Q Series
66 - 132 W DC-DC Converters
Description
These extremely compact DC-DC converters incorporate all necessary input and output filters, signaling and protection features,
which are required in the majority of applications. The converters provide important advantages such as flexible output power
through primary current limitation, high efficiency, excellent reliability, very low ripple and RFI noise levels, full input to output
isolation, negligible inrush current, overtemperature protection, and input over-/undervoltage lockout.
The converter inputs are protected against surges and transients occurring on the source lines.
The converters are particularly suitable for rugged environment, such as railway applications. They have been designed in
accordance with the European railway standards EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2. All printed circuit boards are coated with a
protective lacquer.
The outputs are continuously open- and short-circuit proof. An isolated output Power Good signal and LEDs at the front panel
indicate the status of the converter. Test sockets at the front panel allow for a check of the main output voltage.
Full system flexibility and n+1 redundant operating mode are possible due to virtually unrestricted series or parallel connection
capabilities of all outputs. In parallel connection of several converters, automatic current sharing is provided by a single-wire
interconnection.
As a modular power supply or as part of a distributed power supply system, the extremely low-profile design reduces the necessary
power supply volume without sacrificing high reliability. A temperature sensor disables the outputs when the case temperature
exceeds the limit. The outputs are automatically re-enabled, when the temperature drops.
The fully enclosed, black-coated aluminum case acts as a heat sink and an RFI shield. The converters are designed for 19" DINrack systems occupying 3 U/4 TE only, but can also be chassis-mounted by four screws. Fitting an additional heat sink or ordering
options with fitted heat sink is possible as well.

Q Series
66 - 132 W DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The converters are designed as forward converters using primary and secondary control circuits in SMD technology. The switching
frequency is approximately 200 kHz under nominal operating conditions. The built-in high-efficient input filter together with a small
input capacitance generate very low inrush currents of short duration. After transformer isolation and rectification, the output filter
reduces ripple and noise to a minimum without compromising the dynamic ability. The output voltage is fed to the secondary control
circuit via separate sense lines. The resultant error signal is sent to the primary control circuit via a signal transformer.
Double-output models have the voltage regulation of output 2 relying on the close magnetic coupling of the transformer and the output
inductor together with the circuits' symmetry.
The current limitation is located at the primary side, thus limiting the total output current in overload conditions. This allows flexible
loading of each output for unsymmetrical loads in the range 10 to 90% of the total output power. In applications with large dynamic
load changes, we recommend connecting such a load to output 1. If output 2 is not used, it should be connected parallel to output 1.
Both outputs can either be series- or parallel-connected (see Electrical Output Data).
In normal operation, the internal control circuits are powered by a third winding of the main choke (except 48 Q models). Start-up is
ensured from the input voltage by a linear regulator.
Note: When the output voltage is much lower then the nominal value, this linear regulator is activated, generating considerable power losses.

Input Fuse
An incorporated fuse in series to the negative input line protects against severe defects. The fuse is not externally accessible.
Reverse polarity at the input will cause the fuse to blow.
Note: For models with no internal fuse, see opt. F. The customer must provide an appropriate external fuse or circuit breaker.

Input Transient Protection
A metal oxide VDR (Voltage Dependent Resistor) together with the input fuse and a symmetrical input filter form an effective protection
against high input transient voltages, which typically occur in most installations, especially in battery-driven mobile applications.
Nominal battery voltages in use are: 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 110 V. In most cases each nominal value is specified in a tolerance
band of –30% to +25%, with short excursions to ±40% or even more.
In some applications, surges according to RIA 12 are specified in addition to those defined in IEC 60571-1 or EN 50155. The power
supply must not switch off during these surges, and since their energy can practically not be absorbed, an extremely wide input
voltage range is required. The Q Series input ranges have been designed and tested to meet most of these requirements. See
also Electromagnetic Immunity.
Input Under-/Overvoltage Lockout
If the input voltage falls outside the limits of Vi, an internally generated inhibit signal disables the output(s).
Inrush Current
The inherent inrush current value is lower than specified in the standard ETS 300132-2. The converters operate with relatively
small input capacitance C i (see table 4), resulting in low inrush current of short duration. As a result, in a power-bus system the
converters can be hot-swapped, causing negligible disturbances.
Input Stability with Long Supply Lines
If a converter is connected to the power source by long supply lines exhibiting a considerable inductance Lext, an additional external
capacitor Cext connected across the input pins improves the stability and prevents oscillations.
Actually, a Q Series converter with its load acts as negative resistor r i, because the input current I i rises, when the input voltage Vi
decreases. It tends to oscillate with a resonant frequency determined by the line inductance L ex t and the input capacitance Ci + Cext,
damped by the resistor R ext. The whole system is not linear at all and eludes a simple calculation. One basic condition is given by
the formula:
Lext • Po max dVi
___
Ci + Cext > _________ ( ri =
)
Rext • Vi min²
dIi
Rext is the series resistor of the voltage source including the supply lines. If this condition is not fulfilled, the converter may not reach
stable operating conditions. Worst case conditions are at lowest Vi and at highest output power Po.
Low inductance L ext of the supply lines and an additional capacitor Cext are helpful. Recommended values for Cext are given in table 4,
which should allow for stable operation up to an input inductance of 2 mH. Ci is specified in table 4.

Parallel and Series Connection
Single- or double-output models with equal output voltage can be connected in parallel without any precaution, by interconnecting
the T-pins for equal current sharing; see fig. 9a.
Double-output models with their outputs connected in parallel behave exactly like single-output models and are fully regulated.
There is no inconvenience or restriction using the R-input with sense lines.
Single-output and/or double-output models can be connected in series. For double-output models with both outputs connected in
series, consider that the effect via sense lines, R-input or option P is doubled. See fig. 9b.
Parallel configuration of double-output models with both outputs connected in series is shown in fig. 9c. It is essential that the
Vo1– pins of all paralleled converters are connected together, as the auxiliary signals are referenced to Vo1– or to S–. The effect
via sense lines, R-input or option P is doubled.

Notes:
• If the second output of double-output models is not used,
connect it in parallel to the main output to maintain good
regulation.
• Parallel connection of several double-output models should
always include main and second outputs to produce good
regulation.
• Series connection of second outputs without involving their
main outputs should be avoided as regulation may be poor.
• The maximum output current is limited by the output with the
lowest current limit, if several outputs are connected in series.
• Rated output voltages above 48 V (ES1 = Energy Source
class 1) need additional measures in order to comply with
international safety requirements.

Redundant Configuration
Fig. 10a shows a circuit with ORing diodes DR in the positive output lines, forming a redundant configuration. For accurate output
voltage regulation, the sense lines are connected after the ORing diodes. The T pins should be connected together to produce
reasonable current sharing between the parallel-connected converters.
If one of the converters fails, the remaining converters can deliver the whole output power.
Note: The current-share logic can only increase the output voltage marginally and remains functional even in the case of a failing converter.
Fig. 10b shows a quite similar circuit with ORing diodes DR, but with different output loads. To compensate for the voltage drop of the
ORing diodes (if necessary), an auxiliary circuit is added to each power supply consisting of a small diode DS and a small resistor RS.
We recommend a current of approximately 10 mA through DS and RS. Only Load 0 benefits from a secured supply voltage.
The current sharing may be improved by interconnecting the T pins of the converters. This circuit is a bit less accurate, but more
flexible and less sensitive.
Caution: Do not connect the sense lines after the ORing diodes, but directly with the respective outputs. If for some reason one of the
converters switches off and the ORing diode is blocking, a reverse voltage can appear between the sense pin and the respective output pin
and damage the converter.

Output Voltage Regulation
The dynamic load regulation is shown in figure 11.
The static load regulation measured at the sense pins is negligible. Correct connection of the sense lines almost eliminates any
load regulation; see Sense Lines.
In a symmetrical configuration the output 1 with open R input is regulated to Vo1 nom, regardless of the output currents. If the load
on output 2 is too small ( Io max) both output voltages are reduced simultaneously.
Current distribution in overload is dependent upon the type of overload. A short-circuit in one output will cause the full current flow
into that output, whereas a resistive overload results in more even distribution and in a reduced output voltage.

Hold-up Time
The Q Series converters provide virtually no hold-up time. If hold-up time or interruption time is required, use external output
capacitors or decoupling diodes together with input capacitors of adequate size.

