Note: Some model number combinations may not be available. Please contact Murata Power Solutions. Pin 9 Baseplate Connection The UQQ series may include an optional installed baseplate for extended thermal management. This baseplate is electrically isolated from the rest of the converter. Various UQQ models are also available with an additional pin 9 on special quantity order which electrically connects to the baseplate. Pin 9 is also isolated from the rest of the converter. Please refer to the mechanical drawings. The baseplate may be ordered by adding a "B" to the model number tree and pin 9 will be pre-installed by adding a "9". The two options are separate. Please refer to the Ordering Guide. Do not order pin 9 without the baseplate. Note that "pin 9" converters may be on limited forecast, requiring minimum order quantities and scheduled deliveries. Pin 9 offers a positive method of controlling the electrical potential of the baseplate, independent of the converter. If you do not include pin 9, the baseplate may also be grounded by the mounting bolts.

All capacitors are low ESR types. 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. General conditions for Specifications are +25C, VIN = nominal, VOUT = nominal, full load unless noted. (2) Input Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5Hz to 20MHz bandwidth. Input filtering is CIN = 33F tantalum, CBUS = 220F electrolytic, LBUS = 12H. (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. (4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case 3, ground fixed conditions, TPCBOARD = +25C, full output load, natural air convection. (5) The On/Off Control may be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages which are referenced to Input Common. The On/Off Control Input should use either an open collector/open drain transistor or logic gate. (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. UL 94V-0 (8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction. (9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including "cold start" at -40C. On-board component package temperatures must not exceed +128C. (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) Alternate pin length and/or other output voltages are available under special quantity order. (12) Overvoltage shutdown on 48V input models can be eliminated under special quantity order. OV shutdown can be deleted in order to comply with certain telecom reliability requirements. These requirements attempt continued operation despite significant input overvoltage. (13) Do not exceed maximum power specifications when adjusting the output trim. (14) Note that the converter may operate up to +105C with the baseplate installed (+100C for the UQQ-3.3/25-Q48). However, thermal self-protection occurs near +120C Therefore, +105C is recommended to avoid thermal shutdown. (15) If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, to ensure reverse input protection, always connect an external input fuse in series with the +VIN input. Use approximately twice the full input current rating with nominal input voltage. (16) For On/Off Control on negative-polarity UQQ-3.3/25-Q48N models, the maximum OFF mode control voltage is +13.5 Volts. For the ON mode, the range is pin grounded to +1 Volt max. (17) Always connect the sense pins. If they are not connected to a remote load, connect each sense pin to its respective output at the converter pins. www.murata-ps.com/support MDC_UQQ.C03 Page 5 of 18 UQQ Series Wide Input Range Single Output DC/DC Converters TYPICAL PERFORMANCE DATA UQQ-3.3/25-Q12 Efficiency vs. Line Voltage and Load Current @ 25C UQQ-3.3/25-Q48P Efficiency vs. Line Voltage and Load Current @ 25C 90 90 88 88 86 84 84 Efficiency (%) Efficiency (%) 86 VIN = 12V 82 VIN = 18V 80 VIN = 24V 82 VIN = 18V 80 VIN = 24V 78 VIN = 36V 76 74 VIN = 48V 72 VIN = 30V 78 VIN = 60V 70 VIN = 36V VIN = 72V 68 76 66 74 64 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 Load Current (Amps) Load Current (Amps) UQQ-3.3/25-Q12P Maximum Current Temperature Derating (no baseplate, VIN = 12V, air flow is transverse) UQQ-3.3/25-Q12PB Maximum Current Temperature Derating (with baseplate, VIN = 12V, air flow is transverse) 25 25.0 24.5 24.5 Natural Convection Natural Convection Output Current (Amps) 23.5 23 22.5 22 100 lfm 21.5 21 200 lfm 20.5 20 300 lfm 19.5 24.0 100 lfm 23.5 23.0 22.5 200 lfm 22.0 21.5 300 lfm 21.0 19 20.5 18.5 400 lfm 20.0 18 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 20 85 25 30 35 40 Ambient Temperature (C) 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (C) UQQ-3.3/25-Q48 Maximum Current Temperature Derating at sea level (VIN = 48V, with baseplate, transverse air flow) 26 25 24 Output Current (Amps) Output Current (Amps) 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 Natural Convection 100 LFM 17 200 LFM 300 LFM 16 15 400 LFM 14 13 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 Ambient Temperature (C) www.murata-ps.com/support MDC_UQQ.C03 Page 6 of 18 UQQ Series Wide Input Range Single Output DC/DC Converters TYPICAL PERFORMANCE DATA 511 10 %FFICIENCY VS ,INE 6OLTAGE AND ,OAD #URRENT 511 10 0OWER $ISSIPATION VS ,OAD #URRENT #

