The first, or regulation, stage is a buck-converter that keeps the output voltage constant over variations in line, load, and temperature. The second, or isolation, stage uses transformers to provide the functions of input/output isolation and voltage transformation to achieve the output voltage required. The MQFL converter’s control circuit does not implement an output over-voltage limit or an over-temperature shutdown. In the MQFL-28VE series of converters the regulation stage is preceeded by a boost-converter that permits these converters to operate through various Military and Aircraft under-voltage transients. Further discussion of this feature can be found later in these notes. Both the regulation and the isolation stages switch at a fixed frequency for predictable EMI performance. The isolation stage switches at one half the frequency of the regulation stage, but due to the push-pull nature of this stage it creates a ripple at double its switching frequency. As a result, both the input and the output of the converter have a fundamental ripple frequency of about 550 kHz in the free-running mode. Rectification of the isolation stage’s output is accomplished with synchronous rectifiers. These devices, which are MOSFETs with a very low resistance, dissipate far less energy than would Schottky diodes. This is the primary reason why the MQFL converters have such high efficiency, particularly at low output voltages. Besides improving efficiency, the synchronous rectifiers permit operation down to zero load current. There is no longer a need for a minimum load, as is typical for converters that use diodes for rectification. The synchronous rectifiers actually permit a negative load current to flow back into the converter’s output terminals if the load is a source of short or long term energy. The MQFL converters employ a “back-drive current limit” to keep this negative output terminal current small. There is a control circuit on both the input and output sides of the MQFL converter that determines the conduction state of the power switches. These circuits communicate with each other across the isolation barrier through a magnetically coupled device. No optoisolators are used. A separate bias supply provides power to both the input and output control circuits. Among other things, this bias supply permits the converter to operate indefinitely into a short circuit and to avoid a hiccup mode, even under a tough start-up condition. An input under-voltage lockout feature with hysteresis is provided, as well as an input over-voltage shutdown. There is also an output current limit that is nearly constant as the load impedance decreases to a short circuit (i.e., there is not foldback or fold-forward characteristic to the output current under this condition). When a load fault is removed, the output voltage rises exponentially to its nominal value without an overshoot. Product # MQFL-28VE-1R8S Phone 1-888-567-9596 UNDER-VOLTAGE TRANSIENTS The MQFL-28VE series of DC/DC converters incorporate a special “boost-converter” stage that permits the converters to deliver full power through transients where its input voltage falls to as low as 5.5V. Normally, the boost-converter is non-operational, and the converter’s input voltage is passed directly to its pre-regulation stage (see the Block Diagram). When an under-voltage transient occurs, the boost-converter becomes operational, and it steps-up the input voltage to a value greater than 16V so that the nominal output voltage can be sustained. It is important to note that the boost-converter stage must first become “armed” before it can become operational. This “arming” occurs when the converter’s input voltage exceeds approximately 18V. The boost-converter then becomes operational whenever the input voltage drops below the arming voltage, and it will remain operational as long as the input voltage remains within the region shown in the Under-Voltage Transient Profile Page. If the input voltage drops below this transient profile, the boostconverter stage is not guaranteed to continue operating (it may, but it will protect itself from excessive stresses). Once the boostconverter stops operating, the converter’s input voltage will be reconnected directly to the input of the pre-regulator stage. The output voltage will therefore collapse unless the input voltage is 16V, or greater. Note: the boost-converter will not become re-armed for the next transient unless the input voltage once again exceeds approximately 18V. The transient profile shown on the Under-Voltage Transient Profile page is designed to comply (with appropriate margins) with all initial-engagement surges, starting or cranking voltage transients, and under-voltage surges specified in: • • • • MIL-STD-704-8 (A through F) RTCA/DO-160E MIL-STD-1275B DEF-STAN 61-5 (Part 6)/5 (operational portions) Any input voltage transient that fits within the Under-Voltage Transient Profile can be repeated after a delay that is at least four times longer than the duration of the previous transient. During the time when the boost-converter stage is operational, the converter’s efficiency is reduced and the input ripple current is increased. The lower the input voltage, the more these parameters are affected. www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005206 Rev. 1 04/22/09 Page 10 Technical Specification Usually the converter has an EMI filter upstream of it, and the source voltage is connected to the input of this EMI filter. When, during compliance testing, the source voltage goes low during an under-voltage transient, the input to the converter will go even lower. This is because the inductance of the EMI filter (as well as the parasitic source inductance) will cause an oscillatory ring with the bulk capacitor. With the bulk capacitor that is present in an MQME-28 filter, the peak of this under-voltage ring may be