DC-DC Converter
®
The BusQor® BQ57120QEx50 bus 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, which saves cost,
weight, height, and application effort. The BusQor
series provides an isolated step down voltage from
52.5 V to 13.1 V intermediate bus with no regulation in
a standard quarter-brick module. BusQor converters
are ideal for creating the mid-bus voltage required
to drive point-of-load (non-isolated) converters in
intermediate bus architectures.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
With voltages dropping and currents rising, the economics of
an Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) are becoming more
attractive, especially in systems requiring multiple low voltages.
IBA systems separate the role of isolation and voltage scaling
from regulation and sensing. The BusQor series bus converter
provides isolation and a coarse voltage step down in one
compact module, leaving regulation to simpler, less expensive
non-isolated converters.
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.
In Figure A below, the BusQor module provides the isolation
stage of the IBA system. The isolated bus then distributes power
to the non-isolated buck regulators to generate the required
voltage levels at the point of load. In this case, the bucks are
represented with SynQor’s NiQor series of non-isolated dc/dc
converters. In many applications requiring multiple low voltage
outputs, significant savings can be achieved in board space
and overall system costs.
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 B is a
detailed look of the internal ON/OFF circuitry.
When designing an IBA system with bus converters, the
designer can select from a variety of bus voltages. While there
is no universally ideal bus voltage, most designs employ one of
the following: 12 V, 9 V, 7.5 V, 5 V, or 3.3 V. Higher bus voltages
can lead to lower efficiency for the buck regulators but are
more efficient for the bus converter and provide lower board
level distribution current. Lower bus voltages offer the opposite
trade offs.
SynQor’s 12 Vout BusQor module acts as a true dc transformer.
The output voltage is proportional to the input voltage, with a
specified “turns ratio” or voltage ratio, plus minor drop from
the internal resistive losses in the module. When used in
IBA systems, the output variation of the BusQor must be in
accordance with the input voltage range of the non-isolated
converters being employed.

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”. The
lockout circuitry is a comparator with DC hysteresis. When
the input voltage is rising, it must exceed the typical TurnOn 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.
Also see Figure E.
Output Current Limit: The output of the BusQor module
is electronically protected against output overloads. When
an overload current greater than the “DC Current-Limit
Inception” specification is drawn from the output, the output
shuts down to zero volt in a period of 20 ms typical (see
Figure D). The shutdown period lasts for a typical period
of 200 ms (Figure D) after which the BusQor tries to power
up again. If the overload persists, the output voltage will
go through repeated cycles of shutdown and restart with
a duty cycle of 10% (On) and 90% (Off) respectively. The
BusQor module returns (auto resetting) to normal operation
once the overload is removed. The BusQor is designed
to survive in this mode indefinitely without damage and
without human intervention.

Figure D: Output Short Circuit and Auto-Resetting protection diagram (not to

Output Short Circuit Protection: When the output of
the BusQor module is shorted, a peak current of typically
95 A will flow into the short circuit for a period of about
20 ms. The output of the BusQor will shutdown to zero for
~ 200 mS (Figure D). At the end of the shutdown period
the BusQor module tries to power up again. If the short
circuit persists, the output voltage will go through repeated
cycles of shutdown and restart with a duty cycle of 10%
(On) and 90% (Off) respectively. The BusQor module
returns (auto resetting) to normal operation once the short
circuit is removed. The BusQor is designed to survive in
this mode indefinitely without damage and without human
intervention.
In the Auto resetting mode, also referred to as “Hiccup”
mode, the power drawn from the 52.5 V input is about 5
Watts, most of which is dissipated into the external fault. It
is important that copper traces and pads from the output
circuit be designed to withstand the short term peaks,
although the average current into the fault may be as low
as 5 A typical. See Figure 18 for appropriate waveform.

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.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS

Start-Up Inhibit Period: Figure E details the Start-Up Inhibit Period
for the BusQor module. At time t0, when Vin is applied with On/Off pin
asserted (enabled), the BusQor output begins to build up. Before time t1,
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 typical Startup Inhibit Period of 12 ms is initiated. The output builds up
to 90% of the nominal value of 13.1 V in a period of 15 ms typical (50 %
load).
0.023”
At time t2, when the On/Off pin is de-asserted (disabled), the BusQor
output instantly drops to 0V. Fall time from 13.1 V to 0 V is dependent on
output capacitance and any parasitic trace inductance in the output load
circuit.
At time t3, when the On/Off pin is re-asserted (enabled), the BusQor
module output begins to build up after the inhibit period of 200 ms typical
has elapsed.
Refer to the Control Features section of the data sheet for details on
enabling and disabling methods for N and P logic type modules.

Output Load Current Calculation: The BusQor series allows the
converter output load to be measured without adding a current loop or
external shunt resistor to the designer’s PCB board under test. On the top
side of the BusQor converter is a current sense resistor as shown in Figure
G. The output load current is proportional to the voltage drop across this
sense resistor. This calculation is detailed below. A current sense resistor
referenced to the primary input is used in the equation below to calculate
the output load current.

Component Keep Out Area: Keep out areas for components not
referenced to the Primary circuit are shown in shaded areas in Figure F.
The keep out areas shown are consistent with UL’s requirements for Basic
Insulation of 0.04” (40 mils) for Pollution degree 2. User should consult UL
standards for other insulation classes and operating environments.
For applications that require mounting parts BELOW the BusQor
module, one should be aware of potential high levels of electromagnetic
interference, in addition to safety keep out. Users are advised to consult
SynQor Applications engineering in such applications.
Copper Keep Out Area: Keep out areas shown in Figure F are to be
observed for Top layer copper traces and vias. Internal layers buried one
or more layers may be exempt, depending on the PCB material grade and
thickness. Users are advised to consult UL standards for details.
Product # BQ57120QEx50
Note: Referenced keep out widths are adequate to withstand UL’s Basic
Insulation Dielectric strength tests for approved PCB materials. Applications
requiring Double or Reinforced insulation must double the keep out widths
shown in Figure F. Keep out areas shown have standard margins above
UL’s minimum requirements.

where:
Iload = output load current
VRsense(no load) = voltage across the sense resistor with converter at
zero load
The number 2000 is a “Load Current Scale Factor” for this product, valid
only for Vin = 52.5 V. Hence, measurement should be made at this input
voltage.
The voltage drop across the sense resistor is about 25 mV at full load of
50 A. Therefore, proper measuring techniques must be used to ensure
accuracy. A calibrated DMM set to 300 mV is acceptable. Since this
measurement is done on the Primary area of the converter, a slight nonlinearity may be observed over the load current range. Measurements
should be made at 52.5 V input voltage. Using the Scale Factor referenced
above, the error may be on the order of 4%. For more detailed information
consult the application note on SynQor’s website titled “Output Load
Current Calculations”.

Deviation from 50/50 Sharing (%)
Current Sharing: BusQor modules are designed to operate in parallel
without the use of any external current share circuitry. A typical circuit for
paralleling two BusQor modules is shown in Figure H. An output capacitor
is recommended across each module and located close to the converter
for optimum filtering and noise control performance. Dedicated input
inductors are recommended but are considered optional. Input capacitors
must be located close to the converter module. PCB layout in the input
circuit should be such that high frequency ripple currents of each module is
restricted to a loop formed by the input capacitors and the input terminals
of the BusQor module. See Figure J for details on PCB layout. Contact
SynQor application engineering for further assistance on PCB trace design.
