Description

The QC/QW030-Series Power Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage range of

18 Vdc to 36 Vdc or 36 Vdc to 7 5Vdc and provide a precisely regulated dc output. The outputs are fully

isolated from the inputs, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules

have maximum power ratings of 30 W at a typical full-load efficiency of up to 86%.

These encapsulated modules offer a metal case for optimum thermal performance. Threaded-through holes are

provided to allow easy mounting or addition of a heat sink for high-temperature applications. The standard feature

set includes remote sensing, output trim, and remote on/off for convenient flexibility in distributed power

applications.

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.

* Maximum case temperature varies based on power dissipation. See power derating curves for details.

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

fusing 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 (for QW030) and 10 A (for QC030)

(see Safety Considerations 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.

QW/QC030-Series Power Modules: dc-dc Converters;

Design Considerations (continued)

Input Source Impedance

The power module should be connected to a low

ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source

impedances can affect the stability of the power mod-

ule. If the input source inductance exceeds 4 µH, a

33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 Ω at 100 kHz)

mounted close to the power module helps ensure sta-

bility of the unit.

Safety Considerations

QW Modules

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.,

60950,

CSA

C22.2 No. 60950-00, and

VDE

0805 (EN60950-1).

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 hazardous voltages, including the

ac mains.

■One VI pin and one VO 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 safety 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 pin and ground.

The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs

when all inputs are ELV.

The input to the QW030 is to be provided with a maxi-

mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.

The input to the QC030 is to be provided with a maxi-

mum 10 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.

Feature Descriptions

Overcurrent Protection

To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condi-

tion, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting

circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlim-

ited duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the

unit shifts from voltage control to current control. 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.

Remote On/Off

Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic

remote on/off turns the module on during a logic-high

voltage on the remote ON/OFF pin, and off during a

logic low. Negative logic remote on/off, device code suf-

fix “1,” turns the module off during logic-high voltage

and on during a logic low.

To turn the power module on and off, the user must

supply a switch to control the voltage between the

on/off terminal and the VI(–) terminal (Von/off). The

switch may be an open collector or equivalent (see

Figure 4). A logic low is Von/off = –0.7 V to 1.2 V. The

maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch

should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking 1 mA.

During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by

the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable

leakage current of the switch at V on/off = 15 V is 50 µA.

If not using the remote on/off feature, do one of the

following:

For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.

For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VI(–).

Feature Descriptions (continued)

Remote Sense

Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution

losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense

connections. The voltage between the remote-sense

pins and the output terminals must not exceed the out-

put voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifica-

tions table, e.g., on the QW030A:

[VO(+) – VO(–)] –[SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] ≤ 0.5 V

The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals

must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage pro-

tection value shown in the Feature Specifications table.

This limit includes any increase in voltage due to

remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-

point adjustment (trim). See Figure 5.

If not using the remote-sense feature to regulate the

output at the point of load, then connect SENSE(+) to

VO(+) and SENSE(–) to VO(–) at the module.

Although the output voltage can be increased by both

the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum

increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.

The maximum increase is the larger of either the

remote sense or the trim. Consult your Tyco Electron-

ics’ Account Manager or Application Engineer if you

need to increase the output voltage more than the

above limitation.

The amount of power delivered by the module is

defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied

by the output current. When using remote sense and

trim, the output voltage of the module can be

increased, which at the same output current would

increase the power output of the module. Care should

be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of

the module remains at or below the maximum rated

power.

8-651(C).m

Figure 5. QC/QW030-Series Effective Circuit

Configuration for Single-Module Remote-

Sense Operation

Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment

(Trim)

Output voltage trim allows the user to increase or

decrease the output voltage set point of a module. This

is accomplished by connecting an external resistor

between the TRIM pin and either the SENSE(+) or

SENSE(–) pins. The trim resistor should be positioned

close to the module.

If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open.

With an external resistor between the TRIM and

SENSE(+) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point

(VO, adj) decreases (see Figure 6). The following equa-

tion determines the required external-resistor value to

obtain a change in output voltage from VO, nom to VO, adj.

The values of G, H, and L are shown in Table 5.

The QC/QW030 modules have a fixed current-limit set

point. As the output voltage is adjusted down, the avail-

able output power is reduced.

With an external resistor connected between the TRIM

and SENSE(–) pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set

point (VO, adj) increases (see Figure 7).

The following equation determines the required exter-

nal-resistor value to obtain a change in output voltage

from VO, nom to VO, adj. The values of G, H, K, and L are

shown in Table 5.

Table 5. Values for Trim Equations

The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals

must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage pro-

tection value shown in the Feature Specifications table.

This limit includes any increase in voltage due to

remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-

point adjustment (trim). See Figure 5.

