48Vin 1.8Vout 60A
60 Amp, No Heatsink, Isolated DC/DC Converter
The PQ48018HTA60 PowerQor™ Tera converter is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses synchronous rectification toachieve 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. The Tera series converters offer the maximum useable output current for any standard “half-brick” module. The Tera units also feature active current sharing for N+1 and parallel applications.
PQ48018HTA60 Module
Operational Features

Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout and over-voltage shutdown protects against abnormal input voltages • Output current limit and short circuit protection • Output over-voltage protection • Thermal shutdown
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard half-brick pin-out configuration • Industry standard footprint: 2.3” x 2.4” • Total height only 0.43”, permits better airflow and smaller card pitch • Total weight: 2.6 oz. (75 grams)
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 permits custom voltages and voltage margining
Safety Features
• 2000V, 10 MΩ input-to-output isolation • UL/cUL 60950 recognized (US & Canada), basic insulation rating • TUV certified to EN60950 • Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives • Meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements
