Hi-Rel DC/DC CONVERTER MGDM-04 : 4W POWER Hi-Rel Grade Single, Bi & Triple Outputs Metallic Case - 1 500 VDC Isolation * 28 Vdc input compliant with MIL-STD-704 D/E * Low profile : 0,3`' (7.5mm) * Nominal power of 4W without derating * Wide temperature range : -40C/+105C case * Soft start * Galvanic isolation 1.500 VDC * Integrated LC EMI filter 1-General * Permanent short circuit protection * Standard pin out DIL24 9 pins * Inhibit function * No optocoupler for high reliability * RoHS or Leaded process option The MGDM-04 series is a full family of high performance and low profile DC/DC power modules designed for aerospace, military and high-end industrial applications. These modules use a high frequency fixed switching technic at 480KHz providing excellent reliability, low noise characteristics, high power density and a low profile package. Standard models are available with nominal input voltages as 5, 12 or 28 volts in range of 4,5-5,5 , 9-36 or 16-40 volts. The series include single, bi and triple output voltage choices of 3.3, 5, 12, 15, +/-5, +/-12 or +/-15 volts. No external heatsink is required for the MGDM-04 series to supply 4W output power over the case temperature range of -40C up to 105C. All the modules are designed with LC network filters to minimize reflected input current ripple and output voltage ripple. The modules include a soft-start, a permanent short circuit protection and an output overvoltage protection to ensure efficient module protections. The soft-start allows current limitation and eliminates inrush current during start-up. The short circuit protection completely protects the module against short-circuits of any duration by a shut-down and restores to normal when the overload is removed. The design has been carried out with surface mount components and is manufactured in a fully automated process to guarantee high quality. Each module is tested and burned in with a GAIA Converter automated test equipment before and after encapsulation. The modules are potted with a bi-component thermal conductive compound and packaged in a metallic case to ensure the module's integrity under high environmental conditions. 2-Product Selection Single output model Bi output model Triple output model : MGDS - 04 : MGDB - 04 : MGDT - 04 - input output input output input output Input Voltage Range Permanent Transient C : 4,5-5,5 VDC H : 9-36 VDC J : 16-40 VDC n/a 40 VDC/100 ms * 50 VDC/100 ms * / / / option suffix option suffix option suffix Output B : 3.3 VDC C : 5 VDC or +/-5VDC E : 12 VDC or +/-12VDC F : 15 VDC or +/-15VDC CF : 5 VDC and +/-15 VDC * Consult factory Options : /T : option for -55C start up operating temperature /S : option for screening and serialization Suffix : nothing : RoHS process -L : leaded process (available in N.

The MGDM-04 series operating case temperature must not exceed 105C. The maximum ambient temperature admissible for the DC/DC converter corresponding to the maximum operating case temperature of 105C depends on the ambient airflow, the mounting/orientation, the cooling features and the power dissipated.

It operates in hiccup mode by testing periodically if an overload is applied (typically every 200ms recovery time). The overload detection threshold is typically 200% of maximum current and typically 300% of maximum current for `C' input range series with a detection time lower than 5ms. Vo (%) 100 detection time x time recovery time recovery time 11-2 Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) The output overvoltage protection device protects external components against high voltage or possible overvoltages which can be supplied by the module (i.e in case of internal failure). It consists of a zener diode clamping the output voltage; under worst case conditions this zener diode will short-circuit. The output voltage protection is not designed to withstand externally applied output overvoltages to protect the module itself. 4 12- Description of Functions 12-1 On/Off Function The control pin 20 (On/Off) can be used for applications requiring On/Off operation. By using an open collector command with a transistor Q referenced to the common terminal (Gi) : * A logic pulled low (<0.2V@1mA, referenced to Gi) on pin 20 disables the converter * No connection or high impedance on pin 20 enables the converter. On/Off Command By releasing the On/Off function, the converter will restart within the start-up time specifications given in table page 3.

VI +Vo Go GI -Vo VI Vo GI Go 2 x Vo 13-2 Connection of Modules in Series The output of single output units can be connected in series without any precautions to provide higher output voltage level. Nevertheless, GAIA Converter recommends to protect each individual output by a low power shottky diode rated with the maximum current of the converter to avoid reverse polarity at any output. Reverse polarity may occur at start up if the output voltages do not rise at the same time. 2 x Vo VI Vo 4 GI Go VI Vo 13-3 Connection of Modules in Parallel Several converters with equal output voltage can be connected in parallel to increase power. Nevertheless some cares have to be taken in particular as the output voltage of each converter is slightly different, when paralleling, the converter with the highest output voltage will source the most current. However the GAIA Converter modules are designed with a "soft'' output voltage versus current characteristic. This causes the output voltage of each converter to automatically adjust downward as its current increases so each converter very approximately shares the total output current. It is important that each converter has approximately the same impedance between their output and the common load.
