BEI15 Series www.murata-ps.com Isolated Wide Input Bipolar 15-Watt DC/DC Converters Typical unit FEATURES PRODUCT OVERVIEW Small footprint DC/DC converter, ideal for high current applications Featuring a full 15 Watt output in one square inch of board area, the BEI-15 series isolated DC/ DC converter family offers efficient regulated DC power for printed circuit board mounting. The wide range 4:1 inputs on the 0.96" x 1.1" x 0.35" (24.4 x 27.9 x 8.9 mm) 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 of 5, 12 or 15 VDC are regulated to within 0.25%. Applications include small instruments, arealimited microcontrollers, data communications equipment, remote sensor systems, vehicle and portable electronics. The BEI-15 series includes full magnetic and optical isolation with Basic protection up to Industry standard 0.96" x 1.1" X 0.35" open frame package and pinout Wide range input voltages 9-36 and 18-75 Vdc Bipolar 5V, 12V and 15V outputs Up to 15 Watts or greater total output power with overtemperature shutdown Isolation up to 2250 VDC (basic), Q48 models High efficiency synchronous rectifier forward topology Usable -40 to 85C temperature range (with derating) 2250 Volts DC (Q48 models) and 2000 VDC (Q12 models). For powering digital systems, the outputs offer fast settling to step transients and will accept higher capacitive loads. Excellent ripple and noise specifications assure compatibility to noise-susceptible circuits. For systems requiring controlled startup/shutdown, an external remote On/Off control may use a switch, transistor or digital logic. A wealth of self-protection features avoid both converter and external circuit faults. These include input undervoltage lockout and overtemperature shutdown. The outputs current limit using the "hiccup" autorestart technique and the outputs are short-circuit protected. Additional features include output overvoltage and reverse conduction elimination. The high efficiency offers minimal heat buildup and "no fan" operation.

Fuses should also be used when there is the possibility of sustained input voltage reversal which is not current-limited. For greatest safety, we recommend a fast blow fuse installed in the ungrounded input supply line. The installer must observe all relevant safety standards and regulations. For safety agency approvals, install the converter in compliance with the end-user safety standard. Input Under-Voltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold Under normal start-up conditions, converters will not begin to regulate properly until the rising input voltage exceeds and remains at the Start-Up Threshold Voltage (see Specifications). Once operating, converters will not turn off until the input voltage drops below the Under-Voltage Shutdown Limit. Subsequent restart will not occur until the input voltage rises again above the Start-Up Threshold. This built-in hysteresis prevents any unstable on/off operation at a single input voltage. Users should be aware however of input sources near the Under-Voltage Shutdown whose voltage decays as input current is consumed (such as poorly regulated capacitor inputs), the converter shuts off and then restarts as the external capacitor recharges. Such situations could oscillate. To prevent this, make sure the operating input voltage is well above the UV Shutdown voltage AT ALL TIMES. Start-Up Delay Assuming that the output current is set at the rated maximum, the Vin to Vout Start-Up Delay (see Specifications) is the time interval between the point when the rising input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the fully loaded regulated output voltage enters and remains within its specified regulation band. Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capacitance, input voltage slew rate and final value of the input voltage as it appears at the converter. These converters include a soft start circuit to moderate the duty cycle of the PWM controller at power up, thereby limiting the input inrush current. The On/Off Remote Control interval from inception to Vout regulated assumes that the converter already has its input voltage stabilized above the Start-Up Threshold before the On command. The interval is measured from the On command until the output enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. The specification assumes that the output is fully loaded at maximum rated current. Recommended Input Filtering The user must assure that the input source has low AC impedance to provide dynamic stability and that the input supply has little or no inductive content, including long distributed wiring to a remote power supply. The converter will operate with no additional external capacitance if these conditions are met. For best performance, we recommend installing a low-ESR capacitor immediately adjacent to the converter's input terminals. The capacitor should be a ceramic type such as the Murata GRM32 series or a polymer type. Initial suggested capacitor values are 10 to 22 F, rated at twice the expected maximum input voltage. Make sure that the input terminals do not go below the undervoltage shutdown voltage at all times. More input bulk capacitance may be added in parallel (either electrolytic or tantalum) if needed. Recommended Output Filtering The converter will achieve its rated output ripple and noise with no additional external capacitor. However, the user may install more external output capacitance to reduce the ripple even further or for improved dynamic response. Again, use low-ESR ceramic (Murata GRM32 series) or polymer capacitors. Initial values of 10 to 47 F may be tried, either single or multiple capacitors in parallel. Mount these close to the converter. Measure the output ripple under your load conditions. Use only as much capacitance as required to achieve your ripple and noise objectives. Excessive capacitance can make step load recovery sluggish or possibly introduce instability. Do not exceed the maximum rated output capacitance listed in the specifications. Input Ripple Current and Output Noise All models in this converter series are tested and specified for input reflected ripple current and output noise using designated external input/output components, circuits and layout as shown in the figures below. The Cbus and Lbus components simulate a typical DC voltage bus. Please note that the values of Cin, Lbus and Cbus may vary according to the specific converter model.

