CUI Power Modules uses Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 Method 1 to calculate the mean steady-state failure rate and standard deviation (σ). Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 also provides techniques to estimate the upper confidence levels of failure rates based on the mean and standard deviation. Component power supplies for general use should comply with the requirements in IEC/EN/UL 60950 1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment. Product related standards, e.g. IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet, and ETS 300132 2 Power interface at the input to telecom equipment, operated by direct current (dc) are based on IEC/EN/UL 60950 1 with regards to safety. CUI Power Modules DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are UL 60950 1 recognized and certified in accordance with EN 60950 1. The flammability rating for all construction parts of the products meet requirements for V 0 class material according to IEC 60695 11 10, Fire hazard testing, test flames – 50 W horizontal and vertical flame test methods. Mean steady-state failure rate, λ Std. deviation, σ 421 n F ailures/h the requirements of all applicable safety standards and regulations for the final product. 60.9 nF ailures/h MTBF (mean value) for the NQB series = 2.9 Mh. MTBF at 90% confidence level = 2.4 Mh Compatibility with RoHS requirements Isolated DC/DC converters The products are compatible with the relevant clauses and requirements of the RoHS directive 2011/65/EU and have a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE and of 0.01% by weight in homogeneous materials for cadmium. Galvanic isolation between input and output is verified in an electric strength test and the isolation voltage (Viso) meets the voltage strength requirement for basic insulation according to IEC/EN/UL 60950-1. It is recommended to use a slow blow fuse at the input of each DC/DC converter. If an input filter is used in the circuit the fuse should be placed in front of the input filter. In the rare event of a component problem that imposes a short circuit on the input source, this fuse will provide the following functions: • Isolate the fault from the input power source so as not to affect the operation of other parts of the system • Protect the distribution wiring from excessive current and power loss thus preventing hazardous overheating Exemptions in the RoHS directive utilized in CUI Power Modules products are found in the Statement of Compliance document. Safety Specification Reliability CUI Power Modules DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are designed in accordance with the safety standards IEC 60950 1, EN 60950 1 and UL 60950 1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment. IEC/EN/UL 60950 1 contains requirements to prevent injury or damage due to the following hazards: • Electrical shock • Energy hazards • Fire • Mechanical and heat hazards • Radiation hazards • Chemical hazards On-board DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are defined as component power supplies. As components they cannot fully comply with the provisions of any safety requirements without “conditions of acceptability”. Clearance between conductors and between conductive parts of the component power supply and conductors on the board in the final product must meet the applicable safety requirements. Certain conditions of acceptability apply for component power supplies with limited stand-off (see Mechanical Information for further information). It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the final product housing these components complies with The DC/DC converter output is considered as safety extra low voltage (SELV) if one of the following conditions is met: • The input source has double or reinforced insulation from the AC mains according to IEC/EN/ UL 60950-1 • The input source has basic or supplementary insulation from the AC mains and the input of the DC/DC converter is maximum 60 Vdc and connected to protective earth according to IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 • The input source has basic or supplementary insulation from the AC mains and the DC/DC converter output is connected to protective earth according to IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 Non - isolated DC/DC regulators The DC/DC regulator output is SELV if the input source meets the requirements for SELV circuits according to IEC/ EN/UL 60950-1. cui.com CUI Inc │ SERIES: NQB-N │ DESCRIPTION: FULLY REGULATED ADVANCED BUS CONVERTERS date 02/20/2013 │ page 4 of 30 Absolute Maximum Ratings parameter conditions/description min operating temperature (TP1) see thermal consideration section typ max units -40 +125 °C storage temperature (TS) -55 +125 °C input voltage (VI) -0.5 +80 +65* V isolation voltage (Viso) input to output test voltage, see note 1 2250 Vdc input voltage transient (Vtr) according to ETSI EN 300 132-2 and Telcordia GR1089-CORE +100 +80* V remote control pin voltage (VRC) see operating information section 18 V -0.3 Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage.

The fundamental switching frequency is 140 kHz for NQB at VI = 53 V, max IO. Conducted EMI Input terminal value (typ) Test set-up Layout recommendations The radiated EMI performance of the product will depend on the PWB layout and ground layer design. It is also important to consider the stand-off of the product. If a ground layer is used, it should be connected to the output of the product and the equipment ground or chassis. A ground layer will increase the stray capacitance in the PWB and improve the high frequency EMC performance.

