PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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 up
to 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
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.

Performance Specification Notes
➀ 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.
➁
➂
➃
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.
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.
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.
➄
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.
➅
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.
➆
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).
➇ Do not exceed maximum power ratings, Sense limits or output overvoltage
when adjusting output trim values.
➈ At zero output current, Vout may contain components which slightly
exceed the ripple and noise specifications.
➉ 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
16
17
18
19
To avoid damage or unplanned shutdown, do not sink appreciable reverse
output current.
If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, always connect an
external fast blow input fuse in series with the +VIN input.
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.
If Sense is not wired to an external load, connect sense pins to their
respective Vout pins. Do not leave sense unconnected.
All models use fixed switching frequencies.

TECHNICAL NOTES
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 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.
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.

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.

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.

Isolated DC/DC Converters
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.
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.
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
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(–)]  10%VOUT
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:

On/Off Control
The input-side, remote On/Off Control function can be ordered to operate with
either logic type:
Positive ("P" suffix) logic models are enabled when the on/off pin is left
open (or is pulled high, applying +3.5V to +15V with respect to –Input) as per
Figure 6. Positive-logic devices are disabled when the on/off pin is pulled low
(0 to 1V with respect to –Input).
Negative (“N” suffix) logic devices are off when pin is left open (or pulled
high, applying +2.5V to +15V), and on when pin is pulled low (–0.1 to +0.8V)
with respect to –Input as shown in Figure 6.

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. Applying an external voltage to pin 2 when no input power is
applied to the converter can cause permanent damage to the converter.

Trimming by Using an External Voltage Source
1. The easiest way to trim the output using an external voltage source is to
drive the Trim pin directly from a variable source. The following equation can
be used to calculate the voltage at the Trim pin.
Vtrim = 2 x 1.225 x
Vo
Vonominal
− 1.225
Vo is the output voltage you want; Vonominal is the nominal output voltage;
Vtrim is the voltage that should appear at the trim pin.
2. If the purpose of trimming is to compensate voltage drop of power path
from converter to the Load, you may separately connect the sense pin directly
to the load. It’s much easier than real time adjusting trim voltage.

3. CAUTION: To avoid unplanned power down cycles, do not exceed EITHER
the maximum output voltage OR the maximum output power when setting
the trim. If the output voltage is excessive, the OVP circuit may shut down the
converter. If the maximum power is exceeded, the converter may enter current
limiting. If the power is exceeded for an extended period, the converter may
overheat and encounter overtemperature shut down. Be careful of external
electrical noise. The Trim input is a sensitive input to the converter’s feedback
control loop. Excessive electrical noise may cause instability or oscillation.

Murata Power Solutions employs a computer controlled
custom-designed closed loop vertical wind tunnel, infrared
video camera system, and test instrumentation for accurate
airflow and heat dissipation analysis of power products.
The system includes a precision low flow-rate anemometer,
variable speed fan, power supply input and load controls,
temperature gauges, and adjustable heating element.
Both through-hole and surface mount converters are soldered down to a host carrier board for realistic heat absorption and spreading. Both longitudinal and transverse airflow
studies are possible by rotation of this carrier board since
there are often significant differences in the heat dissipation
in the two airflow directions. The combination of adjustable
airflow, adjustable ambient heat, and adjustable Input/Output
currents and voltages mean that a very wide range of measurement conditions can be studied.
The collimator reduces the amount of turbulence adjacent
to the UUT by minimizing airflow turbulence. Such turbulence
influences the effective heat transfer characteristics and gives
false readings. Excess turbulence removes more heat from
some surfaces and less heat from others, possibly causing
uneven overheating.
Both sides of the UUT are studied since there are different
thermal gradients on each side. The adjustable heating element and
fan, built-in temperature gauges, and no-contact IR camera mean that
power supplies are tested in real-world conditions.
