BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
For a desired increase of the nominal output voltage, the value of
the resistor should be:
The NiQor series non-isolated converter uses a buck-converter
that keeps the output voltage constant over variations in line,
load, and temperature. The NiQor modules employ synchronous
rectification for very high efficiency.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: The TRIM input permits the user to
adjust the output voltage according to the trim range specifications by using an external resistor. If the TRIM feature is not being
used, leave the TRIM pin disconnected.
TRIM-UP: To increase the output voltage from the nominal setpoint of 0.7525V using an external resistor, connect the resistor
Rtrim-up between the TRIM and the Ground pin according to the
diagram below.

To maintain the accuracy of the output voltage over load current,
it is vital that any trim-up resistor be terminated directly to the converter's ground foot, not at the connection to the load. A separate Kelvin connection to the PCB pad for the ground foot is optimal. Trim-down resistors should be terminated at the converter's
Sense+ pin.
We do not recommend bypassing the trim pin directly to ground
with a capacitor. The voltage gain from the trim pin to output is
rather large, 15:1. Ground bounce through a bypass capacitor
could introduce significant noise to the converter's control circuit.
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 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.
Output Current Limiting: To provide protection in an output
over load fault condition, the unit is equipped with internal overcurrent protection. When the over-current protection is triggered,
the unit enters hiccup mode. The units operate normally once the
fault condition is removed.

Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not
require a heatsink or metal baseplate for operation. The NiQor
converter can thus be built more simply and reliably using high
yield surface mount techniques on a single PCB substrate.
The NiQor series of SIPs and SMT converters uses the established
industry standard footprint and pin-out configurations.

Internal Over-Voltage Protection: To fully protect from
excessive output voltage, the NQ04 series contains an Output
Over-Voltage Shutdown circuitry.
This OVP is independent of the trimmed setpoint. As such, the
converter's load is protected from faults in the external trim circuitry (such as a trim pin shorted to ground). Since the setpoint
of this OVP does not track trim, it is set at 4.2V, in the wide-trim
W33 model.

The shutdown point is fixed on standard option. These converters also offer adjustable OVP set point. For more detailed information contact SynQor technical support.
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.
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Input and Output Filtering: SynQor recommends an external
input capacitor of either a tantalum, polymer or aluminum electrolytic type on the input of the NQ04 series non-isolated converters. This capacitance and resistance primarily provides
damping of the input filter, reduces the source impedance and
guarantees input stability (see SynQor application note "Input
System Instability"). The input filter is formed by any source or
wiring inductance and the converter’s input capacitance. The
external capacitance also provides an additional benefit of ripple voltage reduction.
A modest sized capacitor would suffice in most conditions, such
as a 330µF, 16V tantalum, with an ESR of approximately 50 mW.
The NiQor family converters have an internal ceramic input
capacitor to reduce ripple current stress on the external capacitors. An external ceramic capacitor of similar size (330µF) with
a series resistor of approximately 50 mW would also suffice and
would provide the filter damping.
Additional ceramic capacitance may be needed on the input, in
parallel with the tantalum capacitor, to relieve ripple current
stress on the tantalum capacitors. The external capacitance forms
a current divider with the 40µF internal ceramic capacitance. At
300 kHz., the impedance of the internal capacitance is about
15mW capacitive. At that frequency, an SMT 330µF tantalum
capacitor would have an impedance of about 50mW resistive,
essentially just the ESR.
In this example, at full load, that would stress the tantalum input
capacitor to about 3A rms ripple current, possibly beyond its rating. Placing an additional 40µF of ceramic in parallel with that
capacitor would reduce the ripple current to about 1.5A, probably within its rating at 85oC. The input ripple current is proportional to load current, so this example should be scaled down
according to the actual load current.
Additional input capacitance equal to half of the output capaciProduct # NQ04W33xKA10

