BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
The single stage power converter switches at a fixed frequency
for predictable EMI performance. Rectification of the trans-
former’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 prima-
ry 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 pot-
ting 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 con-
figuration.
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 inter-
nal ON/OFF circuitry.
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 7 and 5): The SENSE(+) inputs cor-
rect for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the con-
verter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 7 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 5 should be con-
nected 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 out-
put 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 trig-
ger, 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.
