Technical Specification NQ40x40QGx30 9-40V 0-40V 30A Non- Quarter-brick Continuous Input Outputs Current Isolated DC-DC Converter The NiQor Quarter-brick dc-dc converter is a non‑isolated buck-boost regulator, which employs synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. Non-Isolated The High Input Voltage NiQor Brick family of converters can be used in traditional DPA (distributed power architecture) systems or provide a regulated output voltage from a G NS- A 30N 0 QGC T @ 3 0 4 U V 0 O 0W N Q 4 0 V IN 0 - 4 9-4 battery source or other variable voltage source. The NiQor Quarter-brick family can be configured to Buck the input voltage down to a lower voltage or Boost the input voltage up to a higher voltage using a single external resistor.

K 02/11/14 Page 8 Input: Outputs: Current: Package Application Section 9-40V 0-40V 30A Quarter-brick BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES PROTECTION FEATURES These converters use a digital controller for the buck stage and the boost stage. It automatically changes operating mode (buck or boost) when the line voltage or output set point changes. Both stages are accomplished with synchronous rectifiers. Very high efficiency is maintained over wide input and output voltage ranges by the change in operational mode and the use of synchronous rectifiers. Input Under-Voltage Lockout: The converter is designed to turn off when the input voltage is too low, which helps to 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. The converter runs at a fixed frequency with a predictable EMI performance. Note: Since this converter supports a wide range of input and output voltage, the current rating and current limit function affect both input and output current, whichever is higher at the time. When in buck mode, the output current is higher. In boost mode the input current is higher. CONTROL FEATURES REMOTE ON/OFF: The On/Off input permits the user to control when the converter is on or off. Only Negative ON/ OFF logic is available in this power module series. The negative logic ON/OFF signal turns the module OFF when it is high (leave the pin floating or set its voltage between 1.8~3.3 V) and turns the module ON when it is low (below 0.8V with respect to Vin-). OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: The output voltage can be programmed to any voltage between 0Vdc and Vrated by connecting one resistor between the Pin 6 (TRIM) pin and Pin 5 [Sense(-)](S-version) or Pin 4 [Vout(-)](C-version). For a desired output voltage, the value of the resistor is: RVtrim(Vout) = [( ) ] ( ) 11900 x Vrated Vtrim + 0.0543 x Vrated _ 10912 (Ω) Output Current Shutdown: To provide protection in an output short condition, the unit is equipped with internal short circuit protection. When the short circuit protection is triggered, the unit first shuts down. After an approximately 16 ms inhibit time, the unit turns on again. If the short circuit condition remains, the current limit circuit will control the output current. The unit will operate normally once the fault condition is removed. Internal Over-Voltage Protection (OVP): To protect the load against an excessive output voltage, an output over-voltage shutdown feature is included. This OVP is fixed and independent of the output voltage set point. Over-Temperature Shutdown: A temperature sensor on the converter senses the average temperature of the module. The over temperature 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. Alternatively, the TRIM pin can be driven from an external voltage source: Vpin6 = 2.366 – 2.284 Vtrim Vrated Where, for both approaches: Vtrim = desired output voltage setpoint Vrated = rated output voltage Vpin6 = trim pin voltage (when driven externally) RVtrim = resistor value to set Vout Note: To maintain the accuracy of the output voltage over load current, it is vital that any trim resistor be connected to the converter’s Sense(-) pin (for the S-option) or Vout(-) pin (for the C-option), locally at the converter, not at a remote location nearer to the load. A separate Kelvin connection to the PCB pad for the Vout(-) is optimal for the C-option. Product # NQ40x40QGx30 Phone 1-888-567-9596 www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-NQ4040W Rev. K 02/11/14 Page 9 Input: Outputs: Current: Package Application Section 9-40V 0-40V 30A Quarter-brick APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS Limited output voltage resolution: The internal voltage control feedback loop is digital and 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. Input filtering: These modules should be connected to a low-impedance source. A highly inductive source can affect the stability of the module. An input capacitor with an ESR must be placed directly adjacent to the input pin of the module to minimize input ripple voltage and ensure module stability. Negative output: This series of converters can be connected to achieve a negative output from a positive input as shown in Fig A. Vin+ 1 Cin1 Vin-/ Vout+ Cin2 Vout+ SENSE+ 2 ENABLE TRIM DC-DC SENSE3 Vin- Converter VoutVin+ 8 7 6 5 4 Cout1 RVtrim Vout- Figure A: Negative output setup See application note: Input System Instability (http://www.synqor.com/documents/appnotes/appnt_System_Instability.pdf) Output capacitance: No extra external capacitor is required. However, to reduce the output ripple and improve dynamic response to a step load change additional capacitance at the output can be used. Low ESR polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic response of the module. The addition of external output capacitance may cause the start-up time to change. Using this negative output configuration impacts the available output voltage range and current limit. The output voltage range becomes 0 to (Vmax - Vin), and the current limit (for either the buck or boost modes) is scaled by: Irated(neg) = Vin (Vin + Vout) * Irated Remote sense (S-option only): Vout remote sensing is provided to achieve proper regulation at the load points and reduce effects of distribution losses on output line. The module can correct for a total of 10% drop in the output lines. In the event of an open remote sense line, the module will maintain regulation through an internal resistor connection. Current limit: The available power is limited by an output current limit in buck mode (when Vin>Vout) and by an input current limit in boost mode (when Vin<Vout). for Vin >Vout: Ilimit = 1.2 x Imax for Vin < Vout: Ilimit = 1.2 x Imax x ( Vout ) Vin where Imax = maximum rated output current Product # NQ40x40QGx30 Phone 1-888-567-9596 www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-NQ4040W Rev.

Output current limit: There are three levels of current that must be understood when considering the term “Output Current Limit” as listed below: IOCL = over-current limit (from datasheet Output Characteristics: Output DC Over Current Limit). This is a built in fixed value of current at which the converter will limit. where Itrim is the desired current limit setpoint Note: It is possible to choose RItrim such as that Itrim is greater than Irated, but SynQor does not recommend continuous operation above Irated. Note: When in boost-mode, the output current could still be limited by the maximum current limit, IOCL, applied to the input current. Current monitor: The Imon pin voltage tracks the output current, as shown in figure 9. Zero load current is 1.25V and maximum rated load current is 1.83V. This pin has a 49.9 Ohm output impedance. 1.25V 49.9Ω Imon Figure D: Current monitor circuit Irated = rated current of the converter (input or output) Itrim = desired output current limit Figure C shows the relationship among these three currents.
