Industrial DC/DC CONVERTER MGDI-04 Wide Input : 4W POWER Industrial Grade 3:1 & 4:1 Wide Input Single, Bi & Triple Outputs Metallic Case - 1.500 VDC Isolation Plastic Case - 3.000 VDC Isolation * Low profile : 0,33'' (8.5mm) * Wide input range and high transient compliance * Nominal power of 04 W without derating * Wide temperature range : -40C/+95C * Soft start * Permanent short circuit protection * No optocoupler for high reliability 1-General * RoHS process The MGDI-04 wide input series is a full family of DC/DC power modules designed for use in distributed power architecture where variable input voltage and transient are prevalent making them ideal particularly for transportation, railways or high-end industrial applications. These modules use a high frequency fixed swiching technic at 480 KHz providing excellent reliability, low noise characteristics, high power density and low profile package. Standard models are available with wide input voltage range of 9-36, 16-40 and 36-140 volts, with high transient levels. The series include single, bi and triple output voltage choices of 3,3, 5, 12, 15, +/-5, +/-12 or +/-15 volts. No external heatsink is required for the MGDI04 series to supply 4W output power over the case temperature range of -40C up to 95C. The MGDI-04 series is designed in conformity with safety standards EN60950 and UL1950. All the modules are designed with LC network filters to minimize reflected input current ripple and output voltage ripple according to EN55022 and FCC Part 15J standard. The modules include a soft-start, a permanent short circuit protection and an output overvoltage protection to ensure efficient module protections. The soft-start allows current limitation and eliminates inrush current during start-up. The short circuit protection completely protects the modules against short-circuits of any duration by a shut-down and restores to normal when the overload is removed. The design has been carried out with surface mount components and is manufactured in a fully automated process to guarantee high quality. Each module is tested with a GAIA Converter automated test equipment. 2-Product Selection Single output model Bi output model Triple output model : MGDSI - 04 : MGDBI - 04 : MGDTI - 04 - input output input output input output Input Voltage Range Permanent Transient H : 9-36 VDC J : 16-40 VDC* Q : 36-140 VDC** 40 VDC/100 ms 45 VDC/100 ms 175 VDC/100 ms * for 45 Vdc consult ** for 154 Vdc consult / / / option option option Output B : 3.3 VDC C : 5 VDC or +/-5VDC E : 12 VDC or +/-12VDC F : 15 VDC or +/-15VDC CF : 5 VDC and +/-15 VDC factory factory Options : /Y : option for 3.000 VDC isolation /M : option for On/Off function REDEFINING THE SOURCE OF POWER (c) Gaia Converter FC97-005.01/10 Revision M For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover 5 Industrial Grade MGDI-04 Wide Input Series 2- Product Selection (continued) Input range Output Current Reference Options 9-36 9-36 9-36 9-36 9-36 9-36 9-36 VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC 3,3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC +/- 5 VDC +/- 12 VDC +/- 15 VDC 1.000 mA 800 mA 330 mA 260 mA +/- 400 mA +/- 165 mA +/- 130 mA MGDSI-04-H-B MGDSI-04-H-C MGDSI-04-H-E MGDSI-04-H-F MGDBI-04-H-C MGDBI-04-H-E MGDBI-04-H-F /M /M /M /M /M /M /M 16-40 16-40 16-40 16-40 16-40 16-40 16-40 16-40 VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC 3,3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC +/- 5 VDC +/- 12 VDC +/- 15 VDC 5 & +/-15 VDC 1.000 mA 800 mA 330 mA 260 mA +/- 400 mA +/- 165 mA +/- 130 mA 500 & +/-50 mA MGDSI-04-J-B MGDSI-04-J-C MGDSI-04-J-E MGDSI-04-J-F MGDBI-04-J-C MGDBI-04-J-E MGDBI-04-J-F MGDTI-04-J-CF /M /M /M /M /M /M /M /M 36-140 36-140 36-140 36-140 36-140 36-140 36-140 VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC 3,3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC +/- 5 VDC +/- 12 VDC +/- 15 VDC 1.000 mA 800 mA 330 mA 260 mA +/- 400 mA +/- 165 mA +/- 130 mA MGDSI-04-Q-B MGDSI-04-Q-C MGDSI-04-Q-E MGDSI-04-Q-F MGDBI-04-Q-C MGDBI-04-Q-E MGDBI-04-Q-F /Y /Y /Y /Y /Y /Y /Y Converter Selection Chart M G D S I - 04 - Q - C / Y 5 Number of Outputs : S : single output B : bi ouput T : triple output Input voltage range : H : 9-36 VDC J : 16-40 VDC* Q : 36-140 VDC** Output voltage : See table page 1 Option : /Y : 3.000 VDC isolation /M : On/Off function * for 45 Vdc consult factory ** for 154 Vdc consult factory (c) Gaia Converter FC97-005.01/10 Revision M 2 For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover MGDI-04 Wide Input Series Industrial Grade 3- Electrical Specifications Data are valid at +25C, unless otherwise specified.

