Figure 15. Schematic of Test Setup for EMI Measurements
Note: Figures 11–15 were obtained from measurements on the ADDC02805SA, a single 5 V dc output converter. Since the construction and topology of the ADDC02828SA is almost identical to the ADDC02805SA, and the component values of the EMI
differential and common-mode filter in the ADDC02828SA are identical to the ADDC02805SA, the subject figures are shown here
as typical of the ADDC02828SA.
–6–
REV. 0
ADDC02828SA
BASIC OPERATION
PIN CONNECTIONS
Pins 1 and 2 (6SENSE)
The ADDC02828SA converter uses a flyback topology with
dual interleaved power trains operating 180° out of phase. Each
power train switches at a fixed frequency of 500 kHz, resulting
in a 1 MHz fixed switching frequency as seen at the input and
output of the converter. In a flyback topology, energy is stored
in the inductor during one half portion of the switching cycle
and is then transferred to the output filter during the next half
portion. With two interleaved power trains, energy is transferred
to the output filter during both halves of the switching cycle,
resulting in smaller filters to meet the required ripple.
Pins 1 and 2 must always be connected for proper operation,
although failure to make these connections will not be catastrophic
to the converter under normal operating conditions. If no load
is present on the converter, failure to make these connections
could result in damage to the device. If the ADDC02828SA is
used to provide a +28 V dc output, Pin 1 must always be connected to the output sense reference (Pins 14 and 15) and Pin 2
must always be connected to +VOUT (Pins 12 and 13). If the
ADDC02828SA is used to provide a –28 V dc output, Pin 1
must always be connected to RETURN (Pins 16 and 17) and
Pin 2 must always be connected to the output sense reference
(Pins 14 and 15). The connections to +VOUT (for a +28 V dc
output) and RETURN (for a –28 V dc output) can be made at
any one of the output pins of the converter, or remotely at the
load. A remote connection at the load can adjust for voltage
drops of as much as 0.25 V dc between the converter and the
load.
Long remote sense leads can affect converter stability, although
this condition is rare. The impedance of the long power leads
between the converter and the remote sense point could affect
the converter’s unity gain crossover frequency and phase margin. Consult factory if long remote sense leads are to be used.
A five pole differential input EMI filter, along with a commonmode EMI capacitor and careful attention to layout parasitics, is
designed to meet all applicable requirements in MIL-STD-461D
when installed in a typical system setup. A more detailed discussion of CE102 and other EMI issues is included in the section entitled EMI Considerations.
OBS
The converter uses current mode control and employs a high
performance opto-isolator in its feedback path to maintain isolation between input and output. The control circuit is designed
to give a nearly constant output current as the output voltage
drops from VO nom to VSC during a short circuit condition. It
does not let the current fold back below the maximum rated
output current. The output overvoltage protection circuitry,
which is independent from the normal feedback loop, protects
the load against a break in the remote sense leads. Remote
sense connections, which can be made at the load, can adjust
for voltage drops of as much as 0.25 V dc between the converter
and the load, thereby maintaining an accurate voltage level at
the load.
OLE
TE
Pin 3 (ADJUST)
An adjustment pin is provided so the user can change the nominal output voltage during the prototype stage. Since very low
temperature coefficient resistors are used to set the output voltage and maintain tight regulation over temperature, using standard external resistors to adjust the output voltage will loosen
output regulation over temperature. Furthermore, since the
status trip point is not changed when the output voltage is adjusted using external resistors, the status line will no longer trip
at the standard levels of the newly adjusted output voltage. If
necessary, modified standard units can be ordered with the
necessary changes made inside the package at the factory. The
ADJUST function is sensitive to noise, and care should be taken
in the routing of connections.
To make the output voltage higher, place a resistor from ADJUST
(Pin 3) to –SENSE (Pin 1). To make the output voltage lower,
place a resistor from ADJUST (Pin 3) to +SENSE (Pin 2).
Figures 16 and 17 show resistor values for a ± 5% change in
output voltage:
An input overvoltage protection feature shuts down the converter when the input voltage exceeds (nominally) 52.5 V dc.
An internal temperature sensor shuts down the unit and prevents it from becoming too hot if the heat removal system fails.
The temperature sensed is the case temperature and is factory
set to trip at a nominal case temperature of 110°C to 115°C.
The shut-down temperature setting can be raised externally or
disabled by the user.
Each unit has an INHIBIT pin that can be used to turn off the
converter. This feature can be used to sequence the turn-on of
multiple converters and to reduce input power draw during
extended time in a no load condition.
A SYNC pin, referenced to the input return line (Pin 10), is
available to synchronize multiple units to one switching frequency. This feature is particularly useful in eliminating beat
frequencies that may cause increased output ripple on paralleled
units. A current share pin (ISHARE) is available that permits
paralleled units to share current, typically within 5% at full load.

