These modules use a patented fixed switching topology at 420 KHz providing ultra wide input range, low noise characteristics and high power density. Standard models are available with ultra wide input voltage range of 9-45, 16-80 volts. The series include single output voltage choices of 3,3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28 volts. The MGDM-150 low input voltage series include synchronization load sharing, trim and sense 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. All the modules are designed with LC network filters to minimize reflected input current ripple and output voltage ripple. The modules have totally independant security functions including input undervoltage and overvoltage lock-out, output overvoltage protection, output current limitation protection, and temperature protection. Additionnally a soft-start function allows current limitation and eliminates inrush current during start-up. The design has been carried out with surface mount components, planar transformer and is manufactured in a fully automated process to guarantee high quality. The modules are potted with a bi-component thermal conductive compound and used an insulated metallic substrate to ensure optimum power dissipation under harsh environmental conditions. 2-Product Selection Single output model : MGDS-150- (/T) and/or (/S) (/T) : option for -55°C start up operating temperature (/S) : option for screening and serialization Input Voltage Range Permanent H : 9-45 VDC O : 16-80 VDC Output B C E F I J : : : : : : REDEFINING THE SOURCE OF POWER © Gaia Converter FC02-009.08/06 Revision N For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover 3.3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC 24 VDC 28 VDC 4 Hi-Rel Grade MGDM-150 Low Input Series 2- Product Selection (continued) Input range Output Current Reference Options 9-45 9-45 9-45 9-45 9-45 9-45 VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC 3.3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC 24 VDC 28 VDC 30 A 25 A 12,5 A 10 A 6,25 A 5,35 A MGDS-150-H-B MGDS-150-H-C MGDS-150-H-E MGDS-150-H-F MGDS-150-H-I MGDS-150-H-J /T /T /T /T /T /T , , , , , , /S /S /S /S /S /S 16-80 16-80 16-80 16-80 16-80 16-80 VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC 3.3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC 24 VDC 28 VDC 30 A 30 A 12,5 A 10 A 6,25 A 5,35 A MGDS-150-O-B MGDS-150-O-C MGDS-150-O-E MGDS-150-O-F MGDS-150-O-I MGDS-150-O-J /T /T /T /T /T /T , , , , , , /S /S /S /S /S /S 4 Converter Selection Chart M G D S - 150 - O - E / T Number of Outputs : S : single output Input voltage range : H : 9-45 VDC O : 16-80 VDC Output voltage : See table page 1 Option : (/T) : -55°C start up (/S) : screening and serialization (consult application note «screening grades») © Gaia Converter FC02-009.08/06 Revision N 2 For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover MGDM-150 Low Input Series Hi-Rel Grade 3- Block Diagram The MGDM-150 low input series DC/DC converter is based on a constant 420KHz pulse-width modulated forward topology designed for ultra large input range. As this auxilliary power is independent from the main power supply, the module features an extreme wide trim windows from 10% to 110% of the nominal output voltage. The output voltage is monitored on the secondary side avoiding the use of optocoupler to optimize long-term reliability and provide good immunity against radiations. The main power transformer designed for more than 150W power is a multi-layer planar transformer which allows 100% reproductibility for optized module efficiencies. An auxilliary supply is implemented to feed independently all security functions such as the input undervoltage lock-out (UVLO), overvoltage lock-out (OVLO), the output overload protection (OCP), the output overvoltage protection (OVP) and the thermal protection (OTP). The controlled feedback regulation is located at the secondary side allowing a high regulation bandwidth and a very fast response to load changes. 4 © Gaia Converter FC02-009.08/06 Revision N 3 For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover Hi-Rel Grade MGDM-150 Low Input Series 4- Electrical Specifications Data are valid at +25°C, unless otherwise specified.

The MGDM-150 low input series maximum baseplate temperature at full load must not exceed 105°C. Heat can be removed from the baseplate via three basic mechanisms : • Radiation transfert : radiation is counting for less than 5% of total heat transfert in majority of case, for this reason the presence of radient cooling is used as a safety margin and is not considered. To calculate a maximum admissible ambient temperature the following method can be used. Knowing the maximum baseplate temparature Tbase = 105°C of the module, the power used Pout and the efficiency h: • determine the power dissipated by the module Pdiss that should be evacuated : h - 1) (A) Pdiss = Pout(1/h • determine the maximum ambient temperature : Ta = 105°C - Rth(b-a) x Pdiss (B) • Conduction transfert : in most of the applications, heat will be conducted from the baseplate into an attached heatsink or heat conducting member; heat is conducted thruthe interface. • Convection transfert : convecting heat t r a n s f e r into air refers to still air or forced air cooling. In majority of the applications, heat will be removed from the baseplate either with : • heatsink, • forced air cooling, • both heatsink and forced air cooling. where Rth(b-a) is the thermal resistance from the baseplate to ambient. This thermal Rth(b-a) resistance is the summ of : • the thermal resistance of baseplate to heatsink (Rth(b-h)). The interface between baseplate and heatsink can be nothing or a conducting member, a thermal compound, a thermal pad.... The value of Rth(b-h) can range from 0.4°C/W for no interface down to 0.1°C/W for a thermal conductive member interface. • the thermal resistance of heatsink to ambient air (Rth(h-a)), which is depending of air flow and given by heatsink supplier. 4 The table hereafter gives some example of thermal resistance for different heat transfert configurations.

