The Interpoint™ MFL Series™ 28-volt dc-dc converters are rated
up to 65 watts. On dual output models up to 70% of the rated
output power can be drawn from either the positive or negative
output. These hermetically sealed converters are offered with
standard screening, “ES” screening, or fully compliant to “883”
MIL-PRF-38534 Class H screening. See “Table 9: Element
Evaluation” on page 13 and “Table 10: Environmental
Screening” on page 14. Standard microcircuit drawings (SMD)
are available. See “Table 3: SMD Number Cross Reference” on
page 5.
description
The additional secondary current mode feedback loop improves
transient response in a manner similar to primary current mode
control and allows for ease of paralleling, but without the cost
and complexity.
The constant frequency, pulse-width modulated converters use
a quasi-square wave single-ended forward design. Tight load
regulation is achieved through a wide-bandwidth magnetic
feedback circuit. The output on single MFL models can be
trimmed (see Figure 1 on page 2 for voltage changes with
different resistor values).

The MFL Series converters are switching regulators that use a
quasi-square wave, single ended forward converter design with a
constant switching frequency of 600 kHz.
Isolation between input and output circuits is provided with a
transformer in the forward path and a wide bandwidth magnetic
coupling in the feedback control loop. The MFL uses a unique
dual loop feedback technique that controls output current with
an inner feedback loop and an output voltage with a cascaded
voltage mode feedback loop.
i
nhibit
The MFL Series converters have two inhibit terminals (INH1 and
INH2) that can be used to disable power conversion, resulting in
a very low quiescent input current and no generation of switching
noise. See Table 5 on page 6 for inhibit specifications.
s
ync
Converters may be synced to an external clock (525 to 675 kHz)
or to one another by using the sync in or out pins. The nominal
free-run switching frequency is 600 kHz.

Note that synchronizing the units together (though shown in the
figure) is not required for current sharing operation. A second
slave unit may be placed in parallel with a master and slave; this
requires the TRI pin (pin 3) of the master unit to be connected to
the SNS RTN pin (pin 9).
When paralleled, up to 95% of the total combined power ratings
of the MFL converters is available at the load. Overload and short
circuit performance are not adversely affected during parallel
operation.
Multiple MFL converters may be used in parallel to drive a
common load (see Figure 2 on page 3). Only single output
models with SENSE and SNS RTN can be used in the share
mode. In this mode of operation the load current is shared by
two or three MFL converters. In current sharing mode, one MFL
converter is designated as a master. The SLAVE pin (pin 11) of
the master is left unconnected and the MSTR/INH2 pin (pin 12)
of the master is connected to the SLAVE pin (pin 11) of the slave
units. The units designated as slaves have the MSTR/INH2 pin
(pin 12) connected to the SNS RTN pin (pin 9). Figure 2 on page
3 shows the typical setup for two or three units in parallel.

Notes:
1. When using remote sense for voltage
compensation or when using remote sense
for trim, the output will drift over temperature.
Contact Applications Engineering for more
information powerapps@crane-eg.com.
2. Do not exceed the maximum rated power.

Notes
1. No one converter may carry more than its maximum rated current.
2. Although 95% of the maximum current of paralleled converters is available, individual converter operation, load and layout may affect
the actual current shared. Contact Applications Engineering for more information powerapps@crane-eg.com.
