BPB Models
High-Efficiency, Smaller-Package
25-40 Watt, DC/DC Converters
Features DATEL’s BPB Model, 25-40 Watt, dual-output DC/DC con verters bring you efficient
"on-board" power processing in a cost-effective smaller package with a standard
pinout. The 2" x 3" BPB "footprint" conforms to the industry-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, BPB
Model DC/DC’s offer ±5V, ±12V or ±15V outputs. They operate from f our different input
voltage ranges with total available output power being a function of the selected input
range. "Q12" models operate from 10-36V and deliver 25W .
"Q48" models operate from 18-72V and deliver 30W . For "D24" and "D48" models, the
input voltage ranges and rated output powers are 18-36V at 35W and 36-72V
at 40W , respectively.
For impro ved reliability and affordability, BPB Models exploit modern, high-speed,
automatic assembly to construct their field-proven, SMT-on-pcb designs. Devices
employ corrosion-resistant steel cases with heavy zinc top plates (traditionally referred
to as baseplates). Heat-generating transformer cores and power semiconductors are
mounted directly to the cases, which have threaded inserts for optional add-on heat
sinks and/or pcb mounting.
All devices feature input pi filters, input overvoltage shutdown, output overvoltage
protection, output current limiting, and thermal shutdown. UL, CSA, EN and IEC
compliance testing is currently in progress as are EMI/EMC characterizations.

As shown below, BPB Model DC/DC Converters are classified by output
power. For dual-output devices, the total output power from the two outputs
can not exceed the rated power. For example, "Q48" models have a
maximum output power of 30W. Therefore, if the +Output is sourcing 20
Watts, the –Output is limited to sourcing 10 Watts ensuring the total output
power does not exceed 30 Watts.

Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "floating." Any
BPB model may be configured to produce an output of 10V, 24V or 30V (for
±5V, ±12V or ±15V models, respectively) by applying the load across the
+Output and –Output (pins 9 and 6), with either output grounded. The
Common (pin 8) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is recom-
mended under these conditions. The total output voltage span may be
exter nally trimmed as descr ibed below.

These conv erters require a minimum 10% loading on each output to maintain
specified regulation. Operation under no-load conditions will not damage these devices;
howe ver they ma y not meet all listed specifications.
"Full load" varies by part number and is determined by the input voltage range as indicated by
the part number suffix. See Technical Notes and Output Po wer Considerations .
Application-specific input/output filtering can be recommended or perhaps added internally
upon request. Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details.
Applying a voltage to the On/Off Control pin when no input po wer is applied to the conv erter
can cause permanent damage to the converter. If desired, the On/Off Control function can be
replaced with a Sync function. See page 6 of this data sheet f or more details.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BPB 25-40 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise
specifications without the use of external input/output capacitors. In cr itical
applications, input/output ripple and noise may be fur ther reduced by
installing electrolytic capacitors across the input ter minals and/or low-ESR
tantalum or electrolytic capacitors across the output terminals. Output
capacitors should be connected between their respective output pin (pin 6 or
9) and Common (pin 8). See Figure 7. The caps should be located as close
to the power conver ters as possible. Typical values are listed in the tables
below. In many applications, using values greater than those listed will yield
better results.

Definition of "Full Load" for Specification Purposes
Output Power
BPB Model, dual-output DC/DC conver ters incorporate a design tradeoff
between total available output power and input voltage range. The total
available power is a function of both the nominal input voltage and the
"width" of the input voltage range. For a given nominal input (24V or 48V),
narrower ranges (2:1 vs. 4:1) have more available power. For a given "width"
of input range (2:1 or 4:1), higher nominal inputs (48V vs. 24V) have more
available power. Each device, as indicated by its part-number suffix (Q12, Q48,
D24 or D48) has a total output power limitation of 25, 30, 35 or 40 Watts,
respectively. Observing these power limitations is the user' s responsibility.
As indicated by its Part Number Structure, each ±5V, ±12V or ±15V BPB
device is capable of sourcing up to ±4, ±1.65 or ±1.3 Amps, respectively.
Users have the flexibility of loading either output up to these limits; however
you must be extremely careful not to exceed the total output power rating of
any given device. If, for example, a ±5V device with a 30W power rating
(BPB-5/4-Q48) is sourcing 4A from its +5V output (representing 20W of
+Output power), that device can only supply an additional 10W (2 Amps)
from its –Output.
As a consequence of this "power-allocation" flexibility, the definition of "full
load," as the condition under which performance specifications are tested and
listed, is ambiguous. The following table lists the positive and negative output
currents that DATEL uses to define each device’s "full load."

DS-0410 12/01
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 dr ive 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
conver ter can cause per manent damage to the conve r ter. The on/off control
function, however, is designed such that the conver ter 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 final value after the converter has been tur ned on.
Synchr onization (Optional)
In critical applications employing multiple switching DC/DC converters, it may
be desirable to intentionally synchronize the switching of selected converters
(so the system noise can be reduced with notch filtering) or to purposely
desynchronize the converters (to lessen the current-carrying requirements on
inter mediate dc buses). BPB DC/DC Converters have been designed so that
the On/Off Control function on pin 5 can be replaced with a Sync function. This
change has to be implemented by DATEL during the product assembly
process. Contact our Applications Engineering Group for additional details.
To synchronize the switching of multiple BPB conver ters configured with the
Sync function, an external clock can be applied to pin 5 of each conver ter.
The clock should be a TTL square wave referenced to –Input (logic high =
+2 to +5 Volts, 250µA max.; logic low = 0 to +0.8 Volts, 70µA max.) with a
maximum 1µsec "high" duration. The frequency of the synchronizing clock
should be higher than that of any individual converter. Therefore, it should be
145kHz ±5kHz.
Output Trimming
The to t al o u t p u t vo l t age span, from +Output (pin 9) to –Output (pin 6) may
be trimmed ±5% via a single tr impot or fixed resistor. The tr impot should be
connected as shown in Figure 8 with its wiper connected to pin 10 (Trim). A
trimpot can also be used to determine the value of a single fixed 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-film types with
absolute TCR's less than 100ppm/°C to ensure stability.
