Electrical Characteristics Notes
1. Converter will undergo input over-voltage shutdown.
2. Derate output power to 50% of rated power at Tcase = 135º C.
3. High or low state of input voltage must persist for about 200µs to be acted on by the lockout or shutdown circuitry.
4. Current limit inception is defined as the point where the output voltage has dropped to 90% of its nominal value.
5. Parameter not tested but guaranteed to the limit specified.
6. Load current transition time ≥ 10 µs.
7. Settling time measured from start of transient to the point where the output voltage has returned to ±1% of its final value.
8. Line voltage transition time ≥ 250 µs.
9. Input voltage rise time ≥ 250 µs.
10. Operating the converter at a synchronization frequency above the free running frequency will slightly reduce the converter’s efficiency and may also
cause a slight reduction in the maximum output current/power available. For more information consult the factory.
11. After a disable or fault event, module is inhibited from restarting for 300 ms. See Shut Down section.
12. SHARE pin outputs a power failure warning pulse during a fault condition. See Current Share section.
13. Only the ES and HB grade products are tested at three temperatures. The C grade products are tested at one temperature. Please refer to the ESS
table for details.
14. These derating curves apply for the ES- and HB- grade products. The C- grade product has a maximum case temperature of 100º C and a maximum
junction temperature rise of 20º C above TCASE.
15. Converter delivers current into a persisting short circuit for up to 1 second. See Current Limit in the Application Notes section.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
The MQFL DC-DC converter uses a two-stage power conversion
topology. The first, or regulation, stage is a buck-converter that
keeps the output voltage constant over variations in line, load,
and temperature. The second, or isolation, stage uses transformers to provide the functions of input/output isolation and voltage
transformation to achieve the output voltage required.
Both the regulation and the isolation stages switch at a fixed
frequency for predictable EMI performance. The isolation stage
switches at one half the frequency of the regulation stage, but due
to the push-pull nature of this stage it creates a ripple at double its
switching frequency. As a result, both the input and the output of
the converter have a fundamental ripple frequency of about 550
kHz in the free-running mode.
Rectification of the isolation stage’s output is accomplished with
synchronous rectifiers. These devices, which are MOSFETs with a
very low resistance, dissipate far less energy than would Schottky
diodes. This is the primary reason why the MQFL converters have
such high efficiency, particularly at low output voltages.
Besides improving efficiency, the synchronous rectifiers permit
operation down to zero load current. There is no longer a need
for a minimum load, as is typical for converters that use diodes for
rectification. The synchronous rectifiers actually permit a negative load current to flow back into the converter’s output terminals
if the load is a source of short or long term energy. The MQFL
converters employ a “back-drive current limit” to keep this negative output terminal current small.
There is a control circuit on both the input and output sides of the
MQFL converter that determines the conduction state of the power
switches. These circuits communicate with each other across the
isolation barrier through a magnetically coupled device. No
opto-isolators are used. A separate bias supply provides power
to both the input and output control circuits.
An input under-voltage lockout feature with hysteresis is provided,
as well as an input over-voltage shutdown. There is also an
output current limit that is nearly constant as the load impedance
decreases to a short circuit (i.e., there is no fold-back or foldforward characteristic to the output current under this condition).
When a load fault is removed, the output voltage rises exponentially to its nominal value without an overshoot.
The MQFL converter’s control circuit does not implement an output
over-voltage limit or an over-temperature shutdown.
The following sections describe the use and operation of additional control features provided by the MQFL converter.

CONTROL FEATURES
ENABLE: The MQFL converter has two enable pins. Both must
have a logic high level for the converter to be enabled. A logic
low on either pin will inhibit the converter.
The ENA1 pin (pin 4) is referenced with respect to the converter’s
input return (pin 2). The ENA2 pin (pin 12) is referenced with
respect to the converter’s output return (pin 8). This permits the
converter to be inhibited from either the input or the output side.
Regardless of which pin is used to inhibit the converter, the regulation and the isolation stages are turned off. However, when
the converter is inhibited through the ENA1 pin, the bias supply
is also turned off, whereas this supply remains on when the converter is inhibited through the ENA2 pin. A higher input standby
current therefore results in the latter case.
Both enable pins are internally pulled high so that an open connection on both pins will enable the converter. Figure A shows the equivalent circuit looking into either enable pins. It is TTL compatible.

SHUT DOWN: The MQFL converter will shut down in response
to following conditions:
- ENA1 input low
- ENA2 input low
- VIN input below under-voltage lockout threshold
- VIN input above over-voltage shutdown threshold
- Persistent current limit event lasting more than 1 second
Following a shutdown from a disable event or an input voltage
fault, there is a startup inhibit delay which will prevent the converter
from restarting for approximately 300ms. After the 300ms delay
elapses, if the enable inputs are high and the input voltage is within
the operating range, the converter will restart. If the VIN input is
brought down to nearly 0V and back into the operating range,
there is no startup inhibit, and the output voltage will rise according
to the “Turn-On Delay, Rising Vin” specification.

