20 Amp, No Heatsink, Isolated DC/DC Converter
The PQ60050QGA20 PowerQor™ Giga quarterbrick 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.
PQ60050QGA20 Module
Operational Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, 89% at full rated load current • Delivers up to 20 amps of output current (100W) with minimal derating - no heatsink required • Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V, with 100V 100ms input voltage transient withstand • 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 quarter-brick pin-out configuration • 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
Safety Features
• 2000V, 10 MΩ input-to-output isolation provides input/output ground separation • UL/cUL 60950 recognized (US & Canada), basic insulation rating • TUV certified to EN60950 • Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives which facilitates CE Marking in user’s end product • Board and plastic components meet UL94V-0 flammability requirements
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
