DC-DC Converter
The PQ60018EKx25 PowerQor® 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 15).
Operational Features
• High efficiency, 84% at full load
• Delivers up to 25A of output current with minimal derating -
no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V–75V, with 100V, 100ms input
voltage transient capability
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI performance
• No minimum load requirement means no preload resistors required
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard eighth-brick pin-out configuration
• Industry standard size: 0.90”x2.3” (22.9x58.4mm)
• Total height only 0.340” (8.64mm), permits better airflow and
smaller card pitch
• Total weight: 0.85oz. (24 grams)
• Flanged pins designed to permit surface mount soldering
(avoid wave solder) using FPiP technique

Module
Control Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and negative logic
options are available)
• Remote sense for the output voltage compensates for output
distribution drops
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and voltage margining
Safety Features
• 2000V, 30MΩ input-to-output isolation provides input/output
ground separation
• UL 60950-1 recognized (US & Canada),basic insulation rating
• TUV certified to EN60950-1
• Board and plastic components meet UL94V-0 flammability requirements
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low input
voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection protects converter
and load from permanent damage and consequent
hazardous conditions
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter
from external load induced pre-bias
• Output over-voltage protection protects load from
damaging voltages
• Thermal shutdown protects converter from abnormal
environmental conditions
