PRODUCT OVERVIEW
For your mid-range power requirements, it’s hard to beat the combination of small packaging,
low cost, proven reliability and outstanding electrical performance
offered by the 15-17W, dual-output models of MPS’s A-Series DC/DC converters. These highly effi-
cient, rugged converters combine straightforward circuit topologies, the newest components, proven
SMT-on-pcb construction methods, and highly repeatable automatic-assembly techniques. Their
superior durability is substantiated by a rigorous in-house qualification program.
The input voltage ranges of the BWR 15-17 Bipolar Series (10-18V for "D12A" models, 18-36V
for "D24A" models and 36-75V for "D48A" models) make them excellent candidates for telecom-
munication system line drivers, or distributed power architectures. Their ±5, ±12 or ±15 Volt outputs
cover virtually all standard applications.
These popular power converters are fully isolated (1500Vdc 100% tested) and display excellent
line and load regulation (±0.5% max. for line and load). They are completely I/O protected (input
overvoltage shutdown and reverse-polarity protection, output current limiting and overvoltage pro-
tection) and contain input (pi type) and output filtering to reduce noise.
These extremely reliable, cost-effective power converters are housed in standard 1" x 2" x
0.48" UL94V-0 rated plastic packages. They offer industry-standard pinouts and are ideally suited
for high-volume computer, telecom/datacom, instrumentation and ATE applications.

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 reversal
exists. For MPS BWR 15-17 Watt DC/DC Converters, you should use slow-blow
type fuses with values no greater than the following:

Start-Up Time
The V
IN
to V
OUT
start-up time is the interval of time where the input voltage
crosses the turn-on threshold point, and the fully loaded output voltage enters
and remains within its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary
with external output capacitance and load. The BWR 15-17W Series implements
a soft start circuit that limits the duty cycle of the 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 time at which the converter is turned on 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.
Input Overvoltage/Undervoltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold
Under normal start-up conditions, devices will not begin to regulate until the ramping-up
input voltage exceeds the Start-Up Threshold Voltage (35V for D48 models). Once
operating, devices will not turn off until the input voltage drops below the Undervoltage
Shutdown limit (33.5V for D48 models). Subsequent re-start will not occur until the input is
brought back up to the Start-Up Threshold. This built in hysteresis prevents any unstable
on/off situations from occurring at a single input voltage.
Input voltages exceeding the input overvoltage shutdown specification listed in
the Performance/Functional Specifications will cause the device to shutdown. A
built-in hysteresis of 0.6 to 1.6 Volts for all models will not allow the converter to
restart until the input voltage is sufficiently reduced.
Input Source Impedance
The converters must be driven from a low ac-impedance input source. The DC/
DC's performance and stability can be compromised by the use of highly induc-
tive source impedances. The input circuit shown in Figure 2 is a practical solu-
tion that can be used to minimize the effects of inductance in the input traces.
For optimum performance, components should be mounted close to the DC/DC
converter. If the application has a high source impedance, low V
IN
models can
benefit of increased external input capacitance.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Noise Reduction
All BWR 15-17W DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise
specifications without the use of external input/output capacitors. In critical
applications, input/output ripple and noise may be further reduced by installing
additional external I/O caps.

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 imped-
ance can affect system stability. In Figure 2, C

dc voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may necessitate additional
considerations.

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 filter-
ing techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional external
output capacitors. These output caps 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. 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.
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating," with
respect to the input. As such, it is possible to use +Output, –Output or Output
Return as the system ground thereby allowing the flexibility to generate a
variety of output voltage combinations.
Regulation for BWR 15-17W bipolar converters is monitored between
–Output and +Output (as opposed to Output to Return).
Minimum Loading Requirements
BWR 15-17W converters employ a classical diode-rectification design topology
and require a minimum 10% loading to achieve their listed regulation specifica-
tions and a stable operating condition.
Load Regulation
Regulation for the BWR 15-17W bipolar converters is monitored between
–Output and +Output (as opposed to Output to Return). As such regulation will
assure that voltage between –Output and +Output pins remains within the V
OUT
accuracy listed in the Performance/Functional Specifications table.

start-up time assumes the converter has its nominal

On/Off Control
The input-side, remote On/Off Control function (pin 3) can be ordered to operate
with either polarity. Positive-polarity devices ("C" suffix) are enabled when pin
3 is left open (or is pulled high, +13V to V
IN
applied with respect to –Input, pin
2, see Figure 2). Positive-polarity devices are disabled when pin 3 is pulled low
(0-0.8V with respect to –Input). Negative-polarity devices are off when pin 3 is
left open (or pulled high, 3.5V to V
IN
), and on when pin 3 is pulled low (0-0.5V).

Figure 4. Output Voltage Accuracy vs. Imbalanced Loading
Current Limiting
When output current increases to approximately 15% to 50% above the rated
output current, the DC/DC converter will go into a current limiting mode. In
this condition the output voltage will decrease proportionately with increases
in output current, thereby maintaining a somewhat constant power dissipa-
tion. This is commonly referred to as power limiting. Current limit inception
is defined as the point where 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. See "Short Circuit Condition."
Short Circuit Condition
When a converter is in current limit mode the output voltages 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 voltages
to begin ramping to their appropriate values. 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 BWR 15-17W Series is capable of enduring an indefinite short
circuit output condition.
Thermal Shutdown
These BWR converters are equipped with Thermal Shutdown Circuitry. If
environmental conditions cause the internal temperature of the DC/DC con-
verter rises above the designed operating temperature, a precision tempera-
ture sensor will power down the unit. When the internal temperature decreases
below the threshold of the temperature sensor the unit will self start.

Dynamic control of the remote on/off function is best accomplished with a
mechanical relay or an open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated
if appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current (see
Performance Specs) when activated and withstand appropriate voltage when
deactivated.
Applying an external voltage to pin 3 when no input power is applied to the
converter can cause permanent damage to the converter.
