BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
The PowerQor Zeta series converter uses a two-stage power
conversion topology. The first stage 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(-). The
converter is available with either positive or negative logic used
for the ON/OFF input.
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 significantly less energy than
Schottky diodes, enabling the PowerQor converter to achieve
high efficiency.
The PowerQor series of half-brick, quarter-brick and eighth-brick
converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out
configuration.
In the positive logic version, the ON/OFF input is active high
(meaning that a high voltage turns the converter on). In the
negative logic version, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning
that a low voltage turns the converter on). Figure A details five
possible circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin.
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.
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. If these connections are not made, the converter will
deliver an output voltage that is slightly higher than its specified
value.
Note: The output over-voltage protection circuit senses the
voltage across the sense leads (pins 7 and 5) to determine when
it should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s output
pins (pins 8 and 4).

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. SynQor uses
industry standard trim equations.
To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a
resistor between Pin 6 (TRIM) and Pin 5 (SENSE(–) input). For
a desired decrease of the nominal output voltage, the value of
the resistor should be:

PROTECTION FEATURES
Input Under-Voltage Lockout: The converter is designed
to turn off when the input voltage is too low, helping to avoid
an input system instability problem, which is described in more
detail in the application note titled “Input System Instability”
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* 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: If the output current exceeds the “Output
DC Current Limit Inception” point*, then a fast linear current limit
controller will reduce the output voltage to maintain a constant
output current. If as a result, the output voltage falls below the
“Output DC Current Limit Shutdown Voltage”* for more than
50ms, then the unit will enter into hiccup mode, with a 500ms
off-time. The unit will then automatically attempt to restart.
Back-Drive Current Limit: If there is negative output current
of a magnitude larger than the “Back-Drive Current Limit while
Enabled” specification*, then a fast back-drive limit controller will
increase the output voltage to maintain a constant output current.
If this results in the output voltage exceeding the “Output OverVoltage Protection” threshold*, then the unit will shut down. The
full I-V output characteristics can be seen in the figures.

Figure B: Trim Graph for 12Vout module
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 filtered to eliminate noise.
Output Over-Voltage Limit: If the voltage directly across
the output pins exceeds the “Output Over-Voltage Protection”
threshold*, the converter will immediately stop switching. This
shutdown is latching; unlike other shutdown types, the converter
will not restart unless the input power is cycled or the ON/OFF
input is toggled.
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*.
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.

Technical Specification
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Limited Output Voltage Resolution: The internal voltage
control feedback loop has limited resolution. Therefore, the output
voltage will exhibit discrete steps as the loop responds to changes
in line, load, trim, or remote sense. For instance, on close
examination, the startup ramp has a “stair-step” shape. Likewise,
a load transient response will be composed of multiple discrete
steps. The size of each step is well determined, and is shown in
Figure C. A close-up picture of a single step is shown in Figure D.
Stepping will not occur under steady state conditions.
Current share and active trim not recommended: It is
important to note that external feedback control using the sense
or trim pins will cause sustained stepping. External current
share or active trim circuits contain a separate reference voltage.
After this external feedback has taken control, the actual output
voltage can still differ from the external reference voltage by as
much as the step size. If the external feedback loop integrates
this error voltage, it will cause a limit cycle oscillation. For this
reason, external feedback using the sense and trim pins is not
recommended.
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.

Application Circuits: Figure E below provides a typical circuit
diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
Input Filtering and External Input Capacitance: Figure
F below shows 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 Characteristics section on the Electrical Specifications page.
More detailed information is available in the application note titled
“EMI Characteristics” on the SynQor website.
Output Filtering and External Output Capacitance: Figure
F below shows the internal output filter components. This filter
dramatically reduces output voltage ripple. However, some
minimum external output capacitance is required, as specified in
the Output Characteristics section on the Electrical Specifications
page. No damage will occur without this capacitor connected,
but peak output voltage ripple will be much higher.

Technical Specification
Thermal Considerations: The maximum operating base-plate
temperature, TB, is 100 ºC. As long as the user’s thermal system
keeps TB < 100 ºC, the converter can deliver its full rated power.
A power derating curve can be calculated for any heatsink that is
attached to the base-plate of the converter. It is only necessary
to determine the thermal resistance, RTHBA, of the chosen heatsink
between the base-plate and the ambient air for a given airflow
rate. This information is usually available from the heatsink
vendor. The following formula can the be used to determine the
maximum power the converter can dissipate for a given thermal
condition if its base-plate is to be no higher than 100 ºC.
max
Pdiss =
100 ºC - TA
RTHBA
This value of power dissipation can then be used in conjunction
with the data shown in Figure 2 to determine the maximum load
current (and power) that the converter can deliver in the given
thermal condition.