Output Overvoltage Protection

The output overvoltage clamp consists of control

circuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop,

that monitors the voltage on the output terminals. This

control loop has a higher voltage set point than the

primary loop (see the Feature Specifications table). In

a fault condition, the overvoltage clamp ensures that

the output voltage does not exceed VO, clamp, max. This

provides a redundant voltage-control that reduces the

risk of output overvoltage.

Overtemperature Protection

These modules feature overtemperature protection to

safeguard the modules against thermal damage.

When the temperature exceeds the overtemperature

threshold given in the feature specifications table, the

module will limit the available output current in order to

help protect against thermal damage. The overcurrent

inception point will gradually move back to its original

level as the module is cooled below the overtempera-

ture threshold.

Input Undervoltage Lockout

At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout

limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will

begin to operate at an input voltage between the under-

voltage lockout limit and the minimum operating input

voltage.

Thermal Considerations

Introduction

The power modules operate in a variety of thermal

environments; however, sufficient cooling should be

provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.

Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are ther-

mally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduc-

tion, convection, and radiation to the surrounding

environment. Proper cooling can be verified by mea-

suring the case temperature. The case temperature

should be measured at the position indicated in

Figure 8.

8-2104(C).a

Note: Top view, pin locations are for reference only.

Measurements shown in millimeters and (inches).

Figure 8. QC/QW030-Series Case Temperature

Measurement Location

The temperature at this location should not exceed

105 °C. The output power of the module should not

exceed the rated power for the module as listed in the

Ordering Information table.

Although the maximum case temperature of the power

modules is 105 °C, you can limit this temperature to a

lower value for extremely high reliability.

Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks

Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat

transfer via convection. Figures 9 and 10 show the

maximum power that can be dissipated by the module

without exceeding the maximum case temperature ver-

sus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural convec-

tion through 3 m/s (600 ft./min.).

Systems in which these power modules may be used

typically generate natural convection airflow rates of

0.3 ms–1 (60 ft./min.) due to other heat-dissipating com-

ponents in the system. Therefore, the natural convec-

tion condition represents airflow rates of up to 0. 3ms–1

(60 ft./min.). Use of Figure 9 is shown in the following

example.

Example

What is the minimum airflow necessary for a QW030A

operating at VI = 48 V, an output current of 3.5 A, and a

maximum ambient temperature of 89 °C?

Solution

Given: VI = 48 V

IO = 3.5 A

TA = 89 °C

Determine PD (Use Figure 12.):

PD = 3 W

Determine airflow (v) (Use Figure 9.):

v = 1.0 m/s (200 ft./min.)

Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks

The power modules have through-threaded, M3 x 0.5

mounting holes, which enable heat sinks or cold plates

to attach to the module. The mounting torque must not

exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in.-lb.). For a screw attachment

from the pin side, the recommended hole size on the

customer’s PWB around the mounting holes is 0.130

± 0.005 inches. The mounting torque from the pin side

must not exceed 0.25 N-m (2.2 in.-lbs.).

Thermal derating with heat sinks is expressed by using

the overall thermal resistance of the module. Total

module thermal resistance (θca) is defined as the max-

imum case temperature rise (∆TC, max) divided by the

module power dissipation (PD):

The location to measure case temperature (TC) is

shown in Figure 8. Consult your Tyco Electronics’

Account Manager or Application Engineer for case-to-

ambient thermal resistance vs. airflow for various heat

sink configurations, heights, and orientations. Longitu-

dinal orientation is defined as the long axis of the mod-

ule that is parallel to the airflow direction, whereas in

the transverse orientation, the long axis is perpendicu-

lar to the airflow. These curves are obtained by experi-

mental testing of heat sinks, which are offered in the

product catalog.

These measured resistances are from heat transfer

from the sides and bottom of the module as well as the

top side with the attached heat sink; therefore, the

case-to-ambient thermal resistances shown are gener-

ally lower than the resistance of the heat sink by itself.

The module used to collect the data in the case-to-

ambient thermal resistance curves had a thermal-con-

ductive dry pad between the case and the heat sink to

minimize contact resistance.

Custom Heat Sinks

A more detailed model can be used to determine the

required thermal resistance of a heat sink to provide

necessary cooling. The total module resistance can be

separated into a resistance from case-to-sink (θcs) and

sink-to-ambient (θsa) as shown in Figure 15.

8-1304(C)

Figure 15. QC/QW030-Series Resistance from

Case-to-Sink and Sink-to-Ambient

For a managed interface using thermal grease or foils,

a value of θcs = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical. The

solution for heat sink resistance is:

This equation assumes that all dissipated power must

be shed by the heat sink. Depending on the user-

defined application environment, a more accurate

model, including heat transfer from the sides and bot-

tom of the module, can be used. This equation pro-

vides a conservative estimate for such instances.

Layout Considerations

Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power

module standoffs. For additional layout guidelines, refer

to the FLTR100V10 or FLTR100V20 data sheet.