On 12-1-2 Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO) An overvoltage protection will inhibit the module when input voltage reaches the overvoltage lockout turn-off threshold (see section 4 for value) and restores to normal operation automatically when the input voltage drops below the overvoltage Lockout turn on threshold. 12-2 Output Over Current Protection (OCP) Off UVLO UVLO Turn-off Turn-on OVLO OVLO Turn-on Turn-off Vin Vout The MGDM-150 low input series incorporates a foldback current limit and protection circuit. When the output current reaches 110% of it’s full-rated current (Icurrent limit), the output voltage falls and output current falls along the foldback line as described in the figure herein. The module restart automatically to normal operation when overcurrent is removed. Icurrent limit 110% of full rated current 12-3 Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) 4 Iout Each circuit has an internal overvoltage protection circuit that monitors the voltage accross the output power terminals. It is designed to latch the converter off at 115% to 135% of output voltage. Once in OVP protection, the module will restart with the On/ Off function or with the input bus restart. 12-4 Over Temperature Protection (OTP) A thermal protection device adjusted at 115°C (+/-5%) internal temperature with 10°C hysteresis cycle will inhibit the module as long as the overheat is present and restores to normal operation automatically when overheat is removed. The efficiency of the OTP function is warranty with the module mounted on a heatsink.

Sense connections enable to compensate the line drop at a maximum of +/-10% of output voltage. The overvoltage protection will be activated and module will shut down if remote sense tries to boost output voltage above 110% of nominal output voltage.

This may be done with an open collector transistor, a switch, a relay or an optocoupler. Several converters may be disabled with a single switch by connecting all On/Off pins together. • The converter is disabled by pulling low the pin 4. • No connection or high impedance on pin 4 enables the converter. By releasing the On/Off function, the converter will restart within the start up time specifications given in table section 4.

If several converters are used, they lock themselves into the highest switching frequency. The synchronization signal available on pin 2 is referenced to ground in (Gi) and the signal shape is the double of the switching frequency (i.e 2x420KHz). It is a rectangular signal with 3.5 Vp (+/-0.5V) amplitude with an impedance of 4,7 KOhm on low level. 5 Vin Vo 6 4 S+ 7 On/Off 3 Share MGDM150 2 Sync 1 Gin Trim 8 S- 9 Go 10 BP 10nF 10nF (*) 10nF 10nF BP 5 Vin 4 On/Off 3 Share On/Off MGDM150 2 Sync 1 Vo 6 S+ 7 Trim 8 S- Gin Go BP 10nF 9 10 10nF (*) BP: Base Plate 14-2 Connection of Modules in Series The output of single output units can be connected in series without any precautions to provide higher output voltage level. Nevertheless, GAIA Converter recommends to protect each individual output by a low power shottky diode rated with the maximum current of the converter to avoid reverse polarity at any output. Reverse polarity may occur at start up if the output voltages do not rise at the same time. 10nF 10nF 5 Vin 4 100µF BP Vo S+ On/Off 3 Share MGDM150 2 Sync 1 7 Trim 8 S- Gin 6 Go 9 10 BP 10nF 4 10nF (*) 10nF 10nF 5 Vin 4 BP Vo 6 S+ 7 On/Off 100µF 3 Share MGDM150 2 Sync 1 Trim 8 S- Gin Go BP 10nF 9 10 10nF (*) BP: Base Plate 14-3 Connection of Modules in Parallel 5 The MGDM-150 low input series features a «parallel operation function» to increase the output power capability of a single unit by connecting the outputs of 2 or more converters in parallel. By connecting the «Share» pin of each module together, the units will share the load current equally within a few percent. Up to 5 converters can be parallelized. The «Share» signal is a DC voltage which varies between 0Vdc and 5Vdc referenced to «Sense -» and depending on the output load. 10nF 10nF 4 100µF BP Vin Vo S+ On/Off 3 Share MGDM150 2 Sync 1 Go BP 10nF 7 Trim 8 S- Gin 6 9 10 10nF (*) 10nF 10nF 5 Vin 4 BP Vo 6 S+ On/Off 7 100µF 3 Share MGDM150 2 Sync 1 10nF Trim 8 S- Gin Go BP 9 10 10nF (*) BP: Base Plate © Gaia Converter FC02-009.08/06 Revision N 15 For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover MGDM-150 Low Input Series Hi-Rel Grade 15- Dimensions Dimensions are given in mm (inches).
