Features
ATW
28V Input, Single Output
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.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-
38534, these converters are fabricated utilizing DSCC
qualified processes. For available screening options,
refer to device screening table in the data sheet.
Variations in electrical, mechanical and screening can
be accommodated. Contact IR Santa Clara for special
requirements.
Three standard temperature grades are offered. Refer
to Part Number section. These devices are provided in
a flanged package for secure mounting in severe
environments.
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
operate with a nominal 28VDC input and are available
with single outputs at 5V,12V and 15V. 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.

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
circuit voltage of the inhibit input is 11.5 ±1.0VDC.
Block Diagram
Application Information
Inhibit Function (Enable)
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
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 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 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 Part Number section.
Typical Synchronization Connection
Remote Sense (ATW2805S only)
Better than 0.1% line and load regulation (case temperature
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 5.4VDC. If the remote sense leads are shorted
together, the output voltage may rise above 10VDC
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).
International Rectifier offers an option, which provides
synchronization of multiple AHE/ATW type converters, thus
eliminating this type of noise.
