Single In-Line Package
The NiQor ™ SIP DC/DC converter is a non-isolated
buck regulator, which employs synchronous rectification
to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. The
Non-Isolated
NiQor family of converters are used predominately in
DPA systems using a front end DC/DC high power brick
(48Vin to low voltage bus). The non-isolated NiQor
converters are then used at the point of load to create
the low voltage outputs required by the design. The
wide trim module can be programmed over a wide
range of output voltages through the use of a single
external resistor. RoHS 5/6 compliant (see page 17).

Note 1: Maintain a minimum of 0.4V headroom between input and output voltage to meet performance specifications.
Note 2: Tantalum or similar with additional ceramic as needed to reduce ripple current in external input capacitors. See Figure 26. When using more than
1000µF of output capacitance, input filter inductor should be reduced to <0.3µH or input capacitance should be increased to match output capacitance.
Consult factory for more demanding applications. Also refer to Application Considerations section of this datasheet.
Note 3: The over-current shutdown threshold for a short over-current pulse can be as high as 50A when trimming up a wide trim unit above 1.2V.
Note 4: When trimming a 0.9V unit to less than 0.88V with more than 1000µF of output capacitance, consult factory for trim circuit recommendations. This
also applies to trimming a 1.0V unit below 0.95V.
Note 5: Power derating curves are measured using an evaluation board consisting of 6 layers of 2 ounce copper.
Note 6: Wide trim option unit has a setpoint of 0.753V and a trim range of 0.85V-3.6V.
Note 7: In remote sense applications, when trimming down, the trim-down resistor should be connected to the sense pin for more accurate trimming results.
Note 8: User should allow sufficient transient response headroom between the module’s local output and the minimum OVP threshold.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
The NiQor series non-isolated converter uses a buck converter
that keeps the output voltage constant over variations in line,
load, and temperature. The NiQor modules employ synchronous rectification for very high efficiency.
3.0 - 5.5V
0.9 - 3.3V
10A
SIP
between Pin 10 (TRIM) and the Common Ground Pins. To
achieve a desired output voltage Vout, the value of the resistor
should be:
Rtrim =
21070
VOUT
_ 0.7525
_ 5110
(Ω)
Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not
require a heatsink or metal baseplate for operation. The NiQor
converter can thus be built more simply and reliably using high
yield surface mount techniques on a single PCB substrate.
For example, to program an output voltage of 3.3V, the Rtrim
resistor value is calculated as follows:
The NiQor series of SIPs and SMT converters uses the established industry standard footprint and pin-out configurations.
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.
CONTROL FEATURES
REMOTE ON/OFF (Pin 11): The ON/OFF input, Pin 11,
permits the user to control when the converter is on or off. There
are currently two options available for the ON/OFF input
described in the table below. (contact factory for other options)

OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM (Pin 10): The TRIM input permits
the user to adjust the output voltage according to the trim range
specifications by using an external resistor. If the TRIM feature
is not being used, leave the TRIM pin disconnected.
TRIM (wide trim output unit): The output voltage of the
NQ04T33 module can be programmed to any voltage from
0.85 to 3.6V by connecting a single external resistor Rtrim

Rtrim = (21070/(3.3 - 0.7525)) - 5110 = 3.16 kΩ
Total DC Variation of Vout: For the converter to meet its
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.
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”. 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.
Over Current Shutdown: The converter uses the control
(high-side) MOSFET on-resistance to detect short circuit or
excessive over-current conditions. The converter compensates
for the temperature variation of the MOSFET on-resistance,
keeping the overcurrent threshold roughly constant over temperature. Very short (<1mS) over-current pulses will see a
slightly higher apparent threshold than longer duration overcurrent events. This makes the converter less susceptible to shutdown from transient load conditions. However, once the overcurrent threshold is reached the converter ceases PWM operation within microseconds. After an over-current shutdown, the
converter will remain off for an inhibit period of 18 to 32 milliseconds, and then attempt a soft-start. Depending on the
impedance or current level of the overload condition, the converter will enter a "hiccup mode" where it repeatedly turns on
and off at a frequency of 25 to 50 Hz, until the overload or

short circuit condition is removed.
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 2-4 ms, the converter will automatically restart. Note the
wide trim model has a typical OVP threshold of 4.1V.
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
Input and Output Filtering: SynQor recommends an external input capacitor of either a tantalum, polymer or aluminum
electrolytic type on the input of the NQ03/NQ04 series nonisolated converters. This capacitance and resistance primarily
provides damping of the input filter, reduces the source impedance and guarantees input stability (see SynQor application
note "Input System Instability"). The input filter is formed by any
source or wiring inductance and the converter’s input capacitance. The external capacitance also provides an additional
benefit of ripple voltage reduction.

