The DRQ 500W series provides a fully regulated,
digitally controlled DC output in a ¼-brick format
that will support the evolving Advanced Bus Con-
verter (ABC) industry standard footprint for isolated
board mounted power modules. The DRQ series
supports advances in power conversion technology
including a digital interface supporting the PMBus
protocol for communications to power modules.
The DRQ series offers high output current (up to
43.5 Amps) in an industry standard “quarter brick”
package. The DRQ series is an isolated, regulated,
500W-11.5Vout quarter brick that supports the
TNV input voltage range of 38V-75V with a typical
effi ciency of 95.5%.
Advanced automated surface mount assembly
and planar magnetics deliver galvanic isolation
rated at 2250 Vdc for functional insulation. Target
markets include networking equipment, Power over
Ethernet applications, wireless networking equip-
ment, telecommunications equipment, wireless
pre-amplifi ers, industrial and test equipment, and
applications requiring a regulated 11.5V output.
A wealth of self-protection features include
input undervoltage lockout and overtemperature
shutdown; over current protection using the
“hiccup” autorestart technique provides indefi nite
short-circuit protection, along with output OVP. The
DRQ series is certifi ed to safety standards UL/IEC/
CSA 60950-1, 2nd edition (pending). It meets RFI/
EMI conducted emission compliance to EN55022,
CISPR22 with an external fi lter.

Notes
Unless otherwise noted, all specifi cations apply at Vin = nominal, nominal output voltage and full
output load. General conditions are near sea level altitude, no base plate installed and natural
convection airfl ow unless otherwise specifi ed. All models are tested and specifi ed with external
parallel 1 F and 10 F output capacitors (see Technical Notes). All capacitors are low-ESR types
wired close to the converter. These capacitors are necessary for our test equipment and may not
be needed in the user’s application.
Input (back) ripple current is tested and specifi ed over 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input fi ltering is
Cin = 33 µF/100V, Cbus = 220µF/100V and Lbus = 12 µH.
All models are stable and regulate to specifi cation under no load.
The Remote On/Off Control is referred to -Vin.
Regulation specifi cations describe the output voltage changes as the line voltage or load current
is varied from its nominal or midpoint value to either extreme. The load step is ±25% of full load
current.
Output Ripple and Noise is measured with Cout = 1 µF || 10 µF, 20 MHz oscilloscope bandwidth
and full resistive load.

Power Management Overview
The module includes a wide range of readable and confi gurable power
management features that are easy to implement with a minimum of external
components. Furthermore, the module includes protection features that
continuously protect the load from damage due to unexpected system faults.
The SMBALERT pin alerts the host if there is a fault in the module. The follow-
ing product parameters can continuously be monitored by a host: Vout, Iout,
Vin, Temperature, and Power Good. The module is distributed with a default
confi guration suitable for a wide range operation in terms of Vin, Vout, and
load. All power management functions can be reconfi gured using the PMBus
interface. The product provides a PMBus digital interface that enables the user
to confi gure many aspects of the device operation as well as monitor the input
and output parameters. Please contact our FAE for special confi gurations.
Soft-start Power Up
The default rise time of the ramp up is 20 ms. When starting by applying
input voltage the control circuit boot-up time adds an additional 10 ms delay.
The soft-start power up of the module can be reconfi gured using the PMBus
interface.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The module includes over voltage limiting circuitry for protection of the load.
The default OVP limit is 20% above the nominal output voltage. If the output
voltage surpasses the OVP limit, the module can respond in different ways.
The default response from an over voltage fault is to immediately shut down.
The device will continuously check for the presence of the fault condition,
and when the fault condition no longer exists the device will be re-enabled.
The OVP fault level and fault response can be reconfi gured using the PMBus
interface.
Over Current Protection (OCP, Current limit)
The module includes current limiting circuitry for protection at continuous over
load. The default setting for the product is hicup mode. The current limit could
be confi gured by simply setting the IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT to be greater than
the IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT. The maximum value that the current limit could be
set is 50A.
Power Good
The module provides Power Good (PG) fl ag in the Status Word register that
indicates the output voltage is within a specifi ed tolerance of its target level
and no fault condition exists. The Power Good pin default logic is negative and
it can be confi gured by MFR_PGOOD_POLARITY.
TECHNICAL NOTES
Switching Frequency Adjust Using PMBus
By default the switching frequency is set to 175-250 KHz variable frequency
control. The product is optimized at this frequency but it can be changed to 175
KHz fi xed frequency control. The thermal performance can be affected if the
switching frequency is changed when Vin is above 50 Vdc. The following graph
shows Frequency vs. Vin.
PMBus Interface
This module offers a PMBus digital interface that enables the user to confi gure
many characteristics of the device operation as well as to monitor the input
and output voltages, output current and device temperature. The module can
be used with any standard two-wire I2C or SMBus host device. In addition, the
module is compatible with PMBus version 1.2 and includes an SMBALERT line
to help alleviate bandwidth limitations related to continuous fault monitoring.
The module supports 100 kHz and 400 kHz bus clock frequency only.
Monitoring via PMBus
A system controller (host device) can monitor a wide variety of parameters
through the PMBus interface. The controller can monitor fault conditions by
monitoring the SMBALERT pin, which will be asserted when any number of
pre-confi gured fault or warning conditions occur. The system controller can
also continuously monitor any number of power conversion parameters includ-
ing but not limited to the following:
• Input voltage
• Output voltage
• Output current
• Module temperature
Software Tools for Design and Production
For these modules, Murata-PS provides software for confi guring and monitor-
ing via the PMBus interface. For more information please contact your local
Murata-PS representative.

