DESCRIPTION
The DCH Series™ offers isolated, unregulated DC/DC converters
with up to 3 watts of output power in a low profile (0.350 max.) metal
package. Single and dual output models are available with input
voltages of 5, 12, or 28 VDC. DCH Series converters operate over
a –55°C to +100°C temperature range.
DCH Series converters use a non-saturating core circuit operating
at a frequency of approximately 100 kHz, which reduces reflected
input ripple and minimizes EMI/RFI problems. For applications
requiring MIL-STD-461C, CEO3, reflected input ripple levels, refer
to Section B5 or contact your Interpoint representative for matching
EMI filters.
Figure 1 shows a standard connection scheme for a dual output
model. Users may also elect to use a dual output device to provide
a single output at double the rated output voltage. The double
voltage connection is achieved by leaving the normal output
common pin (Pin 15) unconnected and using either the positive or
negative Vout pin for the output common connection.
On all DCH Series models, a tantalum capacitor with a minimum
value of 22 µF and an appropriate voltage rating should be
connected between the output common and the output line(s) to
minimize output ripple.

Notes
1. Nominal output voltage is correct only for nominal input voltage. Output voltage changes in proportion to input voltage.
2. Output ripple results require the connection of a tantalum capacitor (22 µF minimum) across each output.
