The high performance 10A
UIE48T10120
DC-DC converter provides a high
efficiency single output, in a 1/8
th
brick package that is only 62% the size of
the industry-standard quarter-brick. Specifically designed for operation in
systems that have limited airflow and increased ambient temperatures, the
UIE48T10120 converter utilizes the same pinout and Input / Output
functionality of the industry-standard quarter-bricks. In addition, a baseplate
/ heat spreader feature is available (-xDxBx suffix) that provides an effective
thermal interface for coldplate and heat sinking options.
The UIE48T10120 converter thermal performance is accomplished through
the use advanced circuits, packaging, and processing techniques to achieve
ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal management, and a low-body profile.
Operating from a wide-range 18-75V input, the UIE48T10120 converter
utilizes digital control and provides a fully regulated 12V output voltage.
Employing a standard power pinout, the UIE48T10120 converter is an ideal
drop-in replacement for existing high current quarter-brick designs. Inclusion
of this converter in a new design can result in significant board space and cost
savings. The designer can expect reliability improvement over other available
converters because of the UIE48T10120’s optimized thermal efficiency.

3. OPERATIONS
3.1. INPUT AND OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
These power converters have been designed to be stable with no external capacitors when used in low inductance
input and output circuits.
However, in some applications, the inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of
the converter can affect the stability of the converter. A 100 µF electrolytic capacitor with adequate ESR based on
input impedance is recommended to ensure stability of the converter.
In many end applications, a high capacitance value is applied to the converter’s output via distributed capacitors. The
power converter will exhibit stable operation with external load capacitance up to 4700 µF.
3.2. ON/OFF (PIN 2)
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two remote
control options available, positive and negative logic, with both referenced to Vin(-). A typical connection is shown in
Figure A.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic high or left open and turns off when it is at a
logic low. See the Electrical Specifications for logic high/low definitions.

The negative logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic low and turns off when the pin is at logic high.
To enable automatic power up of the converter without the need of an external control signal the ON/OFF pin can be
hard wired directly to Vin(-) for N and left open for P version.
A properly de-bounced mechanical switch, open-collector transistor, or FET can be used to drive the input of the
ON/OFF pin. The device must be capable of sinking up to 0.2 mA at a low level voltage of
0.8 V. An external voltage
source (±15 V maximum) may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input, in which case it must be capable of sourcing
or sinking up to 1 mA depending on the signal polarity. If optocoupler is used to control the on/off, then the ON/OFF
pin should be tied to a 3V3 rail via 3.3kohm resistor to prevent optocoupler leakage from affecting the on/off function.
See the Startup Information section for system timing waveforms associated with use of the ON/OFF pin.

3.3. SENSE (PINS 5 AND 7)
5
The remote sense feature of the converter compensates for voltage drops occurring between the output pins of the
converter and the load. The SENSE(-) (Pin 5) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7) pins should be connected at the load or at the point
where regulation is required (see Fig. B).

CAUTION
If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE (-) pin must be connected to the Vout (-) pin (Pin 4), and the SENSE(+)
pin must be connected to the Vout (+) pin (Pin 8) to ensure the converter will regulate at the specified output
voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter will deliver an output voltage that is higher than the
specified data sheet value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large traces on the end-user board are not required. However, sense
traces should be run side by side and located close to a ground plane to minimize system noise and ensure optimum
performance.
The converter’s output overvoltage protection (OVP) senses the voltage across Vout (+) and Vout (-), and not across
the sense lines, so the resistance (and resulting voltage drop) between the output pins of the converter and the load
should be minimized to prevent unwanted triggering of the OVP.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable output power
capability of the converter, which is equal to the product of the nominal output voltage and the allowable output
current for the given conditions.
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the converter can be increased by as much as 10% above the nominal
rating in order to maintain the required voltage across the load. Therefore, the designer must, if necessary, decrease
the maximum current (originally obtained from the derating curves) by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s
actual output power remains at or below the maximum allowable output power.
3.4. OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUST /TRIM (PIN 6)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down 20%, relative to the rated output voltage by the addition of an
externally connected resistor.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF capacitor is
connected internally between the TRIM and SENSE (-) pins.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim resistor, R
T-INCR
, should be connected between the TRIM (Pin 6)
and SENSE (+) (Pin 7), with a value of:
