TWR A-Series
12-15W, Triple Output DC/DC Converters
Featuring Murata Power Solutions' ultra-wide, 18-72V, input voltage
range, this Family of A-Series, TWR (triple-output) DC/DC converters
deliver up to 15 Watts.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
These devices each have a primary +5V output
that can source from 1 Amp to 1.5 Amps (model
dependent) and auxiliary ±12/15V outputs that can
source from ±150 to ±250mA (model dependent).
All models can simultaneously source maximum
rated current from both primary and auxiliary
outputs. The nominal input voltage for each model
is 48V.
As members of Murata Power Solutions’ new
A-Series, the 12-15W triples exhibit both low cost
and outstanding long-term reliability. Their design
combines straightforward circuit topologies, proven
SMT-on-pcb construction methods, the newest
components, and highly repeatable automatic-
assembly techniques. The A-Series TWR’s superior
durability is substantiated by a rigorous in-house
qualification program that includes HALT (Highly-
Accelerated Life Testing), which is designed to
detect any potential electrical, mechanical or proc-
ess weakness.
Packaged in standard, 2" x 2" x 0.45", shielded
metal cases with non-conductive coatings, these
fully isolated (1000Vdc minimum) DC/DC’s offer
excellent line and load regulation. Additionally,
these A-Series triples have non-latching output
current limiting, input overvoltage shutdown, input
reverse-polarity protection, and output overvoltage
clamping to protect both the power converters and
their loads. All A-Series TWR models are fully EMI
characterized and designed to meet UL1950, IEC
950, CSA 950 and EN60950.

Filtering and Noise Reduction
All TWR A-Series 12-15 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 installing electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-
ESR tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. Output
capacitors should be connected between their respective output pin (pin 5, 6
or 8) and Common (pin 7) as shown in Figure 2. The caps 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 10% loading on their primary output and a
minimum 20% loading on their auxiliary outputs to maintain specified regulation. Opera-
tion 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 upon request. Contact Murato Power Solutions Applications Engineering
for details.
Devices can be screened or modified for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
Contact Murato Power Solutions Applications Engineering for details.
In critical, space-sensitive applications, Murata Power Solutions may be able
to tailor the internal input/output filtering of these units to meet your specific
requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering Group for additional
details.

Quality and Reliability
The A-Series are the first DC/DC Converters to emerge from Murata Power
Solutions’ new, company-wide approach to designing and manufacturing
the most reliable power converters available. The five-pronged program
draws our Quality Assurance function into all aspects of new-product design,
development, characterization, qualification and manufacturing.
Design for Reliability
Design for Reliability is woven throughout our multi-phased, new-product-
development process. Design-for-reliability practices are fully documented and
begin early in the new-product development cycle with the following goals:
1. To work from an approved components/vendors list ensuring the use of
reliable components and the rigorous qualification of new components.
2. To design with safety margins by adhering to a strict set of derating guide-
lines and performing theoretical worst-case analyses.
3. To locate potential design weaknesses early in the product-development
cycle by using extensive HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing).
If you’re designing with EMC in mind, please note that all of Murata Power
Solutions’ TWR A-Series 12-15 Watt DC/DC Converters have been charac-
terized for radiated and conducted emissions in our new EMI/EMC laboratory.
Testing is conducted in an EMCO 5305 GTEM test cell utilizing EMCO auto-
mated 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 for model TWR-5/1500-15/250-D48A appear below. Pub-
lished EMC test reports are available for each model number. Contact Murata
Power Solutions’ Applications Engineering Department for more details.

4. To prove that early design improvements are effective by employing a
thorough FRACA (Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action) system.
HALT Testing
The goal of the accelerated-stress techniques used by Murata Power Solu-
tions is to force device maturity, in a short period of time, by exposing devices
to excessive levels of "every stimulus of potential value." We use HALT
(Highly Accelerated Life Testing) repeatedly during the design and early
manufacturing phases to detect potential electrical and mechanical design
weaknesses
that could result in possible future field failures.
During HALT, prototype and pre-production DC/DC converters are subjected
to progressively higher stress levels induced by thermal cycling, rate of
temperature change, vibration, power cycling, product-specific stresses (such
as dc voltage variation) and combined environments. The stresses are not
meant to simulate field environments but to expose any weaknesses in a
product’s electro/mechanical design and/or assembly processes. The goal of
HALT is to make products fail so that device weaknesses can be analyzed
and strengthened as appropriate. Applied stresses are continually stepped
up until products eventually fail. After corrective actions and/or design
changes, stresses are stepped up again and the cycle is repeated until the
"fundamental limit of the technology" is determined.
Murata Power Solutions has invested in a Qualmark OVS-1 HALT tester

Qualification
For each new product, electrical performance is verified via a comprehensive
characterization process and long-term reliability is confirmed via a rigorous quali-
fication procedure. The qual procedure includes such strenuous tests as thermal
shock and 500 hour life. Qual testing is summarized below.

In-Line Process Controls and Screening
A combination of statistical sampling and 100% inspection techniques keeps
our assembly line under constant control. Parameters such as solder-paste
thickness, component placement, cleanliness, etc. are statistically sampled,
charted and fine tuned as necessary. Visual inspections are performed by
trained operators after pick-and-place, soldering and cleaning operations.
Units are 100% electrically tested prior to potting. All devices are temperature
cycled, burned-in, hi-pot tested and final-electrical tested prior to external
visual examination, packing and shipping.
Rapid Response to Problems
Murata Power Solutions employs an outstanding corrective-action system
to immediately address any detected shortcomings in either products or
processes. Whenever our assembly, quality or engineering personnel spot a
product/process problem, or if a product is returned with a potential defect,
we immediately perform a detailed failure analysis and, if necessary, under-
take corrective actions. Over time, this system has helped refine our assembly
operation to yield one of the lowest product defect rates in the industry.
