PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Murata Power Solutions' new A-Series switching DC/DC converters are designed to meet the
demanding long-term-reliability and low-cost requirements of modern telecom, datacom, computer/
networking and industrial-electronics applications. These highly-efficient, rugged devices combine
straightforward circuit topologies, new components, proven SMT-on-pcb construction methods, and
highly repeatable automatic-assembly techniques. The flexibility of the designs and their assembly
methods readily permit minor modifications to optimize performance for specific applications.
The single-output, 14-20 Watt Models of the A-Series deliver both high power densities and
impressive MTBF’s.
Packaged in standard, 2" x 2" x 0.45", shielded metal cases with non-conductive coatings, these
fully isolated (1500Vdc minimum) DC/DC’s offer excellent line/load regulation, full I/O protection,
thermal shutdown, and industry-standard pinouts.
Output voltages include 3.3, 5, 5.2, 12 or 15 Volts. Input voltage ranges are Murata Power Solu-
tions' traditional ultra-wide 9-36V and 18-75V, as well as 4.7-7.5V. Each device provides remote on/
off control and V
OUT
trim capability. All A-Series UWR models are fully EMI characterized and designed
to meet UL1950, CSA 950 and IEC 950 safety.
A-Series DC/DC’s are extremely reliable, easy-to-use, cost-effective power converters. Use them
to improve the reliability of existing equipment or to develop
new systems that exceed design objectives.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating."
Users may ground either the Common (pin 7) for normal usage or the posi-
tive side (+Output, pin 6) to effectively reverse the output polarity.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All A-Series UWR 14-20 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple
and noise specifications without the use of external input/output capaci-
tors. In critical applications, input/output noise may be further reduced by
installing electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-ESR
tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. The caps
should be located as close to the power converters as possible. Typical
values are listed below. In many applications, using values greater than
those listed will yield better results.

These converters require a minimum 10% loading to maintain specified regulation. Operation
under no-load conditions will not damage these devices; however they may not meet all listed
specifications.
➁
Applying a voltage to the Control pin when no input power is applied to the converter can
cause permanent damage to the converter. TTL Logic High of +3.3V to +5V max will disable
the converter.

"D48A" models have BASIC, all other models have Functional insulation. Devices can be

Single Output, High Reliability, 2" x 2", 14-20 Watt, DC/DC Converters
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of
fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. For Murata Power
Solutions A-Series UWR 14-20 Watt DC/DC Converters, you should use
slow-blow type fuses
with values no greater than the following:
V
IN
Range
D5A
D12A
D48A/D48E
On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin (pin 4) may be used for remote on/off operation. A
TTL logic high (+2 to +5 Volts, 250µA max.) applied to pin 4 disables the
converter. A TTL logic low (0 to +0.8 Volts, 70µA max.), or no connection,
enables the converter. Control voltages should be referenced to pin 2
(–Input). Applying a voltage to the Control pin when no input power is
applied to the converter can cause permanent damage to the converter.
Output Trimming
V
OUT
may be trimmed up +5% only via a single external trimpot or fixed
resistor. The trimpot should be connected as shown in Figure 2a with its
wiper connected to pin 8 (Trim). A trimpot can be used to determine the
value of a single fixed resistor which should be connected as shown in
Figure 2b. Connect the resistor between pins 8 and 7 (Common) to trim
"up" the output voltage. Fixed resistors should be metal-film types with
absolute TCR’s less than 100ppm/°C to ensure stability.
