H Series
Summary
The H series of DC-DC converters represents a broad and
flexible range of power supplies for use in advanced elec-
tronic systems. Features include high efficiency, reliability
and reasonable output voltage noise.
The converter inputs are protected against surges and tran-
sients occuring at the source lines. An input over- and
undervoltage cut-out circuitry disables the outputs if the in-
put voltage is outside the specified range.
All outputs are open- and short-circuit proof and are pro-
tected against overvoltages by means of built-in suppres-
sor diodes. The outputs can be inhibited by a logic signal
applied to the connector pin 2 (i). If the inhibit function is not
used pin 2 should be connected to pin 23 to enable the out-
puts.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow
visual monitoring of the system at any time.
Full input to output, input to case, output to case and output
to output isolation is provided. The modules are designed
and built according to the international safety standard
IEC/EN 60950 and have been approved by the safety

3U
agencies LGA (Germany) and UL (USA). The UL Mark for
Canada has been officially recognized by regulatory au-
thorities in provinces across Canada.
The case design allows operation at nominal load up to
50°C in a free air ambient temperature. If forced cooling is
provided, the ambient temperature may exceed 50°C but
the case temperature should remain below 80°C under all
conditions.
A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal which
disables the outputs if the case temperature
T
C
exceeds the
limit. The outputs are automatically re-enabled when the
temperature drops below the limit.
Various options are available to adapt the converters to in-
dividual applications.
The modules may either be plugged into 19 inch rack sys-
tems according to DIN 41494, or be chassis mounted.

Functional Description
DC-DC Converters
H Series
The input voltage is fed via an input filter to the input capaci-
tor. This capacitor sources a single transistor forward con-
verter. Each output is powered by a separate secondary
winding of the main transformer. The resultant voltages are
rectified and their ripples smoothed by a power choke. The
control logic senses the main output voltage
U
o1
and gener-
ates, with respect to the maximum admissible output cur-
rents, the control signal for the primary switching transistor.
This signal is fed back via a coupling transformer.
The auxiliary outputs
U
o2
and
U
o3
are unregulated. Each
auxiliary output's current is sensed and transferred to the
main control circuit using a current transformer. If one of the
outputs is driven into current limit, the other outputs will re-
duce their output voltages as well because all output cur-
rents are controlled by the same control circuit.

Input Under-/Overvoltage Lock-out
If the input voltage remains below 0.8

or exceeds

U
i max
(approx. values), an internally generated inhibit
signal disables the output(s). When checking this function
the absolute maximum input voltage rating
U

must be
carefully considered (see table:
Electrical Input Data).
Be-
tween
U

voltage may be below the value defined in table:

data
(see:
Technical Information: Measuring and Testing).
Reverse Polarity
The unit is not protected against reverse polarity at the in-
put. (Reverse polarity will cause the external fuse to blow.)
Input Fuse
The modules do not incorporate any fuse. External fuses
installed in the wiring to the inputs are essential.