Thermal Considerations and Protection
If a converter is located upright in quasi-stationary air (convection cooling) at the indicated maximum ambient temperature TA max (see
table Temperature specifications), and is operated at its nominal input voltage and output power, the temperature TC measured at the
Measuring point of case temperature (see Mechanical Data) will approach TC max after the warm-up phase. However, the relationship
between TA and TC depends heavily on the operating conditions and the integration into a system. The thermal conditions are
influenced by input voltage, output current, airflow, and temperature of surrounding components and surfaces. TA max is therefore,
contrary to TC max, an indicative value only.
Caution: The installer must ensure that under all operating conditions TC remains within the limits stated in the table Temperature specifications.
Note: Sufficient forced cooling or an additional heat sink improves the reliability or allows TA to be higher than TA max, as long as TC max is not
exceeded. In rack systems without proper thermal management, the converters must not be packed too densely! In such cases the use of a
5 or 6 TE front panel is recommended.
A temperature sensor generates an internal inhibit signal, which disables the outputs, if the case temperature exceeds TC max. The
outputs are automatically re-enabled when the temperature drops below this limit. This feature is not fitted to 48Q models.
Operating BQ – GQ models with output current beyond Io nom requires a reduction of the ambient temperature TA to 50 °C or forced
cooling. When TC max is exceeded, the converter runs into its thermal protection and switches off; see fig. 17a.
Note: According to EN 50155, Class OT4, the converters BQ – GQ can be operated with Po nom continously at TA = 70 °C, and then for 10 min
at TA = 85 °C without shutdown.
Fig. 17b shows the operation of 48Q models beyond TA = 50 °C with forced cooling.

Auxiliary Functions
Inhibit for Remote On/Off
Note: If this function is not used, the inhibit pin 28 must be connected with pin 32 to enable the output(s). A non-connected pin 28 will be
interpreted by the internal logic as an active inhibit signal and the output(s) will remain disabled (fail safe function).
An inhibit input enables (logic low, pull down) or disables (logic high, pull up) the output, if a logic signal, e.g. TTL, CMOS is
applied. In systems consisting of several converters, this feature may be used, for example, to control the activation sequence of
the converters by means of logic signals, or to allow the power source for a proper start-up, before full load is applied.

Q Series
66 - 132 W DC-DC Converters
Current Sharing
The current sharing facility should be used when several converters are operated in parallel or redundant connection. This feature
avoids that some converters are driven into current limitation and thus produce excessive losses. As a result, the stress of the
converters is reduced, and the system reliability is further improved.
Simple interconnection of the T pins causes the converters to share the output current. The current tolerance of each converter is
approx. ±20% of the sum of its nominal output currents Io1 nom + Io2 nom.
In n+1 redundant systems, a failure of a single converter will not lead to a system failure, if the outputs are decoupled by diodes;
see fig. 10.
Note: T-function only increases the output voltage, until the currents are evenly shared. If in a redundant system, one converter fails, the
remaining converters keep sharing their currents evenly.
Since the T pins are referenced to the pins S –, the S– pins of all converters must have the same electrical potential.
Double-output converters with both outputs connected in series can also be paralleled with current sharing, if pins Vo1– of all
converters are connected together, see fig. 9c.
If the output voltages are programmed to a voltage other than Vo nom by means of the R pin or option P, the outputs should be
adjusted individually within a tolerance of ±1%.
Important: For applications using the hot-swap capabilities, dynamic output voltage changes during plug-in/plug-out must be considered.
Programmable Output Voltage (R-Function)
This feature is not available on models with 3.3 V output or with option P.
Note: Models with 3.3 V output or with option P: The R-input must be left open-circuit.
The converters offer a programmable output voltage. The adjust is performed either by an external control voltage Vext or an
external resistor R1 or R2, connected to the R-input. Trimming is limited to the values given in the table below (see also Electrical
Output Data). With open R-input, the output voltage is set to Vo nom.
With double-output models, both outputs are affected by the R-input settings.
If output voltages are set higher than Vo nom, the output currents should be reduced accordingly, so that the maximum specified
output power is not exceeded.
a) Adjustment by means of an external control voltage Vext between R (pin 16) and S– (pin 14); see fig. 20.

Caution: To prevent damage, Vext should not exceed 20 V, nor be negative.
b) Adjustment by means of an external resistor:
The resistor can either be connected:
• between R (pin 16) and S – (pin 14) to set Vo < Vo nom, or
• between R (pin 16) and S+ (pin 12) to set Vo > Vo nom.

Safety of Operator-Accessible Output Circuits
If the output circuit of a DC-DC converter is operator-accessible, it shall be an ES1 circuit according to IEC 62368-1.
Table 20 shows some possible installation configurations, compliance with which causes the output circuit of the DC-DC converter
to be ES1 up to a configured output voltage (sum of nominal voltages, if in series configuration) of 35 V.
However, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure the compliance with the relevant and applicable safety regulations.

Description of Options
Option P: Output Voltage Adjustment
Option P provides a built-in multi-turn potentiometer, which allows an output voltage adjustment of ±10% of Vo nom. The potentiometer
is accessible through a hole in the front cover.
With double-output models, both outputs are affected by the potentiometer. If converters are parallel-connected, their individual
output voltage should be set within a tolerance of ±1%.
If Vo is set higher than Vo nom, the output currents should be reduced accordingly, so that the maximum specified output power is
not exceeded.
