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 ceramic/
tantalum 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, fullcurrent 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/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.
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.
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

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.
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 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 (below about 25 LFM) are similar to “natural convection”,
that is, not using fan-forced airflow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
