DESCRIPTION
The DCP02 series is a family of 2W, unregulated, isolated
DC/DC converters. Requiring a minimum of external com-
ponents and including on-chip device protection, the DCP02
series provides extra features such as output disable and
synchronization of switching frequencies.
The use of a highly integrated package design results in highly
reliable products with power densitiesof 79W/in
3
(4.8W/cm
3
)
for DIP-14, and 106W/in
3
(6.5W/cm
3
) for SO-28. This com-
bination of features and small size makes the DCP02 suitable
for a wide range of applications.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instru-
ments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degrada-
tion to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
The DCP02 offers up to 2W of unregulated output power
from a 5V, 12V, 15V, or 24V input source with a typical
efficiency of up to 89%. This is achieved through highly
integrated packaging technology and the implementation of
a custom power stage and control IC. The circuit design
utilizes an advanced BiCMOS/DMOS process.
POWER STAGE
This uses a push-pull, center-tapped topology switching at
400kHz (divide by 2 from 800kHz oscillator).
OSCILLATOR AND WATCHDOG
The onboard 800kHz oscillator generates the switching
frequency via a divide by 2 circuit. The oscillator can be
synchronized to other DCP02 circuits or an external source,
and is used to minimize system noise.
A watchdog circuit checks the operation of the oscillator
circuit. The oscillator can be stopped by pulling the SYNC
pin LOW. The output pins will be tri-stated. This will occur
in 2
s.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The DCP02 is protected by a thermal shutdown circuit. If the
on-chip temperature exceeds 150
C, the device will shut
down. Once the temperature falls below 150
C, normal
operation will resume.
SYNCHRONIZATION
In the event that more than one DC/DC converter is needed
onboard, beat frequencies and other electrical interference
can be generated. This is due to the variation in switching
frequencies between the DC/DC converters.
The DCP02 overcomes this by allowing devices to be syn-
chronized to one another. Up to eight devices can be syn-
chronized by connecting the SYNC pins together, taking
care to minimize the capacitance of tracking. Significant
stray capacitance (> 10pF) will have the effect of reducing
the switching frequency, or even stopping the oscillator
circuit. It is also recommended that power and ground lines
are star connected.
If synchronized devices are used, it should be noted that, at
start up, all devices will draw maximum current simulta-
neously. This can cause the input voltage to dip and should
it dip below the minimum input voltage (4.5V), the devices
may not start up. A 2.2
F capacitor should be connected
close to the input pins.
If more than eight devices are to be synchronized, it is
recommended that the SYNC pins are driven by an external
device. Details are contained in a separate applications
bulletin (AB-153).
CONSTRUCTION
The DCP02's basic construction is the same as standard ICs.
There is no substrate within the molded package. The
DCP02 is constructed using an IC, rectifier diodes, and a
wound magnetic toroid on a leadframe. As there is no solder
within the package, the DCP02 does not require any special
PCB assembly processing. This results in an isolated
DC/DC converter with inherently high reliability.
SBVS011B

FIGURE 2. Connecting Dual Outputs in Series.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
DISABLE/ENABLE
The DCP02 can be disabled or enabled by driving the SYNC
pin using an open drain CMOS gate. If the SYNC pin is
pulled low, the DCP02 will be disabled. The disable time
depends upon the external loading; the internal disable func-
tion is implemented in 2
s. Removal of the pull down will
cause the DCP02 to be enabled.
Capacitive loading on the SYNC pin should be minimized in
order to prevent a reduction in the oscillator frequency.
DECOUPLING
Ripple Reduction
The high switching frequency of 400kHz allows simple
filtering. To reduce ripple, it is recommended that a 1
F
capacitor is used on V
OUT
. Dual outputs should both be
decoupled to pin 5. A 2.2
F capacitor on the input is
recommended.
Connecting the DCP02 in Series
Multiple DCP02 isolated 2W DC/DC converters can be
connected in series to provide nonstandard voltage rails.
This is possible by utilizing the floating outputs provided by
the DCP02's galvanic isolation.
Connect the positive V
OUT
from one DCP02 to the negative
V
OUT
(0V) of another (see Figure 1). If the SYNC pins are
tied together, the self-synchronization feature of the DCP02
will prevent beat frequencies on the voltage rails. The SYNC
feature of the DCP02 allows easy series connection without
external filtering, minimizing cost.
The outputs on dual output DCP02 versions can also be
connected in series to provide two times the magnitude of
V
OUT
as shown in Figure 2. For example, a dual 15V
DCP022415D could be connected to provide a 30V rail.
Connecting the DCP02 in Parallel
If the output power from one DCP02 is not sufficient, it is
possible to parallel the outputs of multiple DCP02s, as
shown in Figure 3. Again, the SYNC feature allows easy
synchronization to prevent power-rail beat frequencies at no
additional filtering cost.
