DESCRIPTION
The PWS725A and PWS726A convert a single 7 to 18VDC input to bipolar voltages of the same value as the input voltage. The converters are capable of providing ±15mA at rated voltage accuracy and up to ±40mA without damage. (See Output Current Rating.) The PWS725A and PWS726A converters provide reliable, engineered solutions where isolated power is required in critical applications. The high isolation voltage rating is achieved through use of a speciallydesigned transformer and physical spacing. An additional high dielectric-strength, low leakage transformer coating increases the isolation rating of the PWS726A. Reliability and performance are designed in. The bifilar wound, wirebonded transformer simultaneously provides lower output ripple than competing designs, and a higher performance/cost ratio. The soft-start oscillator/driver design assures full operation of the

oscillator before either MOSFET driver turns on, protects the switches, and eliminates high inrush currents during turn-on. Input current sensing protects both the converter and the load from possible thermal damage during a fault condition. Special design features make these converters especially easy to apply. The compact size allows dense circuit layout while maintaining critical isolation requirements. The Input Sync connection allows frequency synchronization of multiple converters. The Output Sync is available to synchronize ISO120 and ISO121 isolation amplifiers. The Enable input allows control over output power in instances where shutdown is desired to conserve power, such as in battery-powered equipment, or where sequencing of power turn-on/turn-off is desired.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The PWS725A and the PWS726A DC/DC converters consist of a free-running oscillator, control and switch driver circuitry, MOSFET switches, a transformer, a bridge rectifier, and filter capacitors together in a 32-pin DIP (0.900 inches nominal) package. The control circuitry consists of current limiting, soft start, frequency adjust, enable, and synchronization features. See Figure 1. In instances where several converters are used in a system, beat frequencies developed between the converters are a potential source of low frequency noise in the supply and ground paths. This noise may couple into signal paths. See Figures 2 and 3 for connection of INPUT SYNC pin. Converters can be synchronized and these beat frequencies avoided. The unit with the highest natural frequency will determine the synchronized running frequency. To avoid excess stray capacitance, the INPUT SYNC pin should not be loaded with more than 50pF. If unused, the INPUT SYNC must be left open. Soft start circuitry protects the MOSFET switches during start up. This is accomplished by holding the gate-to-source voltage of both MOSFET switches low until the freerunning oscillator is fully operational. In addition to that soft start circuitry, input current sensing also protects the MOSFET switches. This current limiting keeps the FET

(2) Leave INPUT SYNC pin open if unused; limit stray capacitance on INPUT SYNC pin to less than 50pF. (3) Leave ENABLE pin open or connect to VIN if not used. (4) Optional output filtering, with LO = 0, limit CO ≤ 1µF, with LO = 100µH, limit CO ≤ 10µF, see Performance Curves for LO = 0. (5) Optional input filtering, see Performance Curves for LIN = 0.

When either of these conditions occur, the peak input current exceeds a safe limit. The result is an approximate 5% duty cycle, 300µs drive period to the MOSFET switches. This protects the internal MOSFET switches as well as the external load from any thermal damage. When the fault or excessive load is removed, the converter resumes normal operation. A delay period of approximately 50µs incorporated in the current sensing circuitry allows the output filter capacitors to fully charge after a fault is removed. This delay period corresponds to a filter capacitance of no more than 1µF at either of the output pins. This provides full protection of the MOSFET switches and also sufficiently filters the output ripple voltage (see specification table). The current sensing circuitry is designed to provide thermal protection for the MOSFET switches over the operating temperature range as well. The low thermal resistance for the package (θJC = 10°C/W) ensures safe operation under rated conditions. When these rated conditions are exceeded, the unit will go into its shutdown mode. An optional potentiometer can be connected between the two FREQUENCY ADJUST pins to trim the oscillator operating frequency ±10% (see Figure 4). Care should be taken when trimming the frequency near the low frequency range. If the frequency is trimmed too low, the peak inductive currents in the primary will trip the input current sensing circuitry to protect the MOSFET switches from these peak inductive currents. The ENABLE pin allows external control of output power. When this pin is pulled low, output power is disabled. Logic thresholds are TTL compatible. When not used, the Enable input may be left open or tied to VIN (pin 16). 5

FIGURE 4. Frequency Adjustment Procedure. OUTPUT CURRENT RATING The total current which can be drawn from the PWS725A or PWS726A is a function of total power being drawn from both outputs (see Functional Diagram). If one output is not used, then maximum current can be drawn from the other output. If both outputs are loaded, the total current must be limited such that: |IL+| + |IL–| ≤ 80mA It should be noted that many analog circuit functions do not simultaneously draw full rated current from both the positive and negatives supplies. For example, an operational amplifier may draw 13mA from the positive supply under

full load while drawing only 3mA from the negative supply. Under these conditions, the PWS725A/726A could supply power for up to five devices (80mA ÷ 16mA ≈ 5). Thus, the PWS725A/726A can power more circuits than is at first apparent. ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS Because a long-term test is impractical in a manufacturing situation, the generally accepted practice is to perform a production test at a higher voltage for some shorter period of time. The relationship between actual test conditions and the continuous derated maximum specification is an important one. Burr-Brown has chosen a deliberately conservative one: VDCTEST = (2 X VACrms CONTINUOUS RATING) + 1000V for ten seconds. This choice is appropriate for conditions where system transient voltages are not well defined.(1) Where the real voltages are well-defined or where the isolation voltage is not continuous, the user may choose a less conservative derating to establish a specification from the test voltage.

OUTPUT SYNC SIGNAL To allow synchronization of an ISO120 or ISO121 isolation amplifier, the PWS725A and PWS726A have an OUTPUT SYNC signal at pin 29. It should be connected as shown in Figure 5 to keep capacitive loading of pin 29 to a minimum. If output sync is not used, leave pin open.
