x.xxx +0.010 in. (x.xx +0.25mm)

7) Weight: 1.5 oz. (42 g) typical

8) Workmanship: Meets or exceeds IPC-A-610C Class II

UL/TUV standards require a clearance greater than 0.04”

(1.02mm) between input and output for basic insulation. This issue

should be considered if any copper traces are on the top side of the

user’s board. Note that the ferrite cores are considered part of the

input/primary circuit.

10) The flanged pins are designed to permit surface mount solder-

ing (allowing to avoid the wave soldering process) through the

use of the flanged pin-in-paste technique.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES

The PowerQor series converter uses a two-stage power conver-

sion topology. The first stage is a buck-converter that keeps the

output voltage constant over variations in line, load, and temper-

ature. The second stage uses a transformer to provide the func-

tions of input/output isolation and voltage step-down to achieve

the low output voltage required.

Both the first stage and the second stage switch at a fixed fre-

quency for predictable EMI performance. Rectification of the

transformer’s output is accomplished with synchronous rectifiers.

These devices, which are MOSFETs with a very low on-state resis-

tance, dissipate far less energy than Schottky diodes. This is the

primary reason that the PowerQor converter has such high effi-

ciency, even at very low output voltages and very high output cur-

rents.

Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not

require a heatsink for operation. Since a heatsink is not required,

the PowerQor converter does not need a metal baseplate or pot-

ting material to help conduct the dissipated energy to the

heatsink. The PowerQor converter can thus be built more simply

and reliably using high yield surface mount techniques on a PCB

substrate.

The PowerQor series of half-brick and quarter-brick converters

uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out configuration.

CONTROL FEATURES

REMOTE ON/OFF (Pin 2): The ON/OFF input, Pin 2, permits

the user to control when the converter is on or off. This input is

referenced to the return terminal of the input bus, Vin(-). There

are two versions of the converter that differ by the sense of the

logic used for the ON/OFF input.

In the positive logic version, the ON/OFF input is active high

(meaning that a high turns the converter on). In the negative logic

version, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning that a low

turns the converter on). Figure A details five possible circuits for

driving the ON/OFF pin. Figure B is a detailed look of the inter-

nal ON/OFF circuitry.

REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 7 and 5): The SENSE(+) inputs cor-

rect for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the con-

verter’s output pins to the load.

Pin 7 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 5 should be con-

nected to Vout(-) at the point on the board where regulation is

desired. A remote connection at the load can adjust for a voltage

drop only as large as that specified in this datasheet, that is

[Vout(+) - Vout(-)]– [Vsense(+) - Vsense(-)]<

Sense Range % x Vout

Pins 7 and 5 must be connected for proper regulation of the out-

put voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter will

deliver an output voltage that is slightly higher than its specified

value.

across the output (pins 8 and 4) to determine when it should trig-

ger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense leads (pins 7

and 5). Therefore, the resistive drop on the board should be

small enough so that output OVP does not trigger, even during

load transients.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM (Pin 6): The TRIM input permits the

user to adjust the output voltage across the sense leads up or

down according to the trim range specifications.

To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor

between Pin 6 and Pin 5 (SENSE(-) input). For a desired decrease

of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be

where

To increase the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor

between Pin 6 and Pin 7 (SENSE(+) input). For a desired increase

of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be

and Rtrim-up and Rtrim-down, showing the total range the output

voltage can be trimmed up or down.

Note: the TRIM feature does not affect the voltage at which the

output over-voltage protection circuit is triggered. Trimming the

output voltage too high may cause the over-voltage protection cir-

cuit to engage, particularly during transients.

It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the Trim pin.

The node is internally bypassed to eliminate noise.

Total DC Variation of Vout: For the converter to meet its full

specifications, the maximum variation of the DC value of Vout,

due to both trimming and remote load voltage drops, should not

be greater than that specified for the output voltage trim range.

