Description
The MW005AJ and MW005AJ4 Power Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage range
of 36 Vdc to 72 Vdc and provide precisely regulated dc outputs. The outputs are isolated from the input and the
modules hav e maxim um power r atings of 5 W at a typical full-load efficiency of 78% f or the MW005AJ and 76%
for MW005AJ4.
The modules are encapsulated in nonconductive cases that mount on PC boards. In a natural convection
environment, the modules are rated to operate at full load at 85 °C with no heat sinking or external filtering.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
Electrical Specifications
Unless otherwise indicated, specifications apply over all operating input voltage, resistive load, and temperature
conditions.
Table 1. Input Specifications
Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fus-
ing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A in series with the input (see Safety Con-
siderations section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input
current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further
information.

Test Configurations
8-489(C)
Note: Input reflected-ripple current is measured with a simulated
source impedance of 12 µH. Capacitor Cs offsets possible
battery impedance. Current is measured at the input of the
module.
Figure 11. Input Reflected-Ripple Test Setup
8-808(C)
Note: Use a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. Scope measurement should
be made by using a BNC socket. Position the load between
50 mm and 75 mm (2 in. and 3 in.) from the module.
Figure 12. Output Noise Measurement Test Setup
8-863(C).a
Note: Take all measurements at the module ter minals. When
socketing, place Kelvin connections at module terminals to
avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance.

Design Considerations
Output Ripple
If lower output ripples are needed, external L-C filters
across the module output terminals are recommended.
A 3.9 µH, 50 m inductor and a 47 µF capacitor with its
impedance less than 1.5 at 100 kHz will reduce the
output ripple by at least 50%.
Input or Output Voltage Reversal
CAUTION: Applying a reverse voltage across the
module input or output can damage the
module.

MW005AJ, MW005AJ4 Power Modules:
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e.,
UL
1950,
CSA
C22.2 No. 950-95, and
VDE
0805
(EN60950, IEC950).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75 Vdc), for the module's output to be considered
meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, includ-
ing the ac mains.
One VI pin and one V O pin are to be grounded or both
the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
The input pins of the module are not operator acces-
sible.
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system, as required by the saf ety agencies, on
the combination of supply source and the subject
module to verify that under a single fault, hazardous
voltages do not appear at the module's output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output
pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to
appear between the output pins and ground.
The power module has extra-low v oltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
Feature Descriptions
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control
circuitry, which is independent of the primary regulation
loop, that monitors the voltage on the output terminals.
The control loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set
point than the primary loop (see Feature Specifications
table). This provides a redundant voltage-control that
reduces the risk of output overvoltage.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload)
condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-lim-
iting circuitry and can endure current limiting for an
unlimited duration. At the point of current-limit incep-
tion, the unit shifts from voltage control to current con-
trol. If the output voltage is pulled very low during a
severe fault, the current-limit circuit can exhibit either
foldback or tailout characteristics (output-current
decrease or increase). The unit operates normally once
the output current is brought back into its specified
range.
