designed specifically for use in the hostile radiation
environments characteristic of space and weapon
systems. The high level of radiation tolerance
inherent in the ARH design is the result of
extensive research, thorough analysis and testing
and of careful component specification. Designed
to supplement the triple output configuration
provided by the ART series, the ARH circuit
topology is the follow-on to the successful ART
design and incorporates many of the design
features characterizing that product line. Capable
of uniformly high performance over long term
exposures in radiation intense environments, this
series expands the standard for distributed power
systems demanding high performance and
reliability in the harsh environments presented in
space.
The ARH converters are hermetically sealed in a
rugged, low profile package utilizing copper core
input and output pins to minimize resistive DC
losses. Long term hermeticity is assured through
use of parallel seam welded lid attachment along
with Lambda Advanced Analog's rugged ceramic
pin-to-package seal. Axial orientation of the leads
facilitates preferred bulkhead mounting placing the
converter on the principal heat dissipating surface.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-
PRF-38534, these converters are fabricated
utilizing DSCC qualified processes, and are
compliant to Class H while being fully processed to
the requirements of Class K. Complete PI & CI
testing has been completed including Group C life
test. PI & CI test results can be provided with
shipment data packages. Variations in electrical,
mechanical and screening specifications can be
accommodated.

Operation outside absolute maximum/minimum limits may cause permanent damage to the device. Extended operation at the limits may
permanently degrade performance and affect reliability.
Device performance specified in Electrical Performance table is guaranteed when operated within recommended limits.
recommended limits is not specified.
Parameter measured from 28 V to 18 V or to 50 V while load remains fixed at 10%, 50% and 100% of Imax.
Parameter measured from 50% to 10% or 100% of maximum load conditions while line remains fixed at 18, 28 or 50 volts.
Guaranteed for a bandwidth of DC to 20 Mhz. Tested using a 20 Khz to 2 Mhz bandwidth.
A capacitive load of any value from 0 to the specified maximum is permitted without comprise to DC performance. A capacitive load in excess of the
maximum limit may interfere with the proper operation of the converter’s short circuit protection, causing erratic behavior during turn on.
Parameter is tested as part of design characterization or after design or process changes. Thereafter, parameters shall be guaranteed to the limits
specified in the table.
Load transient rate of change, di/dt
≤
2 A/µSec.
Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where V
OUT
has returned to within ±1% of its steady state value.
Operation outside
10. Line transient rate of change, dv/dt
≤
50 V/µSec.
11. Turn on delay time is for either a step application of input power or a logical low to high transition on the enable pin (pin 3) while power is present at
the input.

Parameter verified during dynamic load regulation tests.
Guaranteed for DC to 20 MHz bandwidth. Test conducted using a 20KHz to 2MHz bandwidth.
For ARH2803.3, maximum output power is 25 W and maximum current is 7575 mA at T
C
= +125ºC (Subgroup 2)
Output is measured for all combinations of line and load. Only the minimum and maximum readings for the output are recorded.
Load step transition time
≥
10µS.
Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where V
OUT
has returned to within ±1% of its steady state value.
Turn on delay time is tested by application of a logical low to high transition on the enable pin (pin 3) with power present at the input.
Subgroups 1 and 4 are performed at +25ºC, subgroups 2 and 5 at +125ºC and subgroups 3 and 6 at -55ºC.
