G 01/14/15 Page 9 Input: 35-75V Output: 12V Current: 25A Package: Quarter-brick Applications Section BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES CONTROL FEATURES This converter series 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 stepdown 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(-). 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 converter to achieve high efficiency. Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not require a heatsink for operation in many applications; however, adding a heatsink provides improved thermal derating performance in extreme situations. To further withstand harsh environments and thermally demanding applications, certain models are available baseplated or totally encased. See Ordering Information page for available thermal design options. SynQor quarter-brick converters use the industry standard footprint and pin-out. ON/OFF Vin(_) Vin(_) Remote Enable Circuit ON/OFF ON/OFF Negative Logic (Permanently Enabled) 5V ON/OFF TTL/ CMOS Vin(_) Open Collector Enable Circuit REMOTE SENSE Pins 7(+) and 5(-): The SENSE(+) and SENSE(-) inputs correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the converter’s output pins to the load. Pin 7 should connect to Vout(+) and Pin 5 should connect 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 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. 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: Positive Logic (Permanently Enabled) Rtrim-down = where ON/OFF Vin(_) Vin(_) In negative logic versions, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning that a low voltage turns the converter on). In positive logic versions, the ON/OFF input is active high (meaning that a high voltage turns the converter on). Fig A details possible circuits for driving the ON/ OFF pin. See Ordering Information page for available enable logics. Direct Logic Drive ( 511% – 10.22 Δ% ) kΩ Vnominal – Vdesired × 100% Vnominal To increase the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor between Pin 6 (TRIM) and Pin 7 (SENSE(+) input). For a desired increase of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be: Δ% = Rtrim-up = 5.11 Figure A: Various Circuits for Driving the ON/OFF Pin. [ | ( | Vnominal 1.225 –2 ) × Vdesired + Vnominal Vdesired – Vnominal ] kΩ The Trim Graph in Figure B shows the relationship between the trim resistor value and Rtrim-up and Rtrim-down, showing the total range the output voltage can be trimmed up or down. 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.

PROTECTION FEATURES Input Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): 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. When the input is rising, it must exceed the typical “Turn-On Voltage Threshold”* before the converter will turn on. Once the converter is on, the input must fall below the typical "Turn-Off Voltage Threshold"* before the converter will turn off. Output Current Limit (OCP): If the output current exceeds the “Output DC Current Limit Inception” value*, 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 50 ms, then the unit will enter into hiccup mode, with a 500 ms 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. Output Over-Voltage Limit (OVP): 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 500 ms the converter will automatically restart for all but the S Feature Set option, which is latching and will not restart until input power is cycled or the ON/OFF input is toggled. During an output over-voltage condition, the converter's LED will illuminate. For units with latching OVP (S Feature Set), once the over-voltage condition has been removed the LED will flash steadily until the input power or the ON/OFF input is toggled. Over-Temperature Shutdown (OTP): A thermister 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”*. Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures that the converter will remain off for approximately 500 ms when it is shut down due to a fault. This generates a 2 Hz “hiccup mode,” preventing the converter from overheating. There are multiple ways the converter can be shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period: • • • • Output Over-Voltage Protection Current Limit Short Circuit Protection Disabling via ON/OFF input (excluding PQ60120QE & PQ60120QZ) * See Electrical Characteristics section.

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: A typical circuit diagram, Figure C below details the input filtering and voltage trimming. Input Filtering and External Input Capacitance: Figure D 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 of the Electrical Specifications. More detailed information is available in the application note titled “EMI Characteristics” on the SynQor website. Output Filtering and External Output Capacitance: The internal output filter components are shown in Figure D below. This filter dramatically reduces output voltage ripple. Some minimum external output capacitance is required, as specified in the Output Characteristics area of the Electrical Characteristics section. No damage will occur without this capacitor connected, but peak output voltage ripple will be much higher. Thermal Considerations: For baseplated and encased versions, the max operating baseplate temperature, TB, is 100 ºC. Refer to the Thermal Derating Curves in the Technical Figures section to see the available output current at baseplate temperatures below 100 ºC. 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 baseplate 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. Pdiss max Vin 100 ºC - TA RTHBA This value of maximum power dissipation can then be used in conjunction with the data shown in the Power Dissipation Curves in the Technical Figures section to determine the maximum load current (and power) that the converter can deliver in the given thermal condition. For convenience, Thermal Derating Curves are provided in the Technical Figures section.

Figure F: Smallest Possible Vout Step example for 12Vout unit at 48Vin.. 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 E. A close-up picture of a single step is shown in Figure F. Stepping will not occur under steady state conditions. 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 volt-age, it will cause a limit cycle oscillation. For this reason, external feedback using the sense and trim pins is not recommended.