PMBus Addressing
Figure 2 and the accompanying table display the recommended resistor values
for hard-wiring PMBus addresses (1% tolerance resistors recommended): The
address is set in the form of two octal (0 to 7) digits, with each pin setting one
digit. The resistor values for each digit is shown below.
The SA0 and SA1 pins can be confi gured with a resistor to GND according to
the following equation.
PMBus Address = 8 x (SA0value) + (SA1 value)
If the calculated PMBus address is 0d, 11d or 12d, PMBus address 119d is
assigned instead. From a system point of view, the user shall also be aware of
further limitations of the addresses as stated in the PMBus Specifi cation. It is
not recommended to keep the SA0 and SA1 pins left open.
PMBus Commands
The products are designed to be PMBus compliant. The following tables list
the implemented PMBus read commands. For more detailed information see
“PMBus Power System Management Protocol Specifi cation, Part I – General
Requirements, Transport and Electrical Interface” and “PMBus Power System
Management Protocol, Part II – Command Language.”

Thermal Shutdown
Extended operation at excessive temperature will initiate overtemperature
shutdown triggered by a temperature sensor outside the PWM controller. This
operates similarly to overcurrent and short circuit mode. The inception point
of the overtemperature condition depends on the average power delivered,
the ambient temperature and the extent of forced cooling airfl ow. Thermal
shutdown uses only the hiccup mode (autorestart) and PMBus confi gurable
hysteresis.
Start Up Considerations
When power is fi rst applied to the DC-DC converter, there is some risk of start
up diffi culties if you do not have both low AC and DC impedance and adequate
regulation of the input source. Make sure that your source supply does not allow
the instantaneous input voltage to go below the minimum voltage at all times.
Use a moderate size capacitor very close to the input terminals. You may
need two or more parallel capacitors. A larger electrolytic or ceramic cap sup-
plies the surge current and a smaller parallel low-ESR ceramic cap gives low
AC impedance.
Remember that the input current is carried both by the wiring and the
ground plane return. Make sure the ground plane uses adequate thickness
copper. Run additional bus wire if necessary.
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require fuses at the inputs of
power conversion components. Fuses should also be used when there is the
possibility of sustained input voltage reversal which is not current-limited. For
greatest safety, we recommend a fast blow fuse installed in the ungrounded
input supply line.

