Typical units
SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC
Packaged in industry-standard DIP’s, the 3 Watt
dual-output models of DATELs XWR Series DC/DC
converters are fully regulated (±0.5% max. line,
±1% max. load), fully isolated (1000Vdc minimum),
extremely effi cient (as high as 78% guaranteed)
building blocks providing true component-like
exibility and convenience to designers of modern
distributed power systems.
Exploiting high-frequency (170-200kHz), yback
topologies and contemporary,
highly automated, SMT assembly techniques, BWR
Model DC/DC’s have enough room to include input
(pi type) and output fi lters within their package.
Offering true "plug-and-play" convenience, these
power converters require no external components.
They operate over the full –25 to +75°C tempera-
ture range with no output power derating.
Output voltages are either ±5, ±12 or ±15 Volts.
Input voltage ranges are either
4.5-9V ("D5" models), 9-18V ("D12" models) or
an ultra-wide 18-72V ("D48" models). Transient
response time is a quick 200μsec.
These extremely rugged modules are fully encap-
sulated with a thermally conductive potting com-
pound. They are moisture and vibration resistant
and have established a reputation for outstanding
MTBF. For telecommunication, computer and other
EMI-sensitive applications, these DIP-packaged
DC/DC converters offer full EMI/EMC characteriza-
tion data.
Industry-standard pinouts make DATELs BWR
Model 3W DC/DC’s ideal replacements for other
more costly, less reliable power converters. Simi-
larly, they are excellent choices for new design-ins
in systems demanding small size, low cost and
high reliability.

These power converters require a minimum 10% loading to maintain specifi ed regulation.
Operation under no-load conditions will not damage these devices; however they may not
meet all listed specifi cations.
Application-specifi c internal input/output fi ltering can be recommended and perhaps added
internally upon request. Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details.
Devices can be screened or modifi ed for higher guaranteed isolation voltages.
Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details.
Devices can be warranted or screened for lower-temperature operation.
Contact DATEL Applications Engineering for details. See DATEL's new BST 3W Models
for guaranteed operation to –40°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 Specifi cations Table is not implied.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
TECHNICAL NOTES
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are "fl oating." Any
BWR model may be confi gured 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 (pins 6 and 8), with either output grounded.
The Common (pins 5 and 7) should be left open. Minimum 20% loading is
recommended under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BWR 3 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. Output capacitors
should be connected between their respective output pin (pin 6 or 8) and
Common (pins 5 and 7) as shown in Figure 2. 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.
To Reduce Input Ripple
"D5" Models 47µF, 15V
"D12" Models 10µF, 35V
"D48" Models 4.7µF, 100V
To Reduce Output Ripple
±5V Outputs 47µF, 10V, Low ESR
±12/15V Outputs 22µF, 20V, Low ESR
In critical, space-sensitive applications, DATEL may be able to tailor the inter-
nal input/output fi ltering of these units to meet your specifi c requirements.

If you’re designing with EMC in mind, note that all of DATEL’s BWR 3 Watt
DC/DC Converters have been characterized for radiated and conducted
emissions in our new EMI/EMC laboratory. Testing is conducted in an EMCO
5305 GTEM test cell utilizing EMCO automated EMC test software. Radi-
ated emissions are tested to the limits of FCC Part 15, Class B and CISPR
22 (EN 55022), Class B. Correlation to other specifi cations can be supplied
upon request. Radiated emissions plots to FCC and CISPR 22 for model
BWR-5/250-D12 appear below. Published EMC test reports are available for
each model number. Contact DATELs Applications Engineering Department
for more details.
