Description
The QW050A1 and QW075A1 Power Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage range of
36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide a precisely regulated dc output. The outputs are fully isolated from the inputs,
allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules have maximum power ratings from 50 W to 75 W at a typical full-load efficiency of 84%.
The sealed modules offer a metal baseplate for excellent thermal performance. Threaded-through holes are provided to allow easy mounting or addition of a heat sink for high-temperature applications. The standard feature set
includes remote sensing, output trim, and remote on/off for convenient flexibility in distributed power applications.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 3 A (see Safety Considerations section).
Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same
type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further information.

Solder, Cleaning, and Drying Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical testing. The result of inadequate circuit-board cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability of a power module and the testability of the
finished circuit-board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning, and drying procedures, refer to
Lucent Technologies Board-Mounted Power Modules Soldering and Cleaning Application Note (AP97-021EPS).

SCOPE
V O (–)
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the power module. For the test configuration in Figure 13, a 33 µF
electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 Ω at 100 kHz)
mounted close to the power module helps ensure stability of the unit. For other highly inductive source
impedances, consult the factory for further application
guidelines.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE 0805
(EN60950, IEC950).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75 Vdc), for the module’s output to be considered meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
8-513 (C).d
Note: Use a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF aluminum or tantalum capacitor. Scope measurement should be made using a
BNC socket. Position the load between 51 mm and 76 mm
(2 in. and 3 in.) from the module.

■
The input pins of the module are not operator accessible.
■
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system, as required by the safety agencies, on
the combination of supply source and the subject
module to verify that under a single fault, hazardous
voltages do not appear at the module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output pins.
This may allow a non-SELV voltage to appear
between the output pin and ground.

Overcurrent Protection
Ion/off
+
ON/OFF
Von/off
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry and can endure current limiting for up to one
second. If overcurrent exists for more than one second,
the unit will shut down.
At the point of current-limit inception, the unit shifts
from voltage control to current control. If the output voltage is pulled very low during a severe fault, the currentlimit circuit can exhibit either foldback or tailout characteristics (output current decrease or increase).
The module is available in two overcurrent configurations. In one configuration, when the unit shuts down it
will latch off. The overcurrent latch is reset by either
cycling the input power or by toggling the ON/OFF pin
for one second. In the other configuration, the unit will
try to restart after shutdown. If the output overload condition still exists when the unit restarts, it will shut down
again. This operation will continue indefinitely until the
overcurrent condition is corrected.
Remote On/Off
Negative logic remote on/off turns the module off during a logic high and on during a logic low. To turn the
power module on and off, the user must supply a switch
to control the voltage between the on/off terminal and
the VI(–) terminal (Von/off). The switch can be an open
collector or equivalent (see Figure 16). A logic low is
Von/off = 0 V to 1.2 V. The maximum Ion/off during a logic
low is 1 mA. The switch should maintain a logic-low
voltage while sinking 1 mA.
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by
the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 15 V is 50 µA.
If not using the remote on/off feature, short the ON/OFF
pin to VI(–).

Figure 16. Remote On/Off Implementation
Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections. The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output terminals must not exceed the output voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifications table, i.e.:
[VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] ≤ 0.5 V
The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals
must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage protection value shown in the Feature Specifications table.
This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote-sense compensation and output voltage setpoint adjustment (trim). See Figure 17.
If not using the remote-sense feature to regulate the
output at the point of load, then connect SENSE(+) to
VO(+) and SENSE(–) to VO(–) at the module.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the
remote sense or the trim. Consult the factory if you
need to increase the output voltage more than the
above limitation.
The amount of power delivered by the module is
defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied
by the output current. When using remote sense and
trim, the output voltage of the module can be
increased, which at the same output current would
increase the power output of the module. Care should
be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of
the module remains at or below the maximum rated
power.

The amount of power delivered by the module is
defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied
by the output current. When using remote sense and
trim, the output voltage of the module can be
increased, which at the same output current would
increase the power output of the module. Care should
be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of

VI(+)
Output voltage trim allows the user to increase or
decrease the output voltage set point of a module. This
is accomplished by connecting an external resistor
between the TRIM pin and either the SENSE(+) or
SENSE(–) pins. The trim resistor should be positioned
close to the module.

