DESCRIPTION
The SMTR Triple Series™ of DC/DC converters offers up to 25
watts of output power from a triple output configuration. They
operate over the full military temperature range with up to 73% effi-
ciency. SMTR Triple converters are packaged in hermetically sealed
metal cases, making them ideal for use in military, aerospace and
other high reliability applications.
S
YNCHRONIZATION
Synchronizing the converter with the system clock allows the
designer to confine switching noise to clock transitions, minimizing
interference and reducing the need for filtering. In sync mode, the
converter will run at any frequency between 500 kHz and 675 kHz.
The sync control operates with a quasi-TTL signal at any duty cycle
between 40% and 60%. The sync pin must be connected to input
common pin when not in use.

ESIGN
The SMTR converters are constant frequency, pulse-width mod-
ulated switching regulators which use a quasi-square wave, single
ended, forward converter design. Tight load regulation is maintained
via wide bandwidth magnetic feedback. The SMTR Triple Series
DC/DC converter’s design includes individual regulators on the
auxiliary outputs which provide for no cross regulation error when a
minimum 500 mA load is maintained on the main (+5) output.
Indefinite short circuit protection and overload protection are
provided by a constant current-limit feature. This protective system
senses current in the converter’s secondary stage and limits it to
approximately 115% of the maximum rated output current.
SMTR converters have internal filtering capacitors that help reduce
the need for external components in normal operation. For systems
that require compliance with MIL-STD-461C’s CE03 standard,
Interpoint offers filter/transient suppression modules which will
result in compliance. Contact your Interpoint representative for
further details.

SMTR converters are designed to provide full power operation over
a full 16 to 40 VDC voltage range. Operation below 16 volts,
including MIL-STD-704E emergency power conditions is possible
with derated power.

ESPONSE
The SMTR Triple Series feed-forward compensation system
provides excellent dynamic response and noise rejection. Audio
rejection is typically 50 dB. The minimum to maximum step line tran-
sient response is typically less than 4%.

UNCTION
SMTR converters provide an inhibit terminal that can be used to
disable internal switching, resulting in no output and very low
quiescent input current. The converter is inhibited when a TTL
compatible 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 V. In the inhibit mode, a maximum of 8 mA must be sunk
from the inhibit pin.

Notes
1. The sum of the two aux outputs is not to exceed 10 watts. The maximum
load per aux output is 7.5 watts.
2. To maintain regulation when operating the ±Aux at full load, a minimum load
of 500 mA is required on the main.
3. Measured on each output one at a time with the other outputs at full load.
4. Indefinite short circuit protection not guaranteed above 125°C (case).
5. Response of each output as all outputs are simultaneously transitioned.
Main: 50% - 100% - 50% of main full load
Auxiliaries: 25% - 50% - 25% each, of total auxiliary full load
6. Recovery time is measured from application of the transient to point at
which Vout is within 1% of regulation.
