BASIC OPERATION AND 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.
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.
The PowerQor series of half-brick and quarter-brick converters
uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out configuration.
CONTROL FEATURES
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.

(Permanently Enabled)
ON/OFF
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.
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 8 and 6): The SENSE(+) inputs correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 8 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 6 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
Pins 8 and 6 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 higher than its specified
value.
Note: the output over-voltage protection circuit senses the voltage
across the output (pins 9 and 5) to determine when it should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense leads (pins 8
and 6). 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 7): 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 7 and Pin 6 (SENSE(-) input). For a desired decrease
of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be
Rtrim-down =
-2
(100%
D )
(kW)
where
D% =
Vnominal – Vdesired
Vnominal
x 100%
To increase the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor
between Pin 7 and Pin 8 (SENSE(+) input). For a desired increase
of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be
Rtrim-up =
nominal – 2

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: If the load current is increased to the
current limit threshold, the current will be limited at that value,
and the output voltage will decrease as the load resistance is lowered. When the load current is decreased below the current limit
point, the voltage will recover to the normal, regulated level.
Note: If the unit is held in overcurrent and the load is suddenly
reduced to zero, an output voltage overshoot can occur and possibly trip the overvoltage protection.
Output Over-Voltage Protection: If the voltage across the
output pins exceeds the Output Over-Voltage Protection threshold,
the converter will immediately shut down and latch off. To reset
this latched fault condition, either the ON/OFF pin must be toggled from on to off and back on again or the input power must
be removed and re-applied.

Figure B: Trim Graph for 53Vout 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.
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.
It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the Trim pin.
The node is internally bypassed to eliminate noise.

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 website which
provides an understanding of why this instability arises, and
shows the preferred solution for correcting it.

Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures that
the converter will remain off for approximately 6ms when it is
shut down for any reason. In all, there are three ways that the
converter can be shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period:
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
• Over Temperature Shutdown
• Turned off by the ON/OFF input
Application Circuits: Figure C provides a typical circuit diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
Figure E shows three turn-on scenarios, where a Startup Inhibit
Period is initiated at t0, t1, and t2:
Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure D 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 Characteristics” section. More
detailed information is available in the application note titled
“EMI Characteristics” on the SynQor website.
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.
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.
If the input voltage quickly rises over UVLO at t3, the output startup time is 12ms.