With regard to the range that the output voltage can be adjusted
by the user, there are two concerns. As the output voltage is
raised it may become difficult to maintain regulation at full
power and low input voltage. As the output voltage is lowered,
it may become difficult to maintain regulation at minimum
power and high input line.
Pin 5 (VAUX)
Pin 5 is referenced to the input return and provides a semiregulated 11 V to 14 V dc voltage supply for miscellaneous
system use. The maximum permissible current draw is 5 mA
and the voltage varies with the output load of the converter as
shown in Figure 20.

Pin 4 (STATUS)

Pin 4 is active high referenced to –SENSE (Pin 1), indicating
that the output voltage is typically within ± 5%. The pin is

output. Refer to the paragraphs describing Pin 3 (ADJUST) for

115°C. To raise the temperature at which shutdown occurs,
connect a resistor with the value shown in Figure 22 from Pin 9
to the input return (Pin 10). To completely disable the temperature shutdown feature, connect a 50 kΩ resistor from Pin 9
to the input return (Pin 10).

Pin 7 can be used for connecting multiple converters to a master clock. This master clock can be either an externally usersupplied clock or it can be a converter that has been modified
and designated as a master unit. Consult factory for availability
of these devices. Capacitive coupling of the clock signal will
ensure that if the master clock stops working the individual
units will continue to operate at their own internal clock frequency, thereby eliminating a potential single point failure.
Capacitive coupling will also permit a wider duty cycle to be
used. The SYNC pin has an internal pull-down so it is not
necessary to sink any current when driving the pin low. Reference

INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The steady state operating input voltage range for the converter
is defined as 18 V to 40 V. The abnormal operating input voltage range is defined as 16 V to 50 V. In accordance with MILSTD-704D, the converter can operate up to 50 V dc input for
transient conditions as long as 50 milliseconds, and it can operate down to 16 V dc input for continuous operation during
emergency conditions. Figure 3 (typical low line dropout vs.
load) shows that the converter can work continuously down to
and below 16 V dc under reduced load conditions.
The ADDC02828SA can be modified to survive, but not work
through, the upper limit input voltages defined in MIL-STD-704A
(aircraft) and MIL-STD-1275A (military vehicles). MIL-STD-704A
defines an 80 V surge that lasts for 1 second before it falls below
50 V, while MIL-STD-1275A defines a 100 V surge that lasts
for 200 milliseconds before it falls below 50 V. In both cases,
the ADDC02828SA can be modified to operate to specification
up to the 50 V input voltage limit and to shut down and protect
itself during the time the input voltage exceeds 50 V. When the
input voltage falls below 50 V as the surge ends, the converter
will automatically initiate a soft start. In order to survive these
higher input voltage surges; the modified converter, however, will
no longer have input transient protection as described below.
Contact the factory for information on units surviving high input
voltage surges.
Frequency: 1.00 MHz min
Duty cycle: 7% min, 14% max
High state voltage high level: 4 V min to 7 V max
Low state voltage low level: 0 V min to 3.0 V max
Users should note that the SYNC pin is referenced to the input
return of the converter. If the user-supplied master clock is
generated on the output side of the converter, the signal should
be isolated.
Users should be careful about the frequency selected for the
external master clock. Higher switching frequencies will reduce
efficiency and may reduce the amount of output power available at
minimum input line. Consult factory for modified standard switching frequency to accommodate system clock characteristics.
Pin 8 (ISHARE)
Pin 8 allows paralleled converters to share the total load current, typically within ± 5% at full load. To use the current share
feature, connect all current share pins to each other and connect the SENSE pins on each of the converters. The current
sharing function is sensitive to the differential voltage between the
input return pins of paralleled converters. The current sharing
function is also sensitive to noise, and care should be taken in
the routing of connections. Refer to Figure 27 for typical application circuits using paralleled converters.
Input Voltage Transient Protection: The converter has a
transient voltage suppressor connected across its input leads to
protect the unit against high voltage pulses (both positive and
negative) of short duration. With the power supply connected
in the typical system setup shown in Figure 15, a transient
voltage pulse is created across the converter in the following
manner. A 20 µF capacitor is first charged to 400 V. It is then
connected directly across the converter’s end of the two meter
power lead cable through a 2 Ω on-state resistance MOSFET.
Pin 9 (TEMP)
Pin 9 can be used to indicate case temperature or to raise or
disable the temperature at which thermal shutdown occurs.
Typically, 3.90 V corresponds to +25°C, with a +13.1 mV/°C

