The SAR Series of DC-DC High Voltage Converters is based on a two stage design. The first stage is a low voltage Buck Converter that produces a regulated and adjustable voltage (Vbuck) to be stepped-up by the second stage; a fixed step-up ratio DC-DC transformer. The DC-DC transformers consists of a Push-Pull oscillator, synchronized at half the buck frequency, a step-up transformer, followed by a rectifier/multiplier and a filter circuit. It has no active regulation circuit. However, due to a resonant design, it exhibits a very low load effect.

A high impedance programming input (Vadj) controls the Buck Conerter output and allows for 0V to maximum voltage adjustment. The Buck Converter features excellent line regulation an any Vadj level and over the entire input range.

Overal, the SAR Series will provide 0V to Max. HV adjustability with tight input regulation across the input range and a minimal load effect.

The following are designed in functions that increase module versatility:

  • SHDN Input, pulled down will turn off the unit
  • REF Output, 3V +/-5% on board reference voltage simplifies programming
  • Thermal Shutdown
  • Input Over/Under Voltage Shutdown
  • Over Programming protection

 

 

INPUT UNDER/OVER VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
Unit 5SAR Series 12SAR Series 24SAR Series
UV SHDN (V) 4 7 16
OV SHDN (V) 10.5 16 38

 

REMOTE SHUTDOWN: The converter is turned off when Pin #4 (SHDN) is clamped to Pin #1 (-IN) within less than 0.4V.

NON-ISOLATED SHUTDOWN

ISOLATED SHUTDOWN

SINGLE/DUAL OUTPUT OPERATION: The converter can be operated as a single output source of nominal Vout with a load connected between (-Out) and (+Out) or as a dual bipolar source with loads connected between (-Out) and (Com) AND (+Out) and (Com) respectively with each load being powered at Vout/2.

SINGLE OUTPUT

DUAL OUTPUT - BIPOLAR

 

OUTPUT PROGRAMMING: At power-up and with ADJ pin not connected, the SAR Output will be at maximum voltage.

RESISTOR PROGRAMMING:

A resistor connected from ADJ pin to ground will decrease the output voltage. The following formula shows, with reasonable accuracy, the relation between Vout and Rprog, where Rprog is in kohm:

For instance, to adjust to 25% Vout,Max., Rprog is 21kohm, for 50% is 62kohm, and for 75% it is 187kohm.

NOTE: Resistor Programming in not available for 24SAR Modules

VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING:

A voltage source to ADJ pin will program the output voltage linearly. 0V ADJ corresponds to 0V OUT and 3V ADJ corresponds to Vout,Max. The following formula applies:

Vprog [V] is the voltage applied to ADJ pin.

The REF output is useful for programming purposes. A resistor divider or potentiometer could make the circuit for voltage adjustment. In order to keep programming error low, it is recommended for the overall resistance of the divider to not exceed 5kohm.
