BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
With voltages dropping and currents rising, the economics of an
Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) are becoming more attractive,
especially in systems requiring multiple low voltages. IBA systems
separate the role of isolation and voltage scaling from regulation
and sensing. The BusQor series bus converter provides isolation
and a coarse voltage step down in one compact module, leaving
regulation to simpler, less expensive non-isolated converters.
In Figure A below, the BusQor module provides the isolation
stage of the IBA system. The isolated bus then distributes power
to the non-isolated buck regulators to generate the required
voltage levels at the point of load. In this case, the bucks are
represented with SynQor’s NiQor series of non-isolated dc/dc
converters. In many applications requiring multiple low voltage
outputs, significant savings can be achieved in board space and
overall system costs.
When designing an IBA system with bus converters, the designer
can select from a variety of bus voltages. While there is no
universally ideal bus voltage, most designs employ one of the
following: 12V, 9V, 7.5V, 5V, or 3.3V. Higher bus voltages can
lead to lower efficiency for the buck regulators but are more
efficient for the bus converter and provide lower board level
distribution current. Lower bus voltages offer the opposite trade
offs.
42-53 V
12 V
20 A
Quarter-brick
systems, the output variation of the BusQor must be in
accordance with the input voltage range of the non-isolated
converters being employed.
The BusQor architecture is very scalable, meaning multiple bus
converters can be connected directly in parallel to allow current
sharing for higher power applications.
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 B is a detailed look of the
internal ON/OFF circuitry. Positive logic enabled modules have
N-channel FET populated. Negative logic enabled modules have

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
application note titled “Input System Instability” available on the
SynQor website. 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 TurnOff Voltage Threshold value before the converter will turn off.
Also see Figure E.
Output Current Limit: The output of the BusQor module is
electronically protected against output overloads. When an
overload current greater than the “DC Current-Limit Inception”
specification is drawn from the output, the output shuts down to
zero volt in a period of 40µs typical (see Figure C). The
shutdown period lasts for a typical period of 250ms (Figure D)
after which the BusQor tries to power up again. If the overload
persists, the output voltage will go through repeated cycles of
shutdown and restart with a duty cycle of 40µs (On) and 250ms

flow into the short circuit for a period of about 300µs. The output
of the BusQor will shutdown to zero volts for the same period
(Figure D). The shutdown period lasts for a period of 250ms, at
the end of which the BusQor module tries to power up again. If
the short circuit persists, the output voltage will go through
repeated cycles of shutdown and restart with a duty cycle of
350µs (On) and 250ms (Off) respectively. The BusQor module
returns (auto resetting) to normal operation once the short circuit
is removed. The BusQor is designed to survive in this mode
indefinitely without damage and without human intervention.
In the Auto resetting mode, also referred to as “Hiccup” mode,
the power drawn from the 48V input is about 5 Watts, most of
which is dissipated into the external fault. It is important that
copper traces and pads from the output circuit be designed to
withstand the short term peaks, although the average current into
the fault may be as low as 50mA typical. See Figure 17 for
appropriate waveform.
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 OverTemperature 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.
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Start-Up Inhibit Period: Figure E details the Start-Up Inhibit
Period for the BusQor module. At time t0, when Vin is applied
with On/Off pin asserted (enabled), the BusQor output begins to
build up. Before time t1, 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 typical Startup
Inhibit Period of 350µs is initiated. The output builds up to 90%
or higher of the nominal voltage and stabilizes at the nominal
value of 12V in a period of 420µs typical. The rise time from 0V
to 90% is 70µs typical.
At time t2, when the On/Off pin is de-asserted (disabled), the
BusQor output instantly drops to 0V. Fall time from 12V to 0V is
dependent on output capacitance and any parasitic trace
inductance in the output load circuit.

of 350µs typical.

Keep Out Areas:
Component Keep Out Area: Keep out areas for components not
referenced to the Primary circuit are shown in shaded areas in
Figure F. The keep out areas shown are consistent with UL's
requirements for Basic Insulation of 0.04" (40 mils) for Pollution
degree 2. User should consult UL standards for other insulation
classes and operating environments.

All layers including top and bottom, are subject to the keep out
areas shown around Primary pins of BusQor module. Actual
keep outs along the surface (Creepage) may vary depending on
the PCB material CTI. Users are advised to consult UL standards
for details.
Bridging Components: Bridging components like EMI filter
capacitors required to be placed as close as possible to the
BusQor module for optimum performance must observe the
clearance/creepage requirements of 0.04"(40 mils) between
pads to maintain compliance to UL standards for the overall
power system.
Note: Referenced keep out widths are adequate to withstand
UL's Basic Insulation Dielectric strength tests for approved PCB
materials. Applications requiring Double or Reinforced insulation
must double the keep out widths shown in Figure F. Keep out
areas shown have standard margins above UL's minimum
requirements.
Output Load Current Calculation: The BusQor series
allows the converter output load to be measured without adding
a current loop or external shunt resistor to the designer’s PCB
board under test. On the top side of the BusQor converter is a
current sense resistor as shown in Figure G. The output load
current is proportional to the voltage drop across this sense
resistor. This calculation is detailed below.
A current sense resistor referenced to the primary input is used in
the equation below to calculate the output load current.

Technical Specification
The voltage drop across the sense resistor is about 25mV at full
load of 20A. Therefore, proper measuring techniques must be
used to ensure accuracy. A calibrated DMM set to 300mV is
acceptable. Since this measurement is done on the Primary area
of the converter, a slight non-linearity may be observed over the
load current range. Using the Scale Factor referenced above, the
error may be on the order of 4%. For more detailed information
consult the application note on SynQor’s website titled “Output
Load Current Calculations”.

The current share performance of two paralleled modules is
illustrated in the graph in Figure J. In this graph the percent
deviation from ideal sharing (50%) is plotted for each module
versus the total output load current at 48Vin.

Current Sharing: BusQor modules are designed to operate in
parallel without the use of any external current share circuitry. A
typical circuit for paralleling two BusQor modules is shown in
Figure H. An output capacitor is recommended across each
module and located close to the converter for optimum filtering
and noise control performance. Dedicated input inductors are
recommended but are considered optional. Input capacitors must
be located close to the converter module. PCB layout in the input
circuit should be such that high frequency ripple currents of each
module is restricted to a loop formed by the input capacitors and
the input terminals of the BusQor module. See Figure K for
details on PCB layout. Contact SynQor application engineering
