BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
The MCOTS DC-DC converter uses a two-stage power conversion
topology. The first, or regulation, stage is a buck-converter that
keeps the output voltage constant over variations in line, load, and
temperature. The second, or isolation, stage uses transformers
to provide the functions of input/output isolation and voltage
transformation to achieve the output voltage required.
Both the regulation and the isolation stages switch at a fixed
frequency for predictable EMI performance. The isolation stage
switches at one half the frequency of the regulation stage, but due
to the push-pull nature of this stage it creates a ripple at double its
switching frequency. As a result, both the input and the output of
the converter have a fundamental ripple frequency of about 550 kHz
in the free-running mode.
Rectification of the isolation stage’s output is accomplished with
synchronous rectifiers. These devices, which are MOSFETs with a
very low resistance, dissipate far less energy than would Schottky
diodes. This is the primary reason why the MCOTS converters have
such high efficiency, particularly at low output voltages.
Besides improving efficiency, the synchronous rectifiers permit
operation down to zero load current. There is no longer a need
for a minimum load, as is typical for converters that use diodes for
rectification. The synchronous rectifiers actually permit a negative
load current to flow back into the converter’s output terminals if
the load is a source of short or long term energy. The MCOTS
converters employ a “back-drive current limit” to keep this negative
output terminal current small.
There is a control circuit in the MCOTS converter that determines
the conduction state of the power switches. It communicates
across the isolation barrier through a magnetically coupled device.
No opto-isolators are used.
An input under-voltage shutdown feature with hysteresis is provided,
as well as an input over-voltage shutdown and an output overvoltage limit. There is also an output current limit that is nearly
constant as the load impedance decreases (i.e., there is not foldback or fold-forward characteristic to the output current under this
condition). When a load fault is removed, the output voltage rises
exponentially to its nominal value without an overshoot. If a load
fault pulls the output voltage below about 60% of nominal, the
converter will shut down to attempt to clear the load fault. After a
short delay it will try to auto‑restart.
The MCOTS converter’s control circuit does not implement an overtemperature shutdown.
The following sections describe the use and operation of additional
control features provided by the MCOTS converter.
CONTROL FEATURES
Remote ON/OFF: The MCOTS converter has one on/off function
pin, ON/OFF (pin 4), which is referenced with respect to the
converter’s input return (pin 2). It must have a logic high level for
the converter to be enabled; a logic low inhibits the converter.
Product # MCOTS-C-28-3R3S-DM Phone 1-888-567-9596
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled high so that an open connection
will enable the converter. Figure A shows the equivalent circuit
looking into the ON/OFF pin. It is TTL compatible and has hysteresis.
SHUT DOWN: The MCOTS converter will shut down in response
to only five conditions: ON/OFF input low, VIN input below
under-voltage shutdown threshold, VIN input above over-voltage

shutdown threshold, output voltage below the output undervoltage threshold, and output voltage above the output overvoltage threshold. Following any shutdown event, there is a startup
inhibit delay which will prevent the converter from restarting for
approximately 100ms. After the 100ms delay elapses, if the ON/
OFF inputs are high and the input voltage is within the operating
range, the converter will restart. If the VIN input is brought down
to nearly 0V and back into the operating range, there is no startup
inhibit, and the output voltage will rise according to the “Turn-On
Delay, Rising Vin” specification.
REMOTE SENSE: The purpose of the remote sense pins is to
correct for the voltage drop along the conductors that connect the
converter’s output to the load. To achieve this goal, a separate
conductor should be used to connect the +SENSE pin (pin 10)
directly to the positive terminal of the load, as shown in the
connection diagram on Page 2. Similarly, the –SENSE pin (pin 9)
should be connected through a separate conductor to the return
terminal of the load.
NOTE: Even if remote sensing of the load voltage is not desired, the
+SENSE and the -SENSE pins must be connected to +Vout (pin 7)
and OUTPUT RETURN (pin 8), respectively, to get proper regulation
of the converter’s output. If they are left open, the converter will
have an output voltage that is approximately 200mV higher than its
specified value.
Inside the converter, +SENSE is connected to +Vout with a
100Ω resistor and –SENSE is connected to OUTPUT RETURN
with a 10Ω resistor.
It is also important to note that when remote sense is used, the
voltage across the converter’s output terminals (pins 7 and 8)
will be higher than the converter’s nominal output voltage due to
resistive drops along the connecting wires. This higher voltage at
the terminals produces a greater voltage stress on the converter’s
internal components and may cause the converter to fail to deliver

