Among the three families of triple-output DC/DC converters in MPS’s
A-Series, the 20W 2" x 2" devices are distinguished by their unique
“power-sharing” architecture. This feature enables devices to deliver
the full 20 Watts of output power under a variety of output-loading
conditions.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Each unit’s primary +5V output can source any cur-
rent up to 3 Amps (primary power = 15W); while its
auxiliary ±12/15V outputs can source currents up to
±500mA (auxiliary power = 12/15W). Devices deliver
any combination of primary plus auxiliary power as
long as the total output power does not exceed 20
Watts. This feature enables designers to select a
single device to fulfill any number of different require-
ments.
As members of MPS’s new A-Series, the 20W triples
exhibit both low cost and outstanding long-term
reliability. Their design combines straightforward
circuit topologies, the newest components, proven
SMT-on-pcb construction methods, and highly repeat-
able automatic-assembly techniques. Their superior
durability is substantiated by a rigorous in-house
qualification program that includes HALT (Highly
Accelerated Life Testing).
Each device has a +5V primary output and either
±12V or ±15V auxiliary outputs. “D12A” models
achieve fully rated performance with inputs ranging
from 9 to 36 Volts. “D48A” models operate over an
input range of 18-75 Volts.
These full-featured triples have non-latching output
current limiting, input overvoltage shutdown, input
reverse-polarity protection, and output overvoltage
clamping to protect both the power converters and
their loads.

Filtering and Noise Reduction
All A-Series TWR 20 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and
noise specifications without the use of external input/output capacitors. In
critical applications, input/output noise may be further reduced by installing
electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-ESR tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. Output capacitors should
be connected between their respective output pin (pin 5, 6 or 8) and Common
(pin 7). The caps should be located as close to the power converters as
possible. Typical values are listed below. In many applications, using values
greater than those listed will yield better results.

In critical, space-sensitive applications, MPS may be able to tailor the internal
input/output filtering of these units to meet your specific requirements. Con-
tact our Applications Engineering Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of
fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. For MPS A-Series TWR
20 Watt DC/DC Converters, you should use slow-blow type fuses with values
no greater than 4A for “D12A” models and 2A for “D48A” models.
On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin (pin 4) may be used for remote on/off operation. A TTL
logic high (+2 to +5 Volts, 250μA max.) applied to pin 4 disables the converter.
A TTL logic low (0 to +0.8 Volts, 70μA max.), or no connection, enables the
converter. Control voltages should be referenced to pin 2 (–Input). Applying a
voltage to the Control pin when no input power is applied to the converter can
cause permanent damage to the converter.
Pin Material
Weight
These converters require 10% min. loading on their primary output and 20% min.
loading on their auxiliary outputs to maintain specified regulation. Operation under no-load
conditions will not damage the devices; however they may not meet all listed specifications. For
testing and specification purposes, “full load” is defined as 2.75A on the primary +5V output and
±250/200mA on the auxiliary ±12/15V outputs. This corresponds to a total output power of 19.75W.
Application-specific internal input/output filtering can be recommended or perhaps added
internally upon request. Contact MPS Applications Engineering for details.
Applying a voltage to the Control pin when no input power is applied to the converter can
cause permanent damage to the converter.
D48A models have BASIC, D12A models have Functional insulation.Devices can be screened
or modified for higher guaranteed isolation voltages. Contact MPS Applications Engineering
for details.
To avoid damage to the surface finish, please do not use certain cleaning agents such as Vigon.
