RoHS-6 construction/attach
The high effi ciency, low noise and long-term
reliability that defi nes DATEL DC/DC Converters
now comes to you in the standard “half-brick” con-
guration (2.3˝ x 2.4˝ x 0.40˝). Our new UCH Series
is certi ed to UL/EN60950-1 safety requirements
(some models pending), including each European
country’s deviations. All models have BASIC insula-
tion; guarantee 2250Vdc (in to out) isolation; and
because they are designed with Class B thermal
insulation, satisfy all safety requirements over their
full operating temperatures. Construction/attach
meets stringent RoHS-6 specifi cations.
UCH Models are designed for demanding tele-
com, datacom and networking applications. Their
“semi-synchronous-rectifi er” design achieves
impressive effi ciencies. Output voltages are
1.8to15 Volts. The input voltage range is 36 to 75
or 18 to 36 Volts. All models meet the Low Voltage
Directive (LVD).
For high reliability and affordability, DATEL
utilizes high-speed automatic assembly to
construct the UCH’s proven SMT-on-pcb designs.
An optional baseplate offers full output power at
maximum temperature.
UCH’s feature input fi lters, input undervoltage
and overvoltage lockout, output current limiting,
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
Additionally, all devices have output trim capability
and an on/off control pin that can be ordered with
either polarity.

Specifi cation Notes:
(1) All models are tested and specifi ed with external 1 μF paralleled with 10 μF output capacitors
and no external input capacitor. All capacitors are low ESR types. These capacitors are necessary to
accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve specifi ed performance in your
applications. All models are stable and regulate within spec under no-load conditions.
All specifi cations are typical unless noted. General conditions for Specifi cations are +25°C,
Vin=nominal, Vout=nominal, full load. Adequate airfl ow must be supplied for extended testing under
power.
(2) Input Back Ripple Current is tested and specifi ed over a 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input fi ltering
is Cin=33 μF, 100V, Cbus=220 μF, 100V, Lbus=12 μH.
(3) Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal input voltage.
At higher temperatures and/or lower airfl ow, 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 pre-
sented at sea level altitude. Be aware of reduced power dissipation with increasing altitude.
(4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case 3,
ground fi xed conditions, Tpcboard=+25°C, full load, natural air convection.
(5) The On/Off Control is normally selected by a switch or an open collector or open drain transistor.
But it may also be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages which are
referenced to Input Common and comply with the On/Off voltage specifi cations.
(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.
(8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external fi lter. Logic circuits with low power
voltages may have a small voltage margin between logic ZERO and logic ONE, requiring noise sup-
pression. Use only as much output fi ltering as needed to achieve your noise requirements. Excessive
output capacitance can retard transient response or possibly cause instability. Low ESR ceramic
capacitors may degrade dynamic performance. Be sure to thoroughly test your system under full load
with all components installed.
(9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifi cations, including “cold start” at –40°C.
At full power, the package temperature of all on-board components must not exceed +128°C.
(10) Regulation specifi cations 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. 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. After an output overcurrent or short circuit, “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 overheating and damaging the converter. Once the fault is removed, the converter immedi-
ately resumes normal operation.
(13) Do not exceed maximum power specifi cations when adjusting the output trim.
(14) At zero output current, the output may contain low frequency components which exceed the
ripple specifi cation. The output may be operated indefi nitely with no load.
(15) If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, to ensure reverse input protection with full
output load, always connect an external input fuse in series with the +Vin input. Use approximately
twice the full input current rating with nominal input voltage.
(16) Output accuracy is dependent on user-supplied trim resistors. To achieve high accuracy, use ±1%
or better tolerance metal-fi lm resistors mounted close to the converter.
(17) Normally, the Sense lines are connected at the remote load to compensate for IR voltage drops
in the power wiring and to improve dynamic response. If Sense is not used, each Sense pin should be
connected at the converter to its respective Vout pin.
CAUTION: This product is not internally fused. To comply with safety agency certifi cations and to
avoid injury to personnel or equipment, the user must connect an external fast-blow fuse to the input
terminals.

Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require fuses at the inputs of
power conversion components. 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, i.e. IEC/EN/UL 60950-1.
