With dimensions of only 0.9 by 2.3 by 0.36
inches, the UWE series open frame DC/DC convert-
ers deliver up to 75 Watts in an industry-standard
“eighth-brick” through-hole package. This format
can plug directly into quarter-brick pinouts. Several
standard fixed-output voltages from 3.3 Vdc to 24
Vdc assure compatibility in embedded equipment,
CPU cards and instrument subsystems. The extend-
ed 4-to-1 input power range (9-36V) is ideal for
battery-powered, telecom or portable applications.
Very high efficiency means no fans or temperature
deratings in many applications. An optional thermal
mounting baseplate extends operation into most
conceivable environments.
The synchronous rectifier design uses the
maximum available duty cycle for greatest ef-
ficiency and low power dissipation with no reverse
output conduction. Other features include low
on-resistance FET’s, planar magnetics and heavy-
copper PC boards. These deliver low output noise,
tight line/load regulation, stable no-load operation
and fast load step response. All units are precision
assembled in a highly automated facility with ISO-
traceable manufacturing quality standards.
Isolation of 1500 Volts assures safety and fully
differential (floating) operation for greatest applica-
tion flexibility. On-board Sense inputs compensate
for line drop errors at high output currents. Outputs
are trimmable within ±10% of nominal voltage. The
UWE series are functionally complete.
A wealth of protection features prevents damage
to both the converter and outside circuits. Inputs
are protected from undervoltage and outputs fea-
ture short circuit protection, overcurrent and excess
temperature shut down. Overloads automatically
recover using the “hiccup” technique upon fault
removal. The UWE is designed to meet all standard
safety and EMI/RFI certifications. All units meet
RoHS-6 (no lead) hazardous materials compliance.

SPECIFICATION NOTES
CAUTION: This product is not internally fused. To comply with safety agency cer-
tifications and to avoid injury to personnel or equipment, the user must supply an
external fast-blow fuse to the input terminals. See fuse information.
All models are tested and specified with external 1µF and 10µF paralleled ceramic/
tantalum output capacitors and a 100 µF external input capacitor. All capacitors are
low ESR types. Contact Murata Power Solutions for details. These capacitors are
necessary to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve
specified performance in your applications. However, Murata Power Solutions
recommends using these capacitors in your application. All models are stable and
regulate within spec under no-load conditions.
All specifications are typical unless noted. General conditions for Specifications are
+25° C, Vin=nominal, Vout=nominal, full load. Adequate airflow must be supplied
for extended testing under power.
Input Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input
filtering is Cin=33 µF, Cbus=220 µF, Lbus=12 µH.
Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal
input voltage. At higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, the DC/DC converter will
tolerate brief full current outputs if the total RMS current over time does not exceed
the Derating curve. All Derating curves are presented at sea level altitude. Be aware
that power dissipation degrades as altitude increases.
Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Issue
1, Case 3, Fits 266, ground fixed conditions, Tambient = +30° C, full output load,
natural air convection.
The Remote On/Off Control is normally controlled by a switch or open collector or
open drain transistor. But it may also be driven with external logic or by applying
appropriate external voltages which are referenced to Input Common.
Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2%
from the selected setting.
The outputs are not intended to sink appreciable reverse current.
Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Filtering
and Noise Reduction. Larger caps (especially low-ESR ceramic capacitors) may
slow transient response or degrade stability. Use only as much output filtering as
needed to achieve your noise requirements and no more. Thoroughly test your
system under full load with all components installed.
9 All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including “cold
start” at –40° C. At full power, the package temperature of all on-board components
must not exceed +128° C.
10 Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output
load current is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme.
11 If the user adjusts the output voltage, accuracy is dependent on user-supplied
trim resistors. To achieve high accuracy, use ±1% or better tolerance metal-film
resistors. If no trim is installed, the converter will achieve its rated accuracy. Do not
exceed maximum power specifications when adjusting the output trim.
12 Output current limit and short circuit protection is non-latching. When the overcur-
rent fault is removed, the converter will immediately recover.
13 Alternate pin length and/or other output voltages may be available under special
quantity order.
14 At zero output current, the output may contain low frequency components which
exceed the ripple specification. The output may be operated indefinitely with no
load.
15 Input Fusing: To ensure reverse input protection with full output load, always con-
nect an external input fast-blow
fuse
in series with the +Vin input. Use approxi-
mately twice the full input current rating at the selected input voltage.
16 “Hiccup” overcurrent operation repeatedly attempts to restart the converter with a
brief, full-current output. If the overcurrent condition still exists, the restart current
will be removed and then tried again. This short current pulse prevents overheating
and damaging the converter. Once the fault is removed, the converter immediately
recovers normal operation.
17 Note that the converter will operate up to the rated baseplate maximum tempera-
ture with the baseplate installed and properly heat sunk. To avoid thermal self-
protection shutdown, do not exceed this maximum baseplate temperature.
18 UWE-24/3-Q12 undervoltage shutdown of 8.0V is at half load.
19 UWE-24/3-Q12 output overvoltage protection requires 0.3A minimum load.
20 Pre-bias operation: Startup will succeed if the output setpoint voltage is higher than
the pre-existing external output voltage.
