The migration to distributed power is accelerating. The critical need for accurate
voltages, tight regulation and rapid transient response is propelling the move to power
processing at the "point-of-use" with low-power DC/DC converters physically located
right at their loads.
DATEL’s miniature, full featured, 5 Watt UWR Models were specifically designed
for today’s demanding distributed power architectures in aerospace, marine, telecom
and computer applications. The converters' low cost, small size (1" x 1" x 0.45") and
full 5 Watt output capability give system architects unprecedented design and layout
flexibility.
Occupying less than 0.5in3 total volume, these extremely compact, fully regulated
and isolated (1000Vdc guaranteed) modules are available with either 5, 12 or 15 Volt
outputs. Input voltage ranges are either 18-36 Volts ("D24" models) or 36-72 Volts
("D48" models).
Although their overall size is 50-75% smaller than many similarly rated power
modules, these 1" x 1" UWR Models are exact, drop-in, pin-for-pin replacements for
many standard 2" x 1" and 2" x 2", 5 Watt modules. They achieve their small size and
low cost by exploiting a novel feedback approach that does not depend upon traditional optocoupler techniques.
All models are 5-side shielded and have a non-conductive baseplate that permits
pc-card runs to be placed beneath the package. Units are assembled using highspeed automated SMT techniques and are fully encapsulated with thermally conductive potting compound. Every unit is electrically tested before and after encapsulation,
100% burned-in under full load, hi-pot tested, and final-electrical tested prior to shipment. Every unit meets DATEL’s traditional high standards for quality and long-term
reliability.

These are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to any of these conditions may adversely
affect long-term reliability. Proper operation under conditions other than those listed in the
Performance/Functional Specifications Table is not implied.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating." Us-
ers may ground either the Common (pin 6) for normal usage or the positive
side (+Output, pin 3) to effectively reverse the output polarity.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All UWR 5 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 install-
ing low-ESR, tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the input
and/or output terminals. The capacitors should be located as close to the
power converters as possible. Typical values are listed below. In many ap-
plications, using values greater than those listed will yield better results.
To Reduce Input Ripple
"D24" Models 20µF, 50V
"D48" Models 10µF, 100V
To Reduce Output Ripple
5V Outputs 47µF, 10V, Low ESR
12/15V Outputs 33µF, 20V, Low ESR
In critical, space-sensitive applications, DATEL may be able to tailor the in-
ternal input/output filtering of these units to meet your specific requirements.
Contact our Applications Engineering Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of
fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. For DATEL UWR
5 Watt DC/DC Converters, you should use slow-blow type fuses with values
no greater than 0.5A.
