PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Wide range 4:1 inputs on the 0.96" x 1.1" x 0.32"
converter are either 9 to 36 Volts DC (Q12 models)
or 18 to 75 Volts DC (Q48 models), ideal for battery-
powered and telecom equipment. The industry-
standard pinout fits larger 1" x 2" converters. Fixed
output voltages from 3.3 VDC to 15 VDC are regu-
lated to within ±0.2% or less and may be trimmed
within ±10% of nominal output. Applications
include small instruments, area-limited microcon-
trollers, computer-based systems, data communi-
cations equipment, remote sensor systems, vehicle
and portable electronics.
The UEI 15W series includes full magnetic and
optical isolation up to 2250 Volts DC (basic insula-
tion). For connection to digital systems, the outputs
offer fast settling to current step loads and toler-
ance of higher capacitive loads. Excellent ripple
and noise specifications assure compatibility to
circuits using CPU’s, ASIC’s, programmable logic
and FPGA’s. For systems requiring controlled
startup/shutdown, an external switch, transis-
tor or digital logic may be used to activate the
remote On/Off control.
A wealth of self-protection features avoid both
converter and external circuit problems. These
include input undervoltage lockout and overtem-
perature shutdown. The outputs current limit using
the “hiccup” autorestart technique and the outputs
may be short-circuited indefinitely. Additional
features include output overvoltage and reverse
conduction elimination.
The high efficiency offers minimal heat buildup
and “no fan” operation.

(4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-
332 Method 1, Case 3, ground fixed conditions, Tpcboard=+25 deg.C, full load,
natural air convection.
(5) The On/Off Control is normally controlled by a switch. But it may also 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 or open drain transistor.
(6) Output current limiting begins when the output voltage degrades
approximately 2% from the selected setting.
(7) The outputs are not intended to sink appreciable reverse current. This may
damage the outputs.
(8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Fil-
tering and Noise Reduction.
(9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including
“cold start” at –40°C.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximums are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to greater than any
of these conditions may adversely affect long-term reliability. Proper operation
under conditions other than those listed in the Performance/Functional Specifi-
cations is neither implied nor recommended.

(1) All models are tested and specified with external capacitors listed in the
table below. The external capacitors listed below are ONLY for establishing test
specifications. They are required for our test fixtures and equipment. Your applica-
tion may not need them. The converter is stable with no external capacitors but
Murata Power Solutions strongly recommends external caps. All caps are low-ESR
types. Where two or more capacitors are listed, these are connected in parallel. All
caps should mount close to the DC/DC using short leads.
All specifications are typical unless noted. General conditions for Specifica-
tions are +25 deg.C, V
IN
=nominal, V
OUT
=nominal, full load. Adequate airflow must
be supplied for extended testing under power.
(2) Input Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5 Hz to 20 MHz band-
width. Input filtering is C
IN
=33 μF, 100V tantalum, C
BUS
=220 μF, 100V electro-
lytic, L
BUS
=12 μH.
(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 density altitude.
(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) The output overvoltage protection is automatic recovery after fault
removal. The overvoltage may occur either from internal failure or from an
external forcing voltage as in a shared power system.
(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.
(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) If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, to ensure reverse in-
put protection with full output load, always connect an external input
fuse
in series
with the +V
IN
input. Use approximately twice the full load input current rating at
minimum input voltage.
(16) “Hiccup” operation repeatedly attempts to restart the converter with a
brief, full-current output. If the overcurrent condition still exists, the restart current
will be removed and then tried again. This short current pulse prevents over-
heating and damaging the converter. Once the fault is removed, the converter
immediately recovers normal operation.
(17) On model UEI15-050-Q48, if V
IN
<20V, output trim may only be adjusted
downwards from +5.0V (more negative).

cations. However, they will not be damaged at zero output load.
