Isolated
DC-DC Converter
The NiQor® half-brick dc-dc converter is a non-isolated buckboost regulator, which employs synchronous rectification
to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. The High
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 Brick family can be
configured to Buck the input voltage down to a lower voltage
or Boost the input voltage up to a higher voltage using a
single external resistor. The module is RoHS 6/6 compliant
(see last page).

Protection Features
High efficiency, 96% at full rated load current
Delivers up to 40A of output current
Input Voltage Range: 9-60 Vdc
Output Voltage Range: 0 - 60V (negative output is possible)
Extensive on-board input and output filtering
No minimum load requirement means no preload resistors required
Adjustable current limit with current monitor

CONTROL FEATURES
REMOTE ON/OFF: Only Negative On/Off logic is available
in the converter series: logic high at the input turns the
converter Off while a logic low turns in On. Timing of this
is shown in Figures 7, 8. A high level can be driven to any
voltage between 1.5V and 3.3V, or simply left floating as
the unit contains an internal 25K& pull-up to 5.0V. The pin
can be pulled low (to Vsense-) by an optocoupler, an opensource/drain transistor or wired permanently to Vsense-.

This converter consists of integrated buck and boost
converters, both controlled simultaneously by a digital
controller. It automatically changes operating mode (buck
mode or boost) when the line voltage or output set point
changes. Very high efficiency is maintained over wide input
and output ranges by shifting operational modes and use of
synchronous rectifiers.

CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION: The module will
synchronize its switching to a clock signal at the SyncIn pin
(relative to Vsense-) of between 200 and 300KHz. For noise
immunity, the input has 0.1V hysteresis. It can be driven
by any standard logic gate. The input has an internal 5KΩ
pull-up to 3.3V; if unused, leave this input floating or tie it
directly to Vsense-.

PROTECTION FEATURES
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”. The
lockout circuitry is a comparator with DC hysteresis. When
the input voltage is rising, it must exceed the typical TurnOn 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.

voltage source: Undriven, this pin floats at 2.5V which sets Output Current Shutdown: To provide protection in an

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 must be placed
adjacent to the input pins of the module to minimize input
ripple voltage and ensure stability. See SynQor's application
note titled Input System Stability for guidance on selecting
appropriate input filter elements.
