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 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 referenced to the return terminal of the input bus, Vin(-). The converter is available with either positive or negative 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 significantly less energy than Schottky diodes, enabling the PowerQor converter to achieve high efficiency. The PowerQor series of half-brick, quarter-brick and eighth-brick converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out configuration. In the positive logic version, the ON/OFF input is active high (meaning that a high voltage turns the converter on). In the negative logic version, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning that a low voltage turns the converter on). Figure A details five possible circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin. REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 7 and 5): The SENSE(+) inputs correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the converter’s output pins to the load. Pin 7 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 5 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 sense leads (pins 7 and 5) to determine when it should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s output pins (pins 8 and 4). ON/OFF Vin(_) Vin(_) Remote Enable Circuit ON/OFF ON/OFF Negative Logic (Permanently Enabled) 5V ON/OFF TTL/ CMOS Vin(_) Open Collector Enable Circuit Vin(_) Positive Logic (Permanently Enabled) 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: Rtrim-down = (100% )_2 D kW where ON/OFF D% = Vnominal – Vdesired Vnominal x 100% Vin(_) Direct Logic Drive Figure A: Various circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin.

For a desired increase of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be Rtrim- = up – 2) x V ( Vnominal 1.225 DES + VNOM VDES – VNOM kW Figure B graphs the relationship between the trim resistor value, Rtrim-up and Rtrim-down, showing the total range the output voltage can be trimmed up or down. 10,000.0 Trim Resistance (kOhms) 1,000.0 PROTECTION FEATURES Input Under-Voltage Lockout: 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. 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* 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. Output Current Limit: If the output current exceeds the “Output DC Current Limit Inception” point*, 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 50ms, then the unit will enter into hiccup mode, with a 500ms 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. The full I-V output characteristics can be seen in the figures. 100.0 10.0 1.0 0.1 0.0 0 5 10 15 20 25 % Increase in Vout 30 35 40 45 50 % Decrease in Vout Figure B: Trim Graph for 12Vout module 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. Output Over-Voltage Limit: If the voltage directly across the output pins exceeds the “Output Over-Voltage Protection” threshold*, the converter will immediately stop switching. This shutdown is latching; unlike other shutdown types, the converter will not restart unless the input power is cycled or the ON/OFF input is toggled. 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 “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” 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. * See Electrical Characteristics page.

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 C. A close-up picture of a single step is shown in Figure D. Stepping will not occur under steady state conditions. Current share and 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 voltage, it will cause a limit cycle oscillation. For this reason, external feedback using the sense and trim pins is not recommended. 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. 140 Vout Step Size (mV) 120 100 80 60 40 = 12.0 Vout = 10.0 Vout 20 ≤ 8.75 Vout 0 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 Vin (V) Figure C: Output voltage resolution.

More detailed information is available in the application note titled “EMI Characteristics” on the SynQor website. Output Filtering and External Output Capacitance: Figure F below shows the internal output filter components. This filter dramatically reduces output voltage ripple. However, some minimum external output capacitance is required, as specified in the Output Characteristics section on the Electrical Specifications page.

As long as the user’s thermal system keeps TB < 100 ºC, the converter can deliver its full rated power. 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 base-plate 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. max Pdiss = 100 ºC - TA RTHBA This value of power dissipation can then be used in conjunction with the data shown in Figure 2 to determine the maximum load current (and power) that the converter can deliver in the given thermal condition.
