caution: this product is not internally fused. to comply with safety agency certifcations and to avoid injury to personnel or equipment, the user must supply an external fast-blow fuse to the input terminals. see fuse information. specifcation notes (1) all models are tested and specifed with external 1||10 f ceramic/tantalum output capacitors no external input capacitor. all capacitors are low esr types. these capacitors are necessary to accom - modate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve specifed performance in your applications. all models are stable and regulate within spec under no-load conditions. all specifcations are typical unless noted. general conditions for specifcations are +25 deg.c, v in and v out = nominal, full load. adequate airfow must be supplied for extended testing under power. (2) input ripple current is tested and specifed over a 5 hz to 20 mhz bandwidth. input fltering is c in = 33 f, 100v tantalum, c bus = 220 f, 100v electrolytic, l bus = 12 h. (3) note that maximum power derating curves indicate an average current at nominal input voltage. at higher temperatures and/or lower airfow, the dc/dc converter will tolerate brief full current outputs if the total rms current over time does not exceed the derating curve. all derating curves are presented at sea level altitude. be aware of reduced power dissipation with increasing density altitude. (4) mean time before failure is calculated using the telcordia (belcore) sr-332 method 1, case 3, ground fxed conditions, tpcboard = +25 deg.c, full output load, natural air convection. (5) the on/off control is normally controlled by a switch or open collector or open drain transistor. but it may also be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages which are referenced to input common. (6) short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2% from the selected setting. (7) the outputs are not intended to sink appreciable reverse current. this may damage the outputs. (8) output noise may be further reduced by adding an external flter. see i/o filtering and noise reduction. (9) all models are fully operational and meet published specifcations, including cold start at C40 c. (10) regulation specifcations describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output load current is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme. (11) output accuracy is dependent on user-supplied trim resistors. to achieve high accuracy, use 1% or better tolerance metal-flm resistors mounted close to the converter. (12) output current limit and short circuit protection is non-latching. when the overcurrent fault is removed, the converter will immediately recover. (13) do not exceed maximum power specifcations when adjusting the output trim. (14) at zero output current, the output may contain low frequency components which exceed the ripple specifcation. the output may be operated indefnitely with no load. (15) input fusing: if reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, a body diode will become forward biased and will conduct considerable current. to ensure reverse input protection with full output load, always connect an external input fast-blow fuse in series with the +v in input. use approximately twice the full input current rating with nominal input voltage. (16) hiccup overcurrent operation repeatedly attempts to restart the converter with a brief, full-current output. if the overcurrent condition still exists, the restart current will be removed and then tried again. this short current pulse prevents overheating and damaging the converter. once the fault is removed, the converter immediately recovers normal operation. mdc_ucq models.b02 page 9 of 7 technical enquiries email: sales@murata-ps.com, tel: + 508 339 3000 www.murata-ps.com single output ucq model s low-profle, quarter brick, 6.7-40 amp isolated dc/dc converters preliminary absolute maximum ratings input voltage 24v models 48v models continuous 0 to +36 volts 0 to +75 volts transient (100msec) +50 volts +100 volts on/off control 0v min. to +13.5v max. input reverse polarity protection see fuse section output overvoltage tbd output current current-limited. devices can withstand sustained short circuit without damage. operating temperature C40 to +100c storage temperature C55 to +125c lead temperature (soldering 10 sec. max.) +280c c in v in c bu s l bu s c in = 33f , esr < 700m ? @ 100khz c bu s = 220f , esr < 100m ? @ 100khz l bu s = 12h 3 1 +input ?input current pr obe to oscilloscope + ? the on/off control to v out start-up time assumes the converter has its nominal input voltage applied but is turned off via the on/off control pin. the specifcation defnes the interval between the point at which the converter is turned on (released) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specifed accuracy band. similar to the v in to v out start-up, the on/off control to v out start-up time is also governed by the internal soft start circuitry and external load capacitance. the difference in start up time from v in to v out and from on/off control to v out is therefore insignifcant. input source impedance the input of ucq converters must be driven from a low ac-impedance source. the dc/dcs performance and stability can be compromised by the use of highly inductive source impedances. the input circuit shown in figure 2 is a practical solution that can be used to minimize the effects of inductance in the input traces. for optimum