D 03/04/14 Page 9 Input: 35-75V Output: 50V Current: 12A Package: Half-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(-). 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). Figure A details possible circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin. Figure B is a detailed look of the internal ON/OFF circuitry. See Ordering Information page for available enable logics. REMOTE SENSE Pins 8(+) and 6(-): The SENSE(+) and SENSE(-) inputs correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the converter’s output pins to the load. 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 or even a baseplate 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 totally encased. See Ordering Information page for available thermal design options. SynQor half-brick converters use the industry standard footprint and pin-out.

For a desired increase of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be: 50k ON/OFF ( Vin(_) Figure A: Various circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin. 18V(max) Rtrim-down = where Vin(_) Open Collector Enable Circuit Pin 8 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 6 should be connected 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 9 and 5) to determine when it should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense leads (Pins 8 and 6). 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 7): 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 7 (TRIM) and Pin 6 (SENSE(–) input). For a desired decrease of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be: 10k TTL Rtrim-up = Vin(_) ( ) Vnominal – 2 × Vdesired + Vnominal kΩ 1.225 Vdesired – Vnominal Figure B: Internal ON/OFF pin circuitry Product # PQ60500HZx12 Phone 1-888-567-9596 www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005982 Rev.

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. It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the TRIM pin. The node is internally filtered 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. 100,000.0 Trim Resistance (kOhms) 10,000.0 1,000.0 100.0 10.0 1.0 0.1 0.0 0 5 10 15 20 % increase Vout 25 30 35 Figure C: Trim Graph Product # PQ60500HZx12 40 % decrease Vout Phone 1-888-567-9596 45 50 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 * See Electrical Characteristics section. www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005982 Rev. D 03/04/14 Page 11 Input: 35-75V Output: 50V Current: 12A Package: Half-brick Applications Section 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. Thermal Considerations: For baseplated and encased versions, the max operating baseplate temperature, TB, is 100ºC. Refer to the Thermal Derating Curves in the Technical Figures section to see the available output current at baseplate temperatures below 100ºC. 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 100ºC. Application Circuits: A typical circuit diagram, Figure D below details the input filtering and voltage trimming. Input Filtering and External Input Capacitance: Figure E 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. Pdiss 100ºC - 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. max Output Filtering and External Output Capacitance: The internal output filter components are shown in Figure E 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. For convenience, Thermal Derating Curves are provided in the Technical Figures section.

If an output common-mode choke is used, sense lines should be connected on the module-side of the choke. • If the TRIM pin is used, then each unit should have its own trim resistor connected locally between TRIM and SENSE(+) or SENSE(-). Connection of Paralleled Units: Up to 100 units can be placed in parallel. In this current share architecture, one unit is dynamically chosen to act as a master, controlling all other units. It cannot be predicted which unit will become the master at any given time, so units should be wired symmetrically (see Figures F & G). Vin(+) Sense(+) On/Off ≥1 nF Elec. Cap.

