For applications requiring wide range input, improved electrical and thermal
perfomance consider DATEL's new UQQ Series "Quarter-Brick" DC/DC Convert-
ers. They measure just 1.45 x 2.30 x 0.35 inches (36.8 x 58.4 x 8.9mm) and fit the
industry-standard footprint.
From an 9-36V or 18-75V input, UQQ's deliver outputs of 3.3V, 5V,12V or 15V.
They employ an interleaved, synchronous-rectifier topology that exploits 100% of their
duty cycle. They simultaneously achieve ultra-high efficiency (to 91%), tight line/load
regulation, low noise, and quick step response.
A state of the art, single-board, open-frame design with reduced component
count, high efficiency, low-on-resistance FET's, and planar magnetics embedded in
heavy-copper pc boards all contribute to impressive thermal derating.
The UQQ's feature set includes high isolation, input pi filters, input undervoltage
shutdown, output overvoltage protection, current limiting, short-circuit protection and
thermal shutdown. The standard footprint carries on/off control (positive or negative
polarity), output trim (+10/–20%) and output sense functions.
All UQQ quarter-bricks are designed to meet the BASIC-insulation require-
ments of UL/EN/IEC60950 and they will carry the CE mark. Safety certifications,
EMC compliance testing and qualification testing (including HALT) are currently in
progress. Contact DATEL for latest updates.

Specification Notes:
(1) All models are tested and specified with 300 lfm airflow, external 1 || 10µF ceramic/tantalum
output capacitors and a 100µF 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 specified performance in your applications. All models are stable and regulate
within spec under no-load conditions.
General conditions for Specifications are +25°C, V
IN

= 12µH.
(3) Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal input
voltage. At higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, 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 presented at sea level altitude. Be aware of reduced power dissipation
with increasing density altitude.
(4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case

(5) The On/Off Control may be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external volt-
ages which are referenced to Input Common. The On/Off Control Input should use either an
open collector/open drain transistor or logic gate.
(6) Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2% from the
selected setting.

(7) The outputs are not intended to sink appreciable reverse current. Sinking excessive reverse
current may damage the outputs.
(8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Filtering and Noise
Reduction.
(9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including “cold start” at
–40°C.
(10) Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output load current
is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme.
(11) Alternate pin length and/or other output voltages are available under special quantity order.
(12) Overvoltage shutdown on 48V input models can be eliminated under special quantity order.
OV shutdown can be deleted in order to comply with certain telecom reliability requirements.
These requirements attempt continued operation despite significant input overvoltage.
(13) Do not exceed maximum power specifications when adjusting the output trim.
(14) Note that the converter may operate up to +105°C with the baseplate installed (+100°C for the
UQQ-3.3/25-Q48). However, thermal self-protection occurs near +120°C Therefore, +105°C is
recommended to avoid thermal shutdown.
(15) If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, a body diode will become forward biased
and will accept considerable current. To ensure reverse input protection, always connect an
external input fuse in series with the +V
IN
input. Use approximately twice the full input current
rating with nominal input voltage.
(16) For On/Off Control on negative-polarity UQQ-3.3/25-Q48N models, the maximum OFF mode
control voltage is +13.5 Volts. For the ON mode, the range is pin grounded to +1 Volt max.

External input capacitors (C
IN
in Figure 2) serve primarily as energy-stor-
age elements. They 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, C
BUS
and L
BUS
simulate a typical dc voltage bus. Your specific
system configuration may necessitate additional considerations.
In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and
random deviations or PARD) can be reduced below specified limits using
filtering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional
external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter elements
and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appropriate
frequency response. In Figure 3, the two copper strips simulate real-world
pcb impedances between the power supply and its load. Scope measurements
should be made using BNC connectors or the probe ground should be less
than ½ inch and soldered directly to the fixture.
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 be taken into consideration. OS-CON
TM
organic
semiconductor capacitors (www.sanyo.com) can be especially effective for
further reduction of ripple/noise.
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.
Storage Temperature
Lead Temperature
(soldering 10 sec. max.)
Absolute maximums are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to any of these
conditions may adversely affect long-term reliability. Proper operation under
conditions other than those listed in the Performance/Functional Specifications
Table is not implied nor recommended.
TECHNICAL NOTES
Removal of Soldered UQQ's from Printed Circuit Boards
Should removal of the UQQ from its soldered connection be needed, thor-
oughly de-solder the pins using solder wicks or de-soldering tools. At no time
should any prying or leverage be used to remove boards that have not been
properly de-soldered first.
Input Source Impedance
UQQ 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 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
close to the DC/DC converter.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise
All models in the UQQ Series are tested/specified for input ripple current
(also called input reflected ripple current) and output noise using the circuits
and layout shown in Figures 2 and 3.
