PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Unlike topologies that provide auxiliary bipolar
secondary voltages, the TWR-3.3/4250-12/625 and
TWR-3.3/4250-15/500 have fully regulated bipolar
control loops that offer the same ±1% load regula-
tion seen on the 3.3V primary output.
Available with input ranges of 18 to 36V (-D24), or
36 to 75V (-D48), this TWR series offers 87% effi-
ciency, ±1% line regulation, input overvoltage and
undervoltage shutdown circuitry, output overvolt-
age and short circuit protection, as well as current
limiting protection and thermal shutdown.
SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC
TWR triple output converters will deliver full output
power in ambient, still air environments rang-
ing from –40 to +65°C. Designed using Basic
Insulation transformer construction, this family of
converters guarantees 1500Vdc of isolation voltage
and meets IEC950, UL1950 and EN60950 safety
standards. "D48" models are CE marked (meet LVD
requirements).

All models are specified with external 0.2μF ceramic output capacitors.
See Technical Notes/Graphs for details.
The On/Off control function can be replaced with a Sync function. See Part Number Suffixes
and Technical Notes for details.
Applying a voltage to On/Off Control (pin 4) when no input power is applied to the converter
can cause permanent damage.
Output noise may be further reduced with the installation of additional external output
capacitors. See Technical Notes.
On/Off control is designed to be driven with open collector or by appropriate voltage
levels. Voltages must be referenced to the input return pin (–Input).
Demonstrated MTBF available on request.
For conditions with less than minimum loading, outputs remain stable. However, regulation
performance will degrade.

Start-Up Threshold and Undervoltage Shutdown
Under normal start-up conditions, TWR 30W triples will not begin to regulate
until the ramping input voltage exceeds the Start-Up Threshold Voltage
(typically 17V for "D24" models and 35V for "D48" models). Once operating,
devices will not turn off until the input voltage drops below the Undervoltage
Shutdown/Lockout limit (typically 16.5V for "D24" models and 34.5V for "D48"
models). Subsequent re-start will not occur until the input is brought back
up to the Start-Up Threshold. This built-in hysteresis obviously avoids any
indeterminate on/off conditions at a single voltage.
Start-Up Time
For all models in the TWR 30W Series, V
IN
to V
OUT
Start-Up Time is the
interval between the time at which a rapidly ramping input voltage crosses
the turn-on threshold point and the fully loaded output voltages enter and
remain within their specified accuracy bands. Actual measured times will vary
with output capacitance and load.
The On/Off to V
OUT
Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via
the On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied to the con-
verter. The specification defines the interval between the time at which the
converter is turned on and the fully loaded output voltages enter and remain
within their specified accuracy bands.
On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin (pin 4) is provided for remote on/off operation.
TWR 30W Series converters are designed so that they are enabled when the
control pin is pulled high or left open (normal mode) and disabled when the
control pin is pulled low (to less than +0.8V relative to –Input, pin 2).
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechani-
cal relay or an open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated if
appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current (see
Performance/Functional Specifications) when activated..
Applying an external voltage to pin 4 when no input power is applied to the
converter can cause permanent damage to the converter. The on/off control
function, however, is designed such that the converter can be disabled (pin
4 pulled low) while input power is ramping up and then "released" once the
input has stabilized. The time duration between the point at which the con-
verter is released and its fully loaded output voltage settles to within specified
accuracy can be found in the Performance/Functional Specifications.

TECHNICAL NOTES
I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All TWR 30W Series models achieve their rated ripple and noise specifica-
tions without the use of external input/output capacitors. In critical applica-
tions, input/output ripple/noise may be further reduced by installing additional
external I/O caps. Input capacitors, which function primarily as energy-
storage elements, should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR and
high rms-ripple-current ratings. Output capacitors, which function more as
true filter elements, should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and
appropriate frequency response. All caps should have appropriate voltage
ratings and be mounted as close to the converters as possible. Temperature
variations for all parameters should obviously be taken into consideration.
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 TWR 30W DC/DC Converters, you should use
slow-blow type fuses with values no greater than the following.

Soldering Guidelines
Murata Power Solutions recommends the specifications below when installing these converters. These specifications vary depending on the solder type. Exceeding these specifica-
tions may cause damage to the product. Be cautious when there is high atmospheric humidity. We strongly recommend a mild pre-bake (100° C. for 30 minutes). Your production
environment may differ; therefore please thoroughly review these guidelines with your process engineers.
