DATEL's new ULE Series "Eighth-Brick" DC/DC Converters are high-current
isolated power converters designed for use in high-density system boards. Measuring
just 0.89 x 2.22 x 0.36 inches ( 22.6 x 56.4 x 9.1mm), these open-frame, low-profile
E-bricks fit the industry-standard quarter-brick footprint. Now you can "cut-and-paste"
the layout from your last Q-brick design to save time and save 44% board space
(1.86 square inches versus 3.3) in the process.
From an 18-36V or 36-75V input, ULE's deliver 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 Volt outputs
fully rated at 20 Amps (5V @ 12A and 12V @ 5A). They employ an interleaved,
synchronous-rectifier topology that exploits 100% of their duty cycle. They simultane-
ously achieve high efficiency (to 92%), low noise (50-70mVp-p), tight line/load regula-
tion (±0.25%), and quick step response (150µsec).
An open-frame design, high efficiency, low-on-resistance FET's, and planar mag-
netics embedded in heavy-copper pc boards all contribute to impressive thermal
derating. All ULE's deliver full power to +70°C with a mere 100lfm (0.5m/s) air flow.
The ULE's feature set includes high isolation (2250Vdc, 48V models), input pi
filters, input undervoltage shutdown, output overvoltage protection, current limiting,
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The standard footprint carries V
OUT
trim, on/off control, and sense pins.
All ULE E-Bricks are designed to meet the BASIC-insulation requirements of
UL/EN/IEC60950, and all "D48" models (36-75V input ranges) will carry the CE mark.
Safety certifications, EMC compliance testing and qualification testing (including
HALT) are currently in progress. Contact DATEL for latest updates.

➆
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 shorter
full current outputs if the total RMS current over time does not exceed the Derating curve.

All D12 models will start-up at 9.6V typically and will then work within specifi-

Start-Up Time
The V
IN
to V
OUT
Start-Up Time is the interval of time between the point at
which the ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the
fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy
band. Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external
input/output capacitance, and load. The ULE Series implements a soft start
circuit that limits the duty cycle of its 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 point 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 Con-
trol to V
OUT
start-up time is also governed by the internal soft start circuitry
and external load capacitance.
The difference in start up time from V
IN
to V
OUT
and from On/Off Control to
V
OUT
is therefore insignificant.
Input Source Impedance
ULE 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. If the application has a high source imped-
ance, low V
IN
models can benefit of increased external input capacitance.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise
All models in the ULE 24-60 Watt DC/DC Converters are tested/specified for
input reflected ripple current and output noise using the specified external
input/output components/circuits and layout as shown in the following two
figures.
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
BUS
and L
BUS
simulate a typical
dc voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may necessitate additional
considerations.

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
reversals exist. For DATEL ULE 24-60 Watt DC/DC Converters, you should
use slow-blow type fuses, installed in the ungrounded input supply line, with
values no greater than the following.

Fuse Values

4 Amps
All relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must
be observed by the installer. For system safety agency approvals, the con-
verters must be installed in compliance with the requirements of the end-use
safety standard, e.g. IEC/EN/UL60950.
Input 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. Once
operating, devices will not turn off until the input voltage drops below the
Undervoltage Shutdown limit. 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.

In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and
random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits using fil-
tering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional exter-
nal 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. 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.
In Figure 3, the two copper strips simulate real-world pcb impedances
between the power supply and its load. In order to minimize measurement
errors, scope measurements should be made using BNC connectors, or the
probe ground should be less than ½ inch and soldered directly to the fixture.
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating" with
respect to their input. Designers will normally use the –Output (pin 4) as the
ground/return of the load circuit. You can, however, use the +Output (pin 8) as
ground/return to effectively reverse the output polarity.

Minimum Output Loading Requirements
ULE converters employ a synchronous-rectifier design topology and all
models regulate within spec and are stable under no-load to full load condi-
tions. Operation under no-load conditions however might slightly increase the
output ripple and noise.
Thermal Shutdown
These ULE converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If envi-
ronmental conditions cause the internal temperature of the DC/DC converter
to rise above the designed operating temperature, a precision temperature
sensor will power down the unit. When the internal temperature decreases
below the threshold of the temperature sensor, the unit will self start. See
Performance/Functional Specifications.
Output Overvoltage Protection
ULE output voltages are monitored for an overvoltage condition via magnetic
feedback. The signal is coupled to the primary side and if the output voltage
rises to a level which could be damaging to the load, the sensing circuitry
will power down the PWM controller causing the output voltages to decrease.
Following a time-out period the PWM will restart, causing the output voltages
to ramp to their appropriate values. If the fault condition persists, and the
output voltages again climb to excessive levels, the overvoltage circuitry will
initiate another shutdown cycle. This on/off cycling is referred to as "hiccup"
mode.
Contact DATEL for an optional output overvoltage monitor circuit using a
comparator which is optically coupled to the primary side thus allowing
tighter and more precise control.
Current Limiting
As soon as the output current increases to 10% to 50% above its rated value,
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 somewhat constant power dissipation. This is commonly
referred to as power limiting. Current limit inception is defined as the point at
which 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 condi-
tion as specified under "Performance."