Input Reverse-Polarity Protection
If the input voltage polarity is reversed, an internal body diode will become
forward biased and likely draw excessive current from the power source. If this
source is not current-limited or the circuit appropriately fused, it could cause
permanent damage to the converter. Please be sure to install a properly-
rated external input fuse (see Specifi cations).
Input Under-Voltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold
Under normal start-up conditions, converters will not begin to regulate properly
until the ramping-up input voltage exceeds and remains at the Start-Up
Threshold Voltage (see Specifi cations). 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 opera-
tion 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 ca-
pacitor inputs), the converter shuts off and then restarts as the external capaci-
tor 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 Time
Assuming that the output current is set at the rated maximum, the Vin to Vout
Start-Up Time (see Specifi cations) is the time interval between the point when
the ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the fully loaded
regulated output voltage enters and remains within its specifi ed accuracy band.
Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input
capacitance, input voltage slew rate and fi nal value of the input voltage as it
appears at the converter.
These converters include a soft start circuit to moderate the duty cycle of its
PWM controller at power up, thereby limiting the input inrush current.
The On/Off Remote Control interval from On command 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 specifi ed accuracy
band. The specifi cation assumes that the output is fully loaded at maximum
rated current. Similar conditions apply to the On to Vout regulated specifi cation
such as external load capacitance and soft start circuitry.
TECHNICAL NOTES Input Source Impedance
These converters will operate to specifi cations without external components,
assuming that the source voltage has very low impedance and reasonable in-
put voltage regulation. Since real-world voltage sources have fi nite impedance,
performance is improved by adding external fi lter components. Sometimes only
a small ceramic capacitor is suffi cient. Since it is diffi cult to totally characterize
all applications, some experimentation may be needed. Note that external input
capacitors must accept high speed switching currents.
Because of the switching nature of DC/DC converters, the input of these
converters must be driven from a source with both low AC impedance and
adequate DC input regulation. Performance will degrade with increasing input
inductance. Excessive input inductance may inhibit operation. The DC input
regulation specifi es that the input voltage, once operating, must never degrade
below the Shut-Down Threshold under all load conditions. Be sure to use
adequate trace sizes and mount components close to the converter.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current and Output Noise
All models in this converter series are tested and specifi ed for input refl ected
ripple current and output noise using designated external input/output compo-
nents, circuits and layout as shown in the fi gures below. External input capaci-
tors (Cin in the fi gure) serve primarily as energy storage elements, minimizing
line voltage variations caused by transient IR drops in the input conductors.
Users should select input capacitors for bulk capacitance (at appropriate
frequencies), low ESR and high RMS ripple current ratings. In the fi gure below,
the Cbus and Lbus components simulate a typical DC voltage bus. Your specifi c
system confi guration may require additional considerations. Please note that
the values of Cin, Lbus and Cbus will vary according to the specifi c converter
model.
In critical applications, output ripple and noise (also referred to as periodic
and random deviations or PARD) may be reduced by adding fi lter elements
such as multiple external capacitors. Be sure to calculate component tempera-
ture rise from refl ected AC current dissipated inside capacitor ESR.
In the fi gure, the two copper strips simulate real-world printed circuit
impedances between the power supply and its load. In order to minimize circuit
errors and standardize tests between units, scope measurements should be
made using BNC connectors or the probe ground should not exceed one half
inch and soldered directly to the fi xture.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “fl oating” with
respect to their input. The essential feature of such isolation is ideal ZERO
CURRENT FLOW between input and output. Real-world converters however do
exhibit tiny leakage currents between input and output (see Specifi cations).
These leakages consist of both an AC stray capacitance coupling component
and a DC leakage resistance. When using the isolation feature, do not allow
the isolation voltage to exceed specifi cations. Otherwise the converter may
be damaged. Designers will normally use the negative output (-Output) as
the ground return of the load circuit. You can however use the positive output
(+Output) as the ground return to effectively reverse the output polarity.
Minimum Output Loading Requirements
All models regulate within specifi cation and are stable under no load to full
load conditions. Operation under no load might however slightly increase
output ripple and noise.
Thermal Shutdown
To prevent many over temperature problems and damage, 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
hysteresis to prevent rapid on/off cycling. The temperature sensor is typically
located adjacent to the switching controller, approximately in the center of the
unit. See the Performance and Functional Specifi cations.
