DC-DC Converter
The BusQor® SQ60120ETA20 bus converter is a nextgeneration, 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. The SQ
BusQor series provides an isolated step down voltage
from 48V to a semi-regulated 12V intermediate bus.
BusQor converters are ideal for customers who need
multiple outputs and wish to build or buy point of load
converters to work with a 12V rail. RoHS Compliant
(see last page).

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
With voltages dropping and currents rising, the economics
of an Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) are becoming
more attractive, especially in systems requiring multiple
low voltages. IBA systems separate the role of isolation and
voltage scaling from regulation and sensing. The BusQor
series bus converter provides isolation and a coarse voltage
step down in one compact module, leaving regulation to
simpler, less expensive non-isolated converters.
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 Figure A below, the BusQor module provides the isolation
stage of the IBA system. The isolated bus then distributes
power to the non-isolated buck regulators to generate the
required voltage levels at the point of load. In this case, the
bucks are represented with SynQor’s NiQor series of nonisolated dc-dc converters. In many applications requiring
multiple low voltage outputs, significant savings can be
achieved in board space and overall system costs.
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 B is a
detailed look of the internal ON/OFF circuitry.
When designing an IBA system with bus converters, the
designer can select from a variety of bus voltages. While
there is no universally ideal bus voltage, most designs
employ one of the following: 12V, 9V, 7.5V, 5V, or 3.3V.
Higher bus voltages can lead to lower efficiency for the buck
regulators but are more efficient for the bus converter and
provide lower board level distribution current. Lower bus
voltages offer the opposite trade offs.
SynQor’s SQ BusQor modules accept the full 48/60V
telecom bus voltage and have a narrow output voltage
range compatible with many non-isolated point of load
converters. When used in IBA systems, the output variation
of the BusQor must be in accordance with the input voltage
range of the non-isolated converters being employed.

Application Section
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”
available on www.SynQor.com . 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. Also see figure E.
Output Current Limit: The output of the BusQor module
is electronically protected against output overloads. When
an overload current greater than the “DC Current-Limit
Inception” specification is drawn from the output, the
output of the BusQor will shutdown to zero volts after the
1 ms have elapsed (see Figure C). The shutdown period
lasts for a typical period of 200ms (Figure D) after which the
BusQor tries to power up again. If the overload persists, the
output voltage will go through repeated cycles of shutdown
and restart with a duty cycle of 20ms (On) and 200 ms (Off)
respectively. The BusQor module returns (auto resetting)
to normal operation once the overload is removed. The
BusQor is designed to survive in this mode indefinitely
without damage and without human intervention.
Output Short Circuit Protection: When the output of
the BusQor module is shorted, a peak current of typically 65A
will flow into the short circuit for a time of about 20ms. The
output of the BusQor will shutdown to zero volts after the
20ms have elapsed (Figure D). The shutdown period lasts
for a time of 200ms, at the end of which the BusQor module
tries to power up again. If the short circuit persists, the
output voltage will go through repeated cycles of shutdown
and restart with a duty cycle of 20ms (On) and 200ms (Off)
respectively. The BusQor module returns (auto resetting)
to normal operation once the short circuit is removed. The
BusQor is designed to survive in this mode indefinitely
without damage and without human intervention.
In the Auto resetting mode, also referred to as “Hiccup”
mode, the power drawn from the 48 V input is about 5
Watts, most of which is dissipated into the external fault.
It is important that copper traces and pads from the output
circuit be designed to withstand the short term peaks,
although the average current into the fault may be as low
as 50 mA typical. See Figure 17 for appropriate waveform.
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 Over-Temperature 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 CONSIDERATIONS
Startup Inhibit Period: Figure E details the Start-Up
Inhibit Period for the BusQor module when Vin is applied
with the On/Off pin asserted (enabled). Before time t1,
when the input voltage Off pin asserted (enabled). Before
time t1, 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 typical Startup Inhibit Period of 8ms from a Vin start-up.
Once the module recognizes it should be on it waits an
additional 4ms before it starts. When starting from an on/
off event the module has an inhibit time of 200ms like our
standard products. The output builds up to 90% or higher
of the nominal voltage and stabilizes to its nominal output
voltage in a total time of 15ms typical.
At time t2, when the On/Off pin is de-asserted (disabled),
the BusQor module stops switching immediately. Fall time
from 12V to 0V is dependent on output capacitance load
current, and any parasitic trace inductance in the output
load circuit.
At time t3, when the On/Off pin is re-asserted (enabled),
the BusQor module output begins to build up after the
inhibit period of 200ms typical.

Application Section
Droop Current Sharing:
This product has primary side regulation only. Primary side
regulation results in a voltage droop as the load current
increase (droop characteristic). The inherent impedance
of the power stage due to its droop characteristic can be
used to balance the load current between multiple modules
that are placed in parallel. The graphs in this section show
two units by way of example, but there is no fundamental
limit to the number of units that can be placed in parallel.
When multiple units having droop characteristics are placed
in parallel, the current sharing accuracy is determined by the
output voltage set point accuracy relative to the total output
voltage droop for a given load current range. A difference
in voltage between two units will cause a differential current
to flow out of one unit and into the other. Figure F shows an
example with two units with an output voltage mismatched by
0.5 %. In this example, when Unit A is at 100 % of its full rated
load current, Unit B is only at 90%, effectively reducing the
total available current by 5%. SynQor uses factory calibration
of each unit to ensure that output voltage is well matched.
Temperature Mismatch Self Balancing: the slope of
the output voltage droop characteristic of semi regulated
module increases with increased temperature. Therefore,
if a paralleled unit were hotter than its neighbor because it
is supplying more load current, then its output voltage will
droop further forcing the cooler module(s) to increase its
load current. The increase in effective output resistance
due to an increase in temperature acts as a self correcting
mechanism (Figure G) when two or more modules are
connected in a parallel configuration.