Input Voltage The NQB consists of two different product families designed for two different input voltage ranges, 36 to 75 Vdc and 40 to 60 Vdc, see ordering information. EMI with filter The input voltage range 36 to 75 Vdc meets the requirements of the European Telecom Standard ETS 300 132-2 for normal input voltage range in –48 and cui.com CUI Inc │ SERIES: NQB-N │ DESCRIPTION: FULLY REGULATED ADVANCED BUS CONVERTERS The input voltage range 40 to 60 Vdc meets the requirements for normal input voltage range in -48 V systems, -40.5 to -57.0 V. At input voltages exceeding 60 V, the power loss will be higher than at normal input voltage and TP1 must be limited to absolute max +125°C. The absolute maximum continuous input voltage is 65 Vdc. Turn-off Input Voltage The product monitors the input voltage and will turn on and turn off at predetermined levels. The minimum hysteresis between turn on and turn off input voltage is 2 V. Remote Control (RC) The products are fitted with a remote control function. The remote control is referenced to the primary negative input connection (-In). The RC function allows the converter to be turned on/off by an external device like a semiconductor or mechanical switch. The RC pin has an internal pull up resistor. The device should be capable of sinking 0.7 mA. When the RC pin is left open, the voltage generated on the RC pin is max 6 V. The product is provided with “negative logic” remote control and will be off until the RC pin is connected to the -In. To turn on the product the voltage between RC pin and -In should be less than 1 V. To turn off the product the RC pin should be left open for a minimum of time 150 µs, the same time requirement applies when the product shall turn on. In situations where it is desired to have the product to power up automatically without the need for control signals or a switch, the RC pin can be wired directly to –In Input and Output Impedance The impedance of both the input source and the load will interact with the impedance of the product. It is important that the input source has low characteristic impedance. Minimum recommended external input capacitance is 100 µF. The performance in some applications can be enhanced by addition of external capacitance as described under External Decoupling Capacitors. External Decoupling Capacitors When powering loads with significant dynamic current requirements, the voltage regulation at the point of load can be improved by addition of decoupling capacitors at the load. The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic and electrolytic capacitors as close to the load as possible, using several parallel capacitors to lower the effective ESR. The ceramic capacitors will handle highfrequency dynamic load changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used to handle low frequency dynamic load changes. Ceramic capacitors will also reduce any high frequency noise at the load. It is equally important to use low resistance and low inductance PWB layouts and cabling. External decoupling capacitors will become part of the product’s control loop. The control loop is optimized for a wide range of external capacitance and the maximum recommended value that could be used without any additional analysis is found in the electrical specification. The ESR of the capacitors is a very important parameter. Stable operation is guaranteed with a verified ESR value of >10 mΩ across the output connections. For further information please contact your local CUI Power Modules representative. Parallel Operation (Droop Load Share, DLS) The NQB, DLS products are variants that can be connected in parallel. The products have a pre-configured voltage droop: The stated output voltage set point is at no load. The output voltage will decrease when the load current is increased. The voltage will droop 0.6 V while load reaches max load. This feature allows the products to be connected in parallel and share the current with 10% accuracy. Up to 90% of max output current can be used from each product. Voltage regulation DLS products 12.8 Output Voltage [V] –60 Vdc systems, -40.5 to -57.0 V and –50.0 to -72 V respectively. At input voltages exceeding 75 V, the power loss will be higher than at normal input voltage and TP1 must be limited to absolute max +125°C. The absolute maximum continuous input voltage is 80 Vdc. date 02/20/2013 │ page 20 of 30 Module 1 12.6 Module 2 Module 1+2 12.4 12.2 12.0 11.8 11.6 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Output Current [A] Feed Forward Capability The NQB products have a feed forward function implemented that can handle sudden input voltage changes. The output voltage will be regulated during an input transient and will typically stay within 10% when an input transient is applied. Soft-start Power Up The rise time of the ramp up is 10 ms. When starting by applying input voltage the control circuit boot-up time adds an additional 15 ms delay. The DLS variants have a pre-configured ramp up time of 25 ms. Temperature Protection (OTP, UTP) The products are protected from thermal overload by an internal temperature shutdown protection. When TP1 as defined in thermal consideration section is exceeded the product will shut down. The product will make continuous attempts to start up and resume normal operation cui.com CUI Inc │ SERIES: NQB-N │ DESCRIPTION: FULLY REGULATED ADVANCED BUS CONVERTERS automatically when the temperature has dropped below the temperature threshold; the hysteresis is defined in general electrical specification. The product has also an under temperature protection. Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The product includes over voltage limiting circuitry for protection of the load. The OVP limit is 30% above the nominal output voltage. The response from an over voltage fault is to immediately shut down. The device will continuously check for the presence of the fault condition, and when the fault condition no longer exists the device will be re-enabled. Over Current Protection (OCP) The product includes current limiting circuitry for protection at continuous overload. The setting for the product is hic-up mode if the maximum output current is exceeded and the output voltage is below 0.3×Vout. Above the trip voltage the product will continue operate while maintaining the output current at the maximum output current. The load distribution should be designed for the maximum output short circuit current specified. date 02/20/2013 │ page 21 of 30 Thermal Consideration General The product is designed to operate in different thermal environments and sufficient cooling must be provided to ensure reliable operation. For products mounted on a PWB without a heat sink attached, cooling is achieved mainly by conduction, from the pins to the host board, and convection, which is dependant on the airflow across the product. Increased airflow enhances the cooling of the product. The Output Current Derating graph found in the output section for each model provides the available output current vs. ambient air temperature and air velocity at VI =53 V. The product is tested on a 254 x 254 mm, 35 µm (1 oz), 16-layer test board mounted vertically in a wind tunnel with a cross-section of 608 x 203 mm. Droop Load Share variants (DLS) will enter hic-up mode, with a trip voltage, 0.04×Vout. Above the trip voltage the product will continue to operate while maintaining the output current at the maximum output current Input Over/Under voltage protection The input of the product is protected from high input voltage and low input voltage. Pre-bias Start-up Capability The product has a Pre-bias start up functionality and will not sink current during start up if a Pre-bias source is present at the output terminals. If the Pre-bias voltage is lower than the target value, the product will ramp up to the target value. If the Pre-bias voltage is higher than the target value, the product will ramp down to the target value and in this case sink current for a limited time. 13.4 13.4 13.2 13.2 13.0 13.0 12.8 12.8 Vout [V] Vout [V] Output Voltage Regulation The NQB products are designed to be fully regulated within the plotted area.