the desired output voltage at the low end of the input voltage range
at the higher end of the load current and temperature range. Please
consult the factory for details.
SYNCHRONIZATION: The MCOTS converter’s switching
frequency can be synchronized to an external frequency source that
is in the 500 kHz to 700 kHz range. A pulse train at the desired
frequency should be applied to the SYNC IN pin (pin 6) with respect
to the INPUT RETURN (pin 2). This pulse train should have a duty
cycle in the 20% to 80% range. Its low value should be below 0.8V
to be guaranteed to be interpreted as a logic low, and its high value
should be above 2.0V to be guaranteed to be interpreted as a logic
high. The transition time between the two states should be less
than 300ns.
If the MCOTS converter is not to be synchronized, the SYNC IN pin
should be left open circuit. The converter will then operate in its
free-running mode at a frequency of approximately 550 kHz.
If, due to a fault, the SYNC IN pin is held in either a logic low or
logic high state continuously, or the SYNC IN frequency is outside
the 500-700 kHz range, the MCOTS converter will revert to its freerunning frequency.
The MCOTS converter also has a SYNC OUT pin (pin 5). This output
can be used to drive the SYNC IN pins of as many as ten (10) other
MCOTS converters. The pulse train coming out of SYNC OUT has
a duty cycle of 50% and a frequency that matches the switching
frequency of the converter with which it is associated. This
frequency is either the free‑running frequency if there is no valid
synchronization signal at the SYNC IN pin, or the synchronization
frequency if there is.
Figure B shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC IN pin
and Figure C shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC
OUT pin.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: the TRIM pin (pin 11) can adjust the
MCOTS converter’s output voltage ±10% around its nominal value.
To trim the output voltage above its nominal value, connect an
external resistor from the TRIM pin to the –SENSE pin as shown
in Figure D. The value of this trim up resistor should be chosen
according to the following equation or from Figure E:

- 30000Ω
Vout - Vnom
where:
Vnom = the converter’s nominal output voltage,
Vout = the desired output voltage (greater than Vnom),
and
Rtrim up is in Ohms.
As the output voltage is trimmed up, it produces a greater voltage
stress on the converter’s internal components and may cause the
converter to fail to deliver the desired output voltage at the low
end of the input voltage range at the higher end of the load current
and temperature range. Please consult the factory for details.
To trim the output voltage below its nominal value, connect an
external resistor between the TRIM pin and the +SENSE pin. The
value of this trim down resistor should be chosen according to the
following equation or from Figure E:
15400Ω*Vout - 6100Ω*Vnom
- 30000Ω

Rtrim down(Ω) =
where:
Vnom = the converter’s nominal output voltage,

and
Rtrim down is in Ohms.
INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MCOTS converter
has an under-voltage shutdown feature that ensures the converter
will be off if the input voltage is too low. The input voltage turnon threshold is higher than the turn-off threshold. In addition, the
MCOTS converter will not respond to a state of the input voltage
unless it has remained in that state for more than about 200µs. This
hysteresis and the delay ensure proper operation when the source
impedance is high or in a noisy environment.
INPUT OVER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MCOTS converter
also has an over-voltage feature that ensures the converter will be
off if the input voltage is too high. It also has a hysteresis and time
delay to ensure proper operation.
OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MCOTS converter
will shut down if the voltage at its power output pins ever exceeds

about 130% of the nominal value. The shutdown threshold does not
change with output trim or sense drops; excessive trim-up or output
wiring drops may cause an output over-voltage shutdown event.
After a startup inhibit delay, the converter will attempt to restart.
OUTPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MCOTS converter
will also shut down if the voltage at its power output pins ever dips
below 60% of the nominal value for more than a few milliseconds.
Output voltage reduction due to output current overload (current
limit) is the most common trigger for this shutdown. The shutdown
threshold does not change with output trim but at only 10%, trimdown should not trigger this event. After a startup inhibit delay,
the converter will attempt to restart. This shutdown is disabled
during startup.
BACK-DRIVE CURRENT LIMIT: Converters that use MOSFETs
as synchronous rectifiers are capable of drawing a negative current
from the load if the load is a source of short- or long-term energy.
This negative current is referred to as a “back-drive current”.
Conditions where back-drive current might occur include paralleled
converters that do not employ current sharing. It can also occur
External Trim Resistance (kOhms)
10000
Trim Up
Trim Down
To avoid any problems that might arise due to back-drive current,
the MCOTS converters limit the negative current that the converter
can draw from its output terminals. The threshold for this backdrive current limit is placed sufficiently below zero so that the
converter may operate properly down to zero load, but its absolute
value (see the Electrical Characteristics page) is small compared to
the converter’s rated output current.
CURRENT LIMIT: In the event of excess load, the MCOTS converter
will quickly reduce its output voltage to keep the load current within
safe limits (see Figure 6). If the overload persists for more than 14
milliseconds, the converter will shut off, wait a restart delay, and
then automatically attempt to re-start. The timeout is internally
implemented with an integrator: counting up whenever current limit
is active, and counting down at 1/5th the rate whenever current limit
becomes inactive. In this way a series of short-duration overloads
will not cause the converter to shut down, while it will shut down in
response to sustained overloads.
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 website which provides an understanding
of why this instability arises, and shows the preferred solution for
correcting it.

Thermal Considerations: The maximum operating baseplate
temperature, TB, is 100ºC. Refer to the thermal derating curve,

temperatures below 100ºC.

when converters having different output voltages are connected
together through either explicit or parasitic diodes that, while
normally off, become conductive during startup or shutdown.
Finally, some loads, such as motors, can return energy to their
power rail. Even a load capacitor is a source of back-drive energy
for some period of time during a shutdown transient.
