DESCRIPTION
No derating in output power is required, making them suitable for use in rugged military applications. Designed for nominal 28Vdc inputs, this family of converters will meet the requirements of MIL-STD-704D. The basic circuit utilizes a pulse width modulated, feed-forward topology at a nominal switching frequency of 550KHz. Input to output isolation is achieved through the use of transformers in the forward and feedback circuits. The proprietary magnetic feedback circuit provides for an extremely wide bandwidth control loop with a high phase margin. The closed loop frequency response of this converter family extends to approximately 50kHz, resulting in superior line and load transient characteristics. This feedback method is also inherently temperature and radiation insensitive. This gives the AHF Series an important advantage over converters that incorporate opto-couplers in their design. Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-38534, these converters are fabricated utilizing DLA qualified process.
