The QLS30 series uses fewer components than any other equivalently rated single board converter. The converters can deliver a maximum of 30 Amps with a typical efficiency of 85%. The QLS provides superior thermal performance, with minimal derating. The QLS30ZB model converter can deliver 22.8 amperes at 1.8 volt output in ambient conditions of 65°C and 200 LFM. This full featured, low profile converter offers input undervoltage lockout, overload, overvoltage and overtemperature protection. Interface features include remote on/off, remote sense and output voltage trim.

Typical Application Figure 7 below shows the recommended connections for the QLS30 series converter. QLS30ZX Fuse +Vi +Vo +Sense C1 On/Off Trim C2 C3 -Sense -Vi Data Sheet -Vo When the ON/OFF pin is used to achieve remote control, the user must take care to insure that the pin reference for the control is really the -Vin pin. The control signal must not be referenced ahead of EMI filtering, or remotely from the unit. Optically coupling the information and locating the optical coupler directly at the module will solve any of these problems. Note: If the ON/OFF pin is not used, it can be left floating (positive logic), or connected to the -Vin pin (negative logic). Fig.7 Typical application of QLS30 series Output Voltage Trim The QLS30 series converters do not require any external components for proper operation. However, if the distribution of the input voltage to the converter contains significant inductance, the capacitor C1 may be required to enhance performance of the converter. A minimum of a 33μF electrolytic capacitor with the ESR<0.7Ω is recommended for the QLS30 series. The trim feature allows the user to adjust the output voltage from the nominal. This can be used to accommodate a different requirement or to do production margin testing. There are two variances available in the QLS30 series. Refer to the “Inrush Current Control Application Note” on www.power-one.com for suggestions on how to limit the magnitude of the inrush current. Negative Trim (No suffix) The QLS30 negative trim units trim up with a resistor from the TRIM pin to the –Sense pin and trim down with a resistor from the TRIM pin to the +Sense pin, as shown in Fig.8. The negative trim schematic is shown in Figure 8. For output decoupling we recommend to use a 10μF tantalum and a 1μF ceramic capacitors connected directly across the output pins of the converter. Note that the capacitors do not substitute the filtering required by the load. Shutdown Feature Description The ON/OFF pin in the QLS30 series converters functions as a normal soft shutdown. It is referenced to the –Vin pin (see Figure 7). With positive logic, when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low, the output is turned off and the unit goes into a very low input power mode. With negative logic, when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low, the unit is turned on. An open collector switch is recommended to control the voltage between the ON/OFF pin and the -Vin pin of the converter. The ON/OFF pin is pulled up internally, so no external voltage source is required. The user should avoid connecting a REV. 10/01 Fig.8 QLS30 series negative trim schematic The general equation (1) for changing the output voltage on the negative trim modules is invariant, but the constants in the equation change due to different internal values.

Data Sheet 1 100 R DOWN = 5.11 − ,KΩ 2∆V % 2 where ΔV% is the output voltage change expressed in percents of the nominal output voltage, Vout. Notes: 1. When the output voltage is trimmed up, the output power from the converter must not exceed its maximum rating. The power is determined by measuring the output voltage on the output pins, and multiplying it by the output current. 2. In order to avoid creating apparent load regulation degradation, it is important that the trim resistors are connected directly to the remote sense pins, and not to the load or to traces going to the load. 3. The QLS30 series converters will trim down further than the 10% limit. In general, this is permissible. The user must confirm that the results are acceptable in the application.

These converters are provided with Basic insulation between input and output circuits according to all IEC60950 based standards. Nevertheless, if the system using the converter needs to receive safety agency approval, certain rules must be followed in the design of the system. In particular, all of the creepage and clearance requirements of the end-use safety requirements must be observed. These documents include UL60950, CSA60950-00 and EN60950, although other additional requirements may be needed for user’s specific applications. The QLS30 series converters have no internal fuse. An external fuse must be provided to protect the system from catastrophic failure, as illustrated in Figure 7. The fuse with a rating of 4A or less is recommended. The user can select a lower rating fuse based upon the highest inrush transient at the maximum input voltage and the maximum input current of the converter at the minimum input voltage. Both input traces and the Page 6 of 8 QLS30 Series – 30A Quarter-Brick DC/DC Converter 48V Input 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V Output • • • If the voltage source feeding the module is SELV or TNV-2, the output of the converter may be grounded or ungrounded. If the voltage source feeding the module is ELV, the output of the converter may be considered SELV only if the output is grounded per the requirements of the standard. If the voltage source feeding the module is a Hazardous Voltage Secondary Circuit, the voltage source feeding the module must be provided with at least Basic insulation between the source to the converter and any hazardous voltages. The entire system, including the QLS30 converter, must pass a dielectric withstand test for reinforced insulation. Design of this type of systems requires expert engineering and understanding of the overall safety requirements and should be performed by qualified personnel. 35 30 Output Current (A) In order for the output of the QLS30 series converter to be considered as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or TNV-1, according to all IEC60950 based standards, one of the following requirements must be met in the system design: 11, the QLS30ZA operating at 55°C can deliver up to 25A reliably with 100LFM forced air, while up to 29A reliably with 200LFM forced air. 25 20 0 100LFM 200LFM 300LFM 400LFM 15 10 5 0 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 Ambient Temperature (C) Fig.10 QLS30ZB (1.8V) derating curves 35 30 25 Output Current (A) chassis ground trace (if applicable) must be capable of conducting a current of 1.5 times the value of the fuse without opening.

The maximum allowable output current of the converters is determined by meeting the derating criteria of all electronic components used in the power supplies. An example of the derating criteria for the semiconductor junction temperature is not to exceed 120°C to provide reliable long-term operation of the converters. Please contact Power-One for more derating criteria for other components. The graphs in Figures 10-12 show the maximum output current of the QLS30 series converters at different ambient temperatures under both natural and forced (longitudinal airflow direction, from pin 1 to pin 3) convection.
