However, in many applications , the inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of the converter can affect the stabilit y of the converter. The addi- tion of a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1 Ω across the input helps ensure st ability of the converter. In many applications, the user has to use decoupling capaci- tance at the load. The power converter will exhibit stable op- eration with external load capacitance up to 10,000 µF. ON/OFF (Pin 2) The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two remote con- trol options available, positive logic and negative logic and both are referenced to Vin(-). Typical connections are shown in Fig. 2. Rload Vin CONTROL INPUT Vin (+) Vin (-) ON/OFF Vout (+) Vout (-) TRIM SENSE (+) SENSE (-) (Top View) Converter Q TM Family Fig. 2: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function. 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 volt- age of ≤ 0.8 V. An external voltage source of ±20 V max. may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input, in which case it should be capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1 mA depending on the signal polarity. See the Start-up Informa- tion section for system timing waveforms associated with use of the ON/OFF pin. Remote Sense (Pins 5 and 7) The remote sense feature of the converter compensates for voltage drops occurring between the output pins of the con- verter and the load. The SENSE(-) (Pin 5) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7) pins should be connecte d at the load or at the point where regulation is required (see Fig. 3). 100 Rw Rw Rload Vin Vin (+) Vin (-) ON/OFF Vout (+) Vout (-) TRIM SENSE (+) SENSE (-) (Top View) Converter Q TM Family Fig. 3: Remote sense circuit configuration. If remote sensing is not required, 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 t he specified output voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter will deliver an output voltage that is slightly higher than the specified value. Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large traces on the end-user board are not required. However, sense traces should be located close to a ground plane to minimize system noise and insure optimum performance. When wiring discretely, twisted pair wires should be used to connect the sense lines to the load to reduce susceptibility to noise. The converter’s output over-voltage 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 capabil- ity of the converter, equal to the product of the nominal out- put voltage and the allowable ou tput current for the given conditions.

JUN 01, 2003 revised to NOV 22, 2006 Page 6 of 14 www.power-one.com Q24S15050 DC-DC Converter Data Sheet 18-36 VDC Input; 5 VDC @ 15A Output When using remote sense, the output voltage at the con- verter 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 con- verter’s actual output power remains at or below the maxi- mum allowable output power. Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 6) The converter’s output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down 20% relative to the rated output voltage by the addition of an externally connected resistor. The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF capacitor is con- nected internally between the TRIM and SENSE(-) pins. To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. 4. A trim resistor, R T-INCR, should be connected between the TRIM (Pin 6) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7), with a value of: 10.221.225∆ 626∆)V5.11(100R NOMO INCRT −−+= − [kΩ] where, =−INCRTR Required value of trim-up resistor kΩ] =−NOMOV Nominal value of output voltage [V] 100XV )V(V ∆ NOM- O NOM-OREQ-O −= [%] =−REQOV Desired (trimmed) output voltage [V]. When trimming up, care must be taken not to exceed the converter‘s maximum allowable output power. See previous section for a complete discussion of