The new SSQE48T25012 DC-DC converter is an open frame sixteenth-brick
DC-DC converter that conforms to the Distributed Open Standards
Architecture (DOSA) specifications. The converter operates over an input
voltage range of 36 to 75 VDC, and provides a tightly regulated output voltage
with an output current up to 25 A. The output is fully isolated from the input
and the converter meets Basic Insulation requirements permitting a positive or
negative output configuration.
The converter is constructed using a single-board approach with both planar
and discrete magnetics. The standard feature set includes remote On/Off
(positive or negative logic), input undervoltage lockout, output overvoltage,
overcurrent, and short circuit protections, output voltage trim, and
overtemperature shutdown with hysteresis.
With standard pinout and trim equations and excellent thermal performance,
the SSQE48T25012 converters can replace in most cases existing eighth-brick
converters. Inclusion of this converter in a new design can result in significant
board space and cost savings.

These power converters have been designed to be stable with no external capacitors when used in low inductance input and
output circuits.
However, in some applications, the inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of the
converter can affect the stability of the converter. A 33 µF electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1Ω across the input is
recommended to ensure stability of the converter over the wide range of input source impedance.
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.
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 and negative logic, both referenced to Vin(-). A typical connection is shown in Fig. A.

The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic high and turns off when the pin is at a logic low. The
converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left open. See the Electrical Specifications for logic high/low definitions.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is at a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a 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.
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled up to 5 V through a resistor. A properly de-bounced 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 0.2mA at a
low level voltage of 0.8V. An external voltage source (±20V maximum) may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input, in
which case it must be capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1mA depending on the signal polarity. See the Startup 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).

Figure B. Remote sense circuit configuration.
CAUTION
If remote sensing is not utilized, 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
data sheet value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large traces on the end-user board are not required. However, sense traces
should be run side by side and located close to a ground plane to minimize system noise and ensure optimum performance.
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, which is 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 output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down 20%. 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.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim resistor, RT-INCR, should be connected between the TRIM (Pin 6) and
SENSE(+) (Pin 7), with a value of:

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
between the voltages across the converter’s output pins and its sense pins does not exceed 10% of VOUT (nom), or:
[VOUT(+) − VOUT(−)] − [VSENSE(+) − VSENSE(−)] VO - NOM X 10% [V]
This equation is applicable for any condition of output sensing and/or output trim.

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 typically 34 V for the converter to turn on. Once the converter has been turned on, it will shut off
when the input voltage drops typically below 32 V. This feature is beneficial in preventing deep discharging of batteries used
in telecom applications.
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. During short circuit, when the
output voltage drops below 50% its nominal value, the converter will shut down.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to restart nominally every 200ms with a very low duty cycle. The attempted
restart will continue indefinitely until the overload or short circuit conditions are removed.
Once the output current is brought back into its specified range, the converter automatically exits the hiccup mode and
continues normal operation.
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 200 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. Converter will
automatically restart after it has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
The converters are safety approved to UL/CSA 62368-1 and IEC/EN 62368-1. Basic Insulation is provided between input
and output.
The converters have no internal fuse. If required, the external fuse needs to be provided to protect the converter from
catastrophic failure. Refer to the “Input Fuse Selection for DC/DC converters” application note at belfuse.com/powersolutions for proper selection of the input fuse. Both input traces and the chassis ground trace
(if applicable) must be capable of conducting a current of 1.5 times the value of the fuse without opening. The fuse must
not be placed in the grounded input line.
Abnormal and component failure tests were conducted with the input protected by an external UL-listed fuse, rated 20A. If
a fuse rated greater than 20A is used, additional testing may be required. To protect a group of converters with a single
fuse, the rating can be increased from the recommended value above.
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 EN 55032, Information technology equipment - Radio disturbance
characteristics-Limits and methods of measurement.
An effective internal LC differential filter significantly reduces input reflected ripple current, and improves EMC.
With the addition of a simple external filter, all versions of the SSQE48T25012 converters pass the requirements of Class B
conducted emissions per EN 55032 and FCC requirements. Please contact Bel Power Solutions Applications Engineering for
details of this testing.

The converters have 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, startup and shutdown
parameters, output ripple and noise, transient response to load step-change, overload, and short circuit.
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 metallized. The two inner layers, comprised of two-ounce copper,
were used to provide traces for connectivity to the converter.
The lack of metallization 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 the vertical and horizontal wind tunnel using Infrared (IR) thermography and
thermocouples for thermometry.
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. The use of AWG #40 gauge thermocouples is recommended to ensure measurement accuracy.
Careful routing of the thermocouple leads will further minimize measurement error. Refer to Fig. H for the recommended
measuring thermocouple location.
Fig. H: Location of the thermocouple for thermal testing.
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are given in Figure 1. Ambient temperature was varied between 25°C
and 85°C, with airflow rates from 30 to 500 LFM (0.15 to 2.5m/s).
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 of 125°C
as indicated by the thermographic image, or
(ii) The temperature of the transformer does not exceed 125°C, or
(iii) The nominal rating of the converter.
During normal operation, derating curves with maximum FET temperature less or equal to 125°C should not be exceeded.
Temperature at thermocouple locations TC1 and TC2 shown in Fig. H should not exceed 100°C and 125°C respectively, in
order to operate inside the derating curves.
Figure 2 shows the efficiency vs. load current plot for ambient temperature of 25ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5 m/s) with
vertical mounting and input voltages of 36V, 48V, and 72V. Also, a plot of efficiency vs. load current, as a function of ambient
temperature with Vin=48V, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) with vertical mounting is shown in Figure 3.