approximately 2 volts if the source voltage drops to 6V (it will be smaller than this at a higher transient source voltage due to the lower current drawn by the converter). As a result, it is necessary to add extra bulk capacitor across the converter’s input pins if the source voltage is going to drop to 6V, as it does for MIL-STD-704(A) or MIL-STD 1275B. It is recommended that a 100µF/0.25W ESR capacitor be connected across the input pins of the converter be used as a starting point. For MIL-STD-704(B-F), where the source voltage drops to only 7V, a 47µF hold-up capacitor would be a good starting point. The exact amount of capacitance required depends on the application (source inductance, load power, rate of fall of the source voltage, etc). Please consult the factory if further assistance is required. when the converter is inhibited through the ENA1 pin, the bias supply is also turned off, whereas this supply remains on when the converter is inhibited through the ENA2 pin. A higher input standby current therefore results in the latter case. a pu d bl va ic n at ce io d n n MQFL-28VE-1R8S Output: 1.8V Current: 40A Because input system stability is harder to maintain as the input voltage gets lower, the MQFL-28VE series converters are designed to give external access to the voltage node between the boost-converter and the pre-regulator stages. This access, at the “STABILITY” pin (pin 3), permits the user to add a stabilizing bulk capacitor with series resistance to this node. Since the voltage at this node stays above 16V, the amount of capacitance required is much less than would be required on the converter’s input pins where the voltage might drop as low as 5.5V. It is recommended that a 22µF capacitor with an ESR of about 1W be connected between the STABILITY pin and the INPUT RETURN pin (pin 2). Without this special connection to the internal node of the converter, a 300µF stabilizing bulk capacitor would have been required across the converter’s input pins. Another advantage of the STABILITY pin is that it provides a voltage source that stays above 16V when the under-voltage transient occurs. This voltage source might be useful for other circuitry in the system. CONTROL FEATURES ENABLE: The MQFL converter has two enable pins. Both must have a logic high level for the converter to be enabled. A logic low on either pin will inhibit the converter. The ENA1 pin (pin 4) is referenced with respect to the converter’s input return (pin 2). The ENA2 pin (pin 12) is referenced with respect to the converter’s output return (pin 8). This permits the converter to be inhibited from either the input or the output side. Regardless of which pin is used to inhibit the converter, the regulation and the isolation stages are turned off.

Figure A shows the equivalent circuit looking into either enable pins. It is TTL compatible. 5.6V PIN 4 (or PIN 12) 1N4148 82K ENABLE TO ENABLE CIRCUITRY 250K 2N3904 125K PIN 2 (or PIN 8) IN RTN Figure A: Equivalent circuit looking into either the ENA1 or ENA2 pins with respect to its corresponding return pin. SHUT DOWN: The MQFL converter will shut down in response to only four conditions: ENA1 input low, ENA2 input low, VIN input below under-voltage lockout threshold, or VIN input above over-voltage shutdown threshold. Following a shutdown event, there is a startup inhibit delay which will prevent the converter from restarting for approximately 300ms. After the 300ms delay elapses, if the enable inputs are high and the input voltage is within the operating range, the converter will restart. If the VIN input is brought down to nearly 0V and back into the operating range, there is no startup inhibit, and the output voltage will rise according to the “Turn-On Delay, Rising Vin” specification. REMOTE SENSE: The purpose of the remote sense pins is to correct for the voltage drop along the conductors that connect the converter’s output to the load. To achieve this goal, a separate conductor should be used to connect the +SENSE pin (pin 10) directly to the positive terminal of the load, as shown in the connection diagram. Similarly, the –SENSE pin (pin 9) should be connected through a separate conductor to the return terminal of the load. NOTE: Even if remote sensing of the load voltage is not desired, the +SENSE and the -SENSE pins must be connected to +Vout (pin 7) and OUTPUT RETURN (pin 8), respectively, to get proper regulation of the converter’s output. If they are left open, the converter will have an output voltage that is approximately 200mV higher than its specified value. If only the +SENSE pin is left open, the output voltage will be approximately 25mV too high. www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005206 Rev. 1 04/22/09 Page 11 Technical Specification Inside the converter, +SENSE is connected to +Vout with a resistor value from 100W to 301W, depending on output voltage, and –SENSE is connected to OUTPUT RETURN with a 10W resistor It is also important to note that when remote sense is used, the voltage across the converter’s output terminals (pins 7 and 8) will be higher than the converter’s nominal output voltage due to resistive drops along the connecting wires. This higher voltage at the terminals produces a greater voltage stress on the converter’s internal components and may cause the converter to fail to deliver the desired output voltage at the low end of the input voltage range at the higher end of the load current and temperature range. Please consult the factory for details. Figure B shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC IN pin. Figure C shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC OUT pin. 5V a pu d bl va ic n at ce io d n n MQFL-28VE-1R8S Output: 1.8V Current: 40A SYNCHRONIZATION: The MQFL converter’s regulation and isolation stage switching frequencies can be synchronized to an external frequency source that is in the 500 kHz