Features
AMA
28V Input, Dual Output
The AMD28XXD series of DC/DC converter modules
has been specifically designed for operation in moder-
ate radiation environments supplementing the higher
radiation performance available in the Advanced Ana-
log ART2815T converter series. Environments pre-
sented to space vehicles operating in low earth orbits,
launch boosters, orbiting space stations and similar
applications requiring a low power, high performance
converter with moderate radiation hardness perfor-
mance will be optimally served by the AMA28XXD Se-
ries.
The AMA28XXD has been designed for high density
using chip and wire hybrid technology that complies
with the class H requirements of MIL-PRF-38534. Fin-
ished product will be fabricated in a facility fully quali-
fied to MIL-PRF-38534. The standard processing
adopted for the AMA28XXD is an enhancement of the
requirements of MIL-PRF-38534 for class H and in-
cludes element evaluation. Applicable generic lot quali-
fication test data including radiation performance can
be made available on request. Variations to the stan-
dard screening can be accomodated. Consult Ad-
vanced Analog for special requirements.
AMA28XXD SERIES
PD - 94692
The physical configuration of the AMA28XXD series
permits mounting directly to a heat conduction surface
without the necessity of signal leads penetrating the
heat sink surface. This package configuration permits
greater independence in mounting and more mechani-
cal security than traditional packages. Advanced
Analog's rugged ceramic seal pins are used exclusively
in the package thereby assuring long term hermeticity.

Notes to Specifications
1.
Applicable to positive and negative outputs.
2.
Maximum combined output is 5 watts. 4 watts (max.) is available from either output (80%).
3.
Load current split equally between +V
OUT
and V
OUT
.
4.
1.0 watt load on output under test, 1.0 watt to 4.0 watt load change on other output.
5.
Capacitive value may be any value from 0 to the maximum limit without compromising DC performance. A
capacitive load in excess of the maximum limit will not disturb loop stability but may interfere with the
operation of the load fault detection circuitry, appearing as a short circuit during turn-on.
6.
Parameter shall be tested as part of design characterization and after design or process changes.
Thereafter, parameters shall be guaranteed to the limit specified.
7.
Load step transition time between 2 and 10 microseconds.
8.
Recovery time is measured from initiation of the transient to where V
out
has returned to within
1% of V
out
at
50% load.
9.
Input step transient time between 1 and 10 microseconds.
10. Turn-on delay time measurement is for either a step application of power at the input or the removal of a
ground signal from the inhibit pin while power is applied to the input.

Application Information
Inhibit Function
Connecting the enable input (Pin 5) to input common
(Pin 7) will cause the converter to shut down. It is
recommended that the enable pin be driven by an
open collector device capable of sinking at least 400
A of current. The open circuit voltage of the inhibit
input is 10.0 +1 V
DC
.
An optional EMI filter is available (ASF461 or AFH461)
will reduce the input ripple current to levels below the
limits imposed by MIL-STD-461 CE03.

Thermal Considerations
Irrespective of the fact that the AMA28XXD series
of converters are relatively low power devices and
are designed to provide efficient voltage conver-
sion, there will be some heat generated during nor-
mal operation. To avoid a continuous thermal rise
that may eventually exceed the maximum case tem-
perature rating and to maintain a safe operating
environment for the internal components, these
converters should be attached to a heat conduct-
ing surface allowing a continuous flow of the heat
away from the base plate. This becomes more im-
portant when operating in the near vacuum envi-
ronment of space which provides no alternate heat
radiating path.
