DC/DC Converter
The PQ60260HTB10 PowerQor® Tera converter is a nextgeneration, 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. However, this unit provides a
baseplate for clamshell applications and optional heatsinking in severe thermal environments. The Tera series
converters offer the maximum usable current output for
any standard “half-brick” module. The Tera units also
feature active current sharing for N+1 and parallel applications. RoHS Compliant see last page.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
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 internal
ON/OFF circuitry.
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 step-down to achieve the low
output voltage required.
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.
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.
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(-)] < 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.
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 higher than its specified
value.
The PowerQor series of half-brick, quarter-brick and eighth-brick
converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out configuration.
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.
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(-). There are
two versions of the converter that differ by the sense of the logic
used for the ON/OFF input.
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.

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” on the SynQor website.
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.

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.
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: 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.
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.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
• Input Over-Voltage Shutdown (not present in Quarter-brick)
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.
• Output Over-Voltage Protection
• Over Temperature Shutdown
• Current Limit
• Short Circuit Protection
Application Circuits: Figure D below provides a typical circuit
diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
• Turned off by the ON/OFF input
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 on the Electrical Specifications
page. 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:
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.
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.
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:
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.

Full Feature Application Notes
This section provides some basic application information for the
full-feature version of the PowerQor series converter. The pin-out
configuration for these optional feature pins is shown on page 2,
and the part numbering format is shown on the last page of this
specification sheet.
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 3): 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 this Technical Specification.
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 would be the lowest value possible without
dropping below the minimum frequency listed below:
340 KHz for the 26V unit
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 signal lower than the specified
frequency.
