QD48T0180205 DC-DC Converter Data Sheet
36-75 VDC Input; 1.8 and 2.5 VDC @ 15A Output
The QD48T018025 dual output through-hole mounted
DC-DC converter offers unprecedented performance in a
quarter brick package by providing two independently regulated high current outputs. This is accomplished by the use
of patent pending circuit and packaging techniques to
achieve ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal performance
and a very low body profile.
In telecommunications applications the QD48 converters
provide up to 15 A per channel simultaneously – 30 A total –
with thermal performance far exceeding existing dual quarter
bricks and comparable to dual 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.

Additional Notes:
1. Vout1 and Vout2 can be simultaneously increased or decreased up to 10% via the Trim function. When trimming up, in order not to exceed
the converter‘s maximum allowable output power capability equal to the product of the nominal output voltage and the allowable output current
for the given conditions, 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.

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.
Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 6)
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 Ω
across the input helps ensure stability of the converter. In
many applications, the user has to use decoupling capacitance at the load. The converter will exhibit stable operation
with external load capacitance up to 10,000 µF on both outputs.
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 RETURN pins.
The converter’s output voltages can be adjusted simultaneously up 10% or down 10% relative to the rated output voltages by the addition of an externally connected resistor.
ON/OFF (Pin 2)
Vin
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. 2.

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 of ±20 V max.

The converter will shut down if the output voltage across either Vout1(+) (Pin 4) or Vout2(+) (Pin 7) and RETURN (Pin
5) exceeds the threshold of the OVP circuitry. The OVP protection is separate for Vout1 and Vout2 with their own reference independent of the output voltage regulation loops.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to restart
every 100 ms until the OVP condition is removed.
Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
Note 2: The above trim resistor values match those typically
used in industry-standard dual quarter bricks.
Protection Features
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.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
Safety Requirements
Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this converter.
The converter will shut down when the input voltage drops
below a pre-determined voltage.
The converters meet North American and International
safety regulatory requirements per UL60950 and EN60950.
Basic Insulation is provided between input and output.
The input voltage must be at least 35 V for the converter to
turn on. Once the converter has been turned on, it will shut
off when the input voltage drops below 31 V. This feature is
beneficial in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.
To comply with safety agencies requirements, an input line
fuse must be used external to the converter. A 4-A fuse is
recommended for use with this product.
Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
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.
The converter is protected against over-current or short circuit conditions on both outputs. Upon sensing an overcurrent condition, the converter will switch to constant current operation and thereby begin to reduce output voltages.
If, due to current limit, the output voltage Vout2 (2.5 V) drops
below Vout1 - 0.6 V converter will shutdown. If, due to current limit, the output voltage Vout1 (1.8 V) drops below 60%
of its nominal value (1.1 V) the converter will shut down
(Figs. 26 and 27). Thus, current limit on one output does not
affect regulation on the other output.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to restart
nominally every 100 ms with a typical 2% duty cycle (Figs.
28 and 29). The attempted restart will continue indefinitely
until the overload or short circuit conditions are removed or
the output voltage rises above under-voltage threshold.
MAY 08, 2003 revised to NOV 13, 2006
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the addition of a simple external filter (see application
notes), all versions of the QD48T 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.

temperature was varied between 25°C and 85°C, with airflow
rates from 30 to 500 LFM (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.
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
(120°C) as indicated by the thermographic image, or
(ii) The nominal rating of the converter (15 A on either output)
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. 34 should not exceed 118°C in order to
operate inside the derating curves.
Efficiency
Efficiency vs. load current plots are shown in Figs. 12-17 for
ambient temperature of 25ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5
m/s), both vertical and horizontal orientations, and input voltages of 36 V, 48 V and 72 V, for different combinations of
the loads on outputs Vout1 and Vout2.
Start-up
All measurements requiring airflow were made in PowerOne’s vertical and horizontal wind tunnel facilities using infrared (IR) thermography and thermocouples for thermometry.
Output voltage waveforms during the turn-on transient using
the ON/OFF pin, are shown without and with full rated load
currents (resistive load) in Figs. 18 and 19, respectively.
Ensuring that the 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 34 for optimum measuring thermocouple location.
Ripple and Noise
Figure 30 shows the output voltage ripple waveform, measured at full rated load current on both outputs with a 1 µF
ceramic capacitor across both outputs. Note that all output
voltage waveforms are measured across a 1 µF ceramic capacitor.
The input reflected ripple current waveforms are obtained
using the test setup shown in Fig. 31. The corresponding
waveforms are shown in Figs. 32 and 33.
Thermal Derating
Available output power and load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are given in Figs. 8-11. Ambient

VIN and VOUT are at nominal values; ON/OFF pin ON.
t1
ON/OFF pin arbitrarily disabled; converter outputs fall
to zero; turn-on inhibit delay period (100 ms typical) is
initiated, and ON/OFF pin action is internally inhibited.
t2
ON/OFF pin is externally re-enabled.
If (t2- t1) ≤ 100 ms, external action of ON/OFF pin
is locked out by start-up inhibit timer.
If (t2- t1) > 100 ms, ON/OFF pin action is internally
enabled.
t3
Turn-on inhibit delay period ends. If ON/OFF pin is ON,
converter begins turn-on; if off, converter awaits
ON/OFF pin ON signal; see Figure 6.
t4
End of converter turn-on delay.
t5
Output voltage VOUT1 reaches 100% of nominal value.
t6
Output voltage VOUT2 reaches 100% of nominal value.
For the condition, (t2 - t1) ≤ 100 ms, the total converter start-up
time (t6 - t2) is typically 103 ms. For (t2 - t1) > 100 ms, start-up time
will be typically 3 ms after release of ON/OFF pin.
