The GAIA Converter pre-regulator PGDS-50 series
designates a low profile power adaptator mo-
dule designed to extend input bus voltage to
meet system operation during voltage transients,
spikes, cranking and drop out occuring in avionics
or military systems.
The PGDS-50 delivers an output voltage adapted
to GAIA Converter DC/DC modules. This line of
module is optimized to provide high power
efficiency up to 96% over the whole power range
between 4W and 50W.
The PGDS-50 features 4 modes of operations as
follow:
•
Low line operation
:
Low line operation occurs when the input
bus voltage drops down below the perma-
nent input voltage range of the DC/DC
converter ; then the PGDS-50 operates in
«boost» mode to provide an output voltage
compatible with DC/DC converter.
The PGDS-50 series can sustain low line
operation down to 6V.
•
Power fail operation
:
An undervoltage lock-out stops operation and
disables the «boost» mode for voltage below
this low line operation.
•
Normal operation :
Normal operation occurs between the per-
manent input voltage of DC/DC converter;
The module is then operating in steady
transparency state.
•
Transient and spike operation :
The PGDS-50 can sustain input transient up
to 80V/100ms or 100V/50ms and spike up to
600V during 20µs with 50 ohms impedance .
The PGDS-50 series is compliant with the inter-
national input bus standards :
- MIL-STD-704A/D/E/F
- AECMA EN2282
- GAM-EG13B/AIR2021E
- DO160D cat A, B and Z
- MIL-STD-1275A/B
The design has been carried out with
surface mount components and is manufactured
in a fully automated process to guarranty high
quality. Every module is tested with a Gaïa
Converter automated test equipment. The mo-
dules are potted with a bi-component thermal
conductive compound and packaged in a metallic
case to ensure the module’s integrity under high
environmental conditions.

3- Block Diagram
The PGDS-50 module includes 3 main circuits :
• A Boost Circuit
• An Active clamping Circuit
• A Control Circuit
•
Boost Circuitry
:
The boost circuit operates when the input bus vol-
tage drops-down (low line operation) and boost the
input voltage to a higher output value.
•
Active Clamping
:
The active clamping circuit operates when the input
bus voltage increases (transient & spike operation).
The circuitry clamps the input voltage to typically
38Vdc.
Hi-Rel
Grade
•
Control Circuit :
The control circuit monitors the different modes of
operation thrugh the V
IMES
signal and allows the
functionning of the active clamping circuit or the
boost circuit.
The PGDS-50 series features 4 modes of operations :
• Power fail operation
• Low line operation
• Normal operation
• Transient & surge operation
The following figure represents the PGDS-50 series
block diagram while the table hereafter describes
the circuitry activation depending on the 4 modes of
operations.

4- Modes of Operation
4-1 PGDS-50-N-K Modes of Operation
The PGDS-50-N-K operates with J input (i.e 16-40Vdc)
family of GAIA Converter DC/DC Converters.
The PGDS-50-N-K features 4 modes of operations as
follow :
•
Low line operation
:
Low line operation occurs when the input bus vol-
tage drops down below the permanent input voltage
range of the DC/DC converter i.e 16 Vdc.
The PGDS-50-N-K then operates in boost mode to
provide an output voltage compatible with the DC/
DC converter. The PGDS-50-N-K series can sustain
low line operation down to 10V during 30 sec..
Hi-Rel

•
Power fail operation
:
An undervoltage lock-out stops operation for voltage
below this low line operation threshold.
•
Normal operation :
Normal operation occurs between the permanent input
voltage of DC/DC converter; The module is then
operating in steady transparency state.
•
Transient and spike operation :
The PGDS-50-N-K can sustain input transient up to
80V as long as 100ms and spike up to 600V during
20µs with 50 ohms impedance .