PROTECTION FEATURES

Input Under-Voltage Lockout: The converter is designed to

turn off when the input voltage is too low, helping avoid an input

system instability problem, described in more detail in the appli-

cation note titled “Input System Instability”. The lockout circuitry

is a comparator with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage is ris-

ing, it must exceed the typical Turn-On Voltage Threshold value

(listed on the specification page) before the converter will turn

on. Once the converter is on, the input voltage must fall below

the typical Turn-Off Voltage Threshold value before the converter

will turn off.

Output Current Limit: The maximum current limit remains con-

stant as the output voltage drops. However, once the impedance

of the short across the output is small enough to make the output

voltage drop below the specified Output DC Current-Limit

Shutdown Voltage, the converter turns off.

The converter then enters a “hiccup mode” where it repeatedly

turns on and off at a 5 Hz (nominal) frequency with a 5% duty

cycle until the short circuit condition is removed. This prevents

excessive heating of the converter or the load board.

Output Over-Voltage Limit: If the voltage across the output

pins exceeds the Output Over-Voltage Protection threshold, the

converter will immediately stop switching. This prevents damage

to the load circuit due to 1) excessive series resistance in output

current path from converter output pins to sense point, 2) a

release of a short-circuit condition, or 3) a release of a current

limit condition. Load capacitance determines exactly how high

the output voltage will rise in response to these conditions. After

200 ms the converter will automatically restart.

Over-Temperature Shutdown: A temperature sensor on the

converter senses the average temperature of the module. The

thermal shutdown circuit is designed to turn the converter off

when the temperature at the sensed location reaches the Over-

Temperature Shutdown value. It will allow the converter to turn on

again when the temperature of the sensed location falls by the

Rtrim-up

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS

Input System Instability: This

condition can occur because

any DC/DC converter appears incrementally as a negative

resistance load. A detailed application note titled “Input

System Instability” is available on the SynQor web site

(www.synqor.com) which provides an understanding of why

this instability arises, and shows the preferred solution for cor-

recting it.

Application Circuits: Figure D below provides a typical cir-

cuit diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trim-

ming.

Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure E below

provides a diagram showing the internal input filter components.

This filter dramatically reduces input terminal ripple current,

which otherwise could exceed the rating of an external elec-

trolytic input capacitor. The recommended external input capac-

itance is specified in the “Input Characteristics” section. More

detailed information is available in the application note titled

“EMI Characteristics” on the SynQor website.

Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures that

the converter will remain off for approximately 200ms when it is

shut down for any reason. When an output short is present, this

generates a 5Hz "hiccup mode," which prevents the converter

from overheating. In all, there are seven ways that the converter

can be shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period:

• Input Under-Voltage Lockout

• Input Over-Voltage Shutdown (not present in Quarter-brick)

• Output Over-Voltage Protection

• Over Temperature Shutdown

• Current Limit

• Short Circuit Protection

• Turned off by the ON/OFF input

Figure F shows three turn-on scenarios, where a Startup Inhibit

Period is initiated at t0, t1, and t2:

Before time t0, when the input voltage is below the UVL threshold,

the unit is disabled by the Input Under-Voltage Lockout feature.

When the input voltage rises above the UVL threshold, the Input

Under-Voltage Lockout is released, and a Startup Inhibit Period is

initiated. At the end of this delay, the ON/OFF pin is evaluated,

and since it is active, the unit turns on.

At time t1, the unit is disabled by the ON/OFF pin, and it cannot

be enabled again until the Startup Inhibit Period has elapsed.

When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t2, the Startup Inhibit

Period has elapsed, and the output turns on within the typical

Turn-On Time.

RoHS Compliance: The EU led RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous

Substances) Directive bans the use of Lead, Cadmium,

Hexavalent Chromium, Mercury, Polybrominated Biphenyls

(PBB), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) in Electrical

and Electronic Equipment. This SynQor product is available as

6/6 RoHS compliant. For more information please refer to