CAUTION: If you operate too close to the thermal limits, the converter may
shut down suddenly without warning. Be sure to thoroughly test your applica-
tion 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 airfl ow measured in Linear Feet per Minute (“LFM”).
Note that these are AVERAGE measurements. The converter will accept brief
increases in current or reduced airfl ow as long as the average is not exceeded.
Note that the temperatures are of the ambient airfl ow, not the converter
itself which is obviously running at higher temperature than the outside air.
Also note that very low fl ow rates (below about 25 LFM) are similar to “natural
convection, that is, not using fan-forced airfl ow.
Murata Power Solutions makes Characterization measurements in a closed
cycle wind tunnel with calibrated airfl ow. We use both thermocouples and an
infrared camera system to observe thermal performance. As a practical matter,
it is quite diffi cult to insert an anemometer to precisely measure airfl ow in
most applications. Sometimes it is possible to estimate the effective airfl ow if
you thoroughly understand the enclosure geometry, entry/exit orifi ce areas and
the fan fl owrate specifi cations.
CAUTION: If you routinely or accidentally exceed these Derating guidelines,
the converter may have an unplanned Over Temperature shut down. Also, these
graphs are all collected at slightly above Sea Level altitude. Be sure to reduce
the derating for higher density altitude.
Output Overvoltage Protection
This converter monitors its output voltage for an over-voltage condition. If
the output exceeds OVP limits, the sensing circuit will power down the unit,
and the output voltage will decrease. After a time-out period, the PWM will
automatically attempt to restart, causing the output voltage to ramp up to its
rated value. It is not necessary to power down and reset the converter for the
automatic OVP-recovery restart.
If the fault condition persists and the output voltage climbs to excessive
levels, the OVP circuitry will initiate another shutdown cycle. This on/off cycling
is referred to as “hiccup” mode. It safely tests full current rated output voltage
without damaging the converter.
Output Fusing
The converter is extensively protected against current, voltage and temperature
extremes. However your output application circuit may need additional protec-
tion. In the extremely unlikely event of output circuit failure, excessive voltage
could be applied to your circuit. Consider using an appropriate fuse in series
with the output.
Output Current Limiting
As soon as the output current increases to approximately 125% to 150% of
its maximum rated value, the DC/DC converter will enter a current-limiting
mode. The output voltage will decrease proportionally with increases in output
current, thereby maintaining a somewhat constant power output. This is also
commonly referred to as power limiting.
Current limiting inception is defi ned as the point at which full power falls
below the rated tolerance. See the Performance/Functional Specifi cations.
Note particularly that the output current may briefl y 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 (ap-
proximately 98% of nominal output voltage for most models), 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 up 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. A short circuit can be tolerated indefi nitely.
The “hiccup” system differs from older latching short circuit systems
because you do not have to power down the converter to make it restart. The
system will automatically restore operation as soon as the short circuit condi-
tion is removed.
Remote Sense Input
Use the Sense inputs with caution. Sense is normally connected at the load.
Sense inputs compensate for output voltage inaccuracy delivered at the load.
This is done by correcting IR voltage drops along the output wiring and the
current carrying capacity of PC board etch. This output drop (the difference be-
tween Sense and Vout when measured at the converter) should not be allowed
to exceed 0.5V. Consider using heavier wire if this drop is excessive. Sense
inputs also improve the stability of the converter and load system by optimizing
the control loop phase margin.
Note: The Sense input and power Vout lines are internally connected through
low value resistors to their respective polarities so that the converter can
operate without external connection to the Sense. Nevertheless, if the Sense
function is not used for remote regulation, the user should connect +Sense to
+Vout and –Sense to –Vout at the converter pins.
The remote Sense lines carry very little current. They are also capacitively
coupled to the output lines and therefore are in the feedback control loop to
regulate and stabilize the output. As such, they are not low impedance inputs
and must be treated with care in PC board layouts. Sense lines on the PCB
should run adjacent to DC signals, preferably Ground. In cables and discrete
wiring, use twisted pair, shielded tubing or similar techniques.
