The ASQ24 eighth-brick dc-dc converters are ideally suited for aerospace
applications where high reliability, low profile, and low weight are critical. They
are designed for reliable operation in harsh thermal and mechanical
environments.
In high-ambient temperature applications, the ASQ24 Series converters
provide thermal performance that exceeds competing dc-dc converters that
have a higher nominal rating and much larger package size. This performance
is accomplished through the use of patented/patent-pending circuits,
packaging, and processing techniques to achieve ultra-high efficiency,
excellent thermal management, and a low-body profile. Coupled with the use
of 100% automation for assembly, this results in a product with extremely high
quality and reliability.
Available in through-hole and surface-mount packages, the ASQ24 Series
converters are also ideal for environments with little or no airflow.
Operating from an 18 to 36 VDC input, the ASQ24 Series converters provide
any standard output voltage from 12 VDC down to 1.0 VDC. Outputs can be
trimmed from –20% to +10% of the nominal output voltage (±10% for output
voltages 1.2 VDC and 1.0 VDC), thus providing outstanding design flexibility.

These power converters have been designed to be stable with no external capacitors when used in low inductance input
and output circuits.
However, in many applications, the inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of the
converter can affect the stability of the converter. The addition of a 100 µF electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1 across
the input helps ensure stability of the converter. In many applications, the user has to use decoupling capacitance at the
load. The power converter will exhibit stable operation with external load capacitance up to 1000 µF on 12 V, 2,200 µF on
8.0 V, 10,000 µF on 5.0 V – 6.0 V, and 15,000 µF on 3.3 V – 1.0 V outputs.
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two remote control
options available, positive logic and negative logic and both are referenced to Vin(-).
Typical connections are shown in Fig. A.

The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is at logic high and turns off when at logic low. The converter is on
when the ON/OFF pin is left open.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is at logic low and turns off when the pin is at logic high. The ON/OFF pin
can be hard wired directly to Vin(-) to enable automatic power up of the converter without the need of an external control
signal.
ON/OFF pin is internally pulled-up to 5 V through a resistor. A mechanical switch, open collector transistor, or FET can be
used to drive the input of the ON/OFF pin. The device must be capable of sinking up to 0.2 mA at a low level voltage of
0.8 V. An external voltage source (±20 V maximum) may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input, in which case it must
be capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1 mA depending on the signal polarity. See the Start-up Information section for
system timing waveforms associated with use of the ON/OFF pin.

The remote sense feature of the converter compensates for voltage drops occurring between the output pins of the converter
and the load. The SENSE(-) (Pin 5) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7) pins should be connected at the load or at the point where regulation
is required (see Fig. B).

If remote sensing is not required, the SENSE(-) pin must be connected to the Vout(-) pin (Pin 4), and the SENSE(+) pin must
be connected to the Vout(+) pin (Pin 8) to ensure the converter will regulate at the specified output voltage. If these
connections are not made, the converter will deliver an output voltage that is slightly higher than the specified value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large traces on the end-user board are not required. However, sense traces
should be located close to a ground plane to minimize system noise and insure optimum performance. When wiring
discretely, twisted pair wires should be used to connect the sense lines to the load to reduce susceptibility to noise.
The converter’s output overvoltage protection (OVP) senses the voltage across Vout(+) and Vout(-), and not across the sense
lines, so the resistance (and resulting voltage drop) between the output pins of the converter and the load should be
minimized to prevent unwanted triggering of the OVP.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable output power capability
of the converter, equal to the product of the nominal output voltage and the allowable output current for the given conditions.
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the converter can be increased by as much as 10% above the nominal
rating in order to maintain the required voltage across the load. Therefore, the designer must, if necessary, decrease the
maximum current (originally obtained from the derating curves) by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s actual
output power remains at or below the maximum allowable output power.
The converter’s output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down 20% for Vout ≥ 1.5 V, and ±10% for Vout = 1.2 V and 1.0
V, relative to the rated output voltage by the addition of an externally connected resistor. For output voltages 3.3 V, trim up
to 10% is guaranteed only at Vin ≥ 20 V, and it is marginal (8% to 10%) at Vin = 18 V depending on load current.

