Description
The QPW-series dc-dc converters are a new generation of DC/DC power modules designed for maximum efficiency and power
density. The QPW series provide up to 60A output current in an industry standard quarter brick. The converter incorporates
synchronous rectification technology and innovative packaging techniques to achieve ultra high efficiency reaching 93% at
3.3V full load. The ultra high efficiency of this converter leads to lower power dissipation such that for most applications a
heat sink is not required. The QPW series power modules are isolated dc-dc converters that operate over a wide input voltage
range of 36 to 75 Vdc and provide single precisely regulated output. The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing
versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress
ratings only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the
operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect the
device reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone 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 fast-acting fuse
with a maximum rating of 15A (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 sheet for further information.