D 03/04/14 Page 13 Input: 35-75V Output: 50V Current: 12A Package: Half-brick Applications Section Automatic Configuration: The micro-controller inside each power converter unit is programmed at the factory with a unique chip number. In every other respect, each shared unit is identical and has the same orderable part number. On initial startup (or after the master is disabled or shuts down), each unit determines the chip number of every other unit currently connected to the shared serial bus formed by the SHARE(+) and SHARE(-) pins. The unit with the highest chip number dynamically reconfigures itself from slave to master. The rest of the units (that do not have the highest chip number) become slaves. The master unit then broadcasts its control state over the shared serial bus on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The slave units interpret and implement the control commands sent by the master, mirroring every action of the master unit. If the master is disabled or encounters a fault condition, all units will immediately shut down, and if the master unit is unable to restart, then the unit with the next highest chip number will become master. If a slave unit is disabled or encounters a fault condition, all other units continue to run, and the slave unit can restart seamlessly. Automatic Interleaving: The slave units automatically lock frequency with the master, and interleave the phase of their switching transitions for improved EMI performance. To obtain the phase angle relative to the master, each slave divides 360 degrees by the total number of connected units, and multiples the result by its rank among chip numbers of connected units. ORing Diodes placed in series with the converter outputs must also have a resistor smaller than 500 Ω placed in parallel. This resistor keeps the output voltage of a temporarily disabled slave unit consistent with the active master unit. If the output voltage of the slave unit were allowed to totally discharge, and the slave unit tried to restart, it would fail because the slave reproduces the duty cycle of the master unit, which is running in steady state and cannot repeat an output voltage soft-start. Common-Mode Filtering must be either a single primary side choke handling the inputs from all the paralleled units, or multiple chokes placed on the secondary side. This ensures that a solid Vin(-) plane is maintained between units. Adding a common-mode choke at the output eliminates the need for the 470 nH indcutor at the output of shared units when Vout > 18 V. If an output common-mode choke is used, sense connections must be made on the module-side of the choke. Resonance Between Output Capacitors is Possible: When multiple higher-voltage modules are paralleled, it is possible to excite a series resonance between the output capacitors internal to the module and the parasitic inductance of the module output pins. This is especially likely at higher output voltages where the module internal capacitance is relatively small. This problem is independent of external output capacitance. For modules with an output voltage greater than 18 V, to ensure that this resonant frequency is below the switching frequency it is recommended to add a nominal 470 nH of inductance, located close to the module, in series with each converter output. There must be at least 10 ¼F of capacitance per converter, located on the load-side of that inductor. The inductance could be from the leakage inductance of a secondary-side common-mode choke; in which case the output capacitor should be appropriately sized for the chosen choke. When using an output common-mode choke, the Sense lines must be connected on the module-side of the common-mode choke (see Figure G). Product # PQ60500HZx12 Phone 1-888-567-9596 RS-485 Physical Layer: The internal RS-485 transceiver includes many advanced protection features for enhanced reliability: • Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for Driver Overload Protection • IEC61000 ESD Protection to +/- 16.5 kV • Hot Plug Circuitry – SHARE(+) and SHARE(-) Outputs Remain Tri-State During Power-up/Power-down Internal Schottky Diode Termination: Despite signaling at high speed with fast edges, external termination resistors are not necessary. Each receiver has four Schottky diodes built in, two for each line in the differential pair. These diodes clamp any ringing caused by transmission line reflections, preventing the voltage from going above about 5.5 V or below about -0.5 V. Any subsequent ringing then inherently takes place between 4.5 and 5.5 V or between -0.5 and 0.5 V. Since each receiver on the bus contains a set of clamping diodes to clamp any possible transmission line reflection, the bus does not necessarily need to be routed as a daisy-chain. Pins SHARE(+) and SHARE(-) are referenced to Vin(-), and therefore should be routed as a differential pair near the Vin(-) plane for optimal signal integrity. The maximum difference in voltage between Vin() pins of all units on the share-bus should be kept within 0.3 V to prevent steady-state conduction of the termination diodes. Therefore, the Vin(-) connections to each unit must be common, preferably connected by a single copper plane. Share Accuracy: Inside each converter micro-controller, the duty cycle is generated digitally, making for excellent duty cycle matching between connected units. Some small duty cycle mismatch is caused by (well controlled) process variations in the MOSFET gate drivers. However, the voltage difference induced by this duty cycle mismatch appears across the impedance of the entire power converter, from input to output, multiplied by two, since the differential current flows out of one converter and into another. So, a small duty cycle mismatch yields very small differential currents, which remain small even when 100 units are placed in parallel. In other current-sharing schemes, it is common to have a currentsharing control loop in each unit. However, due to the limited bandwidth of this loop, units do not necessarily share current on startup or during transients before this loop has a chance to respond. In contrast, the current-sharing scheme used in this product has no control dynamics: control signals are transmitted fast enough that the slave units can mirror the control state of the master unit on a cycle-by-cycle basis, and the current simply shares properly, from the first switching cycle to the last. www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005982 Rev.