SIP
In this example, at full load, that would stress the tantalum input
capacitor to about 3A rms ripple current, possibly beyond its
rating. Placing an additional 40µF of ceramic in parallel with
that capacitor would reduce the ripple current to about 1.5A,
probably within its rating at 85oC. The input ripple current is
proportional to load current, so this example should be scaled
down according to the actual load current.
Additional input capacitance equal to half of the output capacitance is recommended when operating with more than 1000uF
of output capacitance on lower voltage outputs when trimming
down by more than half of the trim-down allowance (e.g., further than -2.5% on a 0.9V, or -5% on a 1.2V).
Input inductance should be reduced for maintaining input stability when operating with large output capacitance
(>1000µF). Reducing input inductance to <0.3µH provides for
good phase margin with up to the 4000µF maximum output
capacitance. If the input inductance must be increased up to
1µH even with large output capacitance (>1000µF), an input
capacitance equal to or greater than the output capacitance
may be needed to compensate the input impedance.
If no inductor is used to isolate the input ripple of the NiQor
converters from the source or from inputs of other NiQor converters, then this external capacitance might be provided by the
DC/DC converter used as the power source. SynQor's
PowerQor series converters typically have tantalum and ceramic output capacitors that would provide the damping.
An input inductor would help isolate the ripple currents and
voltages from the source or other NiQor style converters on the
voltage supply rail. If an input inductor is used, the recommended capacitance should guarantee stability and control the
ripple current for up to 1.0µH of input inductance.
A modest sized capacitor would suffice in most conditions, such
as a 330µF, 16V tantalum, with an ESR of approximately 50
mΩ. The NiQor family converters have an internal ceramic
input capacitor to reduce ripple current stress on the external
capacitors. An external ceramic capacitor of similar size
(330µF) with a series resistor of approximately 50 mΩ would
also suffice and would provide the filter damping.
The input inductor need not have very high inductance. A
value of 250 nanohenries would equate to almost 500 miliohm
of series impedance at the switching frequency of 300 kHz.
This would be working against an assumed capacitive ESR of
30mΩ on the supply side of the inductor, providing significant
isolation and ripple reduction.
Additional ceramic capacitance may be needed on the input,
in parallel with the tantalum capacitor, to relieve ripple current
stress on the tantalum capacitors. The external capacitance
forms a current divider with the 40µF internal ceramic capacitance. At 300 kHz., the impedance of the internal capacitance
is about 15mΩ capacitive. At that frequency, an SMT 330µF
tantalum capacitor would have an impedance of about 50mΩ
resistive, essentially just the ESR.
No external capacitance is required at the output, however, the
ripple voltage can be further reduced if ceramic and tantalum
capacitors are added at the output. Since the internal output
capacitance is about 50µF, approximately that amount of
ceramic capacitance would be needed to produce a noticeable
reduction in output ripple. The value of the tantalum capacitors
is both to provide a high capacitance for pulsed loads and to
provide damping of the distribution network with their inherent
ESR, which is low, but higher than ceramics. Additional output

