Q24S25033 DC-DC Converter Data Sheet
18-36 VDC Input; 3.3 VDC @ 25A Output
Description
The Q24S25033 surface mounted DC-DC converter offers
unprecedented performance in an industry-standard
quarter-brick format. This is accomplished through the use of
patent pending circuit and packaging techniques to achieve
ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal performance and a
very low body profile.
Family 25 A conIn telecommunications applications the Q
verters provide thermal performance that far exceeds all
quarter bricks and is comparable even to existing half-bricks.
Low body profile and the preclusion of heat sinks minimize
airflow shadowing, thus enhancing cooling for downstream
devices. The use of 100% surface-mount technologies for
assembly, coupled with Power-One’s advanced electric and
thermal circuitry and packaging, results in a product with
extremely high quality and reliability.

case it should 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.
Operation
Input and Output Impedance
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 33 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 30,000 µF.
Remote Sense (Pins 5 and 7)
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. 3).

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 of ±20 V max.
may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input, in which

Fig. 3: Remote sense circuit configuration.
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 over-voltage 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.

where,
The converter’s output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or
down 20% relative to the rated output voltage by the addition
of an externally connected resistor. Trim up to 10% is guaranteed only at Vin ≥ 20 V, and it is marginal (8% to 10%) at
Vin = 18 V.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not being
used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF capacitor is connected internally between the TRIM and SENSE(-) pins.

Note: The above equations for calculation of trim resistor

Protection Features
Safety Requirements
Input Undervoltage Lockout
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 17.5 V for the converter to
turn on. Once the converter has been turned on, it will shut
off when the input voltage drops below 15 V. This feature is
beneficial in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.
Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
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 1.2 VDC, the converter will shut down (Fig. 26).
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to restart
nominally every 100 ms with a 3% duty cycle (Fig 27). The
attempted restart will continue indefinitely until the overload
or short circuit conditions are removed or the output voltage
rises above 1.2 VDC.
The converters meet North American and International safety regulatory requirements per UL60950 and EN60950. 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. A 10-A fuse is
recommended for use with this product.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
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, Power-One 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 Q24S25 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 Power-One Applications Engineering
for details of this testing.
Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
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.
Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
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.

(0.15 to 2.5 m/s), and vertical and horizontal converter
mounting.
Characterization
General Information
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 following pages contain specific plots or waveforms associated with the converter. Additional comments for specific
data are provided below.
Test Conditions
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 PowerOne’s vertical and horizontal wind tunnel facilities using
Infrared (IR) thermography and thermocouples for thermometry.
For each set of conditions, the maximum load current was
defined as the lowest of:
(i) The output current at which either any FET junction temperature did not exceed a maximum specified temperature
(either 105°C or 120°C) as indicated by the thermographic
image, or
(ii) The nominal rating of the converter (25 A
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. 28 should not exceed 118°C in order to
operate inside the derating curves.
Efficiency
Efficiency vs. load current plots are shown in Figs. 14 and 16
for ambient temperature of 25ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM
(1.5 m/s), both vertical and horizontal orientations, and input
voltages of 18 V, 27 V and 36 V. Also, plots of efficiency vs.
load current, as a function of ambient temperature with Vin =
27 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) are shown for both a
vertically and horizontally mounted converter in Figs. 15 and
17, respectively.
Start-up
Output voltage waveforms, during the turn-on transient using
the ON/OFF pin for full rated load currents (resistive load)
are shown without and with 10,000 F load capacitance in
Figs. 18 and 19, respectively.
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 28 for optimum measuring thermocouple location.
Figure 22 shows the output voltage ripple waveform, measured at full rated load current with a 10 µF tantalum and 1 µF
ceramic capacitor across the output. Note that all output voltage waveforms are measured across a 1 F ceramic capacitor.
Thermal Derating
The input reflected ripple current waveforms are obtained
using the test setup shown in Fig 23. The corresponding
waveforms are shown in Figs. 24 and 25.
Ripple and Noise
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are
given in Figs. 10-13. Ambient temperature was varied between 25°C and 85°C, with airflow rates from 30 to 500 LFM
