Notes
(1) All specifications are typical unless noted. General conditions for Specifications are +25
deg.C, Vin=nominal, Vout=nominal (no trim installed), full rated load. Adequate airflow
must be supplied for extended testing under power.
All models are tested and specified with external 1μF and 10 μF paralleled output capacitors and a 22 μF external input capacitor. All capacitors are low ESR types. Caps are
layout dependent These capacitors are necessary to accommodate our test equipment
and may not be required in your applications. All models are stable and regulate within
spec under no-load conditions.
(2) Input Back Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input
filtering is Cin=2 x 100 μF, 100V tantalum, Cbus=1000 μF, 100V electrolytic, Lbus=1 μH.
All caps are low ESR types.
(3) Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal input
voltage. At higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, 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 altitude.
(4a) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1,
Case 3, ground fixed conditions, Tpcboard=+25 ˚C, full output load, natural air convection.
(4b) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the MIL-HDBK-217N2 method, ground
benign, +25ºC., full output load, natural 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.
(8) “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.
(9) Input Fusing: If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, to ensure reverse
input protection with full output load, always connect an external input fast-blow fuse
in series with the +Vin input. Use approximately twice the full input current rating with
nominal input voltage.
(10) Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output load
current is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme.
(11) CAUTION: Since the converter is mounted on the end by its pins, do not subject it to high
vibration, shock or acceleration.
(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 specifications when adjusting the output trim. All published specifications are listed at rated nominal output current using published Derating
curves. The maximum power specifications indicate brief operation before overcurrent
shutdown occurs. Note particularly that current must be limited at higher output voltage
in order to comply with maximum power requirements.
(14) At zero output current, the output may contain low frequency components which exceed
the ripple specification. The output may be operated indefinitely with no load.
(15) The input and output are not isolated. They share a single COMMON power and signal
return.
(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.
Trim Connections
Output Voltage Adustment
The output voltage may be adjusted over a limited range by connecting an
external trim resistor (Rtrim) between the Trim pin and Ground. The Rtrim
resistor must be a 1/10 Watt precision metal film type, ±0.5% accuracy or
better with low temperature coefficient, ±100 ppm/oC. or better. Mount the
resistor close to the converter with very short leads or use a surface mount
trim resistor.
In the tables below, the calculated resistance is given. Do not exceed the
specified limits of the output voltage or the converter’s maximum power
rating when applying these resistors. Also, avoid high noise at the Trim
input. However, to prevent instability, you should never connect any capacitors to Trim.

TECHNICAL NOTES
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require fuses at the inputs of
power conversion components. Fuses should also be used when there is the
possibility of sustained input voltage reversal which is not current-limited. For
greatest safely, we recommend a fast blow fuse installed in the ungrounded
input supply line.
The installer must observe all relevant safety standards and regulations. For
safety agency approvals, install the converter in compliance with the end-user
safety standard, i.e. IEC/EN/UL 60950-1.
Input Under-Voltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold
Under normal start-up conditions, converters will not begin to regulate properly
until the ramping-up input voltage exceeds and remains at the Start-Up
Threshold Voltage (see Specifications). Once operating, converters will not
turn off until the input voltage drops below the Under-Voltage Shutdown Limit.
Subsequent restart will not occur until the input voltage rises again above the
Start-Up Threshold. This built-in hysteresis prevents any unstable on/off operation at a single input voltage.
Users should be aware however of input sources near the Under-Voltage
Shutdown whose voltage decays as input current is consumed (such as
capacitor inputs), the converter shuts off and then restarts as the external
capacitor recharges. Such situations could oscillate. To prevent this, make
sure the operating input voltage is well above the UV Shutdown voltage AT ALL
TIMES.
Start-Up Time
Assuming that the output current is set at the rated maximum, the Vin to Vout
Start-Up Time (see Specifications) is the time interval between the point when
the ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the fully loaded
regulated output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band.
Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input
capacitance, input voltage slew rate and final value of the input voltage as it
appears at the converter.
These converters include a soft start circuit to moderate the duty cycle of its
PWM controller at power up, thereby limiting the input inrush current.
The On/Off Remote Control interval from On command to Vout regulated
assumes that the converter already has its input voltage stabilized above the
Start-Up Threshold before the On command. The interval is measured from the
On command until the output enters and remains within its specified accuracy
band. The specification assumes that the output is fully loaded at maximum
rated current. Similar conditions apply to the On to Vout regulated specification
such as external load capacitance and soft start circuitry.
Recommended Input Filtering
The user must assure that the input source has low AC impedance to provide
dynamic stability and that the input supply has little or no inductive content,
including long distributed wiring to a remote power supply. The converter will
operate with no additional external capacitance if these conditions are met.
For best performance, we recommend installing a low-ESR capacitor
immediately adjacent to the converter’s input terminals. The capacitor should
be a ceramic type such as the Murata GRM32 series or a polymer type. Initial
suggested capacitor values are 10 to 22 μF, rated at twice the expected maximum input voltage. Make sure that the input terminals do not go below the
undervoltage shutdown voltage at all times. More input bulk capacitance may
be added in parallel (either electrolytic or tantalum) if needed.
Recommended Output Filtering
The converter will achieve its rated output ripple and noise with no additional
external capacitor. However, the user may install more external output capacitance to reduce the ripple even further or for improved dynamic response.
Again, use low-ESR ceramic (Murata GRM32 series) or polymer capacitors.
Initial values of 10 to 47 μF may be tried, either single or multiple capacitors in
parallel. Mount these close to the converter. Measure the output ripple under
your load conditions.
Use only as much capacitance as required to achieve your ripple and noise
objectives. Excessive capacitance can make step load recovery sluggish or
possibly introduce instability. Do not exceed the maximum rated output capacitance listed in the specifications.
Input Ripple Current and Output Noise
All models in this converter series are tested and specified for input reflected
ripple current and output noise using designated external input/output components, circuits and layout as shown in the figures below. In the figure below,
the Cbus and Lbus components simulate a typical DC voltage bus. Please
note that the values of Cin, Lbus and Cbus will vary according to the specific
converter model.

