The Interpoint™ MCH Series™ and MGH Series™ of dc-dc
converters deliver 1.5 watts of output power while saving
significant board real estate. The wide input voltage range of 12
to 50 VDC accepts the varying voltages of military, aerospace, or
space bus power and tightly regulates output voltages to protect
downstream components. Transient protection of 80 volts for up
to 120 milliseconds exceeds the requirements of MIL-STD-704A
for the 5 and 12 volt single models and the 12 volt dual model.
The 15 volt single and dual converters will withstand transients of
up to 70 volts for up to 120 milliseconds.
The converters are offered with standard screening, “ES”
screening, or fully compliant to “883” MIL-PRF-38534 Class H
screening. See “Table 11: Element Evaluation” on page 12 and
“Table 12: Environmental Screening” on page 13. Standard
microcircuit drawings (SMD) are available. See “Table 5:
MCH SMD Numbers” on page 4 and “Table 6: MGH SMD
Numbers” on page 4.
Dual models regulate the negative output with magnetic coupling
to the positive output. Up to 80% of the total load may be on
one output providing that the other output carries a minimum of
20% of the total load. The dual models can be used at double
the output voltage by connecting the load between positive and
negative outputs, leaving the common unconnected.
(ex: MCH2805D can be used as a 10 VDC output.)

MCH and MGH converters provide an inhibit terminal that can be
used to disable internal switching, resulting in no output voltage
and an input current as low as 2.3 mA. The converter is inhibited
when the inhibit pin is pulled below 0.8 V and enabled when its
inhibit pin is left floating. An external inhibit interface should be
capable of pulling the converter’s inhibit pin below 0.8 V while
sinking the maximum inhibit current and also allowing the inhibit
pin to float high to enable the converter. A voltage should not be
applied to the inhibit pin. The open circuit voltage present on the
inhibit pin is 7 to 12 V.
MCH Series and MGH Series of dc-dc converters incorporate a
continuous flyback topology with a constant switching requency
f
of approximately 370 kHz. Current-mode pulse width modulation
(PWM) provides output voltage regulation. Output error voltage
is magnetically fed back to the input side of the PWM to regulate
output voltage. Regulation is also affected by the load; refer
to the Electrical Characteristics Table 9 on page 6 and
Table 10 on page 7.

Undervoltage lockout prevents the converters from operating
below approximately 8 VDC input voltage to keep system
current levels smooth, especially during initialization or re-start
operations. All models include a soft-start function to prevent
large current draw and minimize overshoot. The converters also
provide short circuit protection by restricting the current.

Use the Interpoint FMSA-461 (down-leaded) or FMGA-461
(surface mount, side-leaded) EMI filters to pass the CE03
requirements of MIL-STD-461C.

MCH - Down-leaded package
The MCH Series converters are packaged in hermetically sealed,
projection-welded metal cases which provide EMI/RFI shielding.
See “Figure 21: MCH Case Dimensions” on page 10.
MGH - Surface mount package
The surface mount MGH dc-dc converters can be mounted with
pick-and-place equipment or manually. It is recommended that
the case be attached with flexible epoxy adhesive or silicone
which is thermally conductive (>1 watt /meter/°K).
Internal components are soldered with SN96 (melting
temperature 221°C) to prevent damage during reflow. Maximum
reflow temperature for surface mounting the MGH converter is
220°C for a maximum of 30 seconds. SN60, 62, or 63 are the
recommended types of solder. Hand soldering should not exceed
300°C for 10 seconds per pin.
The hermetically sealed metal cases are available in two different
lead configurations. See “Figure 22: MGH Case Dimensions” on
page 11 and “Figure 23: MGH Gull-Wing Solder Pad Layout”
on page 11.

Notes:
1. Guaranteed by qualification test and/or analysis. Not an in-line test.
2. See “Figure 23: MGH Gull-Wing Solder Pad Layout” on page 11 for more information
3. Dual outputs: The over-current limit will trigger when the sum of the currents from both outputs reaches 125% (typical value) of the maximum
rated “total” current of both outputs.
4. An external inhibit interface should be used to pull the inhibit low or leave it floating. The inhibit pin can be left unconnected if not used.
