DFA20 Single-Output DC-DC Series Data Sheet
Description
The compact DFA20 Series provides power densities up
to 11 watts per cubic inch (0.67 watts per cm3). Ideal for
battery-operated, industrial, medical control, and remote
data collection systems, this converter has fully-filtered
inputs and outputs. Complete overload protection with
independent pulse-by-pulse current limiting and an
overtemperature shutdown ensures reliable system
operation. The output of the converter is electrically
isolated, thereby allowing the output to be configured as
a positive or negative output voltage.
Features
• RoHS lead solder exemption compliant
• Remote On/Off and trim
• Overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown
• Efficiencies to 83%
• 700V isolation; up to 1544V
on 48V converters
• Power density up to 11 Watts
per cubic inch
• Five-sided, shielded case

NOTES:
(1) All parameters measured at Tc = 25°C, nominal input voltage and full-rated load unless otherwise
noted.
(2) The Case is tied to the -Input, Pin 2.
(3) The functional temperature range is intended to give an additional data point for use in evaluating
this power supply. At the low functional temperature the power supply will function with no side
effects. However, sustained operation at the high functional temperature will reduce expected
operational life. The data sheet specifications are not guaranteed beyond the case operating range.
(4) The case thermal impedance is specified as the case temperature rise over ambient per package
watt dissipated.

NOTES:
(1) All parameters measured at Tc = 25°C, nominal input voltage and full-rated load unless otherwise noted.
(2) Noise measurement bandwidth is 0-20 MHz for peak-to-peak measurements; 10 kHz to 1 MHz for RMS measurements. Output noise is
measured with a 0.01μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 1μF, 35V Tantalum capacitor located 1” away from the converter to simulate your
PCB’s standard decoupling. Input reflected ripple is measured into a 10μH source impedance.
(3) Short-term stability is specified after a 30-minute warmup at full load, constant line and recording the drift over a 24-hour period.
(4) The input ripple rejection is specified for DC to 120 Hz ripple with a modulation amplitude of 1% of Vin.

DFA20 SERIES APPLICATION NOTES:
External Capacitance Requirements
No external capacitance is required for operation of the
DFA20 Series. The use of input capacitors with less than
0.5 Ohms ESR may cause peaking in the input filter and
degrade filter performance. External output capacitance
is not required for operation. However, it is
recommended that 1
μ
F to 10
μ
F of tantalum and 0.001 to
0.1
μ
F ceramic capacitance be selected for reduced
system noise. Additional output capacitance may be
added for increased filtering, but should not exceed
400
μ
F.
Negative Outputs
A negative output voltage may be obtained by connecting
the +OUT to circuit ground and connecting -OUT as the
negative output.
Remote ON/OFF Operation
The remote ON/OFF pin may be left floating if this
function is not used. It is recommended to drive this pin
with an open collector arrangement or a relay contact.
When the ON/OFF pin is pulled low with respect to the
-INPUT, the converter is placed in a low power drain
state.
Output Trim
The TRIM pin may be used to adjust the output ±5% from
the nominal setting. This function allows adjustment for
voltage drops in the system wiring, as well as the 5.2 volt
outputs for ECL applications. Figure 1 shows the proper
connections to use this function. A trimpot value of 10
kOhms should be used for 3.3 and 5 volt outputs. A
trimpot value of 20 kOhms should be used for 12 and 15
volt outputs. If the TRIM function is not required, the pin
may be left floating.

NOTES ON USING THE CURVES
1)
The input currents are for 20 watts of output power. For
±5 volt output models the current is approximately 15% less.
The efficiency curves are for 12 volt output models. To use for other models, adjust as follows:
±5 volt models subtract approximately 3%.
±15volt models add approximately 1%.