Figure 4: Measuring Input Ripple Current
In the figure below, the two copper strips simulate real-world printed circuit
impedances between the power supply and its load. In order to minimize circuit
errors and standardize tests between units, scope measurements should be
made using BNC connectors or the probe ground should not exceed one half
inch and soldered directly to the test circuit.

Minimum Output Loading Requirements
All models regulate within specification and are stable under no load to full
load conditions. Operation under no load might however slightly increase
output ripple and noise.
Thermal Shutdown
To prevent many over temperature problems and damage, these converters
include thermal shutdown circuitry. If environmental conditions cause the
temperature of the DC/DC’s to rise above the Operating Temperature Range
up to the shutdown temperature, an on-board electronic temperature sensor
will power down the unit. When the temperature decreases below the turn-on
threshold, the converter will automatically restart. There is a small amount of
hysteresis to prevent rapid on/off cycling. The temperature sensor is typically
located adjacent to the switching controller, approximately in the center of the
unit. See the Performance and Functional Specifications.
Output Current Limiting
Current limiting inception is defined as the point at which full power falls below
the rated tolerance. See the Performance/Functional Specifications. Note particularly that the output current may briefly rise above its rated value in normal
operation as long as the average output power is not exceeded. This enhances
reliability and continued operation of your application. If the output current is
too high, the converter will enter the short circuit condition.
Output Short Circuit Condition
When a converter is in current-limit mode, the output voltage will drop as the
output current demand increases. If the output voltage drops too low (approximately 98% of nominal output voltage for most models), the magnetically
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 up to its appropriate value.
If the short-circuit condition persists, another shutdown cycle will initiate. This
rapid on/off cycling is called “hiccup mode”. The hiccup cycling reduces the
average output current, thereby preventing excessive internal temperatures
and/or component damage. A short circuit can be tolerated indefinitely.
The “hiccup” system differs from older latching short circuit systems
because you do not have to power down the converter to make it restart. The
system will automatically restore operation as soon as the short circuit condition is removed.
Remote On/Off Control
Please refer to the Connection Diagram on page 1 for On/Off connections.
CAUTION: If you operate too close to the thermal limits, the converter may
shut down suddenly without warning. Be sure to thoroughly test your application to avoid unplanned thermal shutdown.
Positive polarity models are enabled when the On/Off pin is left open or is
pulled high to +Vin with respect to –Vin. Positive-polarity devices are disabled
when the On/Off is grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see Specifications) with respect to –Vin.
Temperature Derating Curves
The graphs in this data sheet illustrate typical operation under a variety of
conditions. The Derating curves show the maximum continuous ambient air
temperature and decreasing maximum output current which is acceptable
under increasing forced airflow measured in Linear Feet per Minute (“LFM”).
Note that these are AVERAGE measurements. The converter will accept brief
increases in current or reduced airflow as long as the average is not exceeded.
Dynamic control of the On/Off function should be able to sink appropriate
signal current when brought low and withstand appropriate voltage when
brought high. Be aware too that there is a finite time in milliseconds (see
Specifications) between the time of On/Off Control activation and stable,
regulated output. This time will vary slightly with output load type and current
and input conditions.
Note that the temperatures are of the ambient airflow, not the converter
itself which is obviously running at higher temperature than the outside air.
Also note that very low flow rates (below about 25 LFM) are similar to “natural
convection”, that is, not using fan-forced airflow.
Murata Power Solutions makes Characterization measurements in a closed
cycle wind tunnel with calibrated airflow. We use both thermocouples and an
infrared camera system to observe thermal performance.

Output Capacitive Load
These converters do not require external capacitance added to achieve rated
specifications. Users should only consider adding capacitance to reduce
switching noise and/or to handle spike current load steps. Install only enough
capacitance to achieve noise objectives. Excess external capacitance may
cause regulation problems, degraded transient response and possible oscillation or instability.