performance, components should be mounted close to the dc/dc converter. i/o filtering, input ripple current, and output noise all models in the ucq series are tested/specifed for input refected ripple current and output noise using the specifed external input/output compo - nents/circuits and layout as shown in the following two fgures. external input capacitors (c in in figure 2) serve primarily as energy-storage elements, mini - mizing line voltage variations caused by transient ir drops in conductors from backplane to the dc/dc. input caps should be selected for bulk capacitance (at appropriate frequencies), low esr, and high rms-ripple-current ratings. the switching nature of dc/dc converters requires that dc voltage sources have low ac impedance as highly inductive source impedance can affect system sta - bility. in figure 2, c bus and l bus simulate a typical dc voltage bus. your specifc system confguration may necessitate additional considerations. these are stress ratings. exposure of devices to any of these conditions may adversely affect long-term reliability. proper operation under conditions other than those listed in the performance/functional specifcations table is not implied, nor recommended. input fusing certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. fuses should also be used if the possibility of sustained, non-current-limited, input-voltage polarity reversals exists. for datel ucq series dc/dc converters, we recommend the use of a time delay fuse, installed in the ungrounded input supply line. as a rule of thumb however, we recommend the use of a normal-blow or slow-blow fuse with a typical value about twice the maximum input current, calculated at low line with the converters minimum effciency. all relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must be observed by the installer. for system safety agency approvals, the convert - ers must be installed in compliance with the requirements of the end- use safety standard, i.e. iec/en/ul60950- . input reverse-polarity protection if the input voltage polarity is accidentally reversed, an internal diode will become forward biased and likely draw excessive current from the power source. if this source is not current limited or the circuit appropriately fused, it could cause permanent damage to the converter. input under-voltage shutdown and start-up threshold under normal start-up conditions, devices will not begin to regulate properly until the ramping-up input voltage exceeds the start-up threshold voltage. once operating, devices will not turn off until the input voltage drops below the under-voltage shutdown limit. subsequent re-start will not occur until the input is brought back up to the start-up threshold. this built in hysteresis prevents any unstable on/off situations from occurring at a single input voltage. start-up time the v in to v out start-up time is the time interval between the point at which the ramping input voltage crosses the start-up threshold and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specifed accuracy band. actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capaci - tance, and the slew rate and fnal value of the input voltage as it appears at the converter. the ucq series implements a soft start circuit to limit the duty cycle of its pwm controller at power up, thereby limiting the input inrush current. figure 2. measuring input ripple current in critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or pard) may be reduced below specifed limits using flter - ing techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional external output capacitors. they function as true flter elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low esr and appropriate frequency response. all external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located as close to the converter as possible. temperature variations for all relevant parameters should also be taken carefully into consideration. the most effective combination of external i/o capacitors will be a function of line volt -

netically coupled voltage used to develop primary side voltages will also drop, thereby shutting down the pwm controller. following a time-out period, the pwm will restart causing the output voltage to begin ramping to their appropri - ate value. if the short-circuit condition persists, another shutdown cycle will be initiated. this on/off cycling is referred to as hiccup mode. the hiccup cycling reduces the average output current, thereby preventing internal temperatures from rising to excessive levels. the ucq series is capable of enduring an indefnite short circuit output condition. remote sense note: the sense and v out lines are internally connected through low-value resistors. nevertheless, if the sense function is not used for remote regulation the user should connect the +sense to +v out and Csense to Cv out at the dc/ dc converter pins. ucq series converters employ a sense feature to provide point of use regulation, thereby overcoming moderate ir drops in pcb conduc - tors or cabling. the remote sense lines carry very little current and therefore require minimal cross-sectional-area conductors. the sense lines, which are capacitively coupled to their respective output lines, are used by the feedback control-loop to regulate the output. as such, they are not low impedance points and must be treated with care in layouts and cabling. sense lines on a pcb should be run adjacent to dc signals, preferably ground.
