PRODUCT OVERVIEW
These devices each have a primary +5V output
that can source from Amp to .5 Amps (model
dependent) and auxiliary ±2/5V outputs that can
source from ±50 to ±250mA (model dependent).
All models can simultaneously source maximum
rated current from both primary and auxiliary
outputs. The nominal input voltage for each model
is 48V.
As members of C&D’s new A-Series, the 2-5W
triples exhibit both low cost and outstanding long-
term reliability. Their design combines straight-
forward circuit topologies, proven SMT-on-pcb
construction methods, the newest components, and
highly repeatable automatic-assembly techniques.
The A-Series TWR’s superior durability is substanti-

ated by a rigorous in-house qualification program
that includes HALT (Highly-Accelerated Life Testing),
which is designed to detect any potential electrical,
mechanical or process weakness.
Packaged in standard, 2" x 2" x 0.45", shielded
metal cases with non-conductive coatings, these
fully isolated (000Vdc minimum) DC/DC’s offer
excellent line and load regulation. Additionally,
these A-Series triples have non-latching output
current limiting, input overvoltage shutdown, input
reverse-polarity protection, and output overvoltage
clamping to protect both the power converters and
their loads. All A-Series TWR models are fully EMI
characterized and designed to meet UL950, IEC
950, CSA 950 and EN60950.

Filtering and Noise Reduction
All TWR A-Series 12-15 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple
and noise specifications without the use of external input/output capacitors.
In critical applications, input/output ripple and noise may be further reduced
by installing electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-
ESR tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. Output
capacitors should be connected between their respective output pin (pin 5, 6
or 8) and Common (pin 7) as shown in Figure 2. The caps should be located
as close to the power converters as possible. Typical values are listed below.
In many applications, using values greater than those listed will yield better
results.

These power converters require a minimum 0% loading on their primary output and a
minimum 20% loading on their auxiliary outputs to maintain specified regulation. Opera-
tion under no-load conditions will not damage these devices; however they may not meet
all listed specifications.
Application-specific internal input/output filtering can be recommended and perhaps
added internally upon request. Contact C&D Applications Engineering for details.
Devices can be screened or modified for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
Contact C&D Applications Engineering for details.
In critical, space-sensitive applications, C&D may be able to tailor the inter-
nal input/output filtering of these units to meet your specific requirements.

Quality and Reliability
The A-Series are the first DC/DC Converters to emerge from C&D’s new,
company-wide approach to designing and manufacturing the most reliable
power converters available. The five-pronged program draws our Quality
Assurance function into all aspects of new-product design, development,
characterization, qualification and manufacturing.
Design for Reliability
Design for Reliability is woven throughout our multi-phased, new-product-
development process. Design-for-reliability practices are fully documented and
begin early in the new-product development cycle with the following goals:
1. To work from an approved components/vendors list ensuring the use of
reliable components and the rigorous qualification of new components.
2. To design with safety margins by adhering to a strict set of derating guide-
lines and performing theoretical worst-case analyses.
3. To locate potential design weaknesses early in the product-development
If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of C&D’s TWR
A-Series 12-15 Watt DC/DC Converters have been characterized for radi-
ated and conducted emissions in our new EMI/EMC laboratory. Testing is
conducted in an EMCO 5305 GTEM test cell utilizing EMCO automated EMC
test software. Radiated emissions are tested to the limits of FCC Part 15,
Class B and CISPR 22 (EN 55022), Class B. Correlation to other specifica-
tions can be supplied upon request. Radiated emissions plots to FCC and
CISPR 22 for model TWR-5/1500-15/250-D48A appear below. Published
EMC test reports are available for each model number. Contact C&D’s Appli-
cations Engineering Department for more details.

Qualification
For each new product, electrical performance is verified via a comprehensive
characterization process and long-term reliability is confirmed via a rigorous quali-
fication procedure. The qual procedure includes such strenuous tests as thermal
shock and 500 hour life. Qual testing is summarized below.

cycle by using extensive HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing).
4. To prove that early design improvements are effective by employing a
thorough FRACA (Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action) system.
HALT Testing
The goal of the accelerated-stress techniques used by C&D is to force device
maturity, in a short period of time, by exposing devices to excessive levels
of "every stimulus of potential value." We use HALT (Highly Accelerated Life
Testing) repeatedly during the design and early manufacturing phases to
detect potential electrical and mechanical design weaknesses
that could result in possible future field failures.
During HALT, prototype and pre-production DC/DC converters are subjected
to progressively higher stress levels induced by thermal cycling, rate of
temperature change, vibration, power cycling, product-specific stresses (such
as dc voltage variation) and combined environments. The stresses are not
meant to simulate field environments but to expose any weaknesses in a
product’s electro/mechanical design and/or assembly processes. The goal of
HALT is to make products fail so that device weaknesses can be analyzed
and strengthened as appropriate. Applied stresses are continually stepped
up until products eventually fail. After corrective actions and/or design
changes, stresses are stepped up again and the cycle is repeated until the
"fundamental limit of the technology" is determined.
C&D has invested in a Qualmark OVS-1 HALT tester capable of applying

In-Line Process Controls and Screening
A combination of statistical sampling and 100% inspection techniques keeps
our assembly line under constant control. Parameters such as solder-paste
thickness, component placement, cleanliness, etc. are statistically sampled,
charted and fine tuned as necessary. Visual inspections are performed by
trained operators after pick-and-place, soldering and cleaning operations.
Units are 100% electrically tested prior to potting. All devices are temperature
cycled, burned-in, hi-pot tested and final-electrical tested prior to external
visual examination, packing and shipping.
Rapid Response to Problems
C&D employs an outstanding corrective-action system to immediately
address any detected shortcomings in either products or processes. When-
ever our assembly, quality or engineering personnel spot a product/process
problem, or if a product is returned with a potential defect, we immediately
perform a detailed failure analysis and, if necessary, undertake corrective
actions. Over time, this system has helped refine our assembly operation to
yield one of the lowest product defect rates in the industry.

and applied-voltage extremes added as desired. Many devices in C&D’s A-