The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are thermally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduction, convection, and radiation to the surrounding
environment. Proper cooling can be verified by measuring the case temperature. Peak temperature (TC)
occurs at the position indicated in Figure 22.

Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage protection consists of circuitry
that monitors the voltage on the output terminals. If the
voltage on the output terminals exceeds the overvoltage protection threshold, then the module will shut
down and latch off. The overvoltage latch is reset by
either cycling the input power for 1.0 second or by toggling the on/off signal for 1.0 second.

Location
The temperature at this location should not exceed
100 °C. The output power of the module should not
exceed the rated power for the module as listed in the
Ordering Information table.
Although the maximum case temperature of the power
modules is 100 °C, you can limit this temperature to a
lower value for extremely high reliability.

QW050A1 and QW075A1 Power Modules:
dc-dc Converters; 36 to 75 Vdc Input, 5 Vdc Output; 50 W and 75 W
Thermal Considerations (continued)
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figure 25 shows the maximum
power that can be dissipated by the module without
exceeding the maximum case temperature versus local
ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection
through 4 m/s (800 ft./min.).
Note that the natural convection condition was measured at 0.05 m/s to 0.1 m/s (10 ft./min. to 20 ft./min.);
however, systems in which these power modules may
be used typically generate natural convection airflow
rates of 0.3 m/s (60 ft./min.) due to other heat dissipating components in the system. The use of Figure 25 is
shown in the following example.

The power modules have through-threaded, M3 x 0.5
mounting holes, which enable heat sinks or cold plates
to attach to the module. The mounting torque must not
exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in.-lb.). For a screw attachment
from the pin side, the recommended hole size on the
customer’s PWB around the mounting holes is 0.130
± 0.005 inches. If a larger hole is used, the mounting
torque from the pin side must not exceed 0.25 N-m
(2.2 in.-lbs.).
Thermal derating with heat sinks is expressed by using
the overall thermal resistance of the module. Total module thermal resistance (θca) is defined as the maximum
case temperature rise (∆TC, max) divided by the module
power dissipation (PD):

These measured resistances are from heat transfer
from the sides and bottom of the module as well as the
top side with the attached heat sink; therefore, the
case-to-ambient thermal resistances shown are generally lower than the resistance of the heat sink by itself.
The module used to collect the data in Figures 26 and
27 had a thermal-conductive dry pad between the case
and the heat sink to minimize contact resistance. The
use of Figures 26 and 27 are shown in the following
example.

Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks (continued)
A more detailed model can be used to determine the
required thermal resistance of a heat sink to provide
necessary cooling. The total module resistance can be
separated into a resistance from case-to-sink (θcs) and
sink-to-ambient (θsa) as shown in Figure 32.
Example
If an 85 °C case temperature is desired, what is the
minimum airflow necessary? Assume the QW075A1
module is operating at VI = 54 V and an output current
of 15 A, maximum ambient air temperature of 40 °C,
and the heat sink is 1/2 inch. The module is oriented in
the transverse direction.

8-1304 (C)
Given: VI = 54 V
IO = 15 A
TA = 40 °C
TC = 85 °C
Heat sink = 1/2 inch
Determine PD by using Figure 24:
PD = 16 W
Then solve the following equation:
(TC – TA)
θ ca = ----------------------PD
85 – 40 )
θ ca = (----------------------16
θ ca = 2.8 °C/W
Use Figure 26 to determine air velocity for the 1/2 inch
heat sink.
The minimum airflow necessary for the QW075A1
module is 1.2 m/s (240 ft./min.).
Note: Pending improvement will lower the power dissipation and reduce the airflow needed.
Figure 32. Resistance from Case-to-Sink and
Sink-to-Ambient
For a managed interface using thermal grease or foils,
a value of θcs = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical. The
solution for heat sink resistance is:
(TC – TA)
θsa = ------------------------ – θcs
PD
This equation assumes that all dissipated power must
be shed by the heat sink. Depending on the userdefined application environment, a more accurate
model, including heat transfer from the sides and bottom of the module, can be used. This equation provides
a conservative estimate for such instances.
EMC Considerations
For assistance with designing for EMC compliance,
please refer to the FLTR100V10 data sheet
(DS99-294EPS).
Layout Considerations
Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power
module mounting inserts. For additional layout guidelines, refer to the FLTR100V10 data sheet
(DS99-294EPS).
