PRODUCT OVERVIEW
For your mid-range power requirements, it’s hard to beat the combination of low cost, proven
reliability and outstanding electrical performance offered by the
15-20W, dual-output models of MPS’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 automatic-assembly techniques. Their superior
durability is substantiated by a rigorous in-house qualification program that includes HALT (Highly
Accelerated Life Testing).
The ultra-wide input voltage ranges of the A-Series duals (4.7-7.5V for "D5A" models, 9-36V
for "D12A" models and 18-75V for "D48A" models) make them excellent 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 (with specs as low as ±0.3% max. for line and ±0.5% 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 are housed in standard 2" x 2" x
0.45" metal packages coated with electrically non-conductive materials. They offer industry-stan-
dard pinouts and are ideally suited for high-volume computer, telecom/datacom, instrumentation and
ATE applications.

TECHNICAL NOTES
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 5 and 7), with either output grounded.
The Common pin (pin 6) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is
recommended under these conditions. The total output voltage span may be
externally trimmed as described below.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All A-Series BWR 15-20 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 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 in the tables
below. In many applications, using values greater than those listed will yield
better results.

These converters require a minimum 20% loading on each output to maintain specified
regulation. Operation under no-load conditions will not damage these devices; however
they may not meet all listed specifications.
Application-specific internal input/output filtering can be recommended and perhaps added
internally upon request. Contact MPS Applications Engineering for details.
Applying a voltage to the Control pin when no input power is applied to the converter can
cause permanent damage to the converter.
"D48A" models have BASIC, "D5A" and "D12A" models have Functional insulation.
Devices can be screened or modified for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.

On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin (pin 4) may be used for remote on/off operation. A
TTL logic high (+2 to +5 Volts, 250μA max.) applied to pin 4 disables the
converter. A TTL logic low (0 to +0.8 Volts, 70μA max.), or no connection,
enables the converter. Control voltages should be referenced to pin 2
(–Input). Applying a voltage to the Control pin when no input power is applied
to the converter can cause permanent damage to the converter.

Output Trimming
The total output voltage span, from +Output (pin 5) to –Output (pin 7) may
be trimmed ±5% via a single external trimpot or fixed resistor. The trimpot
should be connected as shown in Figure 3a with its wiper connected to pin 8
(Trim). A trimpot can be used to determine the value of a single fixed resistor
which should be connected as shown in Figures 3b and 3c. Connect the
resistor between pin 8 (Trim) and pin 5 (+Output) to trim "down" the output
voltages. Connect the resistor between pins 8 and 7 (–Output) to trim "up"
the output voltages. Fixed resistors should be metal-film types with absolute
TCR’s less than 100ppm/°C to ensure stability.

Quality and Reliability
The A-Series are the first DC/DC Converters to emerge from MPS’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 MPS 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
changes, stresses are stepped up again and the cycle is repeated until the
"fundamental limit of the technology" is determined.

If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of MPS’s BWR
15-20 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. Radiated emissions plots to