tance is recommended when operating with more than 1000uF
of output capacitance on lower voltage outputs when trimming
down by more than half of the trim-down allowance (e.g., further
than -2.5% on a 0.9V, or -5% on a 1.2V).
Input inductance should be reduced for maintaining input stability when operating with large output capacitance (>1000µF).
Reducing input inductance to <0.3µH provides for good phase
margin with up to the 4000µF maximum output capacitance. If
the input inductance must be increased up to 1µH even with large
output capacitance (>1000µF), an input capacitance equal to or
greater than the output capacitance may be needed to compensate the input impedance.
If no inductor is used to isolate the input ripple of the NiQor converters from the source or from inputs of other NiQor converters,
then this external capacitance might be provided by the DC/DC
converter used as the power source. SynQor's PowerQor series
converters typically have tantalum and ceramic output capacitors
that would provide the damping.
An input inductor would help isolate the ripple currents and voltages from the source or other NiQor style converters on the voltage supply rail. If an input inductor is used, the recommended
capacitance should guarantee stability and control the ripple current for up to 1.0µH of input inductance.
The input inductor need not have very high inductance. A value
of 250 nanohenries would equate to almost 500 miliohm of
series impedance at the switching frequency of 300 kHz. This
would be working against an assumed capacitive ESR of 30mW
on the supply side of the inductor, providing significant isolation
and ripple reduction.
No external capacitance is required at the output, however, the
ripple voltage can be further reduced if ceramic and tantalum
capacitors are added at the output. Since the internal output
capacitance is about 50µF, approximately that amount of ceramic capacitance would be needed to produce a noticeable reduction in output ripple. The value of the tantalum capacitors is both
to provide a high capacitance for pulsed loads and to provide
damping of the distribution network with their inherent ESR,
which is low, but higher than ceramics. Additional output capacitance in the range of 300-500µF is beneficial for reducing the
deviation in response to a fast load transient.
Input Over-Voltage Prevention: The power system designer must take precautions to prevent damaging the NiQor converters by input overvoltage. This is another reason to be careful
about damping the input filter so that no ringing occurs from an
underdamped filter. The voltage must be prevented from exceeding the absolute maximum voltage indicated in the Electrical

Specifications section of the data sheet under all conditions of
turn-on, turn-off and load transients and fault conditions. The
power source should have an over voltage shutdown threshold as
close as reasonably possible to the operating point.
Additional protection can come from additional input capacitance, perhaps on the order of 1,000µF, but contingent on the
source inductance value. A large source inductance would
require more capacitance to keep the input voltage below the
absolute maximum, if the load current were interrupted suddenly.
This can be caused by either a shutdown of the NiQor from a
fault or from the load itself, for example when a card is hotswapped out, suddenly dropping the load to zero. This is further
justification for keeping the source inductance low, as mentioned
above. When the power source is configured with remote sensing, the series resistance of the filter inductor and any other conductors or devices between the source and the sense point will
result in a voltage drop which, in the event of a load current interruption, would add to the NiQor input voltage.
A TVS device could also be used to clamp the voltage level during these conditions, but the relatively narrow range between
operating voltage and the absolute maximum voltage restrict the
use of these devices to lower source current levels that will not
drive the transient voltage suppressor above the voltage limit
when all the source current is flowing into the clamp. A TVS
would be a good supplemental control, in addition to careful
selection of inductance and capacitance values.
Equivalent Model for Input Ripple: A simple but reasonably accurate model of input ripple is to treat the NiQor input as
a pulsed AC current source at 300 kHz.in parallel with a very
low ESR capacitor, see Figure E. The peak-to-peak current of the
source model is equal to the NiQor load current, representing the
peak current in the NiQor's smoothing choke. The capacitor represents the 40µF input ceramic capacitance of the NiQor converter, with a nearly negligible ESR of less than 1 mW. A further
refinement can be made by setting the duty cycle of the pulsed
source to the output voltage divided by the input voltage.
The only error in this simplified model is that it ignores the ripple
current in the choke, usually less than 20% of the load current,
and it ignores the resistive losses inside the NiQor converter,
which would alter the duty cycle very slightly.
The model is a good guide for calculating the effects of external
input capacitors and other filter elements on ripple voltage and
ripple current stress on capacitors.

Layout Suggestion: When using a fixed output NiQor converter, the designer may chose to use the trim function and would
thus be required to reserve board space for a trim resistor. It is
suggested that even if the designer does not plan to use the trim
function, additional space should be reserved on the board for a
trim resistor. This will allow the flexibility to use the wide output
voltage trim range NiQor module at a later date. Any trim resistor should connect to the ground or output node at one of the
respective pins of the NiQor, so as to prevent the trim level from
being affected by load drops through the ground or power
planes.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pin 3 - Optional): The optional
SENSE(+) input corrects for voltage drops along the conductors
that connect the converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 3 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(+) – SENSE(+) < Sense Range % x Vout
Pin 3 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 1, 2 and 4) to determine when it should
trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense lead (pin 3).
