LAMBDA ADVANCED ANALOG INC. λλ PRELIMINARY
AME50461
Hybrid - High Reliability
EMI Filter
DESCRIPTION FEATURES
The AME Series of EMI filters have been designed to
provide full compliance with the input line reflected
ripple current requirement specified by CE03 of MIL-
STD-461C over the full military temperature range
while operating in conjunction with the corresponding
AFL series of DC/DC converters. These filters are
offered as part of a complete family of conversion
products providing single and dual output voltages
while operating from nominal +28, +50 or +270 input
line voltage. Other converters operating with a
similar switching frequency will also benefit by use of
this device.
These EMI filters are hermetically packaged in two
enclosure variations, utilizing copper-core pins to
minimize resistive DC losses. Three lead styles are
available, each fabricated with Lambda Advanced
Analog's rugged ceramic lead-to-package seal
assuring long term hermetic seal integrity in harsh
environments.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-
38534, these converters are available in four
screening grades to satisfy a wide range of
applications. The CH grade is fully compliant to the
requirements of MIL-PRF-38534 for class H. The HB
grade is fully processed and screened to the class H
requirement, but does not include element evaluation
to the class H requirement. Both grades are tested to
meet the complete group "A" test specification over
the full military temperature range with no derating.
Two grades with more limited screening are also
available for use in less demanding applications.
Variations in electrical, mechanical and screen
requirements can be accommodated. Contact
Lambda Advanced Analog for special requirements.

Circuit Operation and Application Information
The AME series of filters employ three stages of
filtering in a low pass configuration designed to
attenuate the higher frequency components of ripple
currents generated by high frequency switching
DC/DC converters. Figure I. describes the general
arrangement of the principal elements which have
been connected to provide both differential and
normal mode buffering between the input and output
terminals.
Employing only passive elements, AME filter
operation is initiated simply by insertion into the input
power path between one or more DC/DC converters
and their input DC voltage bus. In this connection,
output pins of the filter will be connected to input pins
of the converters.
When a single AME filter is used in conjunction with
multiple DC/DC converters, the use will be limited to
the maximum output current capability specified in
the AME electrical table.1 A typical connection
utilizing one filter to drive two converters is illustrated
on Sheet 1.
Although expressly designed to complement the AFL
series of DC/DC converters, the AME50461 filters can
be successfully operated in conjunction with other
converters in the Lambda Advanced Analog line
including the ASA, AHF, AHV and ATR series.
1 To calculate the input current (iin) requirement of any one
converter, first determine the maximum output power by
multiplying output voltage by maximum load current, divide
this power by the efficiency to obtain input power and then
divide input power by input voltage to obtain the input
current (iin). Note that to obtain worst case input current,
you must use maximum load current, minimum efficiency
and minimum line voltage in this calculation.