TECHNICAL NOTES (CONT.)
Input Under-Voltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold
Converters will not begin to regulate properly until the rising input voltage
exceeds and remains at the Start-Up Threshold Voltage (see Specifi cations).
Once operating, converters will not turn off until the input voltage drops below
the Under-Voltage Shutdown Limit. Subsequent restart will not occur until the
input voltage rises again above the Start-Up Threshold. This built-in hysteresis
prevents any unstable on/off operation at a single input voltage. The over/
under-voltage fault level and fault response and hysterisis can be confi gured
via the PMBus interface.
Start-Up Time
Start-Up Time (see Specifi cations) is the time interval between the point when
the rising input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the output voltage
enters and remains within its specifi ed accuracy band.
These converters include a soft start circuit to control Vout ramp time,
thereby limiting the input inrush current.
The On/Off Remote Control interval from On command to Vout (fi nal ±5%)
assumes that the converter already has its input voltage stabilized above the
Start-Up Threshold before the On command. The interval is measured from the
On command until the output enters and remains within its specifi ed accuracy
band.
Recommended Input Filtering
The user must assure that the input source has low AC impedance to provide
dynamic stability and that the input supply has little or no inductive content,
including long distributed wiring to a remote power supply. The converter will
operate with no additional external capacitance if these conditions are met.
For best performance, we recommend installing a low-ESR capacitor
immediately adjacent to the converter’s input terminals. The capacitor should
be a ceramic type such as the Murata GRM32 series or a polymer type. More
input bulk capacitance may be added in parallel (either electrolytic or tantalum)
if needed.
Recommended Output Filtering
The converter will achieve its rated output ripple and noise with no additional
external capacitor. However, the user may install more external output capaci-
tance to reduce the ripple even further or for improved dynamic response.
Again, use low-ESR ceramic (Murata GRM32 series) or polymer capacitors.
Mount these close to the converter. Measure the output ripple under your load
conditions.
Use only as much capacitance as required to achieve your ripple and noise
objectives. Excessive capacitance can make step load recovery sluggish or
possibly introduce instability. Do not exceed the maximum rated output capaci-
tance listed in the specifi cations.
Input Ripple Current and Output Noise
All models in this converter series are tested and specifi ed for input refl ected
ripple current and output noise using designated external input/output com-
ponents, circuits and layout as shown in the fi gures below. The Cbus and Lbus
components simulate a typical DC voltage bus.