capacitance in the range of 300-500µF is beneficial for reducing the deviation in response to a fast load transient.
Input Over-Voltage Prevention: The power system
designer must take precautions to prevent damaging the NiQor
converters by input overvoltage. This is another reason to be
careful about damping the input filter so that no ringing occurs
from an underdamped filter. The voltage must be prevented
from exceeding the absolute maximum voltage indicated in the
Electrical Specifications section of the data sheet under all conditions of turn-on, turn-off and load transients and fault conditions. The power source should have an over voltage shutdown
threshold as close as reasonably possible to the operating
point.
Additional protection can come from additional input capacitance, perhaps on the order of 1,000µF, but contingent on the
source inductance value. A large source inductance would
require more capacitance to keep the input voltage below the
absolute maximum, if the load current were interrupted suddenly. This can be caused by either a shutdown of the NiQor
from a fault or from the load itself, for example when a card is
hot-swapped out, suddenly dropping the load to zero. This is
further justification for keeping the source inductance low, as
mentioned above. When the power source is configured with
remote sensing, the series resistance of the filter inductor and
any other conductors or devices between the source and the
sense point will result in a voltage drop which, in the event of
a load current interruption, would add to the NiQor input voltage.
A TVS device could also be used to clamp the voltage level during these conditions, but the relatively narrow range between
operating voltage and the absolute maximum voltage restrict
the use of these devices to lower source current levels that will
not drive the transient voltage suppressor above the voltage
limit when all the source current is flowing into the clamp. A
TVS would be a good supplemental control, in addition to careful selection of inductance and capacitance values.
Equivalent Model for Input Ripple: A simple but reasonably accurate model of input ripple is to treat the NiQor input
as a pulsed AC current source at 300 kHz.in parallel with a
very low ESR capacitor, see Figure B. The peak-to-peak current
of the source model is equal to the NiQor load current, representing the peak current in the NiQor's smoothing choke. The
capacitor represents the 40µF input ceramic capacitance of the
NiQor converter, with a nearly negligible ESR of less than 1
mΩ. A further refinement can be made by setting the duty cycle
of the pulsed source to the output voltage divided by the input
voltage.

The only error in this simplified model is that it ignores the ripple current in the choke, usually less than 20% of the load current, and it ignores the resistive losses inside the NiQor converter, which would alter the duty cycle very slightly.
The model is a good guide for calculating the effects of external input capacitors and other filter elements on ripple voltage
and ripple current stress on capacitors.

Figure B: Equivalent model for input ripple
(greater than 1,000µF), special consideration must be given to
the following condition. If a back-drive source is feeding voltage back to a NiQor output, perhaps through some ASIC or
other load device, and the back-driving source is greater than
60% of the input voltage to the NiQor that has not been
enabled yet, an overcurrent condition may exist on startup. This
condition could prevent a proper startup when the second
NiQor is enabled. The condition is caused by the second
NiQor having to ramp the voltage to a high duty cycle with a
high capacitance load, which can trip the overcurrent shutdown, preventing a startup. The following remedies for this situation can be applied:
1) Limit output capacitance on higher voltage outputs to
1,000µF. OR,
2) Prevent back-drive conditions that raise the off-state output
voltage to more than 60% of the input voltage.
Thermal Considerations: For vertical mount applications
at elevated temperatures that call for forced air cooling (see
thermal derating curves - measured using 6 layer 2oz copper
board), the preferred airflow direction is from pin 11 to pin 1,
as indicated in the thermal images provided. If airflow is in the
opposite direction (pin 1 to pin 11) the power devices will run
hotter by about 5 OC (corresponding to an additional 1 ampere
of load derating at conditions where derating occurs).
For horizontal mount applications (NQ0xxxxHKA parts), where
the inductor and power devices are facing down, the preferred

airflow direction is into the leading edge opposite the pin header edge, such that air flowing under the NiQor PCB flows out
between the pins and the inductor. With this airflow direction,
and with the inductor firmly contacting the application board,
the user can apply the thermal derating curves provided herein
(measured using 6 layer 2oz copper board) for vertical mount
with airflow from pin 11 to pin 1. Airflows in other directions
across the horizontally mounted NiQor will result in temperatures that are higher by about 5 OC with pin 11 to pin 1 airflow
and about 10 OC with pin 1 to pin 11 airflow. Also, temperature increases of up to 10 OC (2 Amp lower derating) can be
expected if the inductor thermal interface does not make good
contact to the customer's circuit board.

RoHS Compliance: The EU led RoHS (Restriction of

Layout Suggestion: When using a fixed output NiQor converter, the designer may chose to use the trim function and
would thus be required to reserve board space for a trim resistor. It is suggested that even if the designer does not plan to use
the trim function, additional space should be reserved on the
board for a trim resistor. This will allow the flexibility to use the
wide output voltage trim range NiQor module at a later date.
Any trim resistor should connect to the ground or output node
at one of the respective pins of the NiQor, so as to prevent the
trim level from being affected by load drops through the ground
or power planes.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pin 3 - Optional): The optional
SENSE(+) input corrects for voltage drops along the conductors
that connect the converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 3 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(+) – SENSE(+) < Sense Range % x Vout
Pin 3 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 1, 2 and 4) to determine when it
should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense lead
(pin 3).
