HYBRID-HIGH RELIABILITY
DC-DC CONVERTER
AHF28XX SERIES
Description
Features
AHF
28V Input, Single and Dual Output
The proprietary magnetic feedback circuit provides for
an extremely wide bandwidth control loop with a high
phase margin. The closed loop frequency response of
this converter family extends to approximately 50KHz,
resulting in superior line and load transient characteristics.
This feedback method is also inherently temperature
and radiation insensitive. This gives the AHF Series
an important advantage over converters that incorporate
opto-couplers in their design.
The AHF Series of DC-DC converters feature single or
dual outputs over the full military temperature range.
No derating in output power is required, making them
suitable for use in rugged military applications. The
low profile, small outline package is ideally suited to
the tight board space requirements of many industrial
and aerospace applications. Designed for nominal
28Vdc inputs, this family of converters will meet the
requirements of MIL-STD-704D. The basic circuit
utilizes a pulse width modulated, feed-forward topology
at a nominal switching frequency of 550KHz. Input to
output isolation is achieved through the use of
transformers in the forward and feedback circuits.
Extensive computer simulation using complex modeling
enables rapid design modification to be provided.