The duration of this connection is 10 µs. The pulse is repeated
every second for 30 minutes. This test is repeated with the
connection of the 20 µF capacitor reversed to create a negative
pulse on the supply leads. (If continuous reverse voltage protection is required, a diode can be added externally in series at the
expense of lower efficiency for the power system.)
The converter responds to this input transient voltage test by
shutting down due to its input overvoltage protection feature.
Once the pulse is over, the converter initiates a soft-start, which
is completed before the next pulse. No degradation of converter
performance occurs.
For example, at 80 W of output power and 80% efficiency, the
power dissipated in the power supply is 20 W. If, under these
conditions, the user wants to maintain NAVMAT deratings
(i.e., a case temperature of approximately 90°C) with an ambient temperature of 75°C, the required thermal resistance, case
to ambient, can be calculated as
THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS
SYSTEM INSTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Junction and Case Temperatures: It is important for the
user to know how hot the hottest semiconductor junctions
within the converter get and to understand the relationship
between junction, case and ambient temperatures. The hottest
semiconductors in the 100 W product line of Analog Devices’
high density power supplies are the switching MOSFETs and
the output rectifiers. There is an area inside the main power
transformers that is hotter than these semiconductors, but it is
within NAVMAT guidelines and well below the Curie temperature of the ferrite. (The Curie temperature is the point at which
the ferrite begins to lose its magnetic properties.)
Since NAVMAT guidelines require that the maximum junction
temperature be 110°C, the power supply manufacturer must
specify the temperature rise above the case for the hottest semiconductors so the user can determine what case temperature
is required to meet NAVMAT guidelines. The thermal characteristics section of the specification table states the hottest junction
temperature for maximum output power at a specified case
temperature. The unit can operate to higher case temperatures
than 90°C, but 90°C is the maximum temperature that permits
NAVMAT guidelines to be met.
In a distributed power supply architecture, a power source
provides power to many “point-of-load” (POL) converters. At
low frequencies, the POL converters appear incrementally as
negative resistance loads. This negative resistance could cause
system instability problems.
OBS
90 = 75 + (20 × RθCA) or RθCA = 0.75°C/W
This thermal resistance, case to ambient, will determine what
kind of heat sink and whether convection cooling or forced air
cooling is required to meet the constraints of the system.
Incremental Negative Resistance: A POL converter is designed to hold its output voltage constant no matter how its
input voltage varies. Given a constant load current, the power
drawn from the input bus is therefore also a constant. If the
input voltage increases by some factor, the input current must
decrease by the same factor to keep the power level constant.
In incremental terms, a positive incremental change in the
input voltage results in a negative incremental change in the
input current. The POL converter therefore looks, incrementally, as a negative resistor.
OLE
Case and Ambient Temperatures: It is the user’s responsibility
to properly heat sink the power supply in order to maintain the
appropriate case temperature and, in turn, the maximum junction
temperature. Maintaining the appropriate case temperature is a
function of the ambient temperature and the mechanical heat
removal system. The static relationship of these variables is
established by the following formula:
TC = T A + ( P D × Rθ

