Figure 1. Simplified Schematic
Non-Isolated, 5V -to-2.5V
12 Amp, DC/DC Converters
As supply voltages trend lower and load currents increase, centralized power
becomes more impractical. The tight accuracy , low noise and quick transient
response demanded by today’s low-voltage CPU’s, ASIC’s and DSP’ s make power
processing at the "point of use" the only viable solution. As voltages decrease much
below 3.3V, the task of designing your own circuit to efficiently derive low-voltage
power from higher-voltage buses (5V , 12V, 48V, etc.) becomes significantly more
challenging.
When you are designing power-hungry 2.5V partitions or boards, consider
DATEL’s new UNR-2.5/12-D5. This non-isolated, 5V -to-2.5V DC/DC delivers a full
12 Amps at an impressive 87% efficiency. Packaged in a 1" x 2" x 0.44" metal case,
the converter exploits synchronous rectification, planar magnetics and 100%
automatic SMT assembly to bring you an incomparable 30 Watts of 2.5V power.
The UNR-2.5/12-D5 delivers full power over the –40 to +50°C temperature
range without heat sinking or forced-air cooling. It is fully line (±0.1%) and load
(±0.5%) regulated and features low noise (40mVp-p) and quick (30µsec) transient
response. The unit offers remote on/off control, and it can withstand a sustained
output short circuit with full recovery to rated accuracy.
Designing your own 2.5V step-down buck regulator may be practical for lowpower applications. When you need 12 Amps, the task becomes significantly more
time consuming. Consider that the high efficiency, ease-of-use, and overall cost
effectiveness of DA TEL’s new 2.5V UNR Series make the quick solution the best
solution.

Signals applied to the On/Off Control are referenced to Logic Ground
which is internally connected to Input/Output Return. The Logic Ground
pin is not designed to carry heavy current. Do not install units with the
Return pins open or connected via high-impedance runs.

UNR Series
NON-ISOLATED, 30W, SINGLE OUTPUT DC/DC CONVERTERS
MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Input Voltage 7 Volts
Output Current Current limited. Devices can
withstand a sustained output short
circuitwithout damage.
Storage Temperature –40 to +105°C
Lead Temperature (soldering, 10 sec.) +300°C
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 T able is not implied.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
The On/Off Control pin has an internal 5kW pull-up resistor to +VIN. It can
be driven with any logic circuit capable of meeting the following drive requirements. Logic "0" = 0 to +0.8V. Logic "1" = +2.0V to +VIN. IIH (@VIN = +2.0V) =
–0.7mA. I
IL (@VIN = 0V) = –1.1mA. Open collector logic or a single NPN drive
transistor can be used. The drive circuit should be rated for more than 5.5V .
Applying a voltage to pin 2 when no input power is applied to the converter can
cause permanent damage to the converter.

Case C5B
➀
These devices have no minimum load requirements and will regulate under no-load conditions.
➁
Achieving specified performance requires the installation of an external 470µF input capacitor
with an ESR of 20m
W
and an rms ripple current rating of 6 Amps, as well as an external 22µF
output capacitor with an ESR of 200m
W
or less.
➂
No-load/full-load conditions. When the unit is off, the input "standby" current is typically 10mA.
➃
See On/Off Control Functionality.
➄
Output noise may be reduced by installing additional external capacitors across the output
terminals. Caps should be selected for low ESR (typically 60m
W
) and located as close to the
unit as possible.
➅
Current limiting initiates at approximately 30% above rated load. Under short-circuit conditions,
output current folds back to approximately 1A and remains there until the short is removed.
