ADVANCED ANALOG
HYBRID-HIGH RELIABILITY
DC/DC CONVERTERS
Description
The ATW28XXD 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 operate with a nominal 28 VDC inputs with ±12V and ±15V
dual outputs to satisfy a wide range of requirements.
The circuit design incorporates a pulse width modulated push-pull topology operating in the feed-forward
mode at a nominal switching frequency of 270KHz. Input
to output isolation is achieved through the use of transformers in the forward and feedback circuits.
The advanced feedback design provides fast loop response for superior line and load transient characteristics and offers greater reliability and radiation tolerance than devices incorporating optical elements in
the feedback circuits.
Three standard temperature grades are offered. Refer
to Part Number section for more severe environments.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF38534, these converters are available in four screening grades to satisfy a wide range of requirements. The
CH grade is fully compliant to the requirements of MILPRF-38534 for class H. The HB grade is processed
and screened to the class H requirement, but may not
necessarily meet all of the other MIL-PRF-38534 requirements, e.g., element evaluation and Periodic Inspection (PI) not required. Both grades are tested to
meet the complete group “A” test specification over the
full military temperature range without output power
deration. Two grades with a more limited screening
are also available for use in less demanding applications. Variations in electr ical, mechanical and screening can be accommodated. Contact Advanced Analog
for special requirements.

Application Information
Inhibit Function
Connecting the inhibit input (Pin 8) 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 circuit voltage of the inhibit input is 11.5 ±1 VDC.
EMI Filter
An optional external EMI filter (AFC461) is available that will
reduce the input ripple current to levels below the limits
imposed by MIL-STD-461B CEO3.
Device Synchronization
Whenever multiple DC/DC converters are utilized in a single
system, significant low frequency noise may be generated
due to the slight 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 allows synchronization of multiple AHE/ATW type converters , thus eliminating this type of noise.
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.

-Vout

Err o r A mp
& R e fe r e n ce
The user should be aware that the synchronization system is fail-safe; that is, the slaves will continue operating
should the master frequency be interrupted for any reason. The layout must be such that the synchronization
output (pin 2) of the master device is connected to the
synchronization input (pin 2) of each slave device. It is
advisable to keep this run short to minimize the possibility of radiating the 250KHz switching frequency.
The appropriate parts must be ordered to utilize this feature. After selecting the converters required for the system, a ‘MSTR’ suffix is added for the master converter
part number and a ‘SLV’ suffix is added for slave part
number. See Par t Number section.
