Output

The GAIA Converter limitor LGDS-100 is an ultra

compact power adaptator module designed to

allow operation during voltage transients and

spikes, occuring in avionics or military systems.

The LGDS-100 delivers an output voltage adapted

to GAIA Converter DC/DC modules. This module

is optimized to provide high power efficiency up

to 98%.

The LGDS-100 features 3 modes of operations

as follow:

• Normal operation :

Normal operation occurs in between the per-

manent input voltage of the DC/DC converter;

The LGDS-100 is then operating in steady

transparency state.

• Power fail operation :

The power fail operation occurs when the

input bus drops below 9 Vdc low voltage

limit ; an undervoltage lock-out stops the

LGDS-100.

Transient

P : 202V/350ms

• Transient operation :

The LGDS-100 clamps input transient up

to 202V/350ms, or 101V/400ms.

The LGDS-100 series is compliant with the inter-

national input bus standards :

- DEF-STAN-61-5 Part 6 Issue 6

- MIL-STD-1275A/B/C/D

- MIL-STD-704A/D/E/F

- AECMA EN2282

- GAM-EG13B/AIR2021E

- DO160E cat A, B and Z

The design has been carried out with

surface mount components and is manufactured

in a fully automated process to guarranty high

quality. Every module is tested with a Gaïa

Converter automated test equipment. The mo-

dules are potted with a bi-component thermal

conductive compound and packaged in a metallic

case to ensure the module’s integrity under

severe environmental conditions.

3-1 LGDS-100 Modes of Operation

The LGDS-100-P-K operates with H input family of GAIA

Converter DC/DC Converters.

The LGDS-100-P-K features 3 modes of operations as

described in the following state diagram :

• Normal operation :

Normal operation occurs in between 9V and 42V input

voltage; the module is then operating in steady

transparency state.

• Power fail operation :

When a failure occurs such as an undervoltage, an

over current or an over temperature, the LGDS-100

turns to power fail mode and stops operation until

the failure is removed. The LGDS-100 features 3 pro-

tection functions : input undervoltage lockout (UVLO),

output over current protection (OCP) and over

temperature protection (OTP).

• Transient operation :

When a surge occurs, the LGDS-100 turns to transient

mode operation. It clamps input transient up to 202V

as long as 350ms and 101V during 400ms .

During this transient mode, the over current protec-

tion (OCP) is activated in order to prevent applica-

tions failure.

Maximum storage temperature : 125˚C

The LGDS-100 series operating case temperature at full load must not exceed 105°C. The maximum ambient temperature

admissible for the DC/DC converter corresponding to the maximum operating case temperature of 105°C depends on the

ambient airflow, the mounting/orientation, the cooling features and the power dissipated.

To calculate a maximum admissible ambient temperature the following method can be used. Knowing the maximum case

temparature Tcase = 105°C of the module, the power used Pout and the efficiency η :

• determine the power dissipated by the module Pdiss that should be evacuated :

Pdiss = Pout(1/ηη

ηη

η - 1)

• determine the maximum ambient temperature :

Ta = 105°C - Rth x Pdiss

where Rth is the thermal resistance from the case to ambient.

The previous thermal calculation shows two areas of operation :

• a normal operation area in a free natural ambient convection (grey area in the following graph),

• an area with cooling features (air flow or heatsink) ensuring a maximum case temperature below the maximum

operating case temperature of 105°C at full load (white area in the following graph).

11- Description of Protections

11-1 Output Over Current Protection (OCP)

The LGDS-100 provides a circuit breaker function that latches

the output off if the load current exceeds the current limit

threshold for a duration. The circuit breaker function

automatically attempts to restart power after a load current

fault at a low duty cycle to prevent the LGDS-100 from

overheating. The over current protection function protects

the module against over load of any duration and restores

the module to normal operation when the over load is

removed. It operates in «hiccup» mode by testing

periodically if an overload is applied (typically every 1s

recovery time). The overload detection threshold is typically

19A with a detection time lower than 5ms.

11-2 Inrush Current Limitation

The inrush current limitation function operates by limiting

the output voltage ramp up. It is internally set at 5V/ms

typically. The inrush current is calculated as follow.

inrush

out

where :

• Cout is the capacitor value connected to the output

•

out

= 5V/ms

By adding a capacitor connected across the pins «Drive» &

«Gi», and in order to reduce the inrush current the value

out

can be adjusted as follow :

11-3 Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

A thermal protection device adjusted at 120°C (+/-5%)

internal temperature with a 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.

12-1 Reverse Polarity Compatibility

The LGDS-100 has been designed to be compliant with reverse polarity requirements. The reverse polarity protection can

be externally achieved either by a standard solution using a schottky diode or either a low losses solution using a N

channel power MOSFET. The following figures are showing both solutions.

12-3 Typical Architecture Schematics Using LGDS-100 with Multiple Modules

The LGDS-100 is compliant for use with several DC/DC GAIA converter modules in various configurations.

To meet MIL-STD-461D/E/F, DO-160D/E/F requirements, GAIA Converter recommends the use of ready-to-use EMI filter

together with it’s R*C* cell (see EMI filter datasheet for details).

For stability purpose GAIA Converter recommends the use of a 220µF/50V capacitor after the LGDS-100.
