DESCRIPTION
MHF+ SerieS™ SingleS and dualS
interpoint® MHF+ Series singles and duals are high frequency
dc-dc converters offering a wide input voltage range of 16 to 40
volts (MHF+281r9S, 20 to 32 volts) and up to 15 watts of output
power. Transient protection up to 50 volts for up to 50 ms. The
converters are offered with standard screening, “eS” screening,
or fully compliant to “883” Mil-PrF-38534 Class H screening
(see Table 13 on page 23). Standard Microcircuit drawings
(SMd) are available (see Table 3 on page 7.
The unit is enabled when the pin, which is internally connected to
a pull-up resistor, is left unconnected or is connected to an open-
collector gate. The open circuit output voltage associated with the
inhibit pin is 8.5 to 12 V. In the inhibit mode, a maximum of 5 mA
must be sunk from the inhibit pin. See Figure 6 on page 5

The MHF+ Series single and dual converters are switching
regulators that use a quasi-square wave, single-ended forward
converter design with a constant switching frequency of 550 kHz
typical. isolation between input and output circuits is provided
with a transformer in the forward path and a temperature
compensated optical link in the feedback control loop. See
Figure 1 and Figure 3 on page 4
For the MHF+ dual output models, good cross regulation is
maintained by tightly coupled output magnetics. up to 90%
of the total output power (80% on 2805d) is available from
either output, providing the opposite output is simultaneously
carrying 10% of the total output power (20% on 2805d models).
Predictable current limit is accomplished by directly monitoring
the output load current and providing a constant current output
above the overload point.
An external synchronization feature is included that allows the
user to adjust the nominally 550 kHz operating frequency to
any frequency within the range of 500 kHz to 600 kHz. This is
initiated by applying a signal input of the desired frequency to
pin 5. The capacitively coupled sync input will synchronize on a
differential signal of as low as 4 volts to as high as 5 V. For single
and dual output models, if the sync function is not used, connect
the terminal to input common.

MHF+ Series single and dual output converters provide short
circuit protection by restricting the output current to approximately
115% of the full load output current. The output current is sensed
in the secondary stage to provide highly predictable and accurate
current limiting, and to eliminate foldback characteristics.

undervoltage lockout prevents the single and dual output
converters from operating below approximately 14 Volts input
voltage to keep system current levels smooth, especially during
initialization or re-start operations.
MHF+ converters provide an inhibit terminal that can be used to
disable internal switching, resulting in no output current and very
low quiescent input current. The converter is inhibited when the
inhibit pin is pulled low (≤0.8 V = output disabled).

MHF+ Series of converters are packaged in hermetically sealed
metal cases and can be purchased in a flanged or non-flanged
case. The flanged option provides increased heat dissipation and
also provides greater stability when mechanically secured.

MHF+ SeRIeS™ TRIple DC-DC ConVeRTeRS
MHF+ Series™ Triple dc-dc converters provide a wide input
voltage range of 16 to 48 volts delivering 15 watts of total output
power with output voltages of +5 and ±12 or +5 and ±15 volts.
The main output, +5 volts, will supply up to 7.5 watts and the
auxiliaries will supply up to 7.5 watts of combined power. Full
power operation at -55°C to +125°C plus the ability to withstand
transients of up to 80 V for up to 120 milliseconds make these
converters an ideal choice for your high reliability systems.

MHF+ Triple Series of dc-dc converters incorporate dual-phase,
phase-shifted technology with a continuous flyback topology.
This design eliminates a minimum load requirement on the main
output and eliminates cross regulation effects between the main
output voltage and auxiliary output voltages. See Figure 3 on
page 4.
The phase-shifted design offers reduced input and output ripple.
To meet Mil-STd-461 requirements use an eMi filter, see
Figure 4 on page 4. FMCe-0328 is the recommended filter.
To synchronize the converter’s switching frequency to a system
clock apply the clock signal to the sync terminal (pin 7). When
multiple converters are powered from a single power source,
asynchronous (free run) operation will result in lower peak
noise for common spectral peaks, but synchronous operation
will eliminate any possibility of interference frequencies in the
low audio band. Source impedance of the signal should be
less than 100 ohms and the transition time should be less than
100 nanoseconds. The capacitively coupled sync input will
synchronize on a differential signal of as low as 4 volts to as high
as 5 V. For triple output models, if the sync function is not used,
the terminal should be left open. See Figure 5 on page 4.

or less and there is no generation of switching noise. The inhibit
terminal typically sinks 5 ma when the converter is inhibited. See
Figure 7 on page 5.

unCtion
On the triple output models, internal current limiting circuitry
protects on all three outputs against short circuits. When output
power exceeds approximately 130% of maximum output power,
the output currents are limited. in addition, separate current
limiting circuitry protects each output individually resulting in
normal operation of either the main or the auxiliaries, whichever
is not in a shorted condition.
