DESCRIPTION
The QCH28512T/RCH28512T series of DC-DC converters provides the ruggedness, reliability and features required to meet the advanced challenges of today's hi-rel
market. This family of converters uses all surface-mounted
hybrid components including magnetics, all ceramic capacitors and ultrasonic wirebonds to give long life in full temperature range and high acceleration environments. There is no
power derating anywhere in the –55°C to 125°C operating
range.
This product family is tolerant of many types of faults
including load short, load overload, loss of voltage feedback,
large forward and reverse voltages applied to the synchronization pin and input overvoltage. This converter family will
operate during input transients to 80 volts. The output voltages
have little overshoot during the input voltage transient such
that typical logic and linear parts on the outputs will stay well
within data sheet absolute maximums.
Other operational features include low duty factor current
limit and dynamic current limit threshold. The current limit
operates in a cyclic on-off mode with an on time of about 2
milliseconds and an off time of 20 milliseconds for a duty factor
of about 10 percent. This limits the converter dissipation to
about 1 watt, so there is no danger of overheating during an
output fault at 125° C. The dynamic current limit threshold
allows over 50 percent more current to flow for a short time
after power application, release from shutdown or recovery
from previous current limit allowing large load capacitances to
be charged during turn-on.
This converter family is a push-pull 400 kHz forward converter with full isolation between the input side, output side and
case. This isolation is achieved without optocouplers for an
even greater margin of reliability. The converter is housed in
a power DIP package and is hermetically sealed. The
RCH28512T has tabs for bolting the device down.
