PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Industry-standard through-hole eighth-brick
package with 0.9" x 2.3" x 0.38" outline
dimensions
With dimensions of only 0.9 by 2.3 by 0.38
inches, the UWE series open frame DC-DC convert-
ers deliver up to 75 Watts in an industry-standard
“eighth-brick” through-hole package. This format
can plug directly into quarter-brick pinouts. Several
standard fixed-output voltages from 3.3 Vdc to 24
Vdc assure compatibility in embedded equipment,
tight line/load regulation, stable no-load operation
and fast load step response. All units are precision
assembled in a highly automated facility with ISO-
traceable manufacturing quality standards.
Isolation of 2250 Volts (Q48 models) assures
safety and fully differential (floating) operation for
greatest application flexibility. On-board Sense in-

CPU cards and instrument subsystems. The extend- puts compensate for line drop errors at high output
Synchronous rectification yields very high
efficiency and low power dissipation
ed 4-to-1 input power range (9-36V) is ideal for
battery-powered, telecom or portable applications.
Very high efficiency means no fans or temperature
deratings in many applications. An optional thermal
mounting baseplate extends operation into most
conceivable environments.
currents. Outputs are trimmable within 10ꢀ of
nominal voltage. The UWE series are functionally
complete.
Operating temperature range from -40 to
+85˚C with derating
A wealth of protection features prevents damage
to both the converter and outside circuits. Inputs
are protected from undervoltage and outputs fea-
ture short circuit protection, overcurrent and excess
temperature shut down. Overloads automatically
recover using the “hiccup” technique upon fault
removal. The UWE is certified to standard safety
and EMI/RFI approvals. All units meet RoHS-6
hazardous materials compliance.
Up to 2250 Volt DC isolation (Q48 models)
Outstanding thermal performance and derating
The synchronous rectifier design uses the
maximum available duty cycle for greatest ef-
ficiency and low power dissipation with no reverse
output conduction. Other features include low
on-resistance FET’s, planar magnetics and heavy-
copper PC boards. These deliver low output noise,
Extensive self-protection, overtemperature
and overload features with no output reverse
