Industrial DC/DC CONVERTER MGDI-20 Standard Input : 20W POWER Industrial Grade 2:1 Standard Input Single, Bi & Triple Outputs Metallic case - 1.500 VDC Isolation * Nominal power up to 20 W without derating * Wide temperature range : -40C/+ 95C case * High efficiency (typ. 83%) * Soft start * Galvanic isolation 1.500 VDC * Integrated LC EMI filter * Permanent short circuit protection * No optocoupler for high reliability * RoHS process 1-General The MGDI-20 series is a complete line of DC/DC power modules designed for use in distributed power architecture and are particularly suitable for mobile or ground fixed applications in transportation, industrial and telecommunication areas. These modules use a high frequency fixed swiching technic at 480KHz providing excellent reliability, low noise characteristics and high power density. Standard models are available with standard input voltage range of 4,5-5,5 or 18-36 volts. The series include single, bi and triple output voltage choices of 3,3 , 5, 12, 15 volts. No external heatsink is required for the MGDI-20 series to supply 20W output power over the full temperature range. The MGDI-20 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, an input undervoltage lock-out, 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 - 20 : MGDBI - 20 : MGDTI - 20 - input output input output input output Input Voltage Range Output Permanent B : 3.3 VDC C : 5 VDC or +/-5VDC E : 12 VDC or +/-12VDC F : 15 VDC or +/-15VDC BE : 3,3 VDC and +/-12 VDC BF : 3,3 VDC and +/-15 VDC CE : 5 VDC and +/-12 VDC CF : 5 VDC and +/-15 VDC C : 4,5-5,5 VDC I : 18-36 VDC REDEFINING THE SOURCE OF POWER (c) Gaia Converter FC98-015.01/11 Revision K For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover 5 Industrial Grade MGDI-20 Standard Input Series 2- Product Selection (continued) Input range Output Current Reference Options 4,5-5,5 4,5-5,5 4,5-5,5 4,5-5,5 3,3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC 4A 4A 1,6 A 1,3 A MGDSI-20-C-B MGDSI-20-C-C MGDSI-20-C-E MGDSI-20-C-F / / / / 3,3 VDC 5 VDC 12 VDC 15 VDC +/- 5 VDC +/- 12 VDC +/- 15 VDC 3,3 & +/- 12 VDC 3,3 & +/- 15 VDC 5 & +/- 12 VDC 5 & +/- 15 VDC 4A 4A 1,6 A 1,3 A +/- 2A +/- 0,80 A +/- 0,65 A A & +/- 0,4 A & +/- 0,3 A & +/- 0,4 A & +/- 0,3 MGDSI-20-I-B MGDSI-20-I-C MGDSI-20-I-E MGDSI-20-I-F MGDBI-20-I-C MGDBI-20-I-E MGDBI-20-I-F MGDTI-20-I-BE MGDTI-20-I-BF MGDTI-20-I-CE MGDTI-20-I-CF / / / / / / / / / / / 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 18-36 VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC VDC 2 2 2 2 A A A A 5 Converter Selection Chart M G D S I - 20 - I - C Number of Outputs : S : single output B : bi output T : triple output Input voltage range : C : 4.5-5.5 VDC I : 18-36VDC Output voltage : See table page 1 (c) Gaia Converter FC98-015.01/11 Revision K 2 For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover MGDI-20 Standard Input Series Industrial Grade 3- Electrical Specifications Data are valid at +25C, unless otherwise specified.

The MGDI-20 series operating case temperature must not exceed 95C. The maximum ambient temperature admissible for the DC/DC converter corresponding to the maximum operating case temperature of 95C depends on the ambient airflow, the mounting/orientation, the cooling features and the power dissipated. To calculate a maximum admissible ambient temperature the following method can be used. Knowing the maximum case temparature Tcase = 95C of the module, the power used Pout and the efficiency : * determine the power dissipated by the module Pdiss that should be evacuated : - 1) Pdiss = Pout(1/ * determine the maximum ambient temperature : Ta = 95C - Rth x Pdiss where Rth is the thermal resistance from the case to ambient. The previous thermal calculation shows two areas of operation : * a normal operation area in a free natural ambient convection (grey area in this following graph), * an area with cooling features (air flow or heatsink) ensuring a maximum case temperature below the maximum operating case temperature of 95C (white area in the following graph). 5 Power (W) 100% Additionnal cooling operation area 75% Natural convection operation area 50% 25% 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Temperature (C) Full load ambient temperature without derating : 71C Maximum case temperature : 95C Maximum storage temperature : 105C (c) Gaia Converter FC98-015.01/11 Revision K 8 For locations, phone, fax, E-Mail see back cover MGDI-20 Standard Input Series Industrial Grade 10- Environmental Qualifications The modules have been subjected to the following environmental qualifications.

There is no hysteresis cycle at turn-on and turn-off. On Off UVLO Turn-on/Turn-off Vin 11-2 Output Short Circuit Protection (SCP) Vo (%) The short circuit protection device protects the module against short circuit of any duration and restores the module to normal operation when the short circuit is removed. 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 and typically 300% of maximum current for `C' input range series with a detection time lower than 5ms. 100 detection time x time recovery time recovery time 11-3 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.

VI +Vo Go GI -Vo VI Vo GI Go 2 x Vo 12-2 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 VI Vo GI Go 5 12-3 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.
