AFL120XXD SERIES
120V Input, Dual Output
HYBRID-HIGH RELIABILITY
DC/DC CONVERTER
Description
The AFL Series of DC/DC converters feature high power
density with no derating over the full military temperature
range. This series is offered as part of a complete family
of converters providing single and dual output voltages
and operating from nominal +28V or +270V inputs with
output power ranging from 80W to 120W. For applications
requiring higher output power, individual converters
can be operated in parallel. The internal current sharing
circuits assure equal current distribution among the
paralleled converters. This series incorporates International
Rectifier’s proprietary magnetic pulse feedback
technology providing optimum dynamic line and load
regulation response. This feedback system samples
the output voltage at the pulse width modulator fixed
clock frequency, nominally 550KHz. Multiple converters
can be synchronized to a system clock in the 500KHz
to 700KHz range or to the synchronization output of
one converter. Undervoltage lockout, primary and
secondary referenced inhibit, soft-start and load fault
protection are provided on all models.
These converters are hermetically packaged in two
enclosure variations, utilizing copper core pins to
minimize resistive DC losses. Three lead styles are
available, each fabricated with International Rectifier’s
rugged ceramic lead-to-package seal assuring long
term hermeticity in the most harsh environments.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-
38534, these converters are fabricated utilizing DSCC
qualified processes. For available screening options,
refer to device screening table in the data sheet.
Variations in electrical, mechanical and screening can
be accommodated. Contact IR Santa Clara for special
requirements.

Circuit Operation and Application Information
The AFL series of converters employ a forward switched
mode converter topology. (refer to Figure I.) Operation of
the device is initiated when a DC voltage whose magnitude
is within the specified input limits is applied between pins 1
and 2. If pins 4 and 12 are enabled (at a logical 1 or open)
the primary bias supply will begin generating a regulated
housekeeping voltage bringing the circuitry on the primary
side of the converter to life. Two power MOSFETs used to
chop the DC input voltage into a high frequency square
wave, apply this chopped voltage to the power transformer.
As this switching is initiated, a voltage is impressed on a
second winding of the power transformer which is then
rectified and applied to the primary bias supply. When this
occurs, the input voltage is excluded from the bias voltage
generator and the primary bias voltage becomes internally
generated.
The switched voltage impressed on the secondary output
transformer windings is rectified and filtered to provide the
positive and negative converter output voltages. An error
amplifier on the secondary side compares the positive output
voltage to a precision reference and generates an error
signal proportional to the difference. This error signal is
magnetically coupled through the feedback transformer into
the control section of the converter varying the pulse width
of the square wave signal driving the MOSFETs, narrowing
the pulse width if the output voltage is too high and widening
it if it is too low. These pulse width variations provide the
necessary corrections to regulate the magnitude of output
voltage within its’ specified limits.
Because the primary portion of the circuit is coupled to the
secondary side with magnetic elements, full isolation from
input to output is maintained.
Although incorporating several sophisticated and useful
ancilliary features, basic operation of the AFL120XXDseries
can be initiated by simply applying an input voltage to pins 1
and 2 and connecting the appropriate loads between pins 7,
8, and 9. Of course, operation of any converter with high
power density should not be attempted before secure
attachment to an appropriate heat dissipator. (See
Thermal
Considerations,
page 7)
Inhibiting Converter Output (Enable)
As an alternative to application and removal of the DC voltage
to the input, the user can control the converter output by
providing TTL compatible, positive logic signals to either of
two enable pins (pin 4 or 12). The distinction between these
two signal ports is that enable 1 (pin 4) is referenced to the
input return (pin 2) while enable 2 (pin 12) is referenced to
the output return (pin 8). Thus, the user has access to an
inhibit function on either side of the isolation barrier. Each
port is internally pulled “high” so that when not used, an
open connection on both enable pins permits normal
converter operation. When their use is desired, a logical
“low” on either port will shut the converter down.