to 600 kHz range. The boost-converter stage is free-running at about 670 kHz while it is operational, and is not affected by synchronization signals. A pulse train at the desired frequency should be applied to the SYNC IN pin (pin 6) with respect to the INPUT RETURN (pin 2). This pulse train should have a duty cycle in the 20% to 80% range. Its low value should be below 0.8V to be guaranteed to be interpreted as a logic low, and its high value should be above 2.0V to be guaranteed to be interpreted as a logic high. The transition time between the two states should be less than 300ns. If the MQFL converter is not to be synchronized, the SYNC IN pin should be left open circuit. The converter will then operate in its free-running mode at a frequency of approximately 550 kHz. If, due to a fault, the SYNC IN pin is held in either a logic low or logic high state continuously, the MQFL converter will revert to its free-running frequency. The MQFL converter also has a SYNC OUT pin (pin 5). This output can be used to drive the SYNC IN pins of as many as ten (10) other MQFL converters. The pulse train coming out of SYNC OUT has a duty cycle of 50% and a frequency 1that+VIN matches the switching frequency of the converter with which it is associated. 2 This frequency is either the free-running frequency IN if there RTN is no synchronization signal at the SYNC IN pin, or 3the synchronizaCASE tion frequency if there is. 4 + 28Vdc ENA 1 at the The SYNC OUT signal – is available only when the voltage STABILITY pin (pin 3) is above approximately 512V and when SYNC the converter is not inhibited through the ENA1 pin. An OUT inhibit open 6 through the ENA2 pin willmeans not turn the SYNC OUT signal off. on SYNC IN NOTE: An MQFL converter that has its SYNC IN pin driven by the SYNC OUT pin of a second MQFL converter will have its start of its switching cycle delayed approximately 180 degrees relative to that of the second converter.

CURRENT SHARE: When several MQFL converters are placed in parallel to achieve either a higher total load power or N+1 redundancy, their SHARE pins (pin 11) should be connected together. The voltage on this common SHARE node represents the average current delivered by all of the paralleled converters. Each converter monitors this average value and adjusts itself so that its output current closely matches that of the average. 12 ENAis2monitored with respect to the OUTPUT Since the SHARE pin 11 RETURN (pin 8) by each converter, it is important to connect all of SHARE the converters’ OUTPUT RETURN pins together through a low DC and AC impedance. When10this is done correctly, the converters + SNS will deliver their appropriate fraction of the total Rtrimload current to 9 within +/- 10% at full rated load. – SNS – 8 Whether or notOUT converters are paralleled, the voltage at the RTN Load SHARE pin could be used 7to monitor the approximate average +VOUT current delivered by the converter(s). A nominal voltage of 1.0V + represents zero current and a nominal voltage of 2.2V represents the maximum rated current, with a linear relationship in between. The internal source resistance of a converter’s SHARE pin signal is 2.5 kW. During an input voltage fault or primary disable event, the SHARE pin outputs a power failure warning pulse. The SHARE pin will go to 3V for approximately 14ms as the output voltage falls. www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005206 Rev. 1 04/22/09 Page 12 Technical Specification 100,000 trim Resistance (ohms) NOTE: Converters operating from separate input filters with reverse polarity protection (such as the MQME-28-T filter) with their outputs connected in parallel may exhibit hiccup operation at light loads. Consult factory for details. a pu d bl va ic n at ce io d n n MQFL-28VE-1R8S Output: 1.8V Current: 40A OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: If desired, it is possible to increase the MQFL converter’s output voltage above its nominal value. To do this, use the +SENSE pin (pin 10) for this trim function instead of for its normal remote sense function, as shown in Figure D. In this case, a resistor connects the +SENSE pin to the –SENSE pin (which should still be connected to the output return, either remotely or locally). The value of the trim resistor should be chosen according to the following equation or from Figure E: Rtrim = where: 10,000 1,000 100 0.00 407.5 Vout - Vnom - 0.025 0.03 0.06 0.09 0.12 0.15 0.18 0.21 Increase in Vout (V) Figure E: Output Voltage Trim Graph Vnom = the converter’s nominal output voltage, Vout = the desired output voltage (greater than Vnom), and Rtrim is in Ohms. As the output voltage is trimmed up, it produces a greater voltage stress on the converter’s internal components and may cause the converter to fail to deliver the desired output voltage at the low end of the input voltage range at the higher end of the load current and temperature range. Please consult the factory for details. Factory trimmed converters are available by request. INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT: The MQFL converter has an under-voltage lockout feature that ensures the converter will be off if the input voltage is too low. This lockout only appears when the boost-converter is not operating. The threshold of input voltage at which the converter will turn on is higher that the threshold at which it will turn off. In addition, the MQFL converter will not respond to a state of the input voltage unless it has remained in that state for more than about 200µs. This hysteresis and the delay ensure proper operation when the source impedance is high or in a noisy environment. INPUT OVER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MQFL converter also has an over-voltage feature that ensures the converter will be off if the input voltage is too high. It also has a hysteresis and time delay to ensure proper operation.