If an instability results, and it cannot be corrected by changing

LISN requirement, one possible solution is to place a capacitor
across the input of the POL converter. Another possibility is to
place a small resistor in series with this extra capacitor.

The analysis so far has assumed the source of power was a voltage source (e.g., a battery) with some source impedance. In
some cases, this source may be the output of a front-end (FE)
converter. Although each FE converter is different, a model for
a typical one would have an LC output filter driven by a voltage
source whose value was determined by the feedback loop. The
LC filter usually has a high Q, so the compensation of the
feedback loop is chosen to help dampen any oscillations that
result from load transients. In effect, the feedback loop adds
“positive resistance” to the LC network.

When the POL converter is connected to the output of this FE
converter, the POL’s “negative resistance” counteracts the
effects of the FE’s “positive resistance” offered by the feedback
loop. Depending on the specific details, this might simply mean
that the FE converter’s transient response is slightly more oscillatory, or it may cause the entire system to be unstable.
For the ADDC02828SA, LP is approximately 1 µH and CP is
approximately 4 µF. Figure 8 shows a more accurate depiction
of the input impedance of the converter as a function of frequency. The negative resistance is, itself, a very good incremental model for the power state of the converter for frequencies
into the several kHz range.
NAVMAT DERATING
NAVMAT is a Navy power supply reliability manual that is
frequently cited by specifiers of power supplies. A key section of
NAVMAT P4855-1A discusses guidelines for derating designs
and their components. The two key derating criteria are voltage
derating and power derating. Voltage derating is done to reduce
the possibility of electrical breakdown, whereas power derating
is done to maintain the component material below a specified
maximum temperature. While power deratings are typically
stated in terms of current limits (e.g., derate to x% of maximum
rating), NAVMAT also specifies a maximum junction temperature of the semiconductor devices in a power supply. The
NAVMAT component deratings applicable to the ADDC02828SA
are as follows:
Resistors
80% voltage derating
50% power derating
Capacitors
50% voltage and ripple voltage derating
70% ripple current derating
REV. 0
TE
70% continuous current derating
75% signal voltage derating
110°C maximum junction temperature
The ADDC02828SA can meet all the derating criteria listed
above. However, there are a few areas of the NAVMAT deratings
where meeting the guidelines unduly sacrifices performance of
the circuit. Therefore, the standard unit makes the following
exceptions.
Common-Mode EMI Filter Capacitors: The standard
supply uses 500 V capacitors to filter common-mode EMI.
NAVMAT guidelines would require 1000 V capacitors to meet
the 50% voltage derating (500 V dc input to output isolation),
resulting in less common-mode capacitance for the same space.
In typical electrical power supply systems, where the load
ground is eventually connected to the source ground, commonmode voltages never get near the 500 V dc rating of the standard
supply. Therefore, a lower voltage rating capacitor (500 V)
was chosen to fit more capacitance in the same space in order
to better meet the conducted emissions requirement of MILSTD-461D (CE102). For those applications requiring 250 V
or less of isolation from input to output, the present designs
would meet NAVMAT guidelines.
Switching Transistors: 100 V MOSFETs are used in the
standard unit to switch the primary side of the transformers.
Their nominal off-state voltage meets the NAVMAT derating
guidelines. When the MOSFETs are turned off, however, momentary spikes occur that reach 100 V. The present generation
of MOSFETs are rated for repetitive avalanche, a condition that
was not considered by the NAVMAT deratings. In the worst
case condition, the energy dissipated during avalanche is 1% of
the device’s rated repetitive avalanche energy. To meet the
NAVMAT derating, 200 V MOSFETs could be used. The
100 V MOSFETs are used instead for their lower on-state resistance, resulting in higher efficiency for the power supply.
NAVMAT Junction Temperatures: The two types of power
deratings (current and temperature) can be independent of one
another. For instance, a switching diode can meet its derating
–11–
ADDC02828SA
of 70% of its maximum current, but its junction temperature
can be higher than 110°C if the case temperature of the converter, which is not controlled by the manufacturer, is allowed
to go higher. Since some users may choose to operate the power
supply at a case temperature higher than 90°C, it then becomes
important to know the temperature rise of the hottest semiconductors. This is covered in the specification table in the section
entitled Thermal Characteristics.
EMI CONSIDERATIONS
The ADDC02828SA has an integral differential- and commonmode EMI filter that is designed to meet all applicable requirements in MIL-STD-461D when the power converter is installed
in a typical system setup (described below). The converter also
contains transient protection circuitry that permits the unit to
survive short, high voltage transients across its input power
leads. The purpose of this section is to describe the various
MIL-STD-461D tests and the converter’s corresponding performance. Consult factory for additional information.
OBS
ripple voltages will be smaller than if the load is grounded. The
test specifications do not state which procedure should be used.
However, in neither case (load grounded or floating) will the
