PRODUCT OVERVIEW
As your new, mixed-logic (5V and 3.3V) design
evolves and your current requirements change,
your new DC/DC converter will not. DATEL’s BCP-
5/5-3.3/5-D24 (8-36V input) and BCP-5/5-
3.3/5-D48 (36-75V input) are fully isolated DC/DC
converters providing both 5V and 3.3V outputs.
Housed in standard "half-brick" packages (2.3"
x 2.4" x 0.525"), the BCP’s can support any com-
bination of 5V and 3.3V loading up to a combined
total of 5 Amps. Both outputs are fully isolated
(500Vdc) and independently line (±0.2%) and load
(±0.5% and ±0.6%) regulated.
Both BCP models feature input pi filters, input
undervoltage and overvoltage shutdown, input
reverse-polarity protection, output overvoltage

protection, current limiting, and thermal shutdown.
Each has an on/off control function, and the two
output voltages can be trimmed independently.
BCP Model DC/DC’s deliver low noise (50mVp-p),
high efficiency (87%) and are fully specified for –40
to +00°C operation. Utilization of metal baseplate
technology with threaded inserts permits easy
heat-sink attachment and/or pcb mounting. These
devices meet IEC950, UL950, EN60950 and
VDE safety standards, including BASIC insulation
requirements. CB reports are available on request.
"D48" models are CE marked (meet the require-
ments of LVD). Selected models are available with
RoHS-6 hazardous substance compliance.

Dual Output, Mixed Voltage, 5V & 3.3V, "Half Brick", 75W DC/DC Converters
Input voltages exceeding the input overvoltage shutdown specification
listed in the Performance/Functional Specifications will cause the device to
shutdown. A built-in hysteresis (2V typical for "D24" models, 4V typical for
"D48" models) will not allow the converter to restart until the input voltage is
sufficiently reduced.
Start-Up Time
The V
IN
to V
OUT
start-up time is the interval between the time at which a ramp-
ing 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 input source impedance, external input capaci-
tance, and the slew rate and final value of the input voltage as it appears to
the converter.
The On/Off to V
OUT
start-up time assumes the converter has its nominal
input voltage applied but is turned off via the On/Off Control. The specifica-
tion 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.
On/Off Control
(Standard feature)
The On/Off Control (pin 3) may be used for remote on/off operation. As
shown in Figure A, the control pin is referenced to the –Input (pin ) and
will be pulled to a high state internally. The standard BCP converter (no
suffix) is designed so that it is enabled when the control pin is left open and
disabled when the control pin is pulled low (to less than +0.6V relative to
–Input).
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechan-
ical relay or an open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated if
appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink approximately mA for
logic low.
The on/off control function is designed such that the converter can be disa-
bled (pin 3 pulled low for no-suffix models) while input power is ramping up
and then "released" once the input has stabilized.
For BCP converters configured with the negative-polarity option on the
On/Off Control pin ("N" suffix added to part number), operation is opposite
to that described above. The converter is disabled when the On/Off Control
pin is left open and enabled when pulled low.
3.3V
TECHNICAL NOTES
5V & 3.3V Outputs/Returns
The BCP Series outputs (pins 7 & 0) and returns (pins 6 & 9) are isolated
from the +V
IN
and –V
IN
inputs (pins 4 & ) via a transformer and opto-cou-
pled transistors.
The +5V Return (pin 6) and +3.3V Return (pin 9) are connected internal to
the DC/DC converter. Though the returns are common within the DC/DC
converter, the regulating control loop for each output is sensed directly at
its respective output and return pins. In order to maintain optimum regula-
tion if ground plane is not used, it is critical that PC board layouts also
return each output to its corresponding return pin.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BCP DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise specifi-
cations using the external input and output capacitors specified in the
Performance/Functional Specifications table. In critical applications,
input/output noise may be further reduced by installing additional external
I/O caps. Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR
and high rms-ripple-current ratings. Output capacitors should be selected
for low ESR and appropriate frequency response. All caps should have
appropriate voltage ratings and be mounted as close to the converters as
possible.
The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function of
your particular load and layout conditions. Our Applications Engineers will be
pleased to recommend potential solutions and can discuss the possibility of
our modifying a device’s internal filtering to meet your specific requirements.
Contact our Applications Engineering Group for additional details.
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 exists. For DATEL BCP DC/DC Converters, you should use slow-
blow type fuses with values no greater than the following.

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 (32V for "D48" models). Subse-
quent 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 voltage.
