3. High or low state of input voltage must persist for about 200µs to be acted on by the lockout or shutdown circuitry.
4. Current limit inception is defined as the point where the output voltage has dropped to 90% of its nominal value.
5. Parameter not tested but guaranteed to the limit specified.
6. Load current transition time ≥ 10 µs.
7. Line voltage transition time ≥ 100 µs.
8. Input voltage rise time ≤ 250 µs.
9. Operating the converter at a synchronization frequency above the free running frequency will slightly reduce the converter’s efficiency and
may also cause a slight reduction in the maximum output current/power available. For more information consult the factory.
10. After a disable or fault event, module is inhibited from restarting for 180 ms. See Shut Down section.
11. The module will attempt to start into an overload for 20ms before shutting down and waiting to Auto Retry.

Technical Specification
CONTROL FEATURES
The MQHL DC/DC converter uses a two-stage power
conversion topology. 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.
ENABLE: The MQFL converter has one enable pin, ENA1
(pin 4), which is referenced with respect to the converter’s
input return (pin 2). It must have a logic high level for the
converter to be enabled; a logic low inhibits the converter.

bl va

n
BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
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 freerunning 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 MQHL 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 MQHL converters employ a “backdrive current limit” to keep this negative output terminal
current small.
There is a control circuit in the MQHL converter that
determines the conduction state of the power switches.
It communicates across the isolation barrier through a
magnetically coupled device. No opto-isolators are used.
An input under-voltage lockout feature with hysteresis is
provided, as well as an input over-voltage shutdown and an
output over-voltage limit. There is also an output current
limit that is nearly constant as the load impedance decreases
(i.e., there is not fold-back 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. If a load fault pulls the
output voltage below about 60% of nominal, the converter
will shut down to attempt to clear the load fault. After a
short delay it will try to auto-restart.
The MQHL converter’s control circuit does not implement an
over-temperature shutdown.
The following sections describe the use and operation of
additional control features provided by the MQHL converter.

The enable pin is internally pulled high so that an open
connection will enable the converter. Figure A shows the

SHUT DOWN: The MQHL converter will shut down in
response to only five conditions: ENA input low, VIN input
below under-voltage lockout threshold, VIN input above
over-voltage shutdown threshold, output voltage below the
output under-voltage threshold, and output voltage above
the output over-voltage threshold. Following any shutdown
event, there is a startup inhibit delay which will prevent the
converter from restarting for approximately 100ms. After
the 100ms 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 on Page
2. 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.

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.

IN pin and Figure C shows the equivalent circuit looking into
the SYNC OUT pin.
SYNCHRONIZATION: The MQHL converter’s switching
frequency can be synchronized to an external frequency

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 MQHL 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, or the SYNC IN frequency
is outside the 500-700 kHz range, the MQHL converter will
revert to its free-running frequency.
The MQHL 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 MQHL converters. The pulse train coming out
of SYNC OUT has a duty cycle of 50% and a frequency that
matches the switching frequency of the converter with which
it is associated. This frequency is either the free-running
frequency if there is no valid synchronization signal at the
SYNC IN pin, or the synchronization frequency if there is.
The synchronization feature is entirely compatible with that
of SynQor’s MQFL family of converters.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM: the TRIM pin (pin 11) can
adjust the MQHL converter’s output voltage ±10% around
its nominal value.
To trim the output voltage above its nominal value, connect
an external resistor from the TRIM pin to the –SENSE pin
as shown in Figure D. The value of this trim up resistor
should be chosen according to the following equation or
from Figure E:
Rtrim up(Ω) =
6000Ω *Vnom
Vout – Vnom
- 30000Ω
where:
Vnom = the converter’s nominal output voltage,
Vout = the desired output voltage (greater than
Vnom), and
Rtrim up 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.
To trim the output voltage below its nominal value, connect
an external resistor between the TRIM pin and the +SENSE
pin. The value of this trim down resistor should be chosen
according to the following equation or from Figure E:
Rtrim down(Ω ) =

sense drops; excessive trim-up or output wiring drops may
cause an output over-voltage shutdown event. After a
startup inhibit delay, the converter will attempt to restart.

OUTPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MQHL
converter will also shut down if the voltage at its power
output pins ever dips below 60% of the nominal value for
more than a few milliseconds. Output voltage reduction
due to output current overload (current limit) is the most
common trigger for this shutdown. The shutdown threshold
does not change with output trim but at only 10%, trimdown should not trigger this event. After a startup inhibit
delay, the converter will attempt to restart. This shutdown
is disabled during startup.

INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT: The MQHL
converter has an under-voltage lockout feature that ensures
the converter will be off if the input voltage is too low. The
input voltage turn-on threshold is higher than the turn-off
threshold. In addition, the MQHL 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 MQHL
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.
OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN: The MQHL
converter will shut down if the voltage at its power output
pins ever exceeds about 130% of the nominal value. The
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.
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 MQHL converters limit the negative current
that the converter can draw from its output terminals. The
threshold for this back-drive 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.

Output: 12 V
Current: 4 A
Technical Specification
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.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Figure 5 shows the
suggested Power Derating Curves for this converter as a
function of the case temperature and the maximum desired
power MOSFET junction temperature. All other components
within the converter are cooler than its hottest MOSFET,
which at full power is no more than 20ºC higher than the
case temperature directly below this MOSFET.
The Mil-HDBK-1547A component derating guideline calls for
a maximum component temperature of 105ºC. Figure 5
therefore has one power derating curve that ensures
this limit is maintained. 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 5. The
maximum case temperature at which the converter should
be operated is 135ºC.

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.

Construction Process
* Per IPC-A-610 (Rev. D) Class 3
MilQor converters and filters are offered in four variations of construction technique and environmental stress screening options. The
three highest grades, C, ES, and HB, all use SynQor’s proprietary QorSeal™ Hi-Rel assembly process that includes a Parylene-C coating
of the circuit, a high performance thermal compound filler, and a nickel barrier gold plated aluminum case. Each successively higher
grade has more stringent mechanical and electrical testing, as well as a longer burn-in cycle. The ES- and HB-Grades are also constructed of components that have been procured through an element evaluation process that pre-qualifies each new batch of devices.
