Electrical Characteristics Notes
1. Converter will undergo input over-voltage shutdown.
2. Derate output power for continuous operation per Figure 5.
3. High or low state of input voltage must persist for about 200µs to be acted on by the shutdown circuitry.
4. Current limit inception is defined as the point where the output voltage has dropped to 90% of its nominal value. See Current Limit discussion in
Features Description section.
5. Parameter not tested but guaranteed to the limit specified.
6. Load current transition time ≥ 10µs.
7. Line voltage transition time ≥ 100µs.
8. Input voltage rise time ≤ 250µs.
9. Operating the converter at a synchronization frequency above the free running frequency will cause the converter’s efficiency to be slightly reduced
and it may also cause a slight reduction in the maximum output current/power available. For more information consult the factory.
10. After a disable or fault event, module is inhibited from restarting for 100ms. See Shut Down section of the Control Features description.
11. Only the ES and HB grade products are tested at three temperatures. The C grade products are tested at one temperature. Please refer to the
Construction and Environmental Stress Screening Options table for details.
12. These derating curves apply for the ES and HB grade products. The C grade product has a maximum case temperature of 70ºC.
13. The specified operating case temperature for ES grade products is -45ºC to 100ºC. The specified operating case temperature for C grade products
is 0ºC to 70ºC.

Application Section
BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
The MQBL 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.
ENABLE: The MQBL converter has one enable pin, ENA1
(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.
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 freerunning 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 MQBL 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 MQBL converters employ a “backdrive current limit” to keep this negative output terminal
current small.
There is a control circuit in the MQBL 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 over-voltage limit. There is also an output current
limit that is nearly constant as the load impedance decreases
(i.e., there is not fold-back 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 MQBL converter’s control circuit does not implement an
over-temperature shutdown.
The following sections describe the use and operation of
additional control features provided by the MQBL converter.

The enable pin is internally pulled high so that an open
connection will enable the converter. Figure A shows the
equivalent circuit looking into the enable pin. It is TTL
compatible and has hysteresis.

SHUT DOWN: The MQBL converter will shut down in
response to only five conditions: ENA input low, VIN input
below under-voltage shutdown threshold, VIN input above
over-voltage shutdown threshold, output voltage below the
output under-voltage threshold, and output voltage above
the output over-voltage 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 enable 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.

Output: 3.3V
Current: 6A
Application Section
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 MQBL 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 MQBL 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 MQBL converter will
revert to its free-running frequency.
The MQBL 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 MQBL 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.
The synchronization feature is entirely compatible with that
of SynQor’s MQFL family of converters.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: the TRIM pin (pin 11) can
adjust the MQBL 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:
Rtrim up(Ω) = 6100Ω*Vnom
Vout - Vnom - 30000Ω
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:
Rtrim down(Ω) = 15400Ω*Vout - 6100Ω*Vnom
- 30000Ω
Vnom - Vout

OUTPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MQBL
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.

INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MQBL
converter has an under-voltage shutdown feature that
ensures the converter will be off if the input voltage is too
low. The input voltage turn-on threshold is higher than
the turn-off threshold. In addition, the MQBL 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 MQBL
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 MQBL
converter will shut down if the voltage at its power output
pins ever exceeds about 130% of the nominal value. The

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 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.
To avoid any problems that might arise due to back-drive
current, the MQBL converters limit the negative current that
the converter can draw from its output terminals. The
threshold for this back-drive 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 MQBL
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.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS: Figure 5 shows the suggested
Power Derating Curves for this converter as a function of the case
temperature and the maximum desired power MOSFET junction
temperature. All other components within the converter are cooler
than its hottest MOSFET, which at full power is no more than 20ºC
higher than the case temperature directly below this MOSFET.
The Mil-HDBK-1547A component derating guideline calls
for a maximum component temperature of 105ºC. Figure 5
therefore has one power derating curve that ensures this limit
is maintained. It has been SynQor’s extensive experience that
reliable long-term converter operation can be achieved with
a maximum component temperature of 125ºC. In extreme
cases, a maximum temperature of 145ºC is permissible, but not
recommended for long-term operation where high reliability is
required. Derating curves for these higher temperature limits
are also included in Figure 5. The maximum case temperature
at which the converter should be operated is 135ºC.

Phone 1-888-567-9596
When the converter is mounted on a metal plate, the plate
will help to make the converter’s case bottom a uniform
temperature. How well it does so depends on the thickness
of the plate and on the thermal conductance of the interface
layer (e.g. thermal grease, thermal pad, etc.) between
the case and the plate. Unless this is done very well, it
is important not to mistake the plate’s temperature for the
maximum case temperature. It is easy for them to be as much
as 5-10ºC different at full power and at high temperatures.
It is suggested that a thermocouple be attached directly to
the converter’s case through a small hole in the plate when
investigating how hot the converter is getting. Care must
also be made to ensure that there is not a large thermal
resistance between the thermocouple and the case due to
whatever adhesive might be used to hold the thermocouple
in place.
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.
