ULS Series www.murata-ps.com Sixteenth-brick DOSA-Compatible, Isolated DC/DC Converters FEATURES Small footprint DC/DC converter, ideal for high current applications Tiny 0.9" x 1.3" x 0.40" open frame package Typical unit Industry standard DOSA "brick" format and pinout 36-75 Volts DC input range PRODUCT OVERVIEW 2250 Volt Basic input/output isolation (48V models) The world of “brick” DC/DC converters has seen a steady size reduction. The ULS series makes another dramatic size shrink down to a “sixteenthbrick” width (0.9 inches) while still retaining a 66 Watt output and full 2250 Volt DC isolation. The PC-board mount converter family accepts 36 to 75 Volts DC inputs and delivers fixed outputs regulated to within ±0.2%. The ULS converters are ideal for datacom and telecom applications, cell phone towers, data centers, server farms and network repeaters. ULS outputs may be trimmed within ±10% of nominal output while delivering fast settling to current step loads and no adverse effects from higher capacitive loads. Excellent ripple and noise specifications assure compatibility to circuits using CPU’s, ASIC’s, programmable logic and FPGA’s. No Up to 66 Watts total output power with overtemperature shutdown High efficiency synchronous rectifier forward topology Stable no-load operation with no required external components Operating temperature range -40 to +85°C with derating UL 60950-1, CSA-C22.2 No. 234, EN60950-1 safety approvals, 2nd Edition (pending) Extensive self-protection shut down features minimum load is required. For systems requiring controlled startup/shutdown, an external remote On/Off control may use a switch, transistor or digital logic. Remote Sense inputs compensate for resistive line drops at high currents. Many self-protection features on the ULS series avoid both converter and external circuit hazards. These include input undervoltage lockout and overtemperature shutdown. The outputs current limit using the “hiccup” autorestart technique and the outputs may be short-circuited indefinitely. Additional features include output overvoltage and reverse conduction elimination. The synchronous rectifier forward topology yields high efficiency for minimal heat buildup and “no fan” operation.

DC/DC Converter On/Off Enable Control Ground Bounce Protection To improve reliability, if you use a small signal transistor or other external circuit to select the Remote On/Off control, make sure to return the LO side directly to the –Vin power input on the DC/DC converter. To avoid ground bounce errors, do not connect the On/Off return to a distant ground plane or current-carrying bus. If necessary, run a separate small return wire directly to the –Vin terminal. There is very little current (typically 1-5 mA) on the On/Off control however, large current changes on a return ground plane or ground bus can accidentally trigger the converter on or off. If possible, mount the On/ Off transistor or other control circuit adjacent to the converter. + Vin Preferred location of On/Off control adjacent to -Vin terminal On/Off Enable On/Off Control Transistor -Vin return Ground plane or power return bus Do not connect control transistor through remote power bus Install separate return wire for On/Off control with remote transistor Figure 2.

All specifications are typical unless noted. Ambient temperature = +25°Celsius, VIN is nominal, output current is maximum rated nominal. External output capacitance is 1 μF multilayer ceramic paralleled with 10 μF electrolytic. All caps are low ESR. These capacitors are necessary for our test equipment and may not be needed in your application. Testing must be kept short enough that the converter does not appreciably heat up during testing. For extended testing, use plenty of airflow. See Derating Curves for temperature performance. All models are stable and regulate within spec without external cacacitance. 2. Input Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5-20 MHz bandwidth and uses a special set of external filters only for the Ripple Current specifications. Input filtering is CIN = 33 μF, CBUS = 220 μF, LBUS = 12 μH. Use capacitor rated voltages which are twice the maximum expected voltage. Capacitors must accept high speed AC switching currents. 3. Note that Maximum Current Derating Curves indicate an average current at nominal input voltage. At higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, the converter will tolerate brief full current outputs if the average 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. 8. Do not exceed maximum power ratings, Sense limits or output overvoltage when adjusting output trim values. 9. At zero output current, Vout may contain components which slightly exceed the ripple and noise specifications. 10. Output overload protection is non-latching. When the output overload is removed, the output will automatically recover. 11. All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including “cold start” at –40°C. 12. The converter will shut off if the input falls below the undervoltage threshold. It will not restart until the input exceeds the Input Start Up Voltage. 13. Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2% from the selected setting. 