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. Wave Solder Operations for through-hole mounted products (THMT) For Sn/Ag/Cu based solders: For Sn/Pb based solders: Maximum Preheat Temperature 115 C. Maximum Preheat Temperature 105 C. Maximum Pot Temperature 270 C. Maximum Pot Temperature 250 C. Maximum Solder Dwell Time 7 seconds Maximum Solder Dwell Time 6 seconds Removal of Soldered UQQ's from Printed Circuit Boards Should removal of the UQQ from its soldered connection be needed, thoroughly de-solder the pins using solder wicks or de-soldering tools. At no time should any prying or leverage be used to remove boards that have not been properly de-soldered first. Input Source Impedance UQQ converters must be driven from a low ac-impedance input 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 2 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. I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise All models in the UQQ Series are tested/specified for input ripple current (also called input reflected ripple current) and output noise using the circuits and layout shown in Figures 2 and 3. External input capacitors (CIN in Figure 2) serve primarily as energy-storage elements. They 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 2, CBUS and LBUS simulate a typical dc voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may necessitate additional considerations. In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or PARD) can be reduced below specified limits using filtering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appropriate frequency response. In Figure 3, the two copper strips simulate real-world pcb impedances between the power supply and its load. Scope measurements should be made using BNC connectors or the probe ground should be less than 1/2 inch and soldered directly to the fixture. 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 be taken into consideration. OS-CONTM organic semiconductor capacitors (www.sanyo.com) can be especially effective for further reduction of ripple/noise. 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. +SENSE +OUTPUT 7 C1 +INPUT LBUS + VIN 3 CBUS CIN SCOPE RLOAD 4 5 CURRENT PROBE C2 -OUTPUT -SENSE TO OSCILLOSCOPE COPPER STRIP 8 COPPER STRIP C1 = 1F CERAMIC C2 = 10F TANTALUM LOAD 2-3 INCHES (51-76mm) FROM MODULE Figure 3.

Measuring Input Ripple Current www.murata-ps.com/support MDC_UQQ.C03 Page 13 of 18 UQQ Series Wide Input Range Single Output DC/DC Converters Start-Up Threshold and Undervoltage Shutdown Under normal start-up conditions, the UQQ Series will not begin to regulate properly until the ramping input voltage exceeds the Start-Up Threshold. Once operating, devices will turn off when the applied voltage drops below the Undervoltage Shutdown point. Devices will remain off as long as the undervoltage condition continues. Units will automatically re-start when the applied voltage is brought back above the Start-Up Threshold. The hysteresis built into this function avoids an indeterminate on/off condition at a single input voltage. See Performance/Functional Specifications table for actual limits. should not be allowed to exceed 0.5V. Consider using heavier wire if this drop is excessive. Sense is connected at the load and corrects for resistive errors only. Be careful where it is connected. Any long, distributed wiring and/or significant inductance introduced into the Sense control loop can adversely affect overall system stability. If in doubt, test the application, and observe the DC/DC's output transient response during step loads. There should be no appreciable ringing or oscillation. You may also adjust the output trim slightly to compensate for voltage loss in any external filter elements. Do not exceed maximum power ratings. Start-Up Time Current Limiting (Power limit with current mode control) The VIN to VOUT Start-Up Time is the interval between the point at which a ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold voltage and the point at which 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 to the converter. The On/Off to VOUT start-up time assumes that the converter is turned off via the Remote On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied. As power demand increases on the output and enters the specified "limit inception range" (current in voltage mode and power in current mode) limiting circuitry activates in the DC-DC converter to limit/restrict the maximum current or total power available. In voltage mode, current limit can have a "constant or foldback" characteristic. In current mode, once the current reaches a certain range the output voltage will start to decrease while the output current continues to increase, thereby maintaining constant power, until a maximum peak current is reached and the converter enters a "hic-up" (on off cycling) mode of operation until the load is reduced below the threshold level, whereupon it will return to a normal mode of operation. Current limit inception is defined as the point where the output voltage has decreased by a pre-specified percentage (usually a 2% decrease from nominal). On/Off Control The primary-side, Remote On/Off Control function (pin 2) can be specified to operate with either positive or negative polarity. Positive-polarity devices ("P" suffix) are enabled when pin 2 is left open or is pulled high. Positive-polarity devices are disabled when pin 2 is pulled low or left open (with respect to -Input). Negative-polarity devices are off when pin 2 is high and on when pin 2 is pulled low or grounded. See Figure 4. 