Description
The SMHV Series is a family of sub-miniature singleoutput, fully regulated DC to DC converters supplying up to 10kV @1W in 0.434 cubic inches (0.85” x 0.85” x 0.6”). These ultra-compact converters are ideal for applications requiring small size, high performance, and ease of use. HVM’s proprietary, ultra-compact resonant converter design minimizes quiescent current and operating noise while delivering maximum performance and reliability. The devices operate directly from 5VDC ± 0.5VDC input. Output voltage is independent of input power voltage and is proportional to the programming voltage (0 to 5V produces 0 to full scale output) and features excellent linearity. Voltage and current monitor outputs provide the user with operational information for maximum control. The SMHV Series has additional features such as voltage and current monitor outputs, and current limit control input. The SMHV Series is very stable over a wide operating temperature range. Available with alternate output voltages, consult sales for additional information.

Characteristics

Input Power Voltage (IN+):

5V ± 10%

Programming Voltage (PGM):

0 to 5VDC results in 0 to full scale output

Programming Input Impedance:

10kΩ

Current Limit (ILIM):

0 to 1VDC on ILIM input results in output current limiting from 0 to 100%. NOTE: to disable current limit, connect ILIM pin to 5V.