Operation under no load might however slightly increase output ripple and noise. Thermal Shutdown To protect against thermal overstress, these converters include thermal shutdown circuitry. If environmental conditions cause the temperature of the DC/ DC's to rise above the Operating Temperature Range up to the shutdown temperature, an on-board electronic temperature sensor will power down the unit. When the temperature decreases below the turn-on threshold, the converter will automatically restart. There is a small amount of temperature hysteresis to prevent rapid on/off cycling. CAUTION: If you operate too close to the thermal limits, the converter may shut down suddenly without warning. Be sure to thoroughly test your application to avoid unplanned thermal shutdown. Temperature Derating Curves The graphs in this data sheet illustrate typical operation under a variety of conditions. The Derating curves show the maximum continuous ambient air temperature and decreasing maximum output current which is acceptable under increasing forced airflow measured in Linear Feet per Minute ("LFM"). Note that these are AVERAGE measurements. The converter will accept brief increases in current or reduced airflow as long as the average is not exceeded. Note that the temperatures are of the ambient airflow, not the converter itself which is obviously running at higher temperature than the outside air. Also note that very low flow rates (below about 25 LFM) are similar to "natural convection", that is, not using fan-forced airflow. Murata Power Solutions makes Characterization measurements in a closed cycle wind tunnel with calibrated airflow. We use both thermocouples and an infrared camera system to observe thermal performance. CAUTION: If you exceed these Derating guidelines, the converter may have an unplanned Over Temperature shut down. Also, these graphs are all collected near Sea Level altitude. Be sure to reduce the derating for higher altitude. Output Current Limiting Current limiting inception is defined as the point at which full power falls below the rated tolerance. See the Performance/Functional Specifications. Note particularly that the output current may briefly rise above its rated value in normal operation as long as the average output power is not exceeded. This enhances reliability and continued operation of your application. If the output current is too high, the converter will enter the short circuit condition. Output 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 (approximately 98% of nominal output voltage for most models), the PWM controller will shut down. Following a time-out period, the PWM will restart, causing the output voltage to begin rising to its appropriate value. If the short-circuit condition persists, another shutdown cycle will initiate. This rapid on/off cycling is called "hiccup mode". The hiccup cycling reduces the average output current, thereby preventing excessive internal temperatures and/or component damage. Remote On/Off Control The remote On/Off Control can be specified with either logic logic type. Please refer to the Connection Diagram on page 1 for On/Off connections. Positive-logic models are enabled when the On/Off pin is left open or is pulled high to +Vin with respect to -Vin. Therefore, the On/Off control can be disconnected if the converter should always be on. Positive-logic devices are disabled when the On/Off is grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see Specifications) with respect to -Vin. Negative-logic devices are on (enabled) when the On/Off pin is grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see Specifications) with respect to -Vin. The device is off (disabled) when the On/Off is pulled high (see Specifications) with respect to -Vin. Dynamic control of the On/Off function must sink the specified signal current when brought low and withstand the specified voltage when brought high. Be aware too that there is a finite time in milliseconds (see Specifications) between the time of On/Off Control activation and stable, regulated output. This time will vary slightly with output load type and current and input conditions. Output Capacitive Load These converters do not require external capacitance added to achieve rated specifications. Users should only consider adding capacitance to reduce switching noise and/or to handle spike current load steps. Install only enough capacitance to achieve your noise and surge response objectives. Excess external capacitance may cause regulation problems and possible oscillation or instability. The maximum rated output capacitance and ESR specification is given for a capacitor installed immediately adjacent to the converter. Floating Outputs Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating." Any BEI15 model may be configured to produce an output of 10V, 24V or 30V (for 5V, 12V or 15V models, respectively) by applying the load across the +Output and -Output pins, with either output grounded. The Common pin should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is recommended under these conditions.
