DESCRIPTION
The Interpoint™ SMHF Series™ of 28 V dc-dc converters offers
a wide input voltage range of 16 to 45 volts and up to 15 watts of
output power. The units are capable of withstanding short term
transients up to 50 volts. The package is a hermetically sealed,
projection-welded metal case. Flanged and non-flanged models
are available.
The SMHF converters are switching regulators that use a quasi-
square wave, single-ended forward converter design with a
constant switching frequency of 550 kHz. Isolation between
input and output circuits is provided with a transformer in the
forward path and a temperature compensated opto-coupler in the
feedback control loop. The opto-coupler is radiation tolerant and
is especially selected for space applications.
On dual output models, cross regulation is maintained by
tightly coupled output magnetics. Up to 70% of the total output
power is available from either output, providing the opposite
output is simultaneously carrying 30% of the total output power.
Predictable current limit is accomplished by directly monitoring
the output load current and providing a constant current output
above the overload point.
The small size, high power density SMHF Series low profile
package provides up to 30 watts per cubic inch.
The SMHF converter’s feed-forward compensation system
provides excellent dynamic response and noise rejection. Audio
rejection is typically 50 dB. Typical output voltage response for a
50% to 100% step load transient is as low as 1.3% with a 150 µs
recovery time, typical. Input ripple current is typically 45 mA p-p
with output ripple voltage typically 15 mV p-p.
SMHF converters provide an inhibit terminal that can be used
to disable internal switching, resulting in no output and very
low quiescent input current. The converter is inhibited when the
inhibit pin is pulled low (≤0.8 V– output disabled). The unit is
enabled when the pin, which is internally connected to a pull-up
resistor, is left unconnected or is connected to an open-collector
gate. The open circuit output voltage associated with the inhibit
pin is 7.5 to 12 VDC. In the inhibit mode, a maximum of 5 mA
must be sunk from the inhibit pin at 28 VDC input.
The SMHF Series’ synchronization feature allows the user to
match the switching frequency of the converter to the frequency
of the system clock. This allows the user to adjust the nominal
550 kHz operating frequency to any frequency within the range of
500 kHz to 600 kHz by applying a compatible input of the desired
frequency to pin 5. The initial transition on the sync pin should be
a negative transition (i.e. from high state to low state).
SMHF Series converters provide short circuit protection by
restricting the output current to approximately 140% of the
full load output current. The output current is sensed in the
secondary stage to provide highly predictable and accurate
current limiting, and to eliminate foldback characteristics.
Undervoltage lockout prevents the units from operating below
approximately 14 VDC input voltage to keep system current
levels smooth, especially during initialization or re-start
operations.
