DC/DC Converter
The PQ60018ETL45 PowerQor® Tera eighth-brick converter
is a next-generation, 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. All of the power and
control components are mounted to the multi-layer PCB
substrate with high-yield surface mount technology. Since
the PowerQor converter has no explicit thermal interfaces,
it is extremely reliable. RoHS Compliant (see page 14).

Note 1: Output voltage ripple can exceed maximum specification during startup when output voltage is less than 0.7V. Additional output capacitance will mitigate this
startup ripple behavior. For applications requiring reduced output voltage ripple and noise, consult SynQor applications support (e-mail: [email protected])
Note 2: Higher values of isolation capacitance can be added external to the module.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
The single stage power converter switches at a fixed frequency
for predictable EMI performance. Rectification of the transformer’s
output is accomplished with synchronous rectifiers. These devices,
which are MOSFETs with a very low on-state resistance, dissipate
far less energy than Schottky diodes. This is the primary reason
that the PowerQor converter has such high efficiency, even at very
low output voltages and very high output currents.
Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not
require a heatsink for operation. Since a heatsink is not required,
the PowerQor converter does not need a metal baseplate or potting material to help conduct the dissipated energy to the heatsink.
The PowerQor converter can thus be built more simply and reliably
using high yield surface mount techniques on a PCB substrate.
The PowerQor series of eighth-brick, quarter-brick and half-brick
converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out configuration.
CONTROL FEATURES
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 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 A details five possible circuits for
driving the ON/OFF pin. Figure B is a detailed look of the internal
ON/OFF circuitry.
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 7 and 5): The SENSE(+) inputs
correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the
converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 7 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 5 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(+) - Vout(-)] – [Vsense(+) - Vsense(-)] <
Sense Range % x Vout
Pins 7 and 5 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 8 and 4) to determine when it should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense leads (pins 7 and
5). Therefore, the resistive drop on the board should be small
enough so that output OVP does not trigger, even during load
transients.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM (Pin 6): The TRIM input permits the
user to adjust the output voltage across the sense leads up or down
according to the trim range specifications.
To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor
between Pin 6 and Pin 5 (SENSE(-) input). For a desired decrease
of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be

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 TurnOff Voltage Threshold value before the converter will turn off.
Output Current Limit: Once the output current reaches the
current-limit inception point, the converter will decrease the output
voltage as the output current increases. However, once the impedance of the short across the output is small enough to make the
output voltage drop below the specified Output DC Current-Limit
Shutdown Voltage, the converter turns off (see Figure 23).
The converter then enters a “hiccup mode” where it repeatedly
turns on and off at a 5 Hz (nominal) frequency with a 5% duty
cycle until the short circuit condition is removed. This prevents
excessive heating of the converter or the load board.

Figure C: Trim Graph for 1.8Vout module
Note: the TRIM feature does not affect the voltage at which the
output over-voltage protection circuit is triggered. Trimming the
output voltage too high may cause the over-voltage protection
circuit to engage, particularly during transients.
It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the Trim pin.
The node is internally bypassed to eliminate noise.
Output Over-Voltage Limit: If the voltage across the output
pins exceeds the Output Over-Voltage Protection threshold, the
converter will immediately stop switching. This prevents damage
to the load circuit due to 1) excessive series resistance in output
current path from converter output pins to sense point, 2) a release
of a short-circuit condition, or 3) a release of a current limit condition. Load capacitance determines exactly how high the output
voltage will rise in response to these conditions. After 200 ms the
converter will automatically restart.
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.
Total DC Variation of Vout: For the converter to meet its full
specifications, the maximum variation of the DC value of Vout,
due to both trimming and remote load voltage drops, should not
be greater than that specified for the output voltage trim range.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
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.
Application Circuits: Figure D below provides a typical circuit
diagram which details the input filtering and voltage trimming.
Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure E below
provides a diagram showing the internal input filter components.
This filter dramatically reduces input terminal ripple current, which
otherwise could exceed the rating of an external input electrolytic capacitor. The recommended external input capacitance is
specified in the “Input Characteristics” section. More detailed
information is available in the application note titled “EMI
Characteristics” on the SynQor website.
Startup/Restart Inhibit Period: The Restart Inhibit Period
ensures that the converter will remain off for approximately
200ms once it is shut down. When an output short is present, this
generates a 5Hz “hiccup mode,” which prevents the converter
from overheating. In all, there are five ways that the converter can
be shut down that initiate a Restart Inhibit Period:
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
• Output Over-Voltage Protection
• Over Temperature Shutdown
• Current Limit
• Turned off by the ON/OFF input
Figure F shows four turn-on scenarios, where a Restart Inhibit
Period is initiated at t1, t2, and t3:
A Startup Inhibit Period is initiated when the input voltage is
brought up from zero voltage during initial startup, beginning
as the input voltage reaches approximately 10V. At the end of
the Startup Inhibit Period (typically 10mS), if the ON/OFF pin
has been active for at least 1ms, and the input voltage is above
the Under-Voltage Lockout threshold, the output turns on with the
Typical Turn-On Time. This is shown at time t0.

At time t1, the input voltage falls below the Input Under-Voltage
Lockout threshold. This disables the unit and initiates a Restart
Inhibit Period. During the Restart Inhibit Period, if the input
voltage again exceeds the UVLO threshold, the unit cannot be
enabled again until the Restart Inhibit Period has elapsed. Once
this occurs, the output turns on with the Typical Turn-On Time.
At time t2, the ON/OFF pin disables the unit and initiates a
Restart Inhibit Period. During the Restart Inhibit Period, if the ON/
OFF pin is again activated, the unit cannot be enabled again until
the Restart Inhibit Period has elapsed. Once this occurs, the output
turns on with the Typical Turn-On Time.

When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t3, and the Restart Inhibit
Period has elapsed, the output turns on approximately 1.6ms after
the ON/OFF pin is activated, with the Typical Turn-On Time.
If the Under-Voltage Lockout threshold has not been satisfied at
the end of either Inhibit Period, the unit will remain disabled until
the input voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold. Once this occurs,
the output turns on with the Typical Turn-On Time.
If the ON/OFF pin is activated after either Inhibit Period has
elapsed, the output will turn on approximately 1.6ms after the
ON/OFF pin is activated, with the Typical Turn-On Time.
