1-General
2-Product Selection
The MGDM-35 wide input series is a full family of
DC/DC power modules designed for aerospace,
military and high-end industrial applications.
These modules use a high frequency fixed swiching
technic at 250KHz providing excellent reliability,
low noise characteristics and high power density.
Standard models are available with wide input
voltage range of 9-36, and 16-75. The serie
includes single, bi and triple output voltage choices
of 3.3, 5, 12, 15 volts.
No external heatsink is required for the
MGDM-35 series to supply 35W output power over
the full temperature range.
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, an input
undervoltage lock-out, a permanent short cir-
cuit protection and an output overvoltage pro-
tection 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
modules 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 with a GAIA
Converter automated test equipment.

Note * : The ripple output voltage is the periodic AC component imposed on the output voltage, an aperiodic and random component (noise) has also to be considered.
This noise can be reduced by adding an external capacior (typically 10nF/rated voltage depending on isolation requirement) connected between the pin Gin and the pin
Gout of the converter.This capacitor should be layed-out as close as possible from the converter.
Note ** : For load regulation characteristics from 0% to full load, please contact factory.

8-1 Module Compliance with MIL-STD-461C/D/E Standards
To meet the latest US military standards MIL-STD-461D/E (and also the MIL-STD-461C) requirements and in particular the
conducted noise emission CE102 (and also CE03) requirements, Gaïa Converter can propose a stand-alone ready-to-use EMI
filter module. This EMI filter module has to be used together with a common mode noise capacitance Cc (10nF/rated voltage
depending on isolation requirement) connected between Gin and Gout.
EMI Filter module reference : FGDS-2A-50V.
Please consult EMI filter datasheet for further details.

Electromagnetic Interference requirements according to MIL-STD-461C/D/E standards can be easily achieved as indicated in

Maximum storage temperature : 125˚C
The MGDM-35 series operating case temperature must not exceed 105°C. The maximum ambient temperature admissible
for the DC/DC converter corresponding to the maximum operating case temperature of 105°C depends on the ambient
airflow, the mounting/orientation, the cooling features and the power dissipated.
To calculate a maximum admissible ambient temperature the following method can be used. Knowing the maximum case
temparature Tcase = 105°C of the module, the power used Pout and the efficiency η :
• determine the power dissipated by the module Pdiss that should be evacuated :
Pdiss = Pout(1/ηη
ηη
η - 1)
• determine the maximum ambient temperature :
Ta = 105°C - Rth x Pdiss
where Rth is the thermal resistance from the case to ambient.
The previous thermal calculation shows two areas of operation :
• a normal operation area in a free natural ambient convection (grey area in this following graph),
• an area with cooling features (air flow or heatsink) ensuring a maximum case temperature below the maximum
operating case temperature of 105°C (white area in the following graph).

11- Description of Protections
11-1 Input Undervoltage Lock-out (UVLO)
An input undervoltage protection will inhibit the module
when input voltage drops below the lock-out turn-off
threshold (see section 3 for value) and restores to normal
operation automatically when the input voltage rises the
lock-out turn-on threshold.
The input undervoltage lock-out threshold (UVLO) can be
trimmed by connecting a resistor between UVLO and Gi
pins. This resistance can be calculated as folow :
11-2 Output Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
The short circuit protection device protects the module
against short circuit of any duration and restores the mo-
dule to normal operation when the short circuit is removed.
It operates in «hiccup» mode by testing periodically if an
overload is applied (typically every 1s recovery time). The
overload detection threshold is typically 200% of maxi-
mum current with a detection time lower than 5ms.
11-3 Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Each circuit has an internal overvoltage protection circuit
that monitors the voltage accross the output power
terminals.
It is designed to latch the converter off between 105%
and 110% of output voltage.
Once in OVP protection, the module will restart
automatically when overvoltage is removed.

12- Description of Functions
12-1 Trim Function
The output voltage Vo may be trimmed in a range of 95%/
105% of the nominal output voltage via a single external
trimpot or fixed resistor.In case of dual or triple outputs, the
trim function is also acting on the secondary outputs.
Trim Up Function
Do not attempt to trim the module higher than 105% of nomi-
nal output voltage as the overvoltage protection may occur.
Also do not exceed the maximum rated output power when
the module is trimmed up.
The trim up resistor must be connected to Vref pin.
The trim up resistance must be calculated with the following
formula :
Trim Down Function
Do not trim down more than 95% of nominal output voltage.
The available output power is reduced by the same percentage
that output voltage is trimmed down.
The trim down resistor must be connected to Gi pin.
The trim down resistance must be calculated with the following
formula :
Trim via a voltage

12- Description of Functions (continued)
12-2 On/Off Function
The control pin 8 (On/Off) can be used for applications requiring
On/Off operation. This may be done with an open collector
transistor, a switch, a relay or an optocoupler. Several
converters may be disabled with a single switch by connecting
all
On/Off pins together.
• The converter is disabled by pulling low the pin 8.
• No connection or high impedance on pin 8 enables the
converter.
By releasing the On/Off function, the converter will restart
within the start up time specifications given in table section
3. For further details please consult ‘’Logic On/Off’’ application note.
12-3 Synchronization Function
An external clock with rectangular «Pull Up» signals can be
used to lock one or more converters. The external clock si-
gnal should have a frequency range from 550KHz to 600KHz,
a low level below 0,5V a high level of 4V (+/-0.5V), a rise
time of 30 ns max. and a drop time of 100ns max.
Parameter Unit Min. Typ. Max. Notes, conditions
On/Off module enable voltage Vdc 3 / 4 Open, the switch must not sink more than 100µA
On/Off module disable voltage Vdc 0 / 1.5 The switch must be able to sink 1mA

12-4 Reference function (Vref)
The Vref signal output provides a stable 4V (±0.1 V)
reference signal on Vref pin. It is protected by an internal
10 kohms resistor. This signal may be used also in
conjunction with the Trim input pin 5 (primary side).
It is recommended to connect a filter capacitor (10nF)
between Vref and Gi, if Vref is used.

13- Application Notes
13-1 Connection of Outputs in Series
Any of the bi output converters can be configured to produce
an output of 10V (+/-5 output models), 24V (+/-12V out-
put models), or 30V (+/-15V output models) by connecting
the load across the output (+) and the output (-) with
either output grounded, and leaving the common pin
floating.
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 volta-
ges do not rise at the same time.
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 out-
put and the common load.