It operates in hiccup mode by testing periodically if an overload is applied (typically every 200ms recovery time). The overload detection threshold is typically 200% of maximum current with a detection time lower than 5ms. Vo (%) 100 detection time x time recovery time recovery time 12-2 Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) The output overvoltage protection device protects external components against high voltage or possible overvoltages which can be supplied by the module (i.e in case of internal failure). It consists of a zener diode clamping the output voltage; under worst case conditions this zener diode will short-circuit. The output voltage protection is not designed to withstand externally applied output overvoltages to protect the module itself. 5 13- Description of Functions 13-1 Option (/M) : On/Off Function The optionnal control pin 20 (On/Off) can be used for applications requiring On/Off operation. By using an open collector command with a transistor Q referenced to the common terminal (Gi) : * A logic pulled low (<0.2V@1mA, referenced to Gi) on pin 20 disables the converter * No connection or high impedance on pin 20 enables the converter. On/Off Command GI By releasing the On/Off function, the converter will restart within the start-up time specifications given in table page 3. For further details please consult `'Logic On/Off'' application note.

VI +Vo Go GI -Vo VI Vo GI Go VI Vo GI Go VI Vo 2 x Vo 14-2 Connection of Modules in Series The output of single output units can be connected in series without any precautions to provide higher output voltage level. Nevertheless, GAIA Converter recommends to protect each individual output by a low power shottky diode rated with the maximum current of the converter to avoid reverse polarity at any output. Reverse polarity may occur at start up if the output voltages do not rise at the same time. 2 x Vo 14-3 Connection of Modules in Parallel Several converters with equal output voltage can be connected in parallel to increase power. Nevertheless some cares have to be taken in particular as the output voltage of each converter is slightly different, when paralleling, the converter with the highest output voltage will source the most current. However the GAIA Converter modules are designed with a "soft'' output voltage versus current characteristic. This causes the output voltage of each converter to automatically adjust downward as its current increases so each converter very approximately shares the total output current. It is important that each converter has approximately the same impedance between their output and the common load. Vo GI Go VI Vo GI Go 5 14-4 Safety Consideration For safety agency approval of the system in which the power module is used, the power module must be installed in compliance with requirements of the UL1950, CSA22.2-950, EN60950 standards : i.e if the output circuit operator accessible, it shall be a SELV circuit. A SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) output for a converter is a secondary circuit that under normal operation or a single fault condition cannot reach hazardous voltage (i.e Voltage above 60 VDC) between any two accessible parts or an accessible part and protective each. In the event of a single fault condition (insulation or component failure), the voltage in accessible parts of SELV circuits shall not exceed 60 VDC for longer than 0.2 sec. and an absolute limit of 120 VDC.SELV circuits must be separated from hazardous voltages (e.g primary circuits) by two levels of protection which may be double or reinforced insulation or basic insulation combined with an earthed conductive barrier. Generally DC/DC Converters are power by an input bus that comes from a front end which can be an AC/DC powered supply, a transformer, a charger or a battery. It is the sole responsability of the user to ensure compliance of the frontend with the relevant safety requiements. The following table resumes some possible installation configuration using Gaia Converter MGDI-04 wide input series.
