Load, Line & Temperature Regulation
(CEB):
Prime Output ±2% of output voltage.
Auxiliary Outputs ±2% of output voltage.
Noise and Ripple(PARD):
Measured over bandwidth DC-20MHz Prime Output
±2% of output voltage.
Auxiliary Outputs ±2% of output voltage.
Total Effect Band (TEB):
Total combination of CEB + PARD + drift and warm-up.
Prime Output ±5% of output voltage.
Auxiliary Outputs ±5% of output voltage.
Cross Regulation:
Prime Output ±2% of output voltage.
Auxiliary Outputs ±2% of output voltage.
Dynamic Load Regulation:
Maximum transient over or undershoot of 5% of nominal
output voltage for a 50% step load change in 20µs.
Recovery within 1ms.
Dynamic Line Regulation:
Maximum transient over or undershoot of 5% of nominal
output voltage with recovery within 1ms for all line
transients and surges defined in Input Power
Characteristics above.
Minimum Load Conditions:
For full specified performance.
Prime Output 10% of maximum current.
Auxiliary outputs 10% of maximum current.
Output Protection:
Individual outputs are protected against indefinite
overload and short circuit. Current limiting circuitr y
operates at 110 - 130% of full rated current. Output
voltages recover automatically following removal of
overload.
Remote Sense:
Fitted as standard on the prime output only.
Output Overvoltage Protection:
All outputs are protected by means of zener diode clamps.
These limit the output voltage to 120%, typically, of the
nominal value.
Soft Start:
Under all conditions the converters start up in an or derly
fashion. Rise time of supplies is less than 10ms.
Synchronisation:
These modules can be synchronised to an external sour ce
or to other modules in the Powermite range.
(Synchronisation frequency = 400kHz ±5%).
PM SERIES Specification
Undervoltage Lockout:
To protect internal circuits against low input voltages, the
converters will not operate below an input of 13V dc.
Remote Shutdown:
Connecting the shutdown terminal to a voltage of (±0.4V)
with respect to the output return terminal, will cause the
unit to shutdown. Leaving the terminal open
circuit or connecting it to a logic high signal (3V to 5.5V)
will allow the unit to operate.
Hold Up:
Pins are provided which permit the connection of an
external hold-up capacitor.
EMI:
The units are designed to meet the following
requirements of MIL-STD-461C, Part 2, category A1b :-

Nuclear Hardening:
The circuitry of all Powermite converters is designed to
limit the effects of nuclear radiation.
Maintainability:
Units are constructed in a non-hermetically sealed two
part housing. Internal circuitry is protected by means of
conformal coating. All Powermite modules are repairable.
MTBF:
The MTBF for any unit in the Powermite range, calculated
in accordance with MIL-HDBK-217, can be provided upon
request.
HI-REL versions with active components screened to
JANTX, MIL-STD-883 or similar are available.
Shelf Life:
The shelf life of the units is ten years, they may be left in
deep store, without the need for intermittent powering-up
or any form of servicing for the period of the shelf life.
Burn In:
All units are subjected to an environmental stress
screening programme. For standard versions this consists
of a 48 hour bake at 85˚C baseplate temperature. High
reliability versions are subjected to 10 minutes of random
vibration followed by 48 hours of power and temperature
cycling between -55˚C and +85˚C, with full load applied.
