Rarely, has a Series of low-power DC/DC converters
been defi ned by both low cost and Murata’s quality
and reliability. Our new BST Series of dual-output
3W DC/DC’s achieves this “best-of-both-worlds”
status by implementing a proven circuit architecture
(170-200kHz fl yback design) as a full, SMT-on-pcb
assembly (including surface-mount magnetics) that is
truly 100% automatically assembled. Packaged in min-
iature 1.25"x 0.8", DIP-like plastic packages (UL94V-0
rated) and requiring no external components, BST
Series DC/DC’s bring true component-like convenience
to designers of today’s distributed power systems.
Output voltages are ±5, ±12 or ±15 Volts. Input
voltage ranges are 4.5-9V (“D5” models), 9-18V
(“D12” models) or an ultra-wide 18-72V (“D48”
models). BST DC/DC’s are fully isolated (1000Vdc
guaranteed) and include input (pi type) and output
lters within their package. Output transient response
is a quick 200μsec, while output ripple and noise are
typically 75mVp-p.
These rugged modules are fully encapsulated
with a thermally conductive potting compound that
contributes to their outstanding moisture/vibration
resistance and impressive MTBF. They operate over
the full –40 to +75°C temperature range without der-
ating. All models have been thoroughly characterized
(electrically, mechanically and thermally), qualifi ed
(including HALT), and EMI/EMC tested. Additionally,
they are certifi ed to UL1950, CSA 22.2 No. 950 and
IEC950.
Murata’s BST Model 3W DC/DC’s are excellent
selections for telecom/datacom, computer and
process-control applications demanding small size,
low cost and high reliability. If required, their design
“fl exibility” allows for easy modifi cation to your
application-specifi c requirements.

Performance/Functional Specifi cations
Typical @ TA = +25°C under nominal line voltage and full-load conditions unless noted.
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.
The current limit inception point is dependent on the input voltage. Therefore, it is possible
to draw current beyond the rated capacity. Users should fully characterize their load conditions.

Output Current Maximum current and short-circuit
duration are model dependent. “D12”
and “D48” models can withstand
sustained output short circuits.

These are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to greater than 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 or recommended.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Floating Outputs
Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “fl oating.” Any
BST 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 (pin 6) and –Output (pin 8), with either output grounded. The Common
(pins 5 and 7) should be left open (unconnected). Minimum 20% loading is
recommended under these conditions.
Filtering and Noise Reduction
All BST 3 Watt DC/DC Converters achieve their rated ripple and noise specifi ca-
tions without the use of external input/output capacitors. In critical applications,
input/output ripple and noise may be further reduced by installing electrolytic
capacitors across the input terminals and/or low-ESR tantalum or electrolytic
capacitors across the output terminals. Output capacitors should be con-
nected between their respective output pin (pins 6 and 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
