Modifi cations and customs for OEMs
DATEL’s UMP Models are fully potted, 25-40 Watt DC/
DC converters designed to meet UL1950 and EN60950-
1 safety standards. The combination of the UMP's
higher effi ciencies and thermally conductive potting
compound enables these devices to achieve higher
operating temperatures without derating. The 2" x 3"
UMP "footprint" conforms with the standard pinout
and pin geometries of most 3" x 3" devices (a 33%
space savings) while delivering as much as 60% more
power (40W vs. 25W).
Applicable to a wide range of telecom, computer
and other OEM applications, UMP Model DC/DC’s
operate from four input voltage ranges (10-36V for
"Q12" models, 18-36V for "D24" models, 18-75V for
"Q48" models, and 36-75V for "D48" models). Avail-
able output voltages are 5, 12 and 15 Volts.
For reliability and affordability, DATEL exploits
contemporary, high-speed, automatic assembly to
construct the UMP’s traditional, fi eld-proven, SMT-
on-pcb designs. Devices employ corrosion-resistant
metal cases with plastic headers. Heat generating
transformer cores and power semiconductors are
mounted directly to the cases, which have threaded
inserts for add-on heat sinks or pcb mounting. De-
vices are specifi ed for –40 to +100°C operation and
derating information is provided for operation with/
without heat sinks and forced air fl ow.
All devices feature input pi fi lters, input undervolt-
age and overvoltage shutdown, output overvoltage
protection, output current limiting, and thermal
shutdown. UL, CSA, EN and IEC compliance testing is
available (75V-input devices will be CE marked) as are
full EMI/EMC characterizations.

UMP Model DC/DC Converters are classifi ed, by output power, into 25,
30, 35 and 40 Watt devices. For the single-output devices listed above, the
maximum available output power is the product of the nominal output voltage
and the maximum allowable output current indicated within the part number
(see Part Number Structure). A UMP-5/6-Q48, for example, can source
6 Amps from its 5V output (over its entire 18-75V input voltage range) deliv-
ering an output power of 30 Watts. A UMP-5/8-D48 can deliver
40 Watts.

TECHNICAL NOTES
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "fl oating." Us-
ers may ground either the Common (pin 8) for normal usage or the positive
side (+Output, pin 9) to effectively reverse the output polarity.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All UMP 25-40 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise
specifi cations without the use of external input/output capacitors. In critical
applications, input/output ripple and noise may be further reduced by install-
ing electrolytic capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-ESR tanta-
lum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. The caps should
be located as close to the power converters as possible. Typical values are
listed in the tables below. In many applications, using values greater than
those listed will yield better results.

Case Connection
Unlike most other DC/DC converters, UMP DC/DC's do not have their metal
case connected to one of their input pins. The "uncommitted" case is con-
nected to pin 4 which, depending on your system confi guration, must be
connected to earth or chassis ground to ensure reliable operation.
On/Off Control (Standard)
The On/Off Control pin (pin 5) may be used for remote on/off operation. As
shown in Figure 6, the control pin has an internal 10k pull-up resistor to
approximately 10V. The converter is designed so that it is enabled when the
control pin is 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 obviously be able to sink approximately
1mA when activated and withstand more than 10 Volts when deactivated.
Applying an external voltage to pin 5 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
5 pulled low) while input power is ramping up and then "released" once the
input has stabilized. Under these circumstances, it takes approximately 30ms
for the output of the fully loaded DC/DC to ramp up and settle to within ±1%
of its fi nal value after the converter has been turned on.
Output Trimming
VOUT may be trimmed ±5% via a single trimpot or fi xed resistor. The trimpot
should be connected between +Output (pin 9) and Common (pin 8) with its
wiper connected to pin 10 (Trim). A trimpot can also be used to determine the
value of a single fi xed resistor which can be connected between pin 10 (Trim)
and pin 9 (+Output) to trim "down" the output voltages, or between pins 10
(Trim) and 6 (–Output) to trim "up" the output voltages. Fixed resistors should
be metal-fi lm types with absolute TCR's less than 100ppm/°C to ensure
stability.
Threaded Inserts and Heatsink Installation
CAUTION: Do not use the threaded inserts to bolt the converter down to a
PC board. That will place unnecessary force on the mounting pins. Instead,
the converter is held securely by only soldering the mounting pins.
When attaching the heat sink from above the converter, use a maximum
torque of 2 inch-pounds (0.23 N-m) on the 4-40 bolts to avoid damaging the
threaded inserts. Use a tiny amount of fastener adhesive or 4-40 lockwash-
ers to secure the bolts.

