DATEL's fully isolated UHP series of DC/DC converters affords users a practical
solution for their low-voltage/high-current applications. With an input voltage range of
36 to 75 Volts, the UHP Series delivers up to 60 Amps of output current from a fully
regulated 1.5V or 1.8V output, or 50 Amps of 2.5V and 45 Amps of 3.3V. Using
both surface-mount technology and planar magnetics, these converters are manu-
factured on a 2.3" x 2.4" open-frame package with an industry-standard pinout
configuration.
UHP converters utilize a full-bridge, fixed-frequency topology along with syn-
chronous output rectification to achieve a high efficiency of 89%. This efficiency,
coupled with the open-frame package that allows unrestricted air flow, reduces
internal component temperatures thereby allowing operation at elevated ambient
temperatures.
These DC/DC's provide output trim, sense pins and primary side on/off control
(available with positive or negative logic) or sync. Standard features also include
input undervoltage shutdown circuitry, output overvoltage protection, output short-
circuit and current limiting protection and thermal shutdown. All devices meet
IEC/UL/EN60950 safety standards and carry the CE mark (meet LVD requirements).
CB reports are available on request.

TECHNICAL NOTES
Input Overvoltage Shutdown
The UHP Series does not feature input overvoltage shutdown. The converters
do withstand and fully operate during input transients to 100V for 100msec
without interruption; consequently, this function has been disabled. Please
contact DATEL to have input overvoltage shutdown enabled.
Input Source Impedance
The input of UHP 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 as close as possible to the DC/DC converter.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise
All models in the UHP Series are tested/specified for input reflected
ripple current and output noise using the specified external input/output
components/circuits and layout as shown in the following two figures.
External input capacitors (C
IN
in Figure 2) serve primarily as energy-storage
elements, minimizing 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 stability. In Figure 2, CBUS and LBUS simulate
a typical dc voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may necessitate
additional considerations.
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 UHP Series DC/DC Converters, we recommend
the use of slow-blow type fuses, installed in the ungrounded input supply line,
with values no greater than the following.

All relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must
be observed by the installer. For system safety agency approvals, the
converters must be installed in compliance with the requirements of the end-
use safety standard, i.e. IEC/EN/UL60950.
Input Reverse-Polarity Protection
The UHP Series does not have reverse polarity protection. If the input
voltage polarity is accidentally reversed, an internal diode will become for-
ward biased. The current howerver is limited to 1.6A. If this current is
exceeded, it could cause permanent damage to the converter.
Input Undervoltage 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
(33V typ.). Once operating, devices will not turn off until the input voltage
drops below the Undervoltage Shutdown limit (31.5V typ.). Subsequent re-
start will not occur until the input is brought back up to the Start-Up Thresh-
old. This built in hysteresis prevents any unstable on/off situations from
occurring at a single input voltage.
Start-Up Time
The V
IN
to V
OUT
Start-Up Time is the interval of time between the point
at which the ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and
the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within 90% of V
OUT
.
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 at the converter. The UHP Series implements a soft start circuit that
limits the duty cycle of its PWM controller at power up, thereby limiting the
input inrush current.
The On/Off Control to V
OUT
start-up time assumes the converter has its
nominal input voltage applied but is turned off via the On/Off Control pin. The
specification defines the interval between the point at which the converter is
turned on (released) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains
within its specified accuracy band.
Similar to the V
IN
to V
OUT
start-up, the On/Off Control to V
OUT
start-up
time is also governed by the internal soft start circuitry and external load
capacitance. The difference in start up time from V

to V

and from On/Off
Control to V

is therefore insignificant.

Figure 2. Measuring Input Ripple Current
In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and
random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits using
filtering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional
external output capacitors. They function as true filter 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.

UHP Models
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. Our Applications Engineers can recommend potential solutions
and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given device's internal filtering
to meet your specific requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering
Group for additional details.
In Figure 3, the two copper strips simulate real-world PCB impedances
between the power supply and its load. In order to minimize measurement
errors, scope measurements should be made using BNC connectors, or the
probe ground should be as short as possible (i.e. less than ½ inch) and
soldered directly to the fixture.
output voltage to ramp to its appropriate value. If the fault condition persists,
and the output voltage again climbs to excessive levels, the overvoltage
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 110% 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 defined
as the point at which the full-power output voltage falls below the specified
tolerance. See Performance/Functional Specifications. If the load current,
being drawn from the converter, is significant enough, the unit will go into a
short circuit condition as described below.

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
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 to their
appropriate 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 UHP Series is
capable of enduring an indefinite short circuit output condition.
Figure 3. Measuring Output Ripple/Noise (PARD)
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating" with
respect to their input. Designers will normally use the –Output (pin 9) as the
ground/return of the load circuit. You can however, use the +Output (pin 5) as
ground/return to effectively reverse the output polarity.
Minimum Output Loading Requirements
UHP converters employ a synchronous-rectifier design topology and all
models regulate within spec and are stable under no-load to full load condi-
tions. Operation under no-load conditions however might slightly increase the
output ripple and noise.
Thermal Shutdown
The UHP converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If envi-
ronmental 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 Specifications.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The UHP output voltage is monitored for an overvoltage condition using a
comparator. The signal is optically coupled to the primary side and if the
output voltage rises to a level which could be damaging to the load, the sens-
ing circuitry will power down the PWM controller causing the output voltage
to decrease. Following a time-out period the PWM will restart, causing the
