Notes
External filter required
Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are at nominal input voltage, nominal output voltage and full
load. General conditions are +25° Celsius ambient temperature, near sea level altitude, natural convection airflow. All models are tested and specified with an external 1 µF multi-layer ceramic output
capacitor. The external input capacitors are 100uF and 2.2uF ceramic. All capacitors are low-ESR
types wired close to the converter. These capacitors are necessary for our test equipment and may
not be needed in the user’s application.
The module will operate when input voltage is within the 18-72V Operating Voltage Range. Output
regulation at full load will be achieved only when Vin ≥ 18V.

Input (back) ripple current is tested and specified over 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input filtering is
Cbus = 220 µF, Cin = 33 µF and Lbus = 12 µF.
The Remote On/Off Control is referred to -Vin.
Over-current protection is non-latching with auto reovery (Hiccup)
Regulation specifications describe the output voltage changes as the line voltage or load current is
varied from its nominal or midpoint value to either extreme.

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
safety, 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 Reverse-Polarity Protection
If the input voltage polarity is 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, 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, which limits the duty cycle of the
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.
Input Source Impedance
These converters will operate to specifications without external components,
assuming that the source voltage has very low impedance and reasonable input
voltage regulation. Since real-world voltage sources have finite impedance,
performance is improved by adding external filter components. Sometimes only
a small ceramic capacitor is sufficient. Since it is difficult to totally characterize
all applications, some experimentation may be needed. Note that external input
capacitors must accept high speed switching currents.
Because of the switching nature of DC/DC converters, the input of these converters must be driven from a source with both low AC impedance and adequate
DC input regulation. Performance will degrade with increasing input inductance.
Excessive input inductance may inhibit operation. The DC input regulation specifies
that the input voltage, once operating, must never degrade below the Shut-Down
Threshold under all load conditions. Be sure to use adequate trace sizes and
mount components close to the converter.
I/O Filtering, 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. External input capacitors (Cin in the figure)
serve primarily as energy storage elements, minimizing line voltage variations caused
by transient IR drops in the input conductors. Users should select input capacitors for
bulk capacitance (at appropriate frequencies), low ESR and high RMS ripple current
ratings. In the figure below, the Cbus and Lbus components simulate a typical DC
voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may require additional considerations.
Please note that the values of Cin, Lbus and Cbus will vary according to the specific
converter model.

random deviations or PARD) may be reduced by adding filter elements such as
multiple external capacitors. Be sure to calculate component temperature rise from
reflected AC current dissipated inside capacitor ESR. Our Application Engineers
can recommend potential solutions.
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “floating” with respect
to their input. The essential feature of such isolation is ideal ZERO CURRENT FLOW
between input and output. Real-world converters however do exhibit tiny leakage
currents between input and output (see Specifications). These leakages consist of
both an AC stray capacitance coupling component and a DC leakage resistance.
When using the isolation feature, do not allow the isolation voltage to exceed
specifications. Otherwise the converter may be damaged. Designers will normally
use the negative output (-Output) as the ground return of the load circuit. You
can however use the positive output (+Output) as the ground return to effectively
reverse the output polarity.

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.
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.
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 temperature
and/or current or reduced airflow as long as the average is not exceeded.
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 are similar to “natural convection,” that is, not using fanforced airflow.
Murata Power Solutions makes characterization measurements in a closed loop
wind tunnel with measured airflow. We use both thermocouples and an infrared
camera system to observe thermal performance. If in doubt, contact Murata
Power Solutions to discuss placement and measurement techniques of suggested
temperature sensors.
CAUTION: If you routinely or accidentally exceed these Derating guidelines, the
converter may have an unplanned Over Temperature shut down. Also, these graphs
are all collected at slightly above Sea Level altitude. Be sure to reduce the derating
for higher density altitude.
Output Overvoltage Protection
This converter monitors its output voltage for an over-voltage condition using an
on-board electronic comparator. If the output exceeds OVP limits, the sensing
circuit will power down the unit, and the output voltage will decrease. After a
time-out period, the PWM will automatically attempt to restart, causing the output
voltage to ramp up to its rated value. It is not necessary to power down and reset
the converter for this automatic OVP-recovery restart.
If the fault condition persists and the output voltage climbs to excessive levels,
the OVP circuitry will initiate another shutdown cycle. This on/off cycling is referred
to as “hiccup” mode.
Output Fusing
The converter is extensively protected against current, voltage and temperature
extremes. However your output application circuit may need additional protection.
In the extremely unlikely event of output circuit failure, excessive voltage could be
applied to your circuit. Consider using an appropriate fuse in series with the output.
Output Current Limiting
As soon as the output current increases to its maximum rated value, the DC/
DC converter will enter a power-limiting mode. The output voltage will decrease
proportionally with increases in output current, thereby maintaining a somewhat
constant power output. This is commonly referred to as power 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. 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 power-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 up to its appropriate value. If
the short-circuit condition persists, another shutdown cycle will initiate. This on/
off cycling is called “hiccup mode”. The hiccup cycling reduces the average output
current, thereby preventing excessive internal temperatures. A short circuit can be
tolerated indefinitely.
Remote On/Off Control
Negative: Optional negative-logic devices are on (enabled) when the On/Off is
grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see Specifications) with respect to –
Vin. The device is off (disabled) when the On/Off is pulled high to +Vin with respect
to –Vin.
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.
There are two CAUTIONs for the On/Off Control:
CAUTION: While it is possible to control the On/Off with external logic if you
carefully observe the voltage levels, the preferred circuit is either an open drain/
open collector transistor or a relay (which can thereupon be controlled by logic).
CAUTION: Do not apply voltages to the On/Off pin when there is no input voltage. Otherwise the converter may be permanently damaged.

Vertical Wind Tunnel
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.
The IR camera monitors the thermal performance of the
Unit Under Test (UUT) under static steady-state conditions. A
special optical port is used which is transparent to infrared
wavelengths.
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.
