ARH28XXS SERIES
HYBRID - HIGH RELIABILITY
RADIATION HARDENED
DC-DC CONVERTERS
Description
The ARH Series of DC-DC converters has been
designed specifically for use in the hostile environments
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 uniform
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.
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 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 DLA
Land and Martiime qualified processes. For available
screening options, refer to device screening table in
the data sheet.
Variations in electrical, mechanical and screening
specifications can be accommodated. Contact IR San
Jose for special requirements.

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. Operation
outside recommended limits is not specified.
Parameter measured from 28V to 18V or to 50V 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 2.0 MHz bandwidth.
A capacitive load of any value from 0 to the specified maximum is permitted without compromise 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
≤
2.0 A/µs.
Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where V
OUT
has returned to within ±1% of its steady state value.
Line transient rate of change, dv/dt
≤
50 V/µs.

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.
