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(-).
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 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
baseplated or totally encased. See Ordering Information page for
available thermal design options.

REMOTE SENSE Pins 7(+) and 5(-): The SENSE(+) and
SENSE(-) inputs correct for voltage drops along the conductors that
connect the converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 7 should connect to Vout(+) and Pin 5 should connect 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 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. SynQor uses industry
standard trim equations.
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:

In negative logic versions, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning

OFF pin. See Ordering Information page for available enable logics.

The Trim Graph in Figure B shows the relationship between the

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.

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:

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: A typical circuit diagram, Figure C below
details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
Input Filtering and External Input Capacitance: Figure
D 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.
Output Filtering and External Output Capacitance: The
internal output filter components are shown in Figure D 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.
Thermal Considerations: For baseplated and encased versions,
the max operating baseplate temperature, TB, is 100 ºC. Refer to
the Thermal Derating Curves in the Technical Figures section 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 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 100 ºC.
Pdiss
max
Vin
100 ºC - 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.
For convenience, Thermal Derating Curves are provided in the
Technical Figures section.

Figure F: Smallest Possible Vout Step example for 12Vout unit at 48Vin..
Limited Output Voltage Resolution: The internal voltage
control feedback loop has limited resolution. Therefore, the
output voltage will exhibit discrete steps as the loop responds to
changes in line, load, trim, or remote sense. For instance, on close
examination, the startup ramp has a “stair-step” shape. Likewise, a
load transient response will be composed of multiple discrete steps.
The size of each step is well determined, and is shown in Figure E.
A close-up picture of a single step is shown in Figure F. Stepping
will not occur under steady state conditions.
Active Trim Not Recommended: It is important to note that
external feedback control using the sense or trim pins will cause
sustained stepping. External current share or active trim circuits
contain a separate reference voltage. After this external feedback
has taken control, the actual output voltage can still differ from
the external reference voltage by as much as the step size. If the
external feedback loop integrates this error volt-age, it will cause a
limit cycle oscillation. For this reason, external feedback using the
sense and trim pins is not recommended.