Technical Specification
Refer to the following Current Limit section for details regarding
persistent current limit behavior.
REMOTE SENSE: The purpose of the remote sense pins is to
correct for the voltage drop along the conductors that connect the
converter’s output to the load. To achieve this goal, a separate
conductor should be used to connect the +SENSE pin (pin 10)
directly to the positive terminal of the load, as shown in the connection diagram. Similarly, the –SENSE pin (pin 9) should be
connected through a separate conductor to the return terminal of
the load.
NOTE: Even if remote sensing of the load voltage is not desired,
the +SENSE and the -SENSE pins must be connected to +Vout (pin
7) and OUTPUT RETURN (pin 8), respectively, to get proper regulation of the converter’s output. If they are left open, the converter
will have an output voltage that is approximately 200mV higher
than its specified value. If only the +SENSE pin is left open, the
output voltage will be approximately 25mV too high.
OUT has a duty cycle of 50% and a frequency that matches the
switching frequency of the converter with which it is associated.
This frequency is either the free-running frequency if there is no
synchronization signal at the SYNC IN pin, or the synchronization
frequency if there is.
The SYNC OUT signal is available only when the DC input voltage is above approximately 125V and when the converter is not
inhibited through the ENA1 pin. An inhibit through the ENA2 pin
will not turn the SYNC OUT signal off.
NOTE: An MQFL converter that has its SYNC IN pin driven by
the SYNC OUT pin of a second MQFL converter will have its start
of its switching cycle delayed approximately 180 degrees relative
to that of the second converter.
Figure B shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC IN pin.
Figure C shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC OUT pin.
5V
Inside the converter, +SENSE is connected to +Vout with a 100W
resistor and –SENSE is connected to OUTPUT RETURN with a
10W resistor.
It is also important to note that when remote sense is used, the
voltage across the converter’s output terminals (pins 7 and 8)
will be higher than the converter’s nominal output voltage due to
resistive drops along the connecting wires. This higher voltage at
the terminals produces a greater voltage stress on the converter’s
internal components and may cause the converter to fail to deliver
the desired output voltage at the low end of the input voltage
range at the higher end of the load current and temperature
range. Please consult the factory for details.

SYNCHRONIZATION: The MQFL converter’s switching frequency can be synchronized to an external frequency source
that is in the 500 kHz to 700 kHz range. A pulse train at the
desired frequency should be applied to the SYNC IN pin (pin 6)
with respect to the INPUT RETURN (pin 2). This pulse train should
have a duty cycle in the 20% to 80% range. Its low value should
be below 0.8V to be guaranteed to be interpreted as a logic low,
and its high value should be above 2.0V to be guaranteed to be
interpreted as a logic high. The transition time between the two
states should be less than 300ns.
FROM SYNC
CIRCUITRY
If the MQFL converter is not to be synchronized, the SYNC IN pin
should be left open circuit. The converter will then operate in its
free-running mode at a frequency of approximately 550 kHz.
Figure C: Equivalent circuit looking into SYNC OUT pin with
respect to the IN RTN (input return) pin.
If, due to a fault, the SYNC IN pin is held in either a logic low or
logic high state continuously, the MQFL converter will revert to its
free-running frequency.
The MQFL converter also has a SYNC OUT pin (pin 5). This
output can be used to drive the SYNC IN pins of as many as ten
(10) other MQFL converters. The pulse train coming out of SYNC

CURRENT SHARE: When several MQFL converters are placed
in parallel to achieve either a higher total load power or N+1
redundancy, their SHARE pins (pin 11) should be connected
together. The voltage on this common SHARE node represents
the average current delivered by all of the paralleled converters.
Each converter monitors this average value and adjusts itself so
that its output current closely matches that of the average.

Output: 3.3 V
Current: 30 A
Technical Specification
Whether or not converters are paralleled, the voltage at the
SHARE pin could be used to monitor the approximate average
current delivered by the converter(s). A nominal voltage of 1.0V
represents zero current and a nominal voltage of 2.2V represents
the maximum rated total current, with a linear relationship in
between. The internal source resistance of a converter’s SHARE
pin signal is 2.5 kW.
During an input voltage fault or primary disable event, the SHARE
pin outputs a power failure warning pulse. The SHARE pin will
go to 3V for approximately 14ms as the output voltage falls.
During a current limit auto-restart event, the SHARE pin outputs a
startup synchronization pulse. The SHARE pin will go to 5V for
approximately 2ms before the converter restarts.
NOTE: Converters operating from separate input filters with
reverse polarity protection (such as the MQME-270-R filter) with
their outputs connected in parallel may exhibit auto-restart operation at light loads. Consult factory for details.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: If desired, it is possible to increase
the MQFL converter’s output voltage above its nominal value. To
do this, use the +SENSE pin (pin 10) for this trim function instead
of for its normal remote sense function, as shown in Figure D.
In this case, a resistor connects the +SENSE pin to the –SENSE
pin (which should still be connected to the output return, either
remotely or locally). The value of the trim resistor should be chosen according to the following equation or from Figure E:
Rtrim = 100 x

trim Resistance (ohms)
Since the SHARE pin is monitored with respect to the OUTPUT
RETURN (pin 8) by each converter, it is important to connect all of
the converters’ OUTPUT RETURN pins together through a low DC
and AC impedance. When this is done correctly, the converters
will deliver their appropriate fraction of the total load current to
within +/- 10% at full rated load.

where:

Vout = the desired output voltage (greater than Vnom), and

As the output voltage is trimmed up, it produces a greater voltage
stress on the converter’s internal components and may cause the
converter to fail to deliver the desired output voltage at the low
end of the input voltage range at the higher end of the load current and temperature range. Please consult the factory for details.
Factory trimmed converters are available by request.
INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT: The MQFL converter
has an under-voltage lockout feature that ensures the converter
will be off if the input voltage is too low. The threshold of input
voltage at which the converter will turn on is higher that the threshold at which it will turn off. In addition, the MQFL converter will
not respond to a state of the input voltage unless it has remained
in that state for more than about 200µs. This hysteresis and the
delay ensure proper operation when the source impedance is
high or in a noisy environment.

INPUT OVER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MQFL converter
also has an over-voltage feature that ensures the converter will
be off if the input voltage is too high. It also has a hysteresis and
time delay to ensure proper operation.
CURRENT LIMIT: The converter will reduce its output voltage in
response to an overload condition. If the output voltage drops to
below approximately 50% of the nominal setpoint for longer than
1 second, the auto-restart feature will engage. The auto-restart
feature will stop the converter from delivering load current, in
order to protect the converter and the load from thermal damage.
After four seconds have elapsed, the converter will automatically
restart.
In a system with multiple converters configured for load sharing
using the SHARE pin, if the auto-restart feature engages,
the converters will synchronize their restart using signals
communicated on the SHARE pin.
BACK-DRIVE CURRENT LIMIT: Converters that use MOSFETs as
synchronous rectifiers are capable of drawing a negative current
from the load if the load is a source of short- or long-term energy.
This negative current is referred to as a “back-drive current”.
Conditions where back-drive current might occur include paralleled
converters that do not employ current sharing, or where the current
share feature does not adequately ensure sharing during the
startup or shutdown transitions. It can also occur when converters
having different output voltages are connected together through
either explicit or parasitic diodes that, while normally off, become
conductive during startup or shutdown. Finally, some loads, such
as motors, can return energy to their power rail. Even a load
capacitor is a source of back-drive energy for some period of
time during a shutdown transient.
To avoid any problems that might arise due to back-drive current,
the MQFL converters limit the negative current that the converter
can draw from its output terminals. The threshold for this backdrive current limit is placed sufficiently below zero so that the
converter may operate properly down to zero load, but its
absolute value (see the Electrical Characteristics page) is small
compared to the converter’s rated output current.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS: The suggested Power Derating
Curves for this converter as a function of the case temperature and
the maximum desired power MOSFET junction temperature on the
figures page. All other components within the converter are cooler
than its hottest MOSFET, which at full power is no more than 20ºC
higher than the case temperature directly below this MOSFET.
The Mil-HDBK-1547A component derating guideline calls for a
maximum component temperature of 105ºC. The power derating
figure; therefore has one power derating curve that ensures this
limit is maintained. It has been SynQor’s extensive experience
that reliable long-term converter operation can be achieved
with a maximum component temperature of 125ºC. In extreme
cases, a maximum temperature of 145ºC is permissible, but not
recommended for long-term operation where high reliability is
required. Derating curves for these higher temperature limits are
also included in Figure 5. The maximum case temperature at
which the converter should be operated is 135ºC.
When the converter is mounted on a metal plate, the plate will
help to make the converter’s case bottom a uniform temperature.
How well it does so depends on the thickness of the plate and
on the thermal conductance of the interface layer (e.g. thermal
grease, thermal pad, etc.) between the case and the plate. Unless
this is done very well, it is important not to mistake the plate’s
temperature for the maximum case temperature. It is easy for
them to be as much as 5-10ºC different at full power and at high
temperatures. It is suggested that a thermocouple be attached
directly to the converter’s case through a small hole in the plate
when investigating how hot the converter is getting. Care must
also be made to ensure that there is not a large thermal resistance
between the thermocouple and the case due to whatever adhesive might be used to hold the thermocouple in place.
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.