The temperature at these positions (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4) should not exceed the maximum temperatures in the table below. The number of measurement points may vary with different thermal design and topology. Temperatures above maximum TP1, measured at the reference point P1 (TP3 / P3 for base plate versions) are not allowed and may cause permanent damage.

For Pb-free solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in excess of the solder melting temperature (TL, 217 to 221°C for SnAgCu solder alloys) for more than 60 seconds and a peak temperature of 245°C on all solder joints is recommended to ensure a reliable solder joint. The reflow profile should be optimised to avoid excessive heating of the product. It is recommended to have a sufficiently extended preheat time to ensure an even temperature across the host PWB and it is also recommended to minimize the time in reflow. Maximum Product Temperature Requirements Top of the product PWB near pin 2 is chosen as reference location for the maximum (peak) allowed product temperature (TPRODUCT) since this will likely be the warmest part of the product during the reflow process. A no-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of cleaning fluids in cavities inside the product or between the product and the host board, since cleaning residues may affect long time reliability and isolation voltage. SnPb solder processes For SnPb solder processes, the product is qualified for MSL 1 according to IPC/JEDEC standard J STD 020C. During reflow TPRODUCT must not exceed 225 °C at any time. General reflow process specifications SnPb eutectic Pb-free Average ramp-up (T PRODUCT ) Typical solder melting (liquidus) temperature TL Minimum reflow time above T L 3°C/s max 3°C/s max 183°C 221°C 60 s 60 s Minimum pin temperature T PIN 210°C 235°C Peak product temperature T PRODUCT 225°C 260°C Average ramp-down (T PRODUCT ) 6°C/s max 6°C/s max Maximum time 25°C to peak 6 minutes 8 minutes Pb-free solder processes For Pb-free solder processes, the product is qualified for MSL 3 according to IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C. During reflow TPRODUCT must not exceed 260 °C at any time. Dry Pack Information Products intended for Pb-free reflow soldering processes are delivered in standard moisture barrier bags according to IPC/JEDEC standard J STD 033 (Handling, packing, shipping and use of moisture/reflow sensitivity surface mount devices). Temperature TPRODUCT maximum TPIN minimum Pin profile TL Time in preheat / soak zone Time 25°C to peak Time in reflow Product profile Using products in high temperature Pb-free soldering processes requires dry pack storage and handling. In case the products have been stored in an uncontrolled environment and no longer can be considered dry, the modules must be baked according to J STD 033. Time Thermocoupler Attachment Minimum Pin Temperature Recommendations Pin number 5 chosen as reference location for the minimum pin temperature recommendation since this will likely be the coolest solder joint during the reflow process. Top of PWB near pin 2 for measurement of maximum product temperature, TPRODUCT SnPb solder processes For SnPb solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in excess of the solder melting temperature, (TL, 183°C for Sn63Pb37) for more than 60 seconds and a peak temperature of 220°C is recommended to ensure a reliable solder joint. For dry packed products only: depending on the type of solder paste and flux system used on the host board, up to a recommended maximum temperature of 245°C could be used, if the products are kept in a controlled environment (dry pack handling and storage) prior to assembly.

The pin temperature is specified to maximum to 270°C for maximum 10 seconds. A maximum preheat rate of 4°C/s and maximum preheat temperature of 150°C is suggested. When soldering by hand, care should be taken to avoid direct contact between the hot soldering iron tip and the pins for more than a few seconds in order to prevent overheating. A no-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of cleaning fluids in cavities inside the product or between the product and the host board. The cleaning residues may affect long time reliability and isolation voltage.
