military applications. The low profile, small outline
package is ideally suited to the tight board space
requirements of many industrial and aerospace
applications. Designed for nominal 28V
DC
inputs,
this family of converters will meet the
requirements of MIL-STD-704D. The basic circuit
utilizes a pulse width modulated, feed-forward
topology at a nominal switching frequency of 550
KHz. Input to output isolation is achieved through
the use of transformers in the forward and
feedback circuits.
The proprietary magnetic feedback circuit provides
for an extremely wide bandwidth control loop with
a high phase margin. The closed loop frequency
response of this converter family extends to
approximately 50 kHz, resulting in superior line
and load transient characteristics. This feedback
method is also inherently temperature and
radiation insensitive. This gives the AHF Series an
important advantage over converters that
incorporate opto-couplers in their design.
These converters are manufactured in a facility
certified to MIL-PRF-38534. All processes used to
manufacture these converters have been qualified
to enable Lambda Advanced Analog to deliver
compliant devices. Four screening grades are
available to satisfy a wide range of requirements.
The CH grade converters are fully compliant to
MIL-PRF-38534 class H. The HB grade
converters are processed to full MIL-PRF-38534
screening but do not have class H element
evaluation as required by MIL-PRF-38534. Two
grades are fully tested and operate over the full
military temperature range without derating of
output power. Industrial and commercial grades
are also available. Variations in electrical,
mechanical and screening can be accommodated.
Extensive computer simulation using complex
modeling enables rapid design modification to be
provided. Contact Lambda Advanced Analog with
specific requirements.

1/ Parameter guaranteed by line and load regulation tests.
2/ Bandwidth guaranteed by design. Tested for 20 kHz to 2 MHz.
3/ Capacitive load may be any value from 0 to the maximum limit without compromising dc performance. A capacitive load in excess of the maximum
limit will not disturb loop stability but may interfere with the operation of the load fault detection circuitry, appearing as a short circuit during turn-on.
4/ Parameter shall be tested as part of design characterization and after design or process changes. Thereafter, parameters shall be guaranteed to the
limits specified in Table II.
5/ An overload is that condition with a load in excess of the rated load but less than that necessary to trigger the short circuit protection and is the
condition of maximum power dissipation.
6/ Load step transition time between 2 and 10 microseconds.
7/ Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where V
OUT
has returned to within ±1 percent of V
OUT
at 50 percent load.
8/ Input step transition time between 2 and 10 microseconds.
9/ Turn-on delay time measurement is for either a step application of power at the input or the removal of a ground signal from the inhibit pin (pin 1)
while power is applied to the input
is unlimited.
