High Efficiency, No Heatsink, Isolated DC/DC Converter
The PQ48015QNA25 PowerQor™ quarter-brick converter is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed switching frequency dc/dc converter that uses synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the converter is so low that a heatsink is not required, which saves cost, weight, height, and application effort. All of the power and control components are mounted to the multi-layer PCB substrate with high-yield surface mount technology. Since the PowerQor converter has no explicit thermal connections, it is extremely reliable.
PQ48015QNA25 Module
Operational Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, 81% at full rated load current • Delivers up to 25 amps of output current with minimal derating - no heatsink required • Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V meets or exceeds all 48V bus standards • Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI performance • No minimum load requirement means no preload resistors required
Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low input voltage conditions • Output current limit and short circuit protection protects converter from excessive load current or short circuits • Output over-voltage protection protects load from damaging voltages • Thermal shutdown protects converter from abnormal environmental conditions
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard pin-out configuration (pin for pin compatible with Lucent QHW series) • Industry standard size: 1.45” x 2.3” • Total height less than 0.40”, permits better airflow and smaller card pitch • Total weight: 34 grams (1.2 oz.), lower mass greatly reduces vibration and shock problems
Control Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and negative logic options are available) • Remote sense for the output voltage compensates for output distribution drops • Output voltage trim: +10%/-20%, permits custom voltages and voltage margining
Safety Features
• 2000V, 10 MΩ input-to-output isolation provides input/output ground separation • UL 1950 recognized (US & Canada), basic insulation rating • TUV certified to EN60950

OPTIONS
The PQ48015QNA25 comes in two versions that differ by the sense of the logic used for the ON/OFF control signal. The PQ48015QNA25P version uses positive logic; meaning that the converter is on when the ON/OFF signal (Pin 2) is high. The PQ48015QNA25N version uses negative logic; the converter is on when the ON/OFF signal is low. Logic input is TTL compatible with an internal pull up. Patents: SynQor is protected under various patents, including but not limited to U.S. Patent # 5,999,417.

SAFETY
The PQ48015QNA25 series of converters are UL 1950 recognized (US & Canada) with basic insulation rating and TUV certified to EN60950 requirements. The converters also meet 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives as well as 94V-0 flammability requirements for board and plastic components. An external input fuse must always be used to meet these safety requirements.