UMP Trim Resistor Equations
The equations listed below will set the output to a desired voltage using a
single fi xed trim resistor if you do not prefer to use a potentiometer. Do not
exceed ±5% from the nominal output voltage. Trim resistors should have low
temperature coeffi cients, ±100ppm/°C or less to ensure stability. Adjustment
beyond the specifi ed adjustment range is not recommended. Attach the trim
resistors as close as practical to the converter.
To trim the voltage higher than the nominal output, install the resistor be-
tween the trim pin and –VOUT terminal.
To trim the voltage lower than the nominal output, install the resistor between
the trim pin and +VOUT terminal.
These equations are a starting point. The fi nal output voltage at the load will
vary slightly with load current, distance to the load (and voltage drop), input
voltage, ambient temperature, airfl ow, initial setpoint accuracy and several
other variables. For critical applications, you should measure the actual volt-
age obtained.

Quality and Reliability
These models are the latest DC/DC Converters to emerge from DATEL’s new,
company-wide approach to designing and manufacturing the most reliable
power converters available. The fi ve-pronged program draws our Quality
Assurance function into all aspects of new-product design, development,
characterization, qualifi cation and manufacturing.
Design for Reliability
Design for Reliability is woven throughout our multi-phased, new-product-de-
velopment 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 qualifi cation of new components.
2. To design with safety margins by adhering to a strict set of derating
guidelines 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).
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 DATEL 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 Acceler-
ated Life Testing) repeatedly during the design and early manufacturing
phases to detect potential electrical and mechanical design weaknesses
that could result in possible future fi eld failures.
During HALT, prototype and pre-production DC/DC converters are subjected
to progressively higher stress levels induced by thermal cycling, rate of tem-
perature change, vibration, power cycling, product-specifi c stresses (such as
dc voltage variation) and combined environments. The stresses are not meant
to simulate fi eld 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 strength-
ened 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.
DATEL has invested in a Qualmark OVS-1 HALT tester capable of applying
voltage and temperature extremes as well as 6-axis, linear and rotational,
random vibration. A typical HALT profi le (shown above) consists of thermal
cycling (–55 to +125°C, 30°C/minute) and simultaneous, gradually increasing,
random longitudinal and rotational vibration up to 20G’s with load cycling and
applied-voltage extremes added as desired. Many devices in DATEL’s new
A-Series could not be made to fail prior to reaching either the limits of the HALT
chamber or some previously known physical limit of the device. We also use
the HALT chamber and its ability to rapidly cool devices to verify their "cold-
start" capabilities.

Qualifi cation
For each new product, electrical performance is verifi ed via a comprehen-
sive characterization process and long-term reliability is confi rmed via a rigorous
qualifi cation 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 fi ne 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 fi nal-electrical tested prior to external
visual examination, packing and shipping.
Rapid Response to Problems
DATEL employs an outstanding corrective-action system to immediately ad-
dress any detected shortcomings in either products or processes. Whenever
our assembly, quality or engineering personnel spot a product/process prob-
lem, or if a product is returned with a potential defect, we immediately perform
a detailed failure analysis and, if necessary, undertake corrective actions.
Over time, this system has helped refi ne our assembly operation to yield one
of the lowest product defect rates in the industry.