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. ).054 %15)6!,%.4 #)2#5)4 &/2 0/3)4)6% !.$ .%'!4)6% ,/')# -/$%,3 6 The short circuit condition is an extension of the "Current Limiting" condition. When the monitored peak current signal reaches a certain range, the PWM controller's outputs are shut off thereby turning the converter "off." This is followed by an extended time out period. This period can vary depending on other conditions such as the input voltage level. Following this time out period, the PWM controller will attempt to re-start the converter by initiating a "normal start cycle" which includes softstart. If the "fault condition" persists, another "hic-up" cycle is initiated. This "cycle" can and will continue indefinitely until such time as the "fault condition" is removed, at which time the converter will resume "normal operation." Operating in the "hic-up" mode during a fault condition is advantageous in that average input and output power levels are held low preventing excessive internal increases in temperature.

Driving the Remote On/Off Control Pin Sense Input Note: The sense and VOUT lines are internally connected through low-value resistors. Nevertheless, if sense is not used for remote regulation, the user must connect + sense to + VOUT and -sense to -VOUT at the converter pins. Sense is intended to correct small output accuracy errors caused by the resistive ohmic drop in output wiring as output current increases. This output drop (the difference between Sense and VOUT when measured at the converter) UQQ converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If the internal temperature of the DC/DC converter rises above the designed operating temperature (See Performance Specifications), 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. Output Overvoltage Protection The output voltage is monitored for an overvoltage condition via magnetic coupling to the primary side. If the output voltage rises to a fault condition, which could be damaging to the load circuitry (see Performance Specifications), 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 voltages again climb to excessive levels, the overvoltage circuitry will initiate another shutdown cycle. This on/off cycling is referred to as "hiccup" mode. www.murata-ps.com/support MDC_UQQ.C03 Page 14 of 18 UQQ Series Wide Input Range Single Output DC/DC Converters Input Reverse-Polarity Protection 1 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 the source is not current limited or the circuit appropriately fused, it could cause permanent damage to the converter. +OUTPUT -INPUT +SENSE 2 ON/OFF CONTROL TRIM -SENSE 3 7 6 LOAD RTRIM UP 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 a sustained, non-current-limited, input-voltage polarity reversal exists. For MPS UQQ Series DC/DC Converters, fast-blow fuses are recommended with values no greater than twice the maximum input current. 8 +INPUT -OUTPUT 5 4 Figure 5. Trim Connections To Increase Output Voltages Using Fixed Resistors Trimming Output Voltage UQQ converters have a trim capability (pin 6) that enables users to adjust the output voltage from +10% to -20% (refer to the trim equations). Adjustments to the output voltage can be accomplished with a single fixed resistor as shown in Figures 5 and 6. A single fixed resistor can increase or decrease the output voltage depending on its connection. Resistors should be located close to the converter and have TCR's less than 100ppm/C to minimize sensitivity to changes in temperature. If the trim function is not used, leave the trim pin open. Standard UQQ's have a "positive trim" where a single resistor connected from the Trim pin (pin 6) to the +Sense (pin 7) will increase the output voltage. A resistor connected from the Trim Pin (pin 6) to the -Sense (pin 5) will decrease the output voltage. Trim adjustments greater than the specified +10%/-20% can have an adverse affect on the converter's performance and are not recommended. Excessive voltage differences between VOUT and Sense, in conjunction with trim adjustment of the output voltage, can cause the overvoltage protection circuitry to activate (see Performance Specifications for overvoltage limits). Temperature/power derating is based on maximum output current and voltage at the converter's output pins. Use of the trim and sense functions can cause output voltages to increase, thereby increasing output power beyond the UQQ's specified rating, or cause output voltages to climb into the output overvoltage region.

