DC-DC Converter
The PQ60050QGA20 PowerQor® Giga quarter‑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. All of the power and
control components are mounted to the multi-layer
PCB substrate with high-yield surface mount technology.
Since the PowerQor converter has no explicit
thermal connections, it is extremely reliable.
Operational Features
• High efficiency, >89% at full rated load current
• Delivers up to 20 A of output current (100 W) with
minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V, with 100V 100 ms
input voltage transient withstand
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable
EMI performance
• No minimum load requirement means no preload
resistors required
• See the Baseplate Addendum web page for more options.
PQ60050QGA20 Module
Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low
input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection protects
converter from excessive load current or short circuits
• Output over-voltage protection protects load from
damaging voltages
• Thermal shutdown protects converter from abnormal
environmental conditions
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard quarter-brick pin-out configuration
• Industry standard size: 1.45” x 2.3”
• Total height less than 0.40”, permits better airflow and
smaller card pitch
• Total weight: 1.2 oz (34 g), lower mass greatly reduces
vibration and shock problems
Control Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and
negative logic options are available)
• Remote sense for the output voltage compensates for
output distribution drops
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and
voltage margining

5) Undimensioned components are shown for visual
reference only.
6) All dimensions in inches (mm)

BASICOPERATIONANDFEATURES
CONTROLFEATURES
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 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 refer‑
encedtothereturnterminaloftheinputbus,Vin(-).Therearetwo
versions of the converter that differ by the sense of the logic used
fortheON/OFFinput.
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,
whichareMOSFETswithaverylowon-stateresistance,dissipatefar
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 eighth‑
brick converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin‑out
configuration.

Pins7and5mustbeconnectedforproperregulationoftheoutput
voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter will deliver
an output voltage that is slightly lower than its specified value.
Note: the output over-voltage protection circuit senses the voltage
acrosstheoutput(pins8and4)todeterminewhenitshouldtrigger,
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
thatoutputOVPdoesnottrigger,evenduringloadtransients.

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.
To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor
betweenPin6andPin5(SENSE(-)input).Foradesireddecreaseof

PROTECTIONFEATURES
Input Under-Voltage Lockout:Theconverterisdesignedtoturn
off when the input voltage is too low, helping avoid an input system
instability problem, described in more detail in the application note
titled“InputSystemInstability”.Thelockoutcircuitryisacomparator with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage is rising, it must
exceed the typical Turn-On Voltage Threshold value (listed on the
specificationpage)beforetheconverterwillturnon.Oncetheconverterison,theinputvoltagemustfallbelowthetypicalTurn-Off
VoltageThresholdvaluebeforetheconverterwillturnoff.
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
voltagedropbelowthespecifiedOutputDCCurrent-LimitShutdown
Voltage,theconverterturnsoff.
The converter then enters a “hiccup mode” where it repeatedly
turnsonandoffata5Hz(nominal)frequencywitha5%dutycycle
until the short circuit condition is removed. This prevents excessive
heating of the converter or the load board.
Output Over-Voltage Limit:Ifthevoltageacrosstheoutputpins
exceedstheOutputOver-VoltageProtectionthreshold,theconverter
will immediately stop switching. This prevents damage to the load
circuitdueto1)excessiveseriesresistanceinoutputcurrentpath
fromconverteroutputpinstosensepoint,2)areleaseofashortcircuit 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
thetemperatureatthesensedlocationreachestheOver-Temperature
Shutdown value. It will allow the converter to turn on again when the
temperatureofthesensedlocationfallsbytheamountoftheOverTemperatureShutdownRestartHysteresisvalue.

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,themaximumvariationoftheDCvalueofVout,dueto
both trimming and remote load voltage drops, should not be greater
than that specified for the output voltage trim range.

APPLICATIONCONSIDERATIONS
Input System Instability: This condition can occur because any
DC/DCconverterappearsincrementallyasanegativeresistance
load.Adetailedapplicationnotetitled“InputSystemInstability”
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.
Application Circuits: Figure D below provides a typical circuit
diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
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 input electrolytic
capacitor. The recommended external input capacitance is specified
inthe“InputCharacteristics”section.Moredetailedinformationis
availableintheapplicationnotetitled“EMICharacteristics”onthe
SynQor website.
Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures that
the converter will remain off for approximately 200ms when it is
shutdownforanyreason.Whenanoutputshortispresent,this
generatesa5Hz“hiccupmode,”whichpreventstheconverterfrom
overheating. In all, there are seven ways that the converter can be
shutdown,initiatingaStartupInhibitPeriod:
