DC/DC Conver ter
The PQ60015QTA40 PowerQor Tera quarter-brick
converter is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated,
fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses
synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high
conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the
converter is so low that a heatsink is not required, which
saves cost, weight, height, and application effort. All of
the power and control components are mounted to the
multi-layer PCB substrate with high-yield surface mount
technology. Since the PowerQor converter has no explicit
thermal interfaces, it is extremely reliable. The Tera series
offers the maximum useable output current for any
standard “quarter-brick” module.

2) Pins 4 and 8 are 0.062” (1.57 mm) diameter with
0.100” (2.54 mm) diameter standoff shoulders.
3) Other pin extension lengths available. Recommended pin
length is 0.03” (0.76mm) greater than the PCB thickness.
4) All Pins: Material - Copper Alloy
Finish - Matte Tin over Nickel plate
5) Undimensioned components are shown for visual
reference only.
6) All dimensions in inches (mm)
Tolerances: x.xx +/-0.02 in. (x.x +/-0.5mm)
x.xxx +/-0.010 in. (x.xx +/-0.25mm)
7) Weight: 1.5 oz. (42 g) typical
8) Workmanship: Meets or exceeds IPC-A-610C Class II
9) UL/TUV standards require a clearance greater than 0.04”
(1.02mm) between input and output for Basic insulation. This
issue should be considered if any copper traces are on the
top side of the user’s board. Note that the ferrite cores are
considered part of the input/primary circuit.
10)The flanged pins are designed to permit surface mount
soldeing (avoiding the wave soldering process) through
the use of the flanged pin-in-paste technique.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
The PowerQor series converter uses a two-stage power
conversion topology. The first stage is a buck-converter that keeps
the output voltage constant over variations in line, load, and
temperature. The second stage uses a transformer to provide the
functions of input/output isolation and voltage step-down to
achieve the low output voltage required.
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 A details five possible circuits for driving
the ON/OFF pin. Figure B is a detailed look of the internal
ON/OFF circuitry.
Both the first stage and the second stage switch at a fixed
frequency for predictable EMI performance. Rectification
of the transformer’s output is accomplished with
synchronous rectifiers. These devices, which are MOSFETs
with a very low on-state resistance, dissipate far less
energy than Schottky diodes. This is the primary reason
that the PowerQor converter has such high efficiency, even
at very low output voltages and very high output currents.
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 7 and 5): The SENSE(+) inputs
correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the
converter’s output pins to the load.
Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not
require a heatsink for operation. Since a heatsink is not required,
the PowerQor converter does not need a metal baseplate or
potting material to help conduct the dissipated energy to the
heatsink. The PowerQor converter can thus be built more simply
and reliably using high yield surface mount techniques on a PCB
substrate.
Pin 7 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 5 should be
connected to Vout(-) at the point on the board where regulation is
desired. A remote connection at the load can adjust for a voltage
drop only as large as that specified in this datasheet, that is
[Vout(+) - Vout(-)] – [Vsense(+) - Vsense(-)] <
Sense Range % x Vout
The PowerQor series of half-brick and quarter-brick converters
uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out configuration.
Pins 7 and 5 must be connected for proper regulation of the
output voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter
will deliver an output voltage that is slightly lower than its
specified value.

Technical Specification
Note: the output over-voltage protection circuit senses the voltage
across the output (pins 8 and 4) to determine when it should trigger,
not the voltage across the converter’s sense leads (pins 7 and 5).
Therefore, the resistive drop on the board should be small enough
so that output OVP does not trigger, even during load transients.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM (Pin 6): The TRIM input permits the
user to adjust the output voltage across the sense leads up or down
according to the trim range specifications.
To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor
between Pin 6 and Pin 5 (SENSE(-) input). For a desired decrease
of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be

To increase the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor

Note: the TRIM feature does not affect the voltage at which the
output over-voltage protection circuit is triggered. Trimming the
output voltage too high may cause the over-voltage protection
circuit to engage, particularly during transients.
It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the Trim pin.
The node is internally bypassed to eliminate noise.
Total DC Variation of Vout: For the converter to meet its full
specifications, the maximum variation of the DC value of Vout, due
to both trimming and remote load voltage drops, should not be
greater than that specified for the output voltage trim range.
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 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.
Output Current Limit: The maximum current limit remains
constant as the output voltage drops. However, once the
impedance of the short across the output is small enough to make
the output voltage drop below the specified Output DC Current-Limit
Shutdown Voltage, the converter turns off.
The converter then enters a “hiccup mode” where it repeatedly
turns on and off at a 5 Hz (nominal) frequency with a 5% duty cycle
until the short circuit condition is removed. This prevents excessive
heating of the converter or the load board.
Output Over-Voltage Limit: If the voltage across the output
pins exceeds the Output Over-Voltage Protection threshold, the
converter will immediately stop switching. This prevents damage to
the load circuit due to 1) excessive series resistance in output
current path from converter output pins to sense point, 2) a release
of a short-circuit condition, or 3) a release of a current limit
condition. Load capacitance determines exactly how high the
output voltage will rise in response to these conditions. After 200
ms the converter will automatically restart.

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 Circuits: Figure D below provides a typical circuit

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
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 web site
(www.synqor.com) which provides an understanding of why
this instability arises, and shows the preferred solution for
correcting it.
Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure E below
provides a diagram showing the internal input filter components.
This filter dramatically reduces input terminal ripple current, which
otherwise could exceed the rating of an external electrolytic input
capacitor. The recommended external input capacitance is
specified in the “Input Characterisitcs” section. More detailed
information is available in the application note titled “EMI
Characteristics” on the SynQor website.

Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures that
the converter will remain off for approximately 200ms when it is
shut down for any reason. When an output short is present, this
generates a 5Hz "hiccup mode," which prevents the converter from
overheating. In all, there are seven ways that the converter can be
shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period:
Before time t0, 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 Startup Inhibit Period is
initiated. At the end of this delay, the ON/OFF pin is evaluated,
and since it is active, the unit turns on.
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
At time t1, the unit is disabled by the ON/OFF pin, and it cannot
be enabled again until the Startup Inhibit Period has elapsed.
• Input Over-Voltage Shutdown (not present in Quarter-brick)
• Output Over-Voltage Protection
When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t2, the Startup Inhibit
Period has elapsed, and the output turns on within the typical TurnOn Time.
• Over Temperature Shutdown
• Current Limit
• Short Circuit Protection
• Turned off by the ON/OFF input