Trimming/sensing beyond 110% of the rated output voltage is not an acceptable design practice, as this condition could
cause unwanted triggering of the output overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit. The designer should ensure that the difference

Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this converter. The converter will shut down when the input voltage drops below
a pre-determined voltage.
The input voltage must be at least 17.5V for the converter to turn on. Once the converter has been turned on, it will shut off
when the input voltage drops below 15V. This feature is beneficial in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in telecom
applications.
BU
The converter is protected against overcurrent or short circuit conditions. Upon sensing an overcurrent condition, the
converter will switch to constant current operation and thereby begin to reduce output voltage. When the output voltage
drops below 50% of the nominal value of output voltage, the converter will shut down.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to restart nominally every 100 ms with a typical 1-2% duty cycle. The
attempted restart will continue indefinitely until the overload or short circuit conditions are removed or the output voltage
rises above 50% of its nominal value.
TI
M
E
The converter will shut down if the output voltage across Vout(+) (Pin 8) and Vout(-) (Pin 4) exceeds the threshold of the OVP
circuitry. The OVP circuitry contains its own reference, independent of the output voltage regulation loop. Once the converter
has shut down, it will attempt to restart every 100 ms until the OVP condition is removed.
The converter will shut down under an overtemperature condition to protect itself from overheating caused by operation
outside the thermal derating curves, or operation in abnormal conditions such as system fan failure. After the converter has
cooled to a safe operating temperature, it will automatically restart.
The converters meet North American and International safety regulatory requirements per UL 60950-1/CSA 22.2 No.
60950-1-07 Second Edition, IEC 60950-1: 2005, and EN 60950-1:2006. Basic Insulation is provided between input and
output.
To comply with safety agencies requirements, an input line fuse must be used external to the converter. The table below

If one input fuse is used for a group of modules, the maximum fuse rating should not exceed 15-A (ASQ modules are UL
approved with up to a 15-A fuse).
EMC requirements must be met at the end-product system level, as no specific standards dedicated to EMC characteristics
of board mounted component dc-dc converters exist. However, Bel Power Solutions tests its converters to several system
level standards, primary of which is the more stringent EN55022, Information technology equipment - Radio disturbance
characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement.
With the addition of a simple external filter (see application notes), all versions of the ASQ24 Series of converters pass the
requirements of Class B conducted emissions per EN55022 and FCC, and meet at a minimum, Class A radiated emissions
per EN 55022 and Class B per FCC Title 47CFR, Part 15-J. Please contact di/dt Applications Engineering for details of this

The converter has been characterized for many operational aspects, to include thermal derating (maximum load current as
a function of ambient temperature and airflow) for vertical and horizontal mounting, efficiency, start-up and shutdown
parameters, output ripple and noise, transient response to load step-change, overload and short circuit.
The figures are numbered as Fig. x.y, where x indicates the different output voltages, and y is associated with a specific plot
(y = 1 for the vertical thermal derating, …). For example, Fig. x.1 will refer to the vertical thermal derating for all the output
voltages in general.
The following pages contain specific plots or waveforms associated with the converter. Additional comments for specific
data are provided below.
All data presented were taken with the converter soldered to a test board, specifically a 0.060” thick printed wiring board
(PWB) with four layers. The top and bottom layers were not metalized. The two inner layers, comprising two-ounce
copper, were used to provide traces for connectivity to the converter.
The lack of metalization on the outer layers as well as the limited thermal connection ensured that heat transfer from the
converter to the PWB was minimized. This provides a worst-case but consistent scenario for thermal derating purposes.
All measurements requiring airflow were made in vertical and horizontal wind tunnel facilities using Infrared (IR) thermography
and thermocouples for thermometry.
TI
M
E
Ensuring components on the converter do not exceed their ratings is important to maintaining high reliability. If one
anticipates operating the converter at or close to the maximum loads specified in the derating curves, it is prudent to check
actual operating temperatures in the application. Thermographic imaging is preferable; if this capability is not available, then
thermocouples may be used. Power-One recommends the use of AWG #40 gauge thermocouples to ensure measurement
accuracy. Careful routing of the thermocouple leads will further minimize measurement error. Refer to Figure H for optimum
measuring thermocouple location.
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are given in Fig. x.1 for through-hole version. Ambient temperature
was varied between 25°C and 85°C, with airflow rates from 30 to 500 LFM (0.15 to 2.5m/s), and vertical and horizontal
converter mounting.
For each set of conditions, the maximum load current was defined as the lowest of:
(i) The output current at which any FET junction temperature does not exceed a maximum specified temperature (120 °C) as
indicated by the thermographic image, or
LA
ST
(ii) The nominal rating of the converter (4 A on 12 V, 5.3 A on 8.0 V, 8 A on 6.0 V, 10 A on 5.0 V, and 15 A on 3.3 – 1.0V).
During normal operation, derating curves with maximum FET temperature less than or equal to 120 °C should not be
exceeded. Temperature on the PCB at the thermocouple location shown in Fig. H should not exceed 118 °C in order to
operate inside the derating curves.