It has been SynQor’s extensive experience that reliable long-term converter operation can be achieved with a maximum component temperature of 125ºC. In extreme cases, a maximum temperature of 145ºC is permissible, but not recommended for long-term operation where high reliability is required. Derating curves for these higher temperature limits are also included in Figure. The maximum case temperature at which the converter should be operated is 135ºC. a pu d bl va ic n at ce io d n BACK-DRIVE CURRENT LIMIT: Converters that use MOSFETs as synchronous rectifiers are capable of drawing a negative current from the load if the load is a source of short- or long-term energy. This negative current is referred to as a “back-drive current”. Conditions where back-drive current might occur include paralleled converters that do not employ current sharing, or where the current share feature does not adequately ensure sharing during the startup or shutdown transitions. It can also occur when converters having different output voltages are connected together through either explicit or parasitic diodes that, while normally off, become conductive during startup or shutdown. Finally, some loads, such as motors, can return energy to their power rail. Even a load capacitor is a source of back-drive energy for some period of time during a shutdown transient. To avoid any problems that might arise due to back-drive current, the MQFL converters limit the negative current that the converter can draw from its output terminals. The threshold for this backdrive current limit is placed sufficiently below zero so that the converter may operate properly down to zero load, but its absolute value (see the Electrical Characteristics page) is small compared to the converter’s rated output current. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS: Figure 5 shows the suggested Power Derating Curves for this converter as a function of the case temperature, input voltage and the maximum desired power MOSFET junction temperature. All other components within the converter are cooler than the hottest MOSFET. The Mil-HDBK-1547A component derating guideline calls for a maximum component temperature of 105ºC. Power Derating Curve figure; therefore has one power derating curve that ensures Product # MQFL-28VE-1R8S Phone 1-888-567-9596 When the converter is mounted on a metal plate, the plate will help to make the converter’s case bottom a uniform temperature. How well it does so depends on the thickness of the plate and on the thermal conductance of the interface layer (e.g. thermal grease, thermal pad, etc.) between the case and the plate. Unless this is done very well, it is important not to mistake the plate’s temperature for the maximum case temperature. It is easy for them to be as much as 5-10ºC different at full power and at high temperatures. It is suggested that a thermocouple be attached directly to the converter’s case through a small hole in the plate when investigating how hot the converter is getting. Care must also be made to ensure that there is not a large thermal resistance between the thermocouple and the case due to whatever adhesive might be used to hold the thermocouple in place. 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. www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005206 Rev. 1 04/22/09 Page 14 Technical Specification CONSTRUCTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS SCREENING OPTIONS Consistent with MIL-StD-883F Screening C-Grade (-40 ºC to +100 ºC) ES-Grade (-55 ºC to +125 ºC) (Element Evaluation) HB-Grade (-55 ºC to +125 ºC) (Element Evaluation) a pu d bl va ic n at ce io d n n MQFL-28VE-1R8S Output: 1.8V Current: 40A Internal Visual * Yes Yes Yes temperature Cycle Method 1010 no Condition B (-55 ºC to +125 ºC) Condition C (-65 ºC to +150 ºC) Constant Acceleration Method 2001 (Y1 Direction) no 500g Condition A (5000g) Burn-in Method 1015 Load Cycled • 10s period • 2s @ 100% Load • 8s @ 0% Load 24 Hrs @ +125 ºC 96 Hrs @ +125 ºC 160 Hrs @ +125 ºC Final Electrical test Method 5005 (Group A) +25 ºC -45, +25, +100 ºC -55, +25, +125 ºC Full QorSeal Full QorSeal Full QorSeal * Yes Yes QorSeal QorSeal QorSeal Mechanical Seal, thermal, and Coating Process External Visual 2009 Construction Process * Per IPC-A-610 (Rev.