Any long, distributed wiring and/or signifi cant inductance introduced into the
Sense control loop can adversely affect overall system stability. If in doubt, test
your applications by observing the converter’s output transient response dur-
ing step loads. There should not be any appreciable ringing or oscillation. You
may also adjust the output trim slightly to compensate for voltage loss in any
external fi lter elements. Do not exceed maximum power ratings.
Please observe Sense inputs tolerance to avoid improper operation:
[Vout(+) −Vout(-)] − [Sense(+) −Sense(-)] ≤ 10% of Vout
Output overvoltage protection is monitored at the output voltage pin, not the
Sense pin. Therefore excessive voltage differences between Vout and Sense
together with trim adjustment of the output can cause the overvoltage protec-
tion circuit to activate and shut down the output.
Power derating of the converter is based on the combination of maximum
output current and the highest output voltage. Therefore the designer must
insure:
(Vout at pins) x (Iout) (Max. rated output power)
Trimming the Output Voltage
The Trim input to the converter allows the user to adjust the output voltage
over the rated trim range (please refer to the Specifi cations). In the trim equa-
tions and circuit diagrams that follow, trim adjustments use either a trimpot or
a single fi xed resistor connected between the Trim input and either the +Sense
or –Sense terminals. (On some converters, an external user-supplied precision
DC voltage may also be used for trimming). Trimming resistors should have a
low temperature coeffi cient (±100 ppm/deg.C or less) and be mounted close
to the converter. Keep leads short. If the trim function is not used, leave the
trim unconnected. With no trim, the converter will exhibit its specifi ed output
voltage accuracy.
There are two CAUTIONs to be aware of for the Trim input:
CAUTION: To avoid unplanned power down cycles, do not exceed EITHER
the maximum output voltage OR the maximum output power when setting the
trim. Be particularly careful with a trimpot. If the output voltage is excessive,
the OVP circuit may inadvertantly shut down the converter. If the maximum
power is exceeded, the converter may enter current limiting. If the power is
exceeded for an extended period, the converter may overheat and encounter
overtemperature shut down.
CAUTION: Be careful of external electrical noise. The Trim input is a senstive
input to the converter’s feedback control loop. Excessive electrical noise may
cause instability or oscillation. Keep external connections short to the Trim
input. Use shielding if needed.

Remote On/Off Control
On the input side, a remote On/Off Control can be ordered with either polarity.
Positive: Standard models are enabled when the On/Off pin is left open or
is pulled high to +Vin with respect to –Vin. An internal bias current causes
the open pin to rise to approximately +15V. Some models will also turn on at
lower intermediate voltages (see Specifi cations). Positive-polarity devices are
disabled when the On/Off is grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see
Specifi cations) with respect to –Vin.
Negative: Optional negative-polarity devices are on (enabled) when the On/
Off is grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see Specifi cations) with
respect to –Vin. The device is off (disabled) when the On/Off is left open or is
pulled high to approximately +15V with respect to –Vin.
Dynamic control of the On/Off function should be able to sink appropriate
signal current when brought low and withstand appropriate voltage when
brought high. Be aware too that there is a fi nite time in milliseconds (see
Specifi cations) 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.
There are several CAUTIONs for the On/Off Control:
CAUTION: While it is possible to control the On/Off with external logic if
you carefully observe the voltage levels, the preferred circuit is either an open
drain/open collector transistor, a switch or a relay (which can thereupon be
controlled by logic) returned to negative Vin.
CAUTION: Do not apply voltages to the On/Off pin when there is no input
power voltage. Otherwise the converter may be permanently damaged.
Output Capacitive Load
These converters do not require external capacitance added to achieve rated
specifi cations. Users should only consider adding capacitance to reduce switch-
ing noise and/or to handle spike current step loads. Install only enough ca-
pacitance to achieve noise objectives. Excess external capacitance may cause
regulation problems, slower transient response and possible instability. Proper
wiring of the Sense inputs will improve these factors under capacitive load.
The maximum rated output capacitance and ESR specifi cation is given for a
capacitor installed immediately adjacent to the converter. Any extended output
wiring or smaller wire gauge or less ground plane may tolerate somewhat high-
er capacitance. Also, capacitors with higher ESR may use a larger capacitance.
