Housed in smaller, 1.6" x 2" x 0.40" (41 x 51 x 10.2mm) packages carrying the
standard 2" x 2" pinout, DATEL's new UHE Series DC/DC Converters deliver more
current/power (up to 10A/30W) than currently available from either package size.
The UHE 12-30W Series of high-efficiency, isolated DC/DC's provide output power
ranging from 10 Amps @ 1.2V to 2 Amps @ 15V. Offering both 2:1 and 4:1 input
voltage ranges, UHE's meet V
IN
requirements from 9 to 75 Volts.
Taking full advantage of the synchronous-rectifier, forward topology, UHE's boast
outstanding efficiency (some models exceed 91%) enabling full-power operation to
ambient temperatures as high as +60°C, without air flow. Assembled using fully
automated, SMT-on-pcb techniques, UHE's provide stable no-load operation, excel-
lent line (±0.1%) and load (±0.15%) regulation, quick step response (200µsec), and
low output ripple/noise (50-100mVp-p). Additionally, the UHE's unique output design
eliminates one of the topology's few shortcomings–output reverse conduction.
All devices feature full I/O fault protection including: input overvoltage and under-
voltage shutdown, precise output overvoltage protection (a rarity on low-voltage
outputs), output current limiting, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
All UHE models incorporate a V
OUT
Trim function and an On/Off Control pin
(positive or negative polarity). Low-voltage models (1.2V to 5V) offer optional sense
pins facilitating either remote load regulation or current sharing for true N+1 redun-
dancy. All models are certified to the BASIC insulation requirements of UL/EN60950,
and 48V
IN
(75V max.) models carry the CE mark.

All models are tested and specified with a single, external, 0.47µF, multi-layer ceramic output
capacitor and no external input capacitors, unless otherwise noted. All models will effectively
regulate under no-load conditions (with perhaps a slight increase in output ripple/noise).

See Technical Notes/Performance Curves for additional explanations and details.
(3)
Input Ripple Current is tested/specified over a 5-20MHz bandwidth with an external 33µF
input capacitor and a simulated source impedance of 220µF and 12µH. See I/O Filtering, Input
Ripple Current and Output Noise for details.
(4)
The On/Off Control is designed to be driven with open-collector (or equivalent) logic or the
application of appropriate voltages (referenced to –Input (pin 2)). Applying a voltage
to the On/Off Control pin when no input voltage is applied to the converter can cause permanent
damage. See Remote On/Off Control for more details.
(5)
Extreme Accuracy refers to the accuracy of either trimmed or untrimmed output voltages over all
normal operating ranges and combinations of input voltage, output load and temperature.
(6)
Tie the Output Trim pin (pin 9) to +Output (pin 6) for maximum trim down or to –Output (Output
Return/Common, pin 7) for maximum trim up. See Output Trimming for detailed trim equations.
(7)
The Current-Limit-Inception point is the output current level at which the converter's power-
limiting circuitry drops the output voltage 2% from its initial value. See Output Current Limiting
and Short-Circuit Protection for more details.
(8)
For Start-Up-Time specifications, output settling time is defined as the output voltage having
reached ±1% of its final value at maximum load current.

Output Current
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.
All D12/Q12 models will start-up at 9.6V typically and will then work within
specifications from 9-18V or 9-36V respectively.
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 UHE 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
Control 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.

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 UHE 12-30 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.

All D12/Q12 and D24 Models of the UHE DC/DC converters are equipped
with Input Overvoltage Protection. Input voltages exceeding the input over-
voltage shutdown specification listed in the Performance/Functional Specifi-
cations will cause the device to shutdown. A built-in hysteresis for all models
will not allow the converter to restart until the input voltage is sufficiently
reduced.
All 48V
IN
models have this overvoltage shutdown function disabled because
of requirements for withstanding brief input surges to 100V for up to 100msec
without output voltage interruption.
Please contact DATEL to have input overvoltage shutdown for D48/Q48
models enabled.
Input Source Impedance
UHE 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.
All relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must
be observed by the installer. For system safety agency approvals, the
converters 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 (35V
for "D48" models). Once operating, devices will not turn off until the input
voltage drops below the Undervoltage Shutdown limit (34V for "D48" models).

UHE Models
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise
All models in the UHE 12-30 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
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.

UHE 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.

Figure 2. Measuring Input Ripple Current
These UHE 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
UHE 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
condition as specified under "Performance."
In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and
random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits using
filtering 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. 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 7) as the
ground/return of the load circuit. You can, however, use the +Output (pin 6) as
ground/return to effectively reverse the output polarity.
