topology
Stable no-load operation with no required
external components
Operating temperature range -40 to +85°C
with derating
Certifi ed to UL/EN/IEC 60950-1, CAN/CSA
C22.2 No. 60950-1, EN60950-1 safety
approvals, 2nd Edition
Extensive self-protection shut down features
The world of “brick” DC/DC converters has seen
a steady size reduction. The ULS series makes an-
other dramatic size shrink down to a “sixteenth-
brick” width (0.91 inches) while still retaining up
to 30Watt output and full 2250 Volt DC isolation.
The PC-board mount converter family accepts
36to 75 Volts DC inputs and delivers fi xed outputs
regulated to within ±0.125%. 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 -20% to
+10% of nominal output while delivering fast set-
tling to current step loads and no adverse effects
from higher capacitive loads. Excellent ripple and
noise specifi cations assure compatibility to circuits
using CPU’s, ASIC’s, programmable logic and
FPGAs. 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.
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 indefi nitely.
Additional features include output overvoltage and
reverse conduction elimination.
The synchronous rectifi er forward topology
yields high effi ciency for minimal heat buildup and
“no fan” operation.

Unless otherwise noted, all specifi cations are typical at nominal input voltage, nominal output voltage
and full load. General conditions are +25° Celsius ambient temperature, near sea level altitude,
natural convection airfl ow. All models are tested and specifi ed with external parallel 1 μF and 10 μF
multi-layer ceramic output capacitors. The external input capacitor is 22 μF ceramic. All capacitors
are low-ESR types wired close to the converter. These capacitors are necessary for our test equip-
ment and may not be needed in the user's application.
Input (back) ripple current is tested and specifi ed over 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input fi ltering is
Cbus = 220 μF/100V, Cin = 33 μF/100V and Lbus = 12 μH.
All models are stable and regulate to specifi cation under no load.
Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance is to RoHS-6 (six substances restricted
including lead). See specifi cations.
The Remote On/Off Control is referred to -Vin.

Performance Specifi cation Notes
Unless otherwise noted, all specifi cations are typical at nominal input voltage, nominal output voltage
and full load. General conditions are +25° Celsius ambient temperature, near sea level altitude,
natural convection airfl ow. All models are tested and specifi ed with external parallel 1 μF and 10 μF
multi-layer ceramic output capacitors. The external input capacitor is 22 μF ceramic. All capacitors
are low-ESR types wired close to the converter. These capacitors are necessary for our test equip-
ment and may not be needed in the user's application.
Input (back) ripple current is tested and specifi ed over 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input fi ltering is
Cbus = 220 μF/100V, Cin = 33 μF/100V and Lbus = 12 μH.
All models are stable and regulate to specifi cation under no load.
Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance is to RoHS-6 (six substances restricted
including lead). See specifi cations.
The Remote On/Off Control is referred to -Vin.
Regulation specifi cations describe the output voltage changes as the line voltage or load current is
varied from its nominal or midpoint value to either extreme.

I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise
All models in the ULS Series are tested/specifi ed for input refl ected ripple
current and output noise using the specifi ed external input/output components/
circuits and layout as shown in the following two fi gures. External input capaci-
tors (CIN in Figure 2) serve primarily as energy-storage elements, minimiz-
ing 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 sta-
bility. In Figure 2, CBUS and LBUS simulate a typical dc voltage bus. Your specifi c
system confi guration may necessitate additional considerations.
In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and
random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specifi ed limits using fi lter-
ing techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional external
output capacitors. They function as true fi lter 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.
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “fl oating” 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-rectifi er 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.
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 effi ciency.
All relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must
be observed by the installer. For system safety agency approvals, the convert-
ers must be installed in compliance with the requirements of the end- use
safety standard, i.e. IEC/EN/UL60950-1.
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.
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 specifi ed accuracy band. Actual
measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capaci-
tance, and the slew rate and fi nal 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
specifi cation defi nes the interval between the point at which the converter is
turned on (released) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains
within its specifi ed 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 insignifi cant.
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 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.

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 mag-
netically 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 appropri-
ate 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
indefi nite short circuit output condition.
On/Off Control
The input-side, remote On/Off Control function can be ordered to operate with
either logic type:
Positive ("P" suffi x) logic models are enabled when the on/off pin is
left open (or is pulled high, applying +10V to +15V with respect to –Input).
Positive-logic devices are disabled when the on/off pin is pulled low (0 to 0.7V
with respect to –Input).
Negative (“N” suffi x) 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 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 Specifi cations) 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.
Thermal Shutdown
The ULS converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If environ-
mental 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
Specifi cations.
Output Over-Voltage Protection
The ULS output voltage is monitored for an over-voltage condition using a com-
parator. The signal is optically coupled to the primary side and if the output volt-
age 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 condi-
tion, 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 defi ned
as the point at which the full-power output voltage falls below the specifi ed
tolerance. See Performance/Functional Specifi cations. If the load current, being
drawn from the converter, is signifi cant enough, the unit will go into a short
circuit condition as described below.

Remote Sense (ULS-3.3/8-D48 and ULS-5/6-D48 models only)
Note: The Sense and VOUT lines are internally connected through low-value
resistors. Nevertheless, if the sense function is not used for remote regula-
tion 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(–)] d 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 volt-
age 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 Speci-
cations 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 func-
tions can cause output voltages to increase, thereby increasing output power
beyond the converter’s specifi ed rating, or cause output voltages to climb into
the output over-voltage region. Therefore, the designer must ensure:

SMT Refl ow Soldering Guidelines
The surface-mount refl ow solder profi le shown below is suitable for SAC305 type lead-
free solders. This graph should be used only as a guideline. Many other factors infl uence
the success of SMT refl ow soldering. Since your production environment may differ,
please thoroughly review these guidelines with your process engineers.
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.
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.

Emissions Performance
Murata Power Solutions measures its products for radio frequency emissions
against the EN 55022 and CISPR 22 standards. Passive resistance loads are
employed and the output is set to the maximum voltage. If you set up your
own emissions testing, make sure the output load is rated at continuous power
while doing the tests.
The recommended external input and output capacitors (if required) are
included. Please refer to the fundamental switching frequency. All of this
information is listed in the Product Specifi cations. An external discrete fi lter is
installed and the circuit diagram is shown below.

[3] Layout Recommendations
Most applications can use the fi ltering which is already installed inside the
converter or with the addition of the recommended external capacitors. For
greater emissions suppression, consider additional fi lter components and/or
shielding. Emissions performance will depend on the user’s PC board layout,
the chassis shielding environment and choice of external components. Please
refer to Application Note GEAN-02 for further discussion.
Since many factors affect both the amplitude and spectra of emissions, we
recommend using an engineer who is experienced at emissions suppression.

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
airfl ow and heat dissipation analysis of power products.
The system includes a precision low fl ow-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
airfl ow studies are possible by rotation of this carrier board
since there are often signifi cant differences in the heat
dissipation in the two airfl ow directions. The combination of
adjustable airfl ow, 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 airfl ow turbulence. Such turbu-
lence infl uences 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.
