Description
The QC/QW030-Series Power Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage range of
18 Vdc to 36 Vdc or 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 of 30 W at a typical full-load efficiency of up to 86%.
These encapsulated modules offer a metal case for optimum 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 5 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.

Design Considerations (continued)
Input Source Impedance
■
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.
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. If the input source inductance exceeds 4 µH, a
33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 Ω at 100 kHz)
mounted close to the power module helps ensure stability of the unit.
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.
Safety Considerations
The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
QC Modules
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., UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE 0805
(EN60950, IEC950).
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
Feature Descriptions
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlimited duration. 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 current-limit circuit can exhibit either foldback or
tailout characteristics (output-current decrease or
increase). The unit operates normally once the output
current is brought back into its specified range.
Remote On/Off
QW Modules
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:
■
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any hazardous voltages, including the
ac mains.
■
One VI pin and one VO pin are to be grounded, or
both the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
The input pins of the module are not operator accessible.
Lucent Technologies Inc.
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
remote on/off turns the module on during a logic-high
voltage on the remote ON/OFF pin, and off during a
logic low. Negative logic remote on/off, device code suffix “1,” turns the module off during logic-high voltage
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 may be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 4). A logic low is Von/off = –0.7 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.

following:
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VI(–).

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.

Remote Sense
Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment
(Trim)
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, e.g., on the QW030A:
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.
[VO(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] ≤ 0.5 V
If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open.
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 5.
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 your Lucent Technologies Account Manager or Application Engineer if you
need to increase the output voltage more than the
above limitation.
8
With an external resistor between the TRIM and
SENSE(+) pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point
(VO, adj) decreases (see Figure 6). The following equation determines the required external-resistor value to
obtain a change in output voltage from VO, nom to VO, adj.
The values of G, H, and L are shown in Table 5.
R adj-down
( V O, adj – L ) G
= --------------------------------------- – H Ω
( V O, nom – V O, adj )
The QC/QW030 modules have a fixed current-limit set
point. As the output voltage is adjusted down, the available output power is reduced.
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and SENSE(–) pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set
point (VO, adj) increases (see Figure 7).

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.

Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control
circuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop,
that monitors the voltage on the output terminals. This
control loop has a higher voltage set point than the
primary loop (see the Feature Specifications table). In
a fault condition, the overvoltage clamp ensures that
the output voltage does not exceed VO, clamp, max. This
provides a redundant voltage-control that reduces the
risk of output overvoltage.
Overtemperature Protection
These modules feature overtemperature protection to
safeguard the modules against thermal damage.
When the temperature exceeds the overtemperature
threshold given in the feature specifications table, the
module will limit the available output current in order to
help protect against thermal damage. The overcurrent
inception point will gradually move back to its original
level as the module is cooled below the overtemperature threshold.

Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Input Undervoltage Lockout
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figures 9 and 10 show 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 3 m/s (600 ft./min.).
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout
limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will
begin to operate at an input voltage between the undervoltage lockout limit and the minimum operating input
voltage.
Thermal Considerations
Introduction
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. The case temperature
should be measured at the position indicated in
Figure 8.

What is the minimum airflow necessary for a QW030A
operating at VI = 48 V, an output current of 3.5 A, and a
maximum ambient temperature of 89 °C?

Measurement Location
The temperature at this location should not exceed
105 °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 105 °C, you can limit this temperature to a
lower value for extremely high reliability.

Systems in which these power modules may be used
typically generate natural convection airflow rates of
0.3 ms–1 (60 ft./min.) due to other heat-dissipating
components in the system. Therefore, the natural convection condition represents airflow rates of up to
0.3 ms–1 (60 ft./min.). Use of Figure 9 is shown in the

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 the case-toambient thermal resistance curves had a thermal-conductive dry pad between the case and the heat sink to
minimize contact resistance.

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 15.

Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks
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. 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):
(TC – TA)

Figure 15. QC/QW030-Series 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)
PD
θ sa = ------------------------- – θ cs
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.
Layout Considerations
PD
The location to measure case temperature (TC) is
shown in Figure 8. Consult your Lucent Technologies
Account Manager or Application Engineer for case-toambient thermal resistance vs. airflow for various heat
sink configurations, heights, and orientations. Longitudinal orientation is defined as the long axis of the module that is parallel to the airflow direction, whereas in
the transverse orientation, the long axis is perpendicular to the airflow. These curves are obtained by experimental testing of heat sinks, which are offered in the
product catalog.
