The MGDM-150 low input voltage series is a
complete line of high density wide input range
DC/DC power modules designed for aerospace,
military and high-end industrial applications. These
modules use a patented fixed switching topology
at 420 KHz providing ultra wide input range, low
noise characteristics and high power density. Stan-
dard models are available with ultra wide input
voltage range of 9-45, 16-80 volts. The series
include single output voltage choices of 3,3, 5,
12, 15, 24, 28 volts.
The MGDM-150 low input voltage series include
synchronization load sharing, trim and sense
functions.
The synchronization function allows to synchronize
more than one converter to one frequency or an
external source frequency. The load sharing allows
parallel operation to increase power with a true
N+1.
All the modules are designed with LC network
filters to minimize reflected input current ripple
and output voltage ripple.
The modules have totally independant security
functions including input undervoltage and
overvoltage lock-out, output overvoltage protec-
tion, output current limitation protection, and
temperature protection. Additionnally a soft-start
function allows current limitation and eliminates
inrush current during start-up.
The design has been carried out with surface
mount components, planar transformer and is
manufactured in a fully automated process to
guarantee high quality. The modules are potted
with a bi-component thermal conductive
compound and used an insulated metallic
substrate to ensure optimum power dissipation
under harsh environmental conditions.

MGDM-150 Low Input Series
3- Block Diagram
The MGDM-150 low input series DC/DC converter is
based on a
constant
420KHz pulse-width modulated
forward topology designed for
ultra large input
range.
The output voltage is monitored on the secondary
side avoiding the use of optocoupler to optimize
long-term reliability
and provide good immunity
against radiations.
An auxilliary supply is implemented to feed
independently all security functions such as the input
undervoltage lock-out (UVLO), overvoltage lock-out
(OVLO), the output overload protection (OCP), the
output overvoltage protection (OVP) and the ther-
mal protection (OTP).
Hi-Rel
Grade
As this auxilliary power is independent from the main
power supply, the module features an
extreme wide
trim windows from 10% to 110%
of the nominal
output voltage.
The main power transformer designed for more than
150W power is a multi-layer planar transformer which
allows 100% reproductibility for optized module
efficiencies.
The controlled feedback regulation is located at the
secondary side allowing a high regulation bandwidth
and a very fast response to load changes.

Note * : These performances are measured with the sense line connected..
Note ** : It is recommended to mount the converter on a heatsink for this test, see section 10-3 and 10-9 for further details.
Note *** : The ripple output voltage is the periodic AC component imposed on the output voltage, an aperiodic and random component (noise) has also to be considered.
This noise can be reduced by adding 4 external decoupling capacitors connected between inputs and case and between outputs and case. These capacitance should
be layed-out as close as possible from the converter. Please refer to page 8 for more details.
