FEATURES Among the three families of triple-output DC/DC converters in DATEL’s new
A-Series, the 8-11W, 2" x 1" devices stand out as the industry’s smallest
full-featured triples. Housed in miniature 2" x 1" x 0.375", 5-side shielded, metal
packages with electrically non-conductive coatings, these power converters offer
non-latching output current limiting, input overvoltage shutdown (except D5A
models), input reverse-polarity protection, and output overvoltage clamping to pro-
tect both the power converters and their loads.
As members of DATEL’s new A-Series, the 8-11W triples feature 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 repeatable automatic-assembly techniques. Their superior durability is sub-
stantiated by a rigorous in-house qualification program that includes HALT (Highly
Accelerated Life Testing).
Each of these fully line and load-regulated switching DC/DC converters has a
+5V primary output (with output current as high as 1A) and either ±12V or ±15V
auxiliary outputs (with currents as high as ±210mA). These devices were designed
to power small analog/digital partitions in equipment employing distributed-power
architectures with bus voltages between 4.7 and 72 Volts. Applications include
computer/networking, telecom/datacom equipment, industrial instrumentation and
automatic test equipment.

Filtering and Noise Reduction
All A-Series TWR 8-11 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated
ripple and noise specifications without the use of external input/
output capacitors. In critical applications, input/output ripple and
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 4, 5 or 7) and
Common (pin 6) as shown in Figure 2. 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.
To Reduce Input Ripple
"D5A" Models 47μF, 10V
"D12A" Models 20μF, 25V
"D24A" Models 20μF, 50V
"D48A" Models 10μF, 100V
To Reduce Output Ripple
+5V Output 47μF, 10V, Low ESR
±12/15V Outputs 22μF, 20V, Low ESR
In critical, space-sensitive applications, DATEL may be able to tailor the in-
ternal input/output filtering of these units to meet your specific requirements.
Contact our Applications Engineering Group for additional details.

If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of
DATEL’s TWR 8-11 Watt A-Series DC/DC Converters have been
characterized for radiated and conducted emissions in our new EMI/
EMC laboratory. Testing is conducted in an EMCO 5305 GTEM test
cell utilizing EMCO automated EMC test software. Radiated emis-
sions are tested to the limits of FCC Part 15, Class B and CISPR 22
(EN 55022), Class B. Correlation to other specifications can be sup-
plied upon request. Radiated emissions plots to FCC and CISPR 22
for model TWR-5/1000-12/125-D5A appear below. Published EMC
test reports are available for each model number. Contact DATEL’s
Applications Engineering Department for more details.

Quality and Reliability
The A-Series are the first DC/DC Converters to emerge from DATEL’s new,
company-wide approach to designing and manufacturing the most reliable
power converters available. The five-pronged program draws our Quality
Assurance function into all aspects of new-product design, development,
characterization, qualification and manufacturing.

Design for Reliability
Design for Reliability is woven throughout our multi-phased, new-product-
development process. Design-for-reliability practices are fully documented
and begin early in the new-product development cycle with the following
goals:
1. To work from an approved components/vendors list ensuring the use of
reliable components and the rigorous qualification of new components.
2. To design with safety margins by adhering to a strict set of derating
guidelines and performing theoretical worst-case analyses.
3. To locate potential design weaknesses early in the product-development
cycle by using extensive HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing).
4. To prove that early design improvements are effective by employing a
thorough FRACA (Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action) system.
HALT Testing
The goal of the accelerated-stress techniques used by DATEL is to force
device maturity, in a short period of time, by exposing devices to excessive
levels of "every stimulus of potential value." We use HALT (Highly Acceler-
ated Life Testing) repeatedly during the design and early manufacturing
phases to detect potential electrical and mechanical design weaknesses
that could result in possible future field failures.
During HALT, prototype and pre-production DC/DC converters are subjected
to progressively higher stress levels induced by thermal cycling, rate of
temperature change, vibration, power cycling, product-specific stresses
(such as dc voltage variation) and combined environments. The stresses are
not meant to simulate field environments but to expose any weaknesses in a
product’s electro/mechanical design and/or assembly processes. The goal
of HALT is to make products fail so that device weaknesses can be analyzed
and strengthened as appropriate. Applied stresses are continually stepped
up until products eventually fail. After corrective actions and/or design
changes, stresses are stepped up again and the cycle is repeated until the
"fundamental limit of the technology" is determined.
DATEL has invested in a Qualmark OVS-1 HALT tester capable of applying
voltage and temperature extremes as well as 6-axis, linear and rotational,
random vibration. A typical HALT profile (shown above) consists of thermal
cycling (–55 to +125°C, 30°C/minute) and simultaneous, gradually increas-
ing, random longitudinal and rotational vibration up to 20G’s with load cycling
and applied-voltage extremes added as desired. Many devices in DATEL’s
new A-Series could not be made to fail prior to reaching either the limits of
the HALT chamber or some previously known physical limit of the device.
We also use the HALT chamber and its ability to rapidly cool devices to verify
their "cold-start" capabilities.
Qualification
For each new product, electrical performance is verified via a comprehensive
characterization process and long-term reliability is confirmed via a rigorous
qualification procedure. The qual procedure includes such strenuous tests
as thermal shock and 500 hour life. Qual testing is summarized below.
