Technical Specification
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 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(-). 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.

ON/OFF
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.
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 higher than its specified value.
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.

Technical Specification
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

where
D% =
Vnominal – Vdesired
Vnominal
x 100%
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

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.

Figure C: Trim Graph
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.
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.
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.

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: 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 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.

Technical Specification
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:
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
• Input Over-Voltage Shutdown (not present in Quarter-brick)
• Output Over-Voltage Protection
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.
• Over Temperature Shutdown
• Current Limit
When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t2, the Startup Inhibit
Period has elapsed, and the output turns on within the typical TurnOn Time.
• Short Circuit Protection
• Turned off by the ON/OFF input
