The migration to distributed power is accelerating. The critical need for accurate
voltages, tight regulation and rapid transient response is propelling the move to
power processing at the "point-of-use" with low-power DC/DC converters physically
located right at their loads.
MPS’s miniature, full featured, 5 Watt BWR Models were specifically designed
for today’s demanding distributed power architectures in aerospace, marine, tele-
com and computer applications. The converters’ small size (1" x 1" x 0.45"),
full 5 Watt output capability and low cost give system architects unprecedented
design and layout flexibility.
Occupying less than 0.5in
3
total volume, these extremely compact, fully regulated
and isolated (1000Vdc) modules are available with ±5, ±12 or ±15 Volt outputs.
Input voltage ranges are either 18-36 Volts ("D24" models) or 36-72 Volts ("D48"
models).
Although their overall size is 50-75% smaller than many similarly rated power
modules, these 1" x 1" BWR Models are exact, drop-in, pin-for-pin replacements for
many standard 2" x 1" and 2" x 2", 5 Watt modules. They achieve their small size
and low cost by exploiting a novel feedback approach that does not depend upon
traditional optocoupler techniques.
All models are 5-side shielded and have a non-conductive baseplate that permits
pc-card runs to be placed beneath the package. Units are assembled using
high-speed automated SMT techniques and are fully encapsulated with thermally
conductive potting compound. Every unit is electrically tested before and after
encapsulation, 100% burned-in under full load, hi-pot tested, and final-electrical
tested prior to shipment. Every unit meets MPS’s traditional high standards for qual-
ity and long-term reliability.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating." Any
BWR model may be configured to produce an output of 10V, 24V or 30V
(for ±5V, ±12V or ±15V models, respectively) by applying the load across
the +Output and –Output (pins 3 and 6), with either output grounded. The
Common (pin 4) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is recommended
under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BWR 5 Watt 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 install-
ing low-ESR, tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the input
and/or output terminals. Output capacitors should be connected between
their respective output pin (pin 3 or 6) and Common (pin 4) as shown in
Figure 2. The capacitors should be located as close to the power converters
as possible. Typical values are listed below. In many applications, using
values greater than those listed will yield better results.

These power converters require a minimum 20% loading to maintain specified regulation.
Operation under no-load conditions will not damage these devices, however they may not
meet all listed specifications.
Application-specific internal input/output filtering can be recommended and perhaps added
internally on request. Contact MPS Applications Engineering for details.
Units can be screened or modified for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
Contact MPS Applications Engineering for details.
Units can be screened for lower-temperature operation.
Contact MPS Applications Engineering for details.
In critical, space-sensitive applications, MPS may be able to tailor the inter-
nal input/output filtering of these units to meet your specific requirements.

If you’re designing with EMC in mind, all MPS’s BWR 5 Watt DC/DC's have
been characterized for radiated/conducted emissions in our new EMI/EMC
lab. Testing is conducted in an EMCO 5305 GTEM test cell utilizing EMCO
automated EMC test software. Radiated emissions are tested to the limits
of FCC Part 15, Class B and CISPR 22 (EN 55022) Class B. Correlation to
other specifications can be supplied upon request. Radiated emissions plots
to FCC and CISPR 22 appear below. Its performance is typical of all models
in the Family. Published EMC test reports are available for each model
number. Contact MPS’s Applications Engineering Department for details.
