EMI RADIATED EMISSIONS
If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of MPS’s BWR
15-20 Watt A-Series DC/DC Converters have been characterized for radi-
ated and conducted emissions in our new EMI/EMC laboratory. Testing is
conducted in an EMCO 5305 GTEM test cell utilizing EMCO automated EMC
test software. Radiated emissions are tested to the limits of FCC Part 15,
Class B and CISPR 22 (EN 55022), Class B. Radiated emissions plots to
FCC and CISPR 22 for model BWR-5/1700-D48A appear below.

Quality and Reliability
The A-Series are the first DC/DC Converters to emerge from MPS’s new,
company-wide approach to designing and manufacturing the most reliable
power converters available. The five-pronged program draws our Quality
Assurance function into all aspects of new-product design, development,
characterization, qualification and manufacturing.
Design for Reliability
Design for Reliability is woven throughout our multi-phased, new-product-
development process. Design-for-reliability practices are fully documented
and begin early in the new-product development cycle with the following
goals:
1. To work from an approved components/vendors list ensuring the use of
reliable components and the rigorous qualification of new components.
2. To design with safety margins by adhering to a strict set of derating
guidelines and performing theoretical worst-case analyses.
3. To locate potential design weaknesses early in the product-development
cycle by using extensive HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing).
4. To prove that early design improvements are effective by employing a
thorough FRACA (Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action)
system.
HALT Testing
The goal of the accelerated-stress techniques used by MPS is to force device
maturity, in a short period of time, by exposing devices to excessive levels of
"every stimulus of potential value." We use HALT (Highly Accelerated Life
Testing) repeatedly during the design and early manufacturing phases to
detect potential electrical and mechanical design weaknesses
that could result in possible future field failures.
During HALT, prototype and pre-production DC/DC converters are subjected
to progressively higher stress levels induced by thermal cycling, rate of
temperature change, vibration, power cycling, product-specific stresses (such
as dc voltage variation) and combined environments. The stresses are not
meant to simulate field environments but to expose any weaknesses in a
product’s electro/mechanical design and/or assembly processes. The goal
of HALT is to make products fail so that device weaknesses can be analyzed
and strengthened as appropriate. Applied stresses are continually stepped
up until products eventually fail. After corrective actions and/or design
changes, stresses are stepped up again and the cycle is repeated until the
"fundamental limit of the technology" is determined.