14. Output noise may be further reduced by installing an external filter. See the Application Notes. Use only as much output filtering as needed and no more. Larger caps (especially low-ESR ceramic types) may slow transient response or degrade dynamic performance. Thoroughly test your application with all components installed. 15. To avoid damage or unplanned shutdown, do not sink appreciable reverse output current. 4. Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case 3, Issue 1, ground fixed conditions. Operating temperature = +30°C, full output load, natural air convection. 16. If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, to ensure reverse input protection with full output load, always connect an external fast blow input fuse in series with the +VIN input. 5. The output may be shorted to ground indefinitely with no damage. The Output Short Circuit Current shown in the specifications is an average consisting of very short bursts of full rated current to test whether the output circuit can be repowered. 17. Although extremely unlikely, failure of the internal components of this product may expose external application circuits to dangerous voltages, currents, temperatures or power levels. Please thoroughly verify all applications before committing them to service. Be sure to include appropriately-rated FUSES (see specifications and Application Notes) to reduce the risk of failure. 6. The On/Off Control is normally driven from a switch or relay. An open collector/open drain transistor may be used in saturation and cut-off (pinch-off) modes. External logic may also be used if voltage levels are fully compliant to the specifications. 18. Models ULS-12/2.5-D48 and ULS-15/2-D48 do not include sense pins. 7. Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the input line voltage or output load current is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme (50% load). Soldering Guidelines Murata Power Solutions recommends the specifications below when installing these converters. These specifications vary depending on the solder type. Exceeding these specifications may cause damage to the product. Your production environment may differ; therefore please thoroughly review these guidelines with your process engineers.

Fuses should also be used if the possibility of sustained, non-current-limited, input-voltage polarity reversals exists. For DATEL ULS series DC/DC converters, we recommend the use of a fast blow fuse, installed in the ungrounded input supply line with a typical value about twice the maximum input current, calculated at low line with the converter’s minimum efficiency. All relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must be observed by the installer. For system safety agency approvals, the converters must be installed in compliance with the requirements of the end- use safety standard, i.e. IEC/EN/UL60950-1. 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. I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise All models in the ULS Series are tested/specified for input reflected ripple current and output noise using the specified external input/output components/ circuits and layout as shown in the following two figures. External input capacitors (CIN in Figure 3) serve primarily as energy-storage elements, minimizing 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 stability. In Figure 3, CBUS and LBUS simulate a typical dc voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may necessitate additional considerations. TO OSCILLOSCOPE CURRENT PROBE +INPUT LBUS + VIN CBUS CIN – 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 VIN to VOUT 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 specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of the input voltage as it appears at the converter. The ULS Series implements a soft start circuit to limit the duty cycle of its PWM controller at power up, thereby limiting the input inrush current. The On/Off Control to VOUT start-up time assumes the converter has its nominal input voltage applied but is turned off via the On/Off Control pin. The specification defines the interval between the point at which the converter is turned on (released) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. Similar to the VIN to VOUT start-up, the On/Off Control to VOUT start-up time is also governed by the internal soft start circuitry and external load capacitance. The difference in start up time from VIN to VOUT and from On/Off Control to VOUT is therefore insignificant. Input Source Impedance The input of ULS converters must be driven from a low ac-impedance source. The DC/DC’s performance and stability can be compromised by the use of highly inductive source impedances. The input circuit shown in Figure 3 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. –INPUT CIN = 33μF, ESR < 700m7 @ 100kHz CBUS = 220μF, ESR < 100m7 @ 100kHz LBUS = 12μH Figure 3. Measuring Input Ripple Current In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits using filtering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional external output capacitors. They function as true filter 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 voltage and source impedance, as well as particular load and layout conditions. In Figure 4, the two copper strips simulate real-world PCB impedances between the power supply and its load. In order to minimize measurement errors, scope measurements should be made using BNC connectors, or the probe ground should be