Features
AHV
28V Input, Single, Dual and Triple Output
The AHV Series of DC/DC converters are designed to
replace the AHE/ATO family of converters in applica-
tions requiring compliance to MIL-STD-704A through
E, in particular the input surge requirement of 80 volts
specified to withstand transient input voltage of 80 volts.
No input voltage or output power derating is necessary
over the full military temperature range.
These converters are packaged in an extremely rug-
ged, low profile package that meets all requirements of
MIL-STD-883 and MIL-PRF-38534. Parallel seam weld
sealing and the use of ceramic pin feedthru seals as-
sure long term hermeticity after exposure to extended
temperature cycling.
The basic circuit is a push-pull forward topology using
power MOSFET switches. The nominal switching fre-
quency is 500KHz. A unique current injection circuit
assures current balancing in the power switches. All
AHV series converters use a single stage LC input filter
to attenuate input ripple current. A low power 11.5volt
series regulator provides power to an epitaxial CMOS
custom pulse width modulator integrated circuit. This
single integrated circuit provides all PWM primary cir-
cuit functions. Power is transferred from primary to sec-
ondary through a ferrite core power transformer. An
error voltage signal is generated by comparing a highly
stable reference voltage with the converter output volt-
age and drives the PWM through a unique wideband
magnetic feedback circuit. This proprietary feedback
circuit provides an extremely wide bandwidth, high gain
control loop, with high phase margin. The feedback
control loop gain is insensitive to temperature, radia-
tion, aging, and variations in manufacturing. The trans-
fer function of the feedback circuit is a function of the
feedback transformer turns ratio which cannot change
when subjected to environmental extremes.
The CH grade is fully compliant to the require-
ments of MIL-PRF-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., el-
ement evaluation and Periodic Inspection (P.I.)
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 more limited screen-
ing are also available for use in less demanding
applications. Variations in electrical, mechanical
and screening can be accommodated. Contact
Advanced Analog for special requirements.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-
38534, these converters are available in four screen-
ing grades to satisfy a wide range of requirements.

Notes to Specifications (Single Output Models)
1. Bandwidth guaranteed by design. Tested for 20 KHz to 2 MHz.
2. Capacitive load may be any value from 0 to the maximum limit without affecting dc performance. A capacitive load in excess of the maximum limit will not disturb
loop stability but will interfere with the operation of the load fault detection circuitry, appearing as a short circuit during turn-on.
3. Parameter shall be tested as part of design characterization and after design or process changes. Thereafter shall be guaranteed to the limits specified.
4. An overload is that condition with a load in excess of the rated load but less than necessary to trigger the short circuit protection and is the condition of maximum
power dissipation.
5. Load step transition time between 2 to 10 microseconds.
6. Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where V
OUT
has returned to within
1 percent of V
OUT
at 50 percent load.
7. Input step transition time between 2 and 10 microseconds.
8. Turn on delay time measurement is for either a step application of power at input or the removal of a ground signal from the inhinbit pin (pin 2) while power is
applied to the input. Above 125
C case temperature, derate output power linearly to 0 at 135
C case.