typical EMI test setup described below be exactly representative
of the final system configuration EMI test. For the following
reasons, the same is true if separately packaged EMI filters are
used.
In almost all systems the output ground of the converter is ultimately connected to the input ground of the system. The parasitic capacitances and inductances in this connection will affect
the common-mode voltage and the CE102 measurement. In
addition, the inductive impedance of this ground connection
can cause resonances, thereby affecting the performance of the
common-mode filter in the power supply.
In response to these ambiguities, the Analog Devices’ converter
has been tested for CE102 under a constant load and with the
output ground floating. While these measurements are a good
indication of how the converter will operate in the final system
configuration, the user should confirm CE102 testing in the
final system configuration.
OLE
The figures and tests referenced herein were obtained from
measurements on the ADDC02805SA, a single 5 V dc output
converter. Since the construction and topology of the 28 V dc
output converter is almost identical to the 5 V dc output converter,
and the component values of the EMI differential- and commonmode filter in the 28 V dc output converter are identical to the
5 V output converter, the text references these figures and tests
as typical of the ADDC02828SA converter as well.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is governed by MIL-STD-461D,
which establishes design requirements, and MIL-STD-462D,
which defines test methods. EMI requirements are categorized
as follows (xxx designates a three digit number):
• CExxx: Conducted Emissions (EMI produced internal to the
power supply, which is conducted externally through its input
power leads)
• CSxxx: Conducted Susceptibility (EMI produced external to
the power supply, which is conducted internally through the
input power leads and may interfere with the supply’s operation)
• RExxx: Radiated Emissions (EMI produced internal to the
power supply, which is radiated into the surrounding space)
• RSxxx: Radiated Susceptibility (EMI produced external to
the power supply, which radiates into or through the power
supply and may interfere with its proper operation)
It should be noted that there are several areas of ambiguity, with
respect to CE102 measurements, that may concern the systems
engineer. One is the nature of the load. If it is constant, the
ripple voltage on the converter’s input leads is due only to the
operation of the converter. If, on the other hand, the load is
changing over time, this variation causes an additional input
current and voltage ripple to be drawn at the same frequency. If
the frequency is high enough, the converter’s filter will help
attenuate this second source of ripple, but if it is below approximately 100 kHz, it will not. The system may then not meet the
CE102 requirement, even though the converter is not the source
of the EMI. If this is the case, additional capacitance may be
needed across the load or across the input to the converter.
Another ambiguity in the CE102 measurement concerns commonmode voltage. If the load is left unconnected from the ground
plane (even though the case is grounded), the common-mode
CE101: This test measures emissions on the input leads in the
frequency range between 30 Hz and 10 kHz. The intent of this
requirement is to ensure that the dc/dc converter does not corrupt the power quality (allowable voltage distortion) on the
power buses present on the platform. There are several CE101
limit curves in MIL-STD-461D. The most stringent one applicable for the converter is that for submarine applications.
Figure 11 shows that the converter easily meets this requirement
(the return line measurement is similar). The components at
60 Hz and its harmonics are a result of ripple in the output of
the power source used to supply the converter.
TE
CE102: This test measures emissions in the frequency range
between 10 kHz and 10 MHz. The measurements are made on
both of the input leads of the converter which are connected to
the power source through LISNs. The intent of this requirement
in the lower frequency portion of the requirement is to ensure
that the dc/dc converter does not corrupt the power quality
(allowable voltage distortion) on the power buses present on the
platform. At higher frequencies, the intent is to serve as a separate control from RE102 on potential radiation from power
leads, which may couple into sensitive electronic equipment.
Figure 12 shows the CE102 limit and the measurement taken
from the +VIN line. While the measurement taken from the
input return line is slightly different, both comfortably meet the
MIL-STD-461D, CE102 limit. (Reference the last section of
EMI Considerations for how to adjust the external components
in the test setup circuit to increase the margin between the
specification limit and the measured results.)
CS101: This test measures the ability of the converter to reject
low frequency differential signals, 30 Hz to 50 kHz, injected on
the dc inputs. The measurement is taken on the output power
leads. The intent is to ensure that equipment performance is
not degraded from ripple voltages associated with allowable
distortion of power source voltage waveforms. Figure 7 shows a
typical audio susceptibility graph. Note that according to the
MIL-STD-461D test requirements, the injected signal between
30 Hz and 5 kHz has an amplitude of 2 V rms and from 5 kHz
to 50 kHz the amplitude decreases inversely with frequency to
0.2 V rms. The curve of the injected signal should be multiplied
by the audio susceptibility curve to determine the output ripple
–12–