Minimum Output Loading Requirements
All models regulate within specifi cation and are stable under no load to full
load conditions.
Thermal Shutdown (OTP, UTP)
To prevent many over temperature problems and damage, these converters
include thermal shutdown circuitry. If environmental conditions cause the
temperature of the DC-DCs to rise above the Operating Temperature Range
up to the shutdown temperature, an on-board electronic temperature sensor
will power down the unit. When the temperature decreases below the turn-on
threshold set in the command recover temp is (OT_FAULT_LIMIT-MFR_OT_
FAULT_HYS), the hysteresis is defi ned in general electrical specifi cation
section. The OTP and hysteresis of the module can be reconfi gured using the
PMBus. The OTP and UTP fault limit and fault response can be confi gured via
the PMBus.
CAUTION: If you operate too close to the thermal limits, the converter may
shut down suddenly without warning. Be sure to thoroughly test your applica-
tion to avoid unplanned thermal shutdown.
Temperature Derating Curves
The graphs in this data sheet illustrate typical operation under a variety of
conditions. The Derating curves show the maximum continuous ambient air
temperature and decreasing maximum output current which is acceptable
under increasing forced airfl ow measured in Linear Feet per Minute (“LFM”).
Note that these are AVERAGE measurements. The converter will accept brief
increases in current or reduced airfl ow as long as the average is not exceeded.
Note that the temperatures are of the ambient airfl ow, not the converter
itself which is obviously running at higher temperature than the outside air.
Also note that “natural convection” is defi ned as very fl ow rates which are not
using fan-forced airfl ow. Depending on the application, “natural convection” is
usually about 30-65 LFM but is not equal to still air (0 LFM).
Murata Power Solutions makes Characterization measurements in a closed
cycle wind tunnel with calibrated airfl ow. We use both thermocouples and an
infrared camera system to observe thermal performance. As a practical matter,
it is quite diffi cult to insert an anemometer to precisely measure airfl ow in
most applications. Sometimes it is possible to estimate the effective airfl ow if
you thoroughly understand the enclosure geometry, entry/exit orifi ce areas and
the fan fl owrate specifi cations.
CAUTION: If you exceed these Derating guidelines, the converter may have
an unplanned Over Temperature shut down. Also, these graphs are all collected
near Sea Level altitude. Be sure to reduce the derating for higher altitude.
Output Short Circuit Condition
The short circuit condition is an extension of the “Current Limiting” condition.
When the monitored peak current signal reaches a certain range, the PWM
controller’s outputs are shut off thereby turning the converter “off.” This is
followed by an extended time out period. This period can vary depending on
other conditions such as the input voltage level. Following this time out period,
the PWM controller will attempt to re-start the converter by initiating a “normal
start cycle” which includes softstart. If the “fault condition” persists, another
“hiccup” cycle is initiated. This “cycle” can and will continue indefi nitely until
such time as the “fault condition” is removed, at which time the converter will
resume “normal operation.” Operating in the “hiccup” mode during a fault
condition is advantageous in that average input and output power levels are
held low preventing excessive internal increases in temperature.
Remote On/Off Control
The DRQ series modules are equipped with both primary (On/Off 1, enabled,
pull up internal) and secondary (On/Off 2, disabled, pull up internal) control pins
for increased system fl exibility. Both are confi gurable via PMBus. The On/Off
pins are TTL open-collector and/or CMOS open-drain compatible. (See general
specifi cations for threshold voltage levels. See also MFR_PRIMARY_ON_OFF_
CONFIG section.)
Negative-logic models are on (enabled) when the On/Off is grounded or
brought to within a low voltage (see specifi cations) with respect to –Vin.
The device is off (disabled) when the On/Off is left open or is pulled high to
+13.5Vdc with respect to –Vin. The On/Off function allows the module to be
turned on/off by an external device switch.
Positive-logic models are enabled when the On/Off pin is left open or is
pulled high to +13.5V with respect to –Vin. Positive-logic devices are disabled
when the On/Off is grounded or brought to within a low voltage (see specifi ca-
tions) with respect to –Vin. For voltage levels for On/Off 2 signal see functional
specifi cations.
The restart delay for this module to turn On/Off by the On/Off control pin is
100ms.
On/Off 1 can be confi gured by PMBus command MFR_PRIMARY_ON_OFF_
CONFIG (DDh); default confi guration is not ignored; required On/Off 1 control
pin to be asserted to start the unit.
On/Off 2 can be confi gured by PMBUS command ON_OFF_CONFIG (02h);
default confi guration is ignored; treat it as always ON.
DRQ's On/Off status is dependent on On/Off 1 control, On/Off 2 control, and
OPERATION (PMBus command) status; all three must be ON to turn DRQ on; if
one of them is OFF, unit will be turned off.
Output Capacitive Load
These converters do not require external capacitance added to achieve rated
specifi cations. Users should only consider adding capacitance to reduce
switching noise and/or to handle spike current load steps. Install only enough
capacitance to achieve noise objectives. Excess external capacitance may
cause degraded transient response and possible oscillation or instability.
Remote Sense Input
Use the Sense inputs with caution. Sense is normally connected at the load.
Sense inputs compensate for output voltage inaccuracy delivered at the load.
This is done by correcting IR voltage drops along the output wiring and the
current carrying capacity of PC board etch. This output drop (the difference
between Sense and Vout when measured at the converter) should not exceed
0.5V. Consider using heavier wire if this drop is excessive. Sense inputs also
improve the stability of the converter and load system by optimizing the control
loop phase margin.
Note: The Sense input and power Vout lines are internally connected through
low value resistors to their respective polarities so that the converter can
operate without external connection to the Sense. Nevertheless, if the Sense
function is not used for remote regulation, the user should connect +Sense to
+Vout and –Sense to –Vout at the converter pins.