less than ½ inch and soldered directly to the fixture. Floating Outputs Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “floating” with respect to their input. Designers will normally use the –Output as the ground/ return of the load circuit. You can however, use the +Output as ground/return to effectively reverse the output polarity. Minimum Output Loading Requirements ULS converters employ a synchronous-rectifier design topology and all models regulate within spec and are stable under no-load to full load conditions. Operation under no-load conditions however might slightly increase the output ripple and noise. www.murata-ps.com email: [email protected] 19 Jul 2010 MDC_ULS Series.B16 Page 6 of 12 ULS Series Sixteenth-brick DOSA-Compatible, Isolated DC/DC Converters +SENSE COPPER STRIP +OUTPUT C1 C2 SCOPE RLOAD –OUTPUT –SENSE COPPER STRIP C1 = 1μF CERAMIC C2 = 10μF TANTALUM LOAD 2-3 INCHES (51-76mm) FROM MODULE Remote Sense Note: The Sense and VOUT 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 +VOUT and –Sense to –VOUT at the DC/ DC converter pins. ULS series converters employ a sense feature to provide point of use regulation, thereby overcoming moderate IR drops in PCB conductors 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. [VOUT(+)-VOUT(–)] – [Sense(+)-Sense(–)] d 10%VOUT Figure 4. Measuring Output Ripple/Noise (PARD) Thermal Shutdown The ULS converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If environmental conditions cause the temperature of the DC/DC converter to rise above the designed operating temperature, a precision temperature sensor will power down the unit. When the internal temperature decreases below the threshold of the temperature sensor, the unit will self start. See Performance/Functional Specifications. Output Over-Voltage Protection The ULS output voltage is monitored for an over-voltage condition using a comparator. The signal is optically coupled to the primary side and if the output voltage rises to a level which could be damaging to the load, the sensing circuitry will power down the PWM controller causing the output voltage to decrease. Following a time-out period the PWM will restart, causing the output voltage to ramp to its appropriate value. If the fault condition persists, and the output voltage again climbs to excessive levels, the over-voltage circuitry will initiate another shutdown cycle. This on/off cycling is referred to as “hiccup” mode. In cables and discrete wiring applications, twisted pair or other techniques should be used. Output over-voltage protection is monitored at the output voltage pin, not the Sense pin. Therefore, excessive voltage differences between VOUT and Sense in conjunction with trim adjustment of the output voltage can cause the over-voltage protection circuitry to activate (see Performance Specifications for over-voltage limits). Power derating is based on maximum output current and voltage at the converter’s output pins. Use of trim and sense functions can cause output voltages to increase, thereby increasing output power beyond the converter’s specified rating, or cause output voltages to climb into the output over-voltage region. Therefore, the designer must ensure: (VOUT at pins) x (IOUT) d rated output power Contact and PCB resistance losses due to IR drops –INPUT +OUTPUT IOUT +SENSE Current Limiting As soon as the output current increases to approximately 130% of its rated value, the DC/DC converter will go into a current-limiting mode. In this condition, the output voltage will decrease proportionately with increases in output current, thereby maintaining somewhat constant power dissipation. This is commonly referred to as power limiting. Current limit inception is defined as the point at which the full-power output voltage falls below the specified tolerance. See Performance/Functional Specifications. If the load current, being drawn from the converter, is significant enough, the unit will go into a short circuit condition as described below. 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, 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 to their appropriate 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 ULS Series is capable of enduring an indefinite short circuit output condition.

Remote Sense Circuit Configuration On/Off Control The input-side, remote On/Off Control function can be ordered to operate with either polarity: Positive ("P" suffix) polarity models are enabled when the on/off pin is left open (or is pulled high, applying +3.5V to +13.5V with respect to –Input) as per Figure 6. Positive-polarity devices are disabled when the on/off pin is pulled low (0 to 0.8V with respect to –Input). Negative (“N” suffix) polarity devices are off when pin is left open (or pulled high, applying +3.5V to +13.5V), and on when pin is pulled low (0 to 1V) with respect to –Input as shown in Figure 10. www.murata-ps.com email: [email protected] 19 Jul 2010 MDC_ULS Series.B16 Page 7 of 12 ULS Series Sixteenth-brick DOSA-Compatible, Isolated DC/DC Converters Dynamic control of the remote on/off function is best accomplished with a mechanical relay or an open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated if appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current (see Performance Specifications) when activated and withstand appropriate voltage when deactivated.