ADDC02828SA
at any frequency. When this is done, the worst case output
ripple at the frequency of the input ripple occurs at 5 kHz, at
which point there is typically a 25 mV peak-to-peak output
ripple.
It should be noted that MIL-STD-704 has a more relaxed requirement for rejection of low frequency differential signals injected on
the dc inputs than MIL-STD-461D. MIL-STD-704 calls for a
lower amplitude ripple to be injected on the input in a narrower
frequency band, 10 Hz to 20 kHz.
CS114: This test measures the ability of the converter to operate correctly during and after being subjected to currents injected into bulk cables in the 10 kHz to 400 MHz range. Its
purpose is to simulate currents that would be developed in these
cables due to electromagnetic fields generated by antenna transmissions. The converter is designed to meet the requirements
of this test when the current is injected on the input power leads
cable. Consult factory for more information.
OBS
CS115: This test measures the ability of the converter to operate correctly during and after being subjected to 30 ns long
pulses of current injected into bulk cables. Its purpose is to
simulate transients caused by lightning or electromagnetic
pulses. The converter is designed to meet this requirement
when applied to its input power leads cable. Consult factory for
more information.
As can be seen, the emissions just meet the standard in the
18 MHz–28 MHz range. This component of the emissions is
due to common-mode currents flowing through the input power
leads. As mentioned in the section on CE102 above, the level
of common-mode current that flows is dependent on how the
load is connected. This measurement is therefore a good indication of how well the converter will perform in the final configuration, but the user should confirm RE102 testing in the
final system. (Reference the last section of EMI Considerations
for how to adjust the external components in the test setup
circuit to increase the margin between the specification limit
and the measured results.)
RS101: This requirement is specialized and is intended to check
for sensitivity to low frequency magnetic fields in the 30 Hz to
50 kHz range. The converter is designed to meet this requirement. Consult factory for more information.
RS103: This test calls for correct operation during and after the
unit under test is subjected to radiated electric fields in the 10 kHz
to 40 GHz range. The intent is to simulate electromagnetic
fields generated by antenna transmissions. The converter is
designed to meet this requirement. Consult factory for more
information.
OLE
Circuit Setup for EMI Test
TE
Figure 15 shows a schematic of the test setup used for the EMI
measurements discussed above. The output of the converter is
connected to a resistive load designed to draw full power. There
is a 0.1 µF capacitor placed across this resistor that typifies bypass capacitance normally used in this application. At the input
of the converter there are two differential capacitors (the larger
one having a series resistance) and two small common-mode
capacitors connected to case ground. The case itself was connected to the metal ground plane in the test chamber. For the
RE102 test, a metal screen box was used to cover both the converter and its load (but not the two meters of input power lead
cables). This box was also electrically connected to the metal
ground plane.
CS116: This test measures the ability of the converter to operate correctly during and after being subjected to damped sinusoid transients in the 10 kHz to 100 MHz range. Its purpose is
to simulate current and voltage waveforms that would occur
when natural resonances in the system are excited. The converter is designed to meet this requirement when applied to its
input power leads cable. Consult factory for more information.
RE101: This requirement limits the strength of the magnetic
field created by the converter in order to avoid interference with
sensitive equipment located nearby. The measurement is made
from 30 Hz to 100 kHz. The most stringent requirement is for
the Navy. Figure 13 shows the test results when the pickup coil
is held 7 cm above the converter. As can be seen, the converter
easily meets this requirement.
RE102: This requirements limits the strength of the electric
field emissions from the power converter to protect sensitive
receivers from interference. The measurement is made from
10 kHz to 18 GHz with the antenna oriented in the vertical
plane. For the 30 MHz and above range, the standard calls for
the measurement to be made with the antenna oriented in the
horizontal plane as well.
