 2) to input common
(Pin 10) will cause the converter to shut down. It is
recommended that the inhibit pin be driven by an
open collector device capable of sinking at least
400µA of current. The open circuit voltage of the
inhibit input is 11.5 ±1VDC.
EMI Filter
An optional EMI filter (AFC461) will reduce the input
ripple current to levels below the limits imposed by
MIL-STD-461 CEO3.
Device Synchronization
Whenever multiple DC/DC converters are utilized in
a single system, significant low frequency noise
may be generated due to slight difference in the
switching frequencies of the converters (beat fre-
quency noise). Because of the low frequency nature
of this noise (typically less than 10KHz), it is difficult
to filter out and may interfere with proper operation
of sensitive systems (communications, radar or
telemetry). Lambda Advanced Analog offers an option
which provides synchronization of multiple AHE/ATW/
ATO type converters, thus eliminating this type of noise.
To take advantage of this capability, the system
designer must assign one of the converters as the
master. Then, by definition, the remaining convert-
ers become slaves and will operate at the masters’
switching frequency. The user should be aware that
the synchronization system is fail-safe; that is, the
slaves will continue operating should the master
frequency be interrupted for any reason. The layout
must be such that the synchronization output (pin 9)
of the master device is connected to the synchroni-
zation input (pin 9) of each slave device. It is
advisable to keep this run short to minimize the
possibility of radiating the 250KHz switching fre-
quency.
The appropriate parts must be ordered to utilize this
feature. After selecting the converters required for
the system, an ‘MSTR’ suffix is added for the master
converter part number and an ‘SLV’ suffix is added
for slave part number. See Part Number section.
Output Adjust (AHE2805) only
The output voltage of the AHE2805 can be adjusted
upward by connecting Output Adjust (Pin 3) and
Output Common (Pin 4) as shown in Table 1.