Therefore, when ordering these heat sinks, use the model numbers below which end with the `UVQ' suffix. The UQQ series converter baseplate can be attached either to an enclosure wall or a heatsink to remove heat from internal power dissipation. The discussion below concerns only the heatsink alternative. The UQQ's are available with a low-profile extruded aluminum heatsink kit, models HS-QB25-UVQ, HS-QB50-UVQ, and HS-QB100-UVQ. This kit includes the heatsink, thermal mounting pad, screws and mounting hardware. See the assembly diagram below. Do not overtighten the screws in the tapped holes in the converter. This kit adds excellent thermal performance without sacrificing too much component height. See the Mechanical Outline Drawings for assembled dimensions. If the thermal pad is firmly attached, no thermal compound ("thermal grease") is required. The HS-QB25-UVQ heatsink has a thermal resistance of 12 degrees Celsius per Watt of internal heat dissipation with "natural convection" airflow (no fans or other mechanical airflow) at sea level altitude. This thermal resistance assumes that the heatsink is firmly attached using the supplied thermal pad and that there is no nearby wall or enclosure surface to inhibit the airflow. The thermal pad adds a negligible series resistance of approximately 0.5C/Watt so that the total assembled resistance is 12.5C/Watt. When assembling these kits onto the converter, include ALL kit hardware to assure adequate mechanical capture and proper clearances. Thread relief is 0.090" (2.3mm). Be aware that we need to handle only the internal heat dissipation, not the full power output of the converter. This internal heat dissipation is related to the efficiency as follows: Power Dissipation [Pd] = Power In - Power Out [1] Power Out / Power In = Efficiency [in %] / 100 [2] Power Dissipation [Pd] = Power In x (1 -Efficiency%/100) [3] Power Dissipation [Pd] = Power Out x (1 / (Efficiency%/100) - 1) [4] Efficiency of course varies with input voltage and the total output power. Please refer to the Performance Curves. 0!. (%!$ 3#2%7 - 8 - 0,#3 Since many applications do include fans, here is an approximate equation to calculate the net thermal resistance: R4 [at airflow] = R4 [natural convection] / (1 + (Airflow in LFM) x [Airflow Constant]) [5] ,/#+ 7!3(%2 - 0,#3 &,!4 7!3(%2 ./ 0,#3 (%!43).+ (%!4 42!.3&%2 0!$ 0EEL OFF WHITE PLASTIC BACKING MATERIAL BEFORE ATTACHING TO HEATSINK Figure 7. Model UQQ Heatsink Assembly Diagram Where, R4 [at airflow] is the net thermal resistance (in C/W) with the amount of airflow available and, R4 [natural convection] is the still air total path thermal resistance or in this case 12.5C/Watt and, "Airflow in LFM" is the net air movement flow rate immediately at the converter. This equation simplifies an otherwise complex aerodynamic model but is a useful starting point. The "Airflow Constant" is dependent on the fan and enclosure geometry. For example, if 200 LFM of airflow reduces the effective natural convection thermal resistance by one half, the airflow constant would be 0.005. There is no practical way to publish a "one size fits all" airflow constant because of variations in airflow direction, heatsink orientation, adjacent walls, enclosure geometry, etc. Each application must be determined empirically and the equation is primarily a way to help understand the cooling arithmetic. This equation basically says that small amounts of forced airflow are quite effective removing the heat. But very high airflows give diminishing returns. Conversely, no forced airflow causes considerable heat buildup. At zero airflow, cooling occurs only because of natural convection over the heatsink. Natural convection is often well below 50 LFM, not much of a breeze. While these equations are useful as a conceptual aid, most users find it very difficult to measure actual airflow rates at the converter. Even if you know the velocity specifications of the fan, this does not usually relate directly to the enclosure geometry. Be sure to use a considerable