Soldering Guidelines
Murata Power Solutions recommends the specifi cations below when installing these
converters. These specifi cations vary depending on the solder type. Exceeding these
specifi cations may cause damage to the product. Be cautious when there is high atmo-
spheric humidity. We strongly recommend a mild pre-bake (100° C. for 30 minutes). Your
production environment may differ; therefore please thoroughly review these guidelines
with your process engineers.
Wave Solder Operations for through-hole mounted products (THMT)
For Sn/Ag/Cu based solders:
Maximum Preheat Temperature 115° C.
Maximum Pot Temperature 270° C.
Maximum Solder Dwell Time 7 seconds
For Sn/Pb based solders:
Maximum Preheat Temperature 105° C.
Maximum Pot Temperature 250° C.
Maximum Solder Dwell Time 6 seconds
The remote Sense lines carry very little current. They are also capacitively
coupled to the output lines and therefore are in the feedback control loop to
regulate and stabilize the output. As such, they are not low impedance inputs
and must be treated with care in PC board layouts. Sense lines on the PCB
should run adjacent to DC signals, preferably Ground. In cables and discrete
wiring, use twisted pair, shielded tubing or similar techniques.
Any long, distributed wiring and/or signifi cant inductance introduced into the
Sense control loop can adversely affect overall system stability. If in doubt, test
your applications by observing the converter’s output transient response during
step loads. There should not be any appreciable ringing or oscillation. You
may also adjust the output trim slightly to compensate for voltage loss in any
external fi lter elements. Do not exceed maximum power ratings.
Please observe Sense inputs tolerance to avoid improper operation:
[Vout(+) −Vout(-)] − [Sense(+) −Sense(-)] ≤ 10% of Vout
Output overvoltage protection is monitored at the output voltage pin, not the
Sense pin. Therefore excessive voltage differences between Vout and Sense
together with trim adjustment of the output can cause the overvoltage protec-
tion circuit to activate and shut down the output.
Power derating of the converter is based on the combination of maximum
output current and the highest output voltage. Therefore the designer must
ensure:
(Vout at pins) x (Iout) (Max. rated output power)

Emissions Performance
Murata Power Solutions measures its products for conducted emissions
against the EN 55022 and CISPR 22 standards. Passive resistance loads are
employed and the output is set to the maximum voltage. If you set up your
own emissions testing, make sure the output load is rated at continuous power
while doing the tests.
The recommended external input and output capacitors (if required) are
included. Please refer to the fundamental switching frequency. All of this
information is listed in the Product Specifi cations. An external discrete fi lter is
installed and the circuit diagram is shown below.

[4] Layout Recommendations
Most applications can use the fi ltering which is already installed inside the
converter or with the addition of the recommended external capacitors. For
greater emissions suppression, consider additional fi lter components and/or
shielding. Emissions performance will depend on the user’s PC board layout,
the chassis shielding environment and choice of external components. Please
refer to Application Note GEAN-02 for further discussion.
Since many factors affect both the amplitude and spectra of emissions, we
recommend using an engineer who is experienced at emissions suppression.

Vertical Wind Tunnel
Murata Power Solutions employs a computer controlled
custom-designed closed loop vertical wind tunnel, infrared
video camera system, and test instrumentation for accurate
airfl ow and heat dissipation analysis of power products.
The system includes a precision low fl ow-rate anemometer,
variable speed fan, power supply input and load controls,
temperature gauges, and adjustable heating element.
The IR camera monitors the thermal performance of the
Unit Under Test (UUT) under static steady-state conditions. A
special optical port is used which is transparent to infrared
wavelengths.
Both through-hole and surface mount converters are
soldered down to a 10" x 10" host carrier board for realistic
heat absorption and spreading. Both longitudinal and trans-
verse airfl ow studies are possible by rotation of this carrier
board since there are often signifi cant differences in the heat
dissipation in the two airfl ow directions. The combination of
adjustable airfl ow, adjustable ambient heat, and adjustable
Input/Output currents and voltages mean that a very wide
range of measurement conditions can be studied.
The collimator reduces the amount of turbulence adjacent
to the UUT by minimizing airfl ow turbulence. Such turbu-
lence infl uences the effective heat transfer characteristics
and gives false readings. Excess turbulence removes more
heat from some surfaces and less heat from others, possibly
causing uneven overheating.
Both sides of the UUT are studied since there are differ-
ent thermal gradients on each side. The adjustable heating
element and fan, built-in temperature gauges, and no-contact
IR camera mean that power supplies are tested in real-world
conditions.
