It’s hard to beat the combination of low cost, small size (standard 2" x 1" x 0.375"
package) proven reliability and outstanding electrical performance offered by the
7-10W, dual-output models of C&D’s new A-Series DC/DC converters. These highly
efficient, rugged converters combine straightforward circuit topologies, the newest
components, proven SMT-on-pcb construction methods, and highly repeatable auto-
matic-assembly techniques. Their superior durability is substantiated by a rigorous
in-house qualification program that includes HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing).
The wide input voltage ranges of these A-Series duals (4.7-7.25V for "D5A"
models, 9-18V for "D12A" models and 18-75V for "D48A" models) make them excel-
lent candidates for battery-powered systems or for distributed power architectures.
Their ±5, ±12 or ±15 Volt outputs cover virtually all standard applications.
These popular power converters are fully isolated (1500Vdc guaranteed) and
display excellent line and load regulation (±0.3% max. for line and ±1% max. for load).
They are completely I/O protected (input overvoltage shutdown and reverse-polarity
protection, output current limiting and overvoltage protection) and contain input (pi
type) and output filtering to reduce noise. They require no external components and
offer true "plug-and-play" convenience.
These extremely reliable, cost-effective power converters carry industry-standard
pinouts making them ideal replacements for other more costly, less reliable power
converters in computer, telecom/datacom, instrumentation and ATE applications.
They are an excellent choice for both new design-ins and upgrading older systems.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating." Any
BWR model may be configured to produce an output of 10V, 24V or 30V
(for ±5V, ±12V or ±15V models, respectively) by applying the load across
the +Output and –Output pins (pins 3 and 5), with either output grounded.
The Common pin (pin 4) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is
recommended under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All A-Series BWR 7-10 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 capac-
itors should be connected between their respective output pin (pin 3 or 5) and
Common (pin 4) as shown in Figure 2. The caps should be located as close
to the power converters as possible. Typical values are listed in the tables
below. In many applications, using values greater than those listed will yield
better results.

If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of C&D’s BWR
7-10 Watt A-Series DC/DC Converters have been characterized for radi-
ated 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 emissions are tested to the limits of FCC Part 15,
Class B and CISPR 22 (EN 55022), Class B. Correlation to other specifica-
tions can be supplied upon request. Radiated emissions plots to FCC and
CISPR 22 for model BWR-15/330-D48A appear below. Published EMC test
reports are available for each model number. Contact C&D’s Applications
Engineering Department for more details.

changes, stresses are stepped up again and the cycle is repeated until the
"fundamental limit of the technology" is determined.
C&D 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 C&D’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.

Quality and Reliability
The A-Series are the first DC/DC Converters to emerge from C&D’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 guide-
lines 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 thor-
ough FRACA (Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action) system.
HALT Testing
The goal of the accelerated-stress techniques used by C&D 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 Accelerated 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

In-Line Process Controls and Screening
A combination of statistical sampling and 100% inspection techniques keeps
our assembly line under constant control. Parameters such as solder-paste
thickness, component placement, cleanliness, etc. are statistically sampled,
charted and fine tuned as necessary. Visual inspections are performed by
trained operators after pick-and-place, soldering and cleaning operations.
Units are 100% electrically tested prior to potting. All devices are temperature
cycled, burned-in, hi-pot tested and final-electrical tested prior to external
visual examination, packing and shipping.
Rapid Response to Problems
C&D employs an outstanding corrective-action system to immediately
address any detected shortcomings in either products or processes. When-
ever our assembly, quality or engineering personnel spot a product/process
problem, or if a product is returned with a potential defect, we immediately
perform a detailed failure analysis and, if necessary, undertake corrective
actions. Over time, this system has helped refine our assembly operation to
yield one of the lowest product defect rates in the industry.