In a typical power converter system setup, the radiated emissions can come from two sources: 1) the input power leads as
they extend over the two meter distance between the LISNs and
the converter, as required for this test, and 2) the converter
output leads and load. The latter is likely to create significant
emissions if left uncovered since minimal EMI filtering is
provided at the converter’s output. It is typical, however,
that the power supply and its load would be contained in a
conductive enclosure in applications where this test is applicable.
A metal screen enclosure was therefore used to cover the converter and its load for this test.
Figure 14 shows test results for the vertical measurement and
compares them against the most stringent RE102 requirement;
the horizontal measurement (30 MHz and above) was similar.
REV. 0
With regard to the components added to the input power lines,
the 100 µF capacitor with its 1 Ω series resistance is required to
achieve system stability when the unit is powered through the
LISNs, as the MIL-STD-461D standard requires. These
LISNs have a series inductance of 50 µH at low frequencies,
giving a total differential inductance of 100 µH. As explained
earlier in the System Instability section, such a large series
source inductance will cause an instability as it interacts with the
converter’s negative incremental input resistance unless some
corrective action is taken. The 100 µF capacitor and 1 Ω resistor provide the stabilization required.
It should be noted that the values of these stabilization components
are appropriate for a single converter load. If the system makes
use of several converters, the values of the components will need
to be changed slightly, but not such that they are repeated for
every converter. It should also be noted that most system applications will not have a source inductance as large as the 100 µH
built into the LISNs. For those systems, a much smaller input
capacitor could be used.
Increasing Margin Between Specification Limit and Measured
Results
With regard to the 2 µF differential-mode capacitor and the two
82 nF common-mode capacitors, these components were included in the test setup to augment the performance of the
–13–
ADDC02828SA
power supply’s internal EMI filter. The values were chosen to
achieve the results shown in Figures 12 and 14. To increase the
margin between the specification limits and the measured emissions, larger external component values could be used.
To do this it is useful to know that most of the emissions below
10 MHz, whether conducted or radiated, are due to differentialmode currents flowing in the input power leads. To make the
emissions in this frequency range smaller, the differential
capacitor value should be increased above 2 µF. Conversely,
most of the emissions above 10 MHz are due to common-mode
currents, and to make them smaller the common-mode capacitors should be increased above the 82 nF value. In both cases it
is important to minimize the parasitic inductance of the capacitors; the use of several smaller capacitors connected in parallel is
one way to achieve this.
OBS
Using larger valued capacitors than those shown in Figure 15 is
a good solution if an additional 6 dB–10 dB of margin is desired. However, if in an extremely sensitive application it is
desired to increase the margin by 20 dB or more, it may be
better to add both differential- and common-mode inductors to
the external components to make a higher order filter.
RELIABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
MTBF = T/r
Temperature and Environmental Factors: Although the
calculation of MTBF per MIL-HDBK-217 is a detailed process,
there are two key variables that give the manufacturer significant leeway in predicting an MTBF rating. These two variables are temperature and environmental factor. Therefore, for
users to properly compare MTBF numbers from two different
manufacturers, the environmental factor and the temperature
must be identical. Contact the factory for MTBF calculations
for specific environmental factors and temperatures.
MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS
When mounting the converter into the next higher level assembly, it is important to ensure good thermal contact is made
between the converter and the external heat sink. Poor thermal
connection can result in the converter shutting off, due to the
temperature shutdown feature (Pin 9), or reduced reliability for
the converter due to higher than anticipated junction and case
temperatures. For these reasons the mounting tab locations
were selected to ensure good thermal contact is made near the

