GENERAL INFORMATION: The "10A–25A" Series of regulated, high-voltage DC-DC converters are an extension of the "A" Series, directly addressing the needs of the miniature PCB or chassis-mount >=10kV application. Designed and built utilizing state-of-theart power conversion topology, these units feature surfacemount technology and encapsulation techniques providing high reliability and low cost.

COMPATIBILITY: The Series "10A–25A" match the standard "A" Series for design methodology, wide input range, remote control, enable/disable, reference, shock, and vibration.

HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT: The "10A–25A" Series is a non-isolated, unipolar converter. Positive or negative output must be specified. Output is adjustable from 0 to 10kV, 15kV, 20kV, or 25kV. As the output voltage is reduced towards 0, the maximum current capability remains unchanged.

HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT TERMINATION: The "10A–25A" Series utilizes silicon 20kV wire on the 10A and 15A, silicon 30kV wire on the 20A and 25A. All flying leads are 18" and can be terminated with a variety of industrystandard connectors. Contact customer service for details.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR: The "10A–25A" Series features a 1000:1 voltage monitor. The monitor has an output impedance calibrated for use with a 10 Meg? input impedance meter. Overall accuracy is ±2.5% with a temperature coefficient of ±200 ppm per°C.

The "10A" uses a 500 Meg?/523 k? divider. The "15A" uses a 750 Meg?/806 k? divider. The "20A" uses a 1 Gig?/1.1 Meg? divider. The "25A" uses a 1.25 Gig?/1.43 Meg? divider.

For "10A–25A" applications requiring a different scale factor, such as a 0 to 5VDC ADC compatible design, a single, external, low-voltage resistor may be added in parallel with the output voltage monitor, to rescale its output. The voltage monitor is output on pin 9 and referenced to signal-ground pin 5.

OUTPUT CURRENT MONITOR: The "10A–25A" Series is equipped with an output current monitor. Current from the high-voltage multiplier can be monitored by reading the voltage appearing between outputmonitor pin 3 and signal-ground pin 5. The monitor has an output impedance of >20k?. Internal voltage dividers create a small, linear-offset voltage. See Application Note AP-13 for more details.

SHIELDING: The "10A–25A" Series models are available with optional sixsided, wrap-around Mu-Metal Shielding. This shielding attenuates magnetic and electrostatic emissions, while shielding internal circuitry from outside noise, thereby reducing overall output ripple by as much as 25% to 50%.

MECHANICAL: The "10A–25A" Series converters are in PCB-mountable plastic cases requiring footprints of only 5.5in² to 11.0in² and volumes of only 4.9in³ to 11.6in³. Mounting plates and brackets are available for chassis mounting. Also available is a metal RF-tight, PCB/chassis-mount package. See Application Note 6 for thermal considerations and mounting configurations. All models are available with optional "-M" six-sided, wrap-around Mu-Metal Shielding. Despite their high efficiency, the compact, PCB-mounted, 15- & 30-watt units require the optional "-H" factory-installed heat sink or an equivalent customer-installed device in high-temperature applications.

ENVIRONMENT: The "10A–25A" Series provides full power operation at case temperatures from -40 to +65°C. All units receive a 24-hour burn-in prior to final test. Extended temperature range is available along with other enhanced capabilities. Please contact the factory.
