Application Section
BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
This Mil-COTS converter series 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-up or step-down to achieve the 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 converter has such high efficiency, even at
very low output voltages and very high output currents.
These converters are offered totally encased to withstand
harsh environments and thermally demanding applications.
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.
This series of converters uses the industry standard footprint
and pin-out configuration.
ON/OFF
ON/OFF
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(-). The ON/OFF signal is active low
(meaning that a low turns the converter on). Figure A
details four possible circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin.
Figure B is a detailed look of the internal ON/OFF circuitry.
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 7 and 5): The SENSE(+)
inputs correct for voltage drops along the conductors
that connect the converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 7 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 5 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 7 and 5 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 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.
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

where

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:
(
Rtrim-up =
1.0VOUT x (100+Δ%)

) (kΩ)
where
Vout = Nominal Output Voltage
Trim graphs show 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 overvoltage protection circuit to engage, particularly during
transients.
It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the
Trim pin. The node is internally bypassed to eliminate noise.
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.
Trim Resistance (kΩ)
10,000
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.
Output Over-Voltage Limit: 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 400 ms the
converter will automatically restart.
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.
Output Current Limit: The maximum current limit remains
constant as the output voltage drops. However, once the
impedance of the load across the output is small enough to
make the output voltage drop below the specified Output
DC Current-Limit Shutdown Voltage, the converter turns off.
The converter then enters a “hiccup” mode where it
repeatedly turns on and off at a 2.23 Hz (nominal) frequency
with 11% duty cycle until the short circuit condition is
removed. This prevents excessive heating of the converter
or the load board.

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.
Application Circuits: Figure D provides a typical circuit diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.

Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure E provides a diagram showing the internal input filter components.
This filter dramatically reduces input terminal ripple current, which otherwise could exceed the rating of the converter's
external electrolytic input capacitor. The recommended external input capacitance is specified in the Input Characteristics
section on the Electrical Characteristics page. More detailed information is available in the application note titled “EMI
Characteristics” on the SynQor website.

Application Section
Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period
ensures that the converter will remain off for approximately
400 ms when it is shut down for any reason. When an
output short is present, this generates a 2.23 Hz “hiccup”
mode, which prevents the converter from overheating.
In all, there are seven ways that the converter can
be shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period:
When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t2, the
Startup
Inhibit
Period
has
elapsed,
and
the
output turns on within the typical Turn-On Time.
Thermal Considerations: The maximum operating
base-plate temperature, TB, is 100 ºC. Refer to the
thermal derating curve, Figure 5, 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 base-plate and the ambient
air for a given airflow rate. This information is usually
available from the heatsink vendor. The following formula
can then be used to determine the maximum power the
converter can dissipate for a given thermal condition:
Input Under-Voltage Lockout
Input Over-Voltage Lockout
Output Over-Voltage Protection
Over Temperature Shutdown
Current Limit
Short Circuit Protection
Turned off by the ON/OFF input
Figure F shows three turn-on scenarios, where a Startup
Inhibit Period is initiated at t0, t1, and t2:
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.
Pdiss
max
=
TB - T
A
RTHBA
This value of power dissipation can then be used in
conjunction with the data shown in Figure 3 to determine
the maximum load current (and power) that the converter
can deliver in the given thermal condition.
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.

Application Section
Full-Featured Application Notes
This section provides some basic application information for
the full-feature version of the MCOTS series converter.
All units in this product family include back-drive protection
to simplify the use of multiple converters in a parallel or
sequencing application. However, any voltage applied to
the output of the converter should be kept below 120% of
the rated output voltage of the converter.
In addition to back-drive protection, these units include the
following features (pins):
Current Share (pin C): The active current share feature
allows for N+1 and parallel applications. To achieve load
sharing, directly connect the I share pins of multiple units.
The load current will share equally among the multiple
units (±5% at full rated current). It is important that the
Vin(-) pins of the sharing units be directly connected and
NOT placed outside of an EMI filter or other impedance
path. The voltage at the I Share pin will range from 0 to 5
volts (at full rated current), referenced to the primary-side
ground, Vin(-).
Start Sync (pin B): The Start Synchronization pin will
allow a more consistent start-up sequence. To operate this
feature, connect together the Start-Sync pins of multiple
current-sharing units. This will permit immediate start-up
with loads greater than the current limit of a single unit.
Without this connection, any set of converters attempting to
asynchronously start (or re-start) with a load greater than
the current limit of a single unit will “hiccup”. This “hiccup”
mode will continue until one converter attempts a start at
the same time as the minimum number of additional units
necessary to sustain the load condition. For example, three
50 amp units starting into a 90 amp load would require
two units to simultaneously attempt a start. The Start
Sync connection synchronizes these starting attempts and
provides a more consistent and reliable start-up sequence.
For details about the “hiccup” mode or repeated startup
attempts, please see the “Startup Inhibit Period” note in the
Technical Specification.

Phone 1-888-567-9596
Clock Sync (pin A): The External Clock Synchronization pin
provides the ability for the user to control the EMI signature
and synchronize sensitive circuitry to quiet periods in the
converter operation. With this option, the converter can be
synchronized to an external clock signal whose frequency is
greater than that of the free-running internal clock. However,
substantially raising the converter’s frequency will reduce its
efficiency. Therefore, the recommended frequency range
for the external clock synchronization signal applied to this
pin is listed in the Technical Specification.
The following requirements should also be met:
• The external clock signal should be referenced to the
negative input voltage, Vin(-)
• The high level of the signal should be between
3.5V and 5.0V.
• The low level should be between -0.5V and +1.2V.
• Do not apply a clock sync or change frequency while
unit is running.
• Do not apply a clock signal lower than the
specified frequency.
• For using more than 5 units in parallel Contact SynQor.