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is a commonly used
reliability concept that applies to repairable items in which
failed elements are replaced upon failure. The expression for
MTBF is
where
If we assume t = MTBF = 1,000,000 hours, then the probability
that a power supply will not fail prior to 1,000,000 hours of use
is e–1, or 36.8%. This is quite different from saying the power
supply will last 1,000,000 hours before it fails. The probability
that the power supply will not fail prior to 50,000 hours of use is
e–.05 or 95%. For t = 10,000 hours the probability of no failure
is e–.01 or 99%.
T = total operating time
r = number of failures
In lieu of actual field data, MTBF can be predicted per
MIL-HDBK-217.
MTBF, Failure Rate, and Probability of Failure: A proper
understanding of MTBF begins with its relationship to lambda
(λ), which is the failure rate. If a constant failure rate is assumed,
then MTBF = 1/λ, or λ = 1/MTBF. If a power supply has an
MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, this does not mean it will last
1,000,000 hours before it fails. Instead, the MTBF describes
the failure rate. For 1,000,000 hours MTBF, the failure rate
during any hour is 1/1,000,000, or 0.0001%. Thus, a power
supply with an MTBF of 500,000 hours would have twice the
failure rate (0.0002%) of one with 1,000,000 hours.

What users should be interested in is the probability of a power
supply not failing prior to some time t. Given the assumption of
a constant failure rate, this probability is defined as
R(t ) = e –λt
where R(t) is the probability of a device not failing prior to some
time t.
If we substitute λ = 1/MTBF in the above formula, then the
expression becomes
R(t ) = e
–t
MTBF
The pins of the converter are typically connected to the next
higher level assembly by bending them at right angles, either
down or up, and cutting them shorter for insertion in printed
circuit board through holes. In order to maintain the hermetic
integrity of the seals around the pins, a fixture should be used
for bending the pins without stressing the pin-to-sidewall seals.
It is recommended that the minimum distance between the
package edge and the inside of the pin be 100 mils (2.54 mm)
for the 40 mil (1.02 mm) diameter pins; 120 mils (3.05 mm)
from the package edge to the center of the pin as shown in
Figure 25.
This formula is the correct way to interpret the meaning of
MTBF.

2. Fault Tolerant: All outputs are capacitively coupled to ensure
that if the master clock stops working the individual units will
continue to operate at their own internal clock frequency,
thereby eliminating a potential single point failure.
