DC/DC Converter
The PQ60120HPA20 PowerQor™ Peta half-brick converter
is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed
switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses synchronous
rectification to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency.
The power dissipated by the converter is so low that a
heatsink is not required, which saves cost, weight, height,
and application effort. The Peta series converters offer
industry leading output current for a standard “half-brick”
module. In addition to typical single ouput voltage
applications, the Peta units can also be used to provide a
wide input range Intermediate Bus for IBA systems.
PQ60120HPA20 Module

• Ultra-high efficiency, 92.5% at full rated load
• Delivers up to 240 Watts of output power (20A) with
minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V, with 100V
100ms input voltage transient capability
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI performance
Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low
input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter
from external load induced pre-bias
• Output over-voltage protection
• Thermal shutdown

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
The PowerQor series converter 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 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(-).
There are two versions of the converter that differ by the sense
of the logic used for the ON/OFF input.
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 PowerQor converter has such
high efficiency, even at very low output voltages and very high
output currents.
Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not
require a heatsink for operation. Since a heatsink is not required,
the PowerQor converter does not need a metal baseplate or
potting material to help conduct the dissipated energy to the
heatsink. The PowerQor converter can thus be built more simply
and reliably using high yield surface mount techniques on a PCB
substrate.
The PowerQor series of half-brick, quarter-brick and eighthbrick converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out
configuration.

REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 8 and 6): The SENSE(+) inputs
correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the
converter’s output pins to the load.
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. 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 8 and 6 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 lower than
its specified value.

In the positive logic version, the ON/OFF input is active high
(meaning that a high turns the converter on). In the negative
logic version, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning that a
low turns the converter on). Figure A details five possible circuits
for driving the ON/OFF pin. Figure B is a detailed look of the

Technical Specification
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.
To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a
resistor between Pin 7 and Pin 6 (SENSE(-) input). For a desired
decrease of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor
should be
Rtrim-down =
- 2 (kW)
(100%
D )
where
D% =
Vnominal – Vdesired
x 100%
Vnominal
To increase the output voltage, the user should connect a
resistor between Pin 7 and Pin 8 (SENSE(+) input). For a desired
increase of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor
should be
Rtrim-up
=
(
)
Vnominal – 2
x VDES + VNOM
1.225
VDES - VNOM
(kW)
Figure C graphs 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.
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.
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”. 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.
Input Over-Voltage Shutdown: Available on PQ48 models
only. The converter turns off when the input voltage is too
high, allowing the converter to withstand an input voltage as
high as 100V without destruction. The shutdown circuitry is a
comparator with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage exceeds
the typical Input Over-Voltage Shutdown value, the converter
will turn off. Once the converter is off, it will turn back on when
the input voltage falls below the minimum Input Over-Voltage
Shutdown value.
Output Current Limit: The maximum current limit remains
constant as the output voltage drops. However, once the
impedance of the short 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 5 Hz (nominal) frequency with a 5% duty
cycle until the short circuit condition is removed. This prevents
excessive heating of the converter or the load board.

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
200 ms the converter will automatically restart.

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 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 web site (www.synqor.
com) which provides an understanding of why this instability
arises, and shows the preferred solution for correcting it.
Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures that
the converter will remain off for approximately 200ms when it is
shut down for any reason. When an output short is present, this
generates a 5Hz “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:
Application Circuits: Figure D below provides a typical circuit
diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure E below
provides a diagram showing 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. More detailed
information is available in the application note titled “EMI
Characteristics” on the SynQor website.

Figure F shows three turn-on scenarios, where a Startup Inhibit
Period is initiated at t0, t1, and t2:
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.
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.
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.
