1-General
The MGDM-26 series is a complete line of DC/DC
power modules designed for aerospace, military
and high-end industrial applications. These mo-
dules use a high frequency fixed swiching technic
at 1MHz providing excellent reliability, low noise
characteristics and high power density. Standard
models are available with standard input voltage
range of 9-36 or 16-40 volts. The series include
single output voltage choices of 3,3, 5, 12, 15
volts.
The MGDM-26 series include synchronization and
load sharing functions.
The synchronization function allows to synchronize
more than one converter to one frequency or an
external source frequency. The load sharing allows
parallel operation to increase power with a true
N+1 redundancy.
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 and a permanent short
circuit protection to ensure efficient module pro-
tections. 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. The modules are potted with a bi-
component thermal conductive compound and
package in a metallic case to ensure the module’s
integrity under high environmental conditions.
