The advanced feedback design provides fast loop re-
sponse for superior line and load transient character-
istics and offers greater reliability and radiation toler-
ance than devices incorporating optical elements in
the feedback circuits.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-
38534, these converters are available in four screen-
ing gr ades to satisfy a wide range of requirements. The
CH grade is fully compliant to the requirements of MIL-
PRF-38534 for class H. The HB grade is processed
and screened to the class H requirement, but does not
incorporate the element evaluation and Periodic In-
spection (PI) requirements of MIL-PRF-38534. Both
grades are tested to meet the complete group “A” test
specification over the full military temperature range
without output pow er der ation. Two grades with a more
limited screening process are also available for use in
less demanding applications. Variations in electrical,
mechanical and screening can be accommodated.
Contact Advanced Analog for special requirements.
n MIL-PRF-38534 Compliant Versions
Available
Three standard temperature grades are offered. Refer
to P a rt Number section. These devices are provided in
a flanged package for secure mounting in severe envi-
ronments.
The ATW28XXS Series of DC/DC converters feature
high power density and an extended temperature range
for use in military and industrial applications. Designed
to MIL-STD-704 input requirements, these devices op-
erate with a nominal 28 VDC input and are available
with single outputs at 5V,12V and 15V. The circuit de-
sign incorporates a pulse width modulated push-pull
topology operating in the feed-forward mode at a nomi-
nal switching frequency of 270KHz. Input to output
isolation is achieved through the use of transformers in
the forward and feedback circuits.

ATW28XXS Series
Connecting the inhibit input (Pin 2) to input common (Pin 10)
will cause the converter to shut down. It is recommended
that the inhibit pin be driven by an open collector device
capable of sinking at least 400µA of current. The open cir-
cuit voltage of the inhibit input is 11.5 ±1 VDC.
A TW28XXS Block Diagram
Application Information
Inhibit Function
EMI Filter
An optional EMI filter (AFC461) will reduce the input ripple
current to levels below the limits imposed by MIL-STD-461
CEO3.
Device Synchronization
To take advantage of this capability, the system designer
must assign one of the converters as the master. Then,
by definition, the remaining converters become slaves
and will operate at the masters’ switching frequency.
The user should be aware that the synchronization sys-
tem is fail-safe; that is, the slaves will continue operating
should the master frequency be interrupted for any rea-
son. The layout must be such that the synchronization
output (pin 8) of the master device is connected to the
synchronization input (pin 8) of each slave device. It is
advisable to keep this run short to minimize the possibil-
ity of radiating the 250KHz switching frequency.
The appropriate parts must be ordered to utilize this fea-
ture. After selecting the converters required for the sys-
tem, a ‘MSTR’ suffix is added for the master converter
part number and a ‘SLV’ suffix is added for slave part
number. See Part Number section.
Typical Synchronization Connection
Remote Sense (ATW2805S only)
Better than 0.1% line and load regulation (case tempera-
ture constant) are typical when the remote sense leads are
used. If the remote sense leads are left unconnected, then
the output voltage (measured at pins 4 and 5) will rise to
approximately 5.4 VDC. If the remote sense leads are
shorted together, the output voltage may rise above 10 VDC
depending on load, possibly damaging both the converter
and load.
Whenever multiple DC/DC converters are utilized in a single
system, significant low frequency noise may be generated
due to the sight differences in the switching frequencies of
the converters (beat frequency noise). Because of the low
frequency nature of this noise (typically less than 10KHz), it
is difficult to filter out and may interfere with proper operation
of sensitive systems (communications, radar or telemetry).
Advanced Analog offers an option, which provides synchro-
nization of multiple AHE/ATW type converters, thus elimi-
nating this type of noise.
