PRODUCT OVERVIEW
For efficient, fully isolated DC power in the small-
est space, Murata Power Solutions' UVQ series
quarter bricks offer output voltages from 1.5
to 48 Volts with currents up to 40 Amps. UVQs
operate over a wide temperature range (up to
+70°C at 200 lfm airflow) at full-rated power. The
optional mounting baseplate extends this to all
practical temperature ranges at full power.
UVQs achieve these impressive specifications
while delivering excellent electrical performance.
Overall noise is 35mVp-p (3.3V models) with fast
step response (down to 50µsec). These convert-
ers offer high stability even with no load and
tight output regulation. The unit is fully protected
against input over and undervoltage, output over-
current and short circuit. An on-board temperature
sensor shuts down the converter if thermal limits
are reached. Protection uses the “hiccup” (auto
restart) method.
UVQ Series
Low Profile, Isolated Quarter Brick
2.5–40 Amp DC-DC Converters
A convenient remote On/Off control input oper-
ates by external digital logic, relay or transistor
input. To compensate for longer wiring and to
retain output voltage accuracy at the load, UVQs
include a Sense input to dynamically correct for
ohmic losses. A trim input may be connected to a
user’s adjustment potentiometer or trim resis-
tors for output voltage calibration closer than the
standard accuracy.
UVQs include industry-standard safety certifica-
tions and BASIC I/O insulation provides 2250 Volt
input/output isolation. Radiation emission testing
is performed to widely-accepted EMC standards.
The UVQs may be considered as higher perfor-
mance replacements for some Murata Power
Solutions USQ models.

standard product.
UVQ Pin 9 Baseplate Connection
The UVQ series may include an optional installed baseplate for extended
thermal management. Various UVQ models (see list below) are also available
with an additional pin 9 on special order which connects to the baseplate but is
electrically isolated from the rest of the converter. Please refer to the mechani-
cal drawings.
Pin 9 offers a positive method of controlling the electrical potential of the
baseplate, independent of the converter. Some baseplate models cannot
include pin 9 and in such cases, the baseplate is grounded by the mounting
bolts. Or consider adding an external lugged washer with a grounding terminal.
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.
Models available with Pin 9:
UVQ-12/10-D48
UVQ-1.5/40-D24
Models which are NOT available with Pin 9:
UVQ-5/20-D24 and –D48
UVQ-3.3/30-D24
UVQ-3.3/35-D48
UVQ-2.5/35-D24
UVQ-2.5/40-D48
Other models which are not listed will be reviewed for future pin 9 accomo-
dation.