safety margin doing thermal analysis. If in doubt, measure the actual heat sink temperature with a calibrated thermocouple, RTD or thermistor. Safe operation should keep the heat sink below 100C. www.murata-ps.com/support MDC_UQQ.C03 Page 16 of 18 UQQ Series Wide Input Range Single Output DC/DC Converters Calculating Maximum Power Dissipation Heat Sink Example To determine the maximum amount of internal power dissipation, find the ambient temperature inside the enclosure and the airflow (in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) at the converter. Determine the expected heat dissipation using the Efficiency curves and the converter Input Voltage. You should also compensate for lower atmospheric pressure if your application altitude is considerably above sea level. Assume an efficiency of 92% and power output of 100 Watts. Using equation [4], Pd is about 8.7 Watts at an input voltage of 48 Volts. Using +30C ambient temperature inside the enclosure, we wish to limit the heat sink temperature to +90C maximum baseplate temperature to stay well away from thermal shutdown. The +90C. figure also allows some margin in case the ambient climbs above +30C or the input voltage varies, giving us less than 92% efficiency. The heat sink and airflow combination must have the following characteristics: The general proceedure is to compute the expected temperature rise of the heatsink. If the heatsink exceeds +100C. either increase the airflow and/or reduce the power output. Start with this equation: Internal Heat Dissipation [Pd in Watts] = (Ts - Ta)/R4 [at airflow] [6] where "Ta" is the enclosure ambient air temperature and, where "Ts" is the heatsink temperature and, where "R4 [at airflow]" is a specific heat transfer thermal resistance (in degrees Celsius per Watt) for a particular heat sink at a set airflow rate. We have already estimated R4 [at airflow] in the equations above. Note particularly that Ta is the air temperature inside the enclosure at the heatsink, not the outside air temperature. Most enclosures have higher internal temperatures, especially if the converter is "downwind" from other heat-producing circuits. Note also that this "Pd" term is only the internal heat dissipated inside the converter and not the total power output of the converter. 8.7 W = (90-30) / R4[airflow] or, R4[airflow] = 60/8.7 = 6.9C/W Since the ambient thermal resistance of the heatsink and pad is 12.5C/W, we need additional forced cooling to get us down to 6.9C/W. Using a hypothetical airflow constant of 0.005, we can rearrange equation [5] as follows: (Required Airflow, LFM) x (Airflow Constant) = R4[Nat.Convection] / R4[at airflow] -1, or, (Required Airflow, LFM) x (Airflow Constant) = 12.5/6.9 -1 = 0.81 and, rearranging again, (Required Airflow, LFM) = 0.81/0.005 = 162 LFM 162 LFM is the minumum airflow to keep the heatsink below +90C. Increase the airflow to several hundred LFM to reduce the heatsink temperature further and improve life and reliability. We can rearrange this equation to give an estimated temperature rise of the heatsink as follows: 2.28 (57.91) Ts = (Pd x R4 [at airflow]) + Ta [7] 1.860 (47.24) Heatsink Kit * Model Number Still Air (Natural convection) thermal resistance Heatsink height (see drawing) HS-QB25-UVQ 12C/Watt 0.25" (6.35mm) HS-QB50-UVQ 10.6C/Watt 0.50" (12.7mm) HS-QB100-UVQ 8C/Watt 1.00" (25.4mm) 1.03 1.45 (26.16) (36.83) * Kit includes heatsink, thermal pad and mounting hardware.

Vertical Wind Tunnel Murata Power Solutions, Inc. 11 Cabot Boulevard, Mansfield, MA 02048-1151 U.S.A. ISO 9001 and 14001 REGISTERED 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 both 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 airflow collimator mixes the heat from the heating element to make uniform temperature distribution. The collimator also reduces the amount of turbulence adjacent to the UUT by restoring laminar airflow. Such turbulence can change the effective heat transfer characteristics and give 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.
