UWQ-12/17-Q48 Series
Wide Input, Isolated DOSA Quarter Brick DC/DC Converters
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The UWQ series offers high output current (up to
17 Amps) in an industry standard “quarter brick”
package requiring no heat sink for most applica-
tions. The UWQ series delivers fixed DC output
voltages up to 204 Watts (12V @17A) for printed
circuit board mounting. Wide range inputs of 18
to 75 Volts DC (48 Volts nominal) are ideal for
datacom and telecom systems.
Advanced automated surface mount assembly
and planar magnetics deliver galvanic isolation
rated at 2250 Vdc for basic insulation. To power
digital systems, the outputs offer fast settling to
current steps and tolerance of higher capacitive
loads. Excellent ripple and noise specifications as-
sure compatibility to CPU’s, ASIC’s, programmable
logic and FPGA’s. No minimum load is required.
For systems needing controlled startup/shutdown,
an external remote On/Off control may use either
positive or negative logic.
A wealth of self-protection features include
input undervoltage lockout and overtemperature
shutdown using an on-board temperature sensor;
overcurrent protection using the “hiccup” auto-
restart technique, provides indefinite short-circuit
protection, along with output OVP. The synchronous
rectifier topology offers high efficiency for minimal
heat generation and “no heat sink” operation. The
UWQ series is certified to safety standards UL/
EN/IEC/CSA 60950-1, 2nd edition. It meets RFI/
EMI conducted/radiated emission compliance to
EN55022, CISPR22 with an external filter.

Notes
➀
Unless otherwise noted, all specifications apply at Vin = nominal, nominal output voltage and full
output load. General conditions are near sea level altitude, no base plate installed and natural
convection airflow unless otherwise specified. All models are tested and specified with external
parallel 1 μF and 10 μF multi-layer ceramic output capacitors and a 22μF external input capacitor
(see Technical Notes). All capacitors are low-ESR types wired close to the converter. These capaci-
tors are necessary for our test equipment and may not be needed in the user’s application.
➁
Input (back) ripple current is tested and specified over 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input filtering is
Cin = 33 μF/100V, Cbus = 220μF/100V and Lbus = 12 μH.
➂
All models are stable and regulate to specification under no load.
➃
The Remote On/Off Control is referred to -Vin.
➄
Regulation specifications describe the output voltage changes as the line voltage or load current
is varied from its nominal or midpoint value to either extreme. The load step is ±25% of full load
current.
➅
Output Ripple and Noise is measured with Cout = 1 μF || 10 μF, 20 MHz oscilloscope bandwidth
and full resistive load.
