To protect internal circuits against low input voltages, the converters will not operate below an
input of 13V dc.
Connecting the shutdown terminal to a voltage of (
±0.4V) with respect to the output return
terminal, will cause the unit to shutdown. Leaving the terminal open circuit or connecting it to
a logic high signal (3V to 5.5V) will allow the unit to operate.
Model pins are provided which permit the connection of an external hold-up capacitor.
The units are designed to meet the following requirements of MIL-STD-461C, Part 2, category

The circuitry of all Powermite converters is designed to limit the effects of nuclear radiation.
Units are constructed in a non-hermetically sealed two part housing. Internal circuitry is
protected by means of conformal coating. All Powermite modules are repairable.
The MTBF for any unit in the Powermite range, calculated in accordance with MIL-HDBK-217,
can be provide upon request. HI-REL versions with active components screened to JANTX, MIL-
STD-883 or similar are available.
The shelf life of the units is ten years, they may be left in deep store, without the need for
intermittent powering-up or any form of servicing for the period of the shelf life.
All units are subjected to an environmental stress screening programme. For standard versions
this consists of a 48 hour bake at 85C baseplate temperature. High reliability versions are
subjected to 10 minutes of random vibration followed by 48 hours of power and temperature
cycling between -55C and +85C, with full load applied.
