DC-DC Converter
The NiQor Eighth-brick dc-dc converter is a non‑isolated buckboost regulator, which employs synchronous rectification to
achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. The High
Non-Isolated
Input Voltage NiQor Brick family of converters can be used
in traditional DPA (distributed power architecture) systems
or provide a regulated output voltage from a battery source
or other variable voltage source. The NiQor Eighth-brick
NQ4
family can be configured to Buck the input voltage down to

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
PROTECTION FEATURES
These converters use a digital controller for the buck stage
and the boost stage. It automatically changes operating mode
(buck or boost) when the line voltage or output set point
changes. Both stages are accomplished with synchronous
rectifiers. Very high efficiency is maintained over wide input
and output voltage ranges by the change in operational mode
and the use of synchronous rectifiers.
Input Under-Voltage Lockout:
The converter is
designed to turn off when the input voltage is too low,
which helps to avoid an input system instability problem
(described in more detail in the application note titled “Input
System Instability”). The lockout circuitry is a comparator
with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage is rising, 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.
The converter runs at a fixed frequency with a predictable
EMI performance.
Note: Since this converter supports a wide range of input and
output voltage, the current rating and current limit function
affect both input and output current, whichever is higher at
the time. When in buck mode, the output current is higher. In
boost mode the input current is higher.
CONTROL FEATURES
REMOTE ON/OFF: The On/Off input permits the user to
control when the converter is on or off. Only Negative ON/
OFF logic is available in this power module series.
The negative logic ON/OFF signal turns the module OFF when
it is high (leave the pin floating or set its voltage between
1.8~3.3 V) and turns the module ON when it is low (below
0.8V with respect to Vin-).
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: The output voltage can be
programmed to any voltage between 0Vdc and Vrated by
connecting one resistor between the Pin 6 (TRIM) pin and
Pin 5 [Sense(-)](S-version) or Pin 4 [Vout(-)](C-version). For a
desired output voltage, the value of the resistor is:
RVtrim(Vout) =
[(
) ]
( )
11900 x Vrated
Vtrim + 0.0543 x Vrated
_ 10912
(Ω)
Output Current Shutdown: To provide protection in an
output short condition, the unit is equipped with internal
short circuit protection. When the short circuit protection is
triggered, the unit first shuts down. After an approximately
16 ms inhibit time, the unit turns on again. If the short
circuit condition remains, the current limit circuit will control
the output current. The unit will operate normally once the
fault condition is removed.
Internal Over-Voltage Protection (OVP): To protect
the load against an excessive output voltage, an output
over-voltage shutdown feature is included. This OVP is fixed
and independent of the output voltage set point.
Over-Temperature Shutdown: A temperature sensor
on the converter senses the average temperature of the
module. The over temperature 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 amount of
the Over-Temperature Shutdown Restart Hysteresis value.
Alternatively, the TRIM pin can be driven from an external
voltage source:
Vpin6 = 2.366 – 2.284
Vtrim
Vrated
Where, for both approaches:
Vtrim = desired output voltage setpoint
Vrated = rated output voltage
Vpin6 = trim pin voltage (when driven externally)
RVtrim = resistor value to set Vout
Note: To maintain the accuracy of the output voltage over
load current, it is vital that any trim resistor be connected to
the converter’s Sense(-) pin (for the S-option) or Vout(-) pin
(for the C-option), locally at the converter, not at a remote
location nearer to the load. A separate Kelvin connection to
the PCB pad for the Vout(-) is optimal for the C-option.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Limited output voltage resolution: The internal voltage
control feedback loop is digital and has limited resolution.
Therefore, the output voltage will exhibit discrete steps as
the loop responds to changes in line, load, trim, or remote
sense. For instance, on close examination, the startup ramp
has a “stair-step” shape. Likewise, a load transient response
will be composed of multiple discrete steps.
Input filtering: These modules should be connected to a
low-impedance source. A highly inductive source can affect
the stability of the module. An input capacitor with an ESR
must be placed directly adjacent to the input pin of the
module to minimize input ripple voltage and ensure module
stability.
Negative output: This series of converters can be
connected to achieve a negative output from a positive
input as shown in Fig A.

See application note: Input System Instability
(http://www.synqor.com/documents/appnotes/appnt_System_Instability.pdf)
Output capacitance: No extra external capacitor is
required. However, to reduce the output ripple and
improve dynamic response to a step load change additional
capacitance at the output can be used. Low ESR polymer
and ceramic capacitors are recommended to improve the
dynamic response of the module. The addition of external
output capacitance may cause the start-up time to change.
Using this negative output configuration impacts the available
output voltage range and current limit.
The output voltage range becomes 0 to (Vmax - Vin), and
the current limit (for either the buck or boost modes) is
scaled by:
Irated(neg) =
Vin
(Vin + Vout)
* Irated
Remote sense (S-option only): Vout remote sensing
is provided to achieve proper regulation at the load points
and reduce effects of distribution losses on output line. The
module can correct for a total of 10% drop in the output
lines. In the event of an open remote sense line, the
module will maintain regulation through an internal resistor
connection.
Current limit: The available power is limited by an output
current limit in buck mode (when Vin>Vout) and by an input
current limit in boost mode (when Vin<Vout).
for Vin >Vout:
Ilimit = 1.2 x Imax
for Vin < Vout:
Ilimit = 1.2 x Imax x
( Vout )

In addition to voltage trim, the C-option offers an adjustable

value of RItrim as follows:

Output voltage trim: The RVtrim resistor increases the
output voltage, identical in function to the S-option (p.9).
Output current limit: There are three levels of current
that must be understood when considering the term
“Output Current Limit” as listed below:
IOCL = over-current limit (from datasheet Output Characteristics: Output DC Over Current Limit). This is a built in
fixed value of current at which the converter will limit.
where Itrim is the desired current limit setpoint
Note: It is possible to choose RItrim such as that Itrim
is greater than Irated, but SynQor does not recommend
continuous operation above Irated.
Note: When in boost-mode, the output current could still
be limited by the maximum current limit, IOCL, applied to
the input current.
Current monitor: The Imon pin voltage tracks the output
current, as shown in figure 9. Zero load current is 1.25V and
maximum rated load current is 1.83V. This pin has a 49.9
Ohm output impedance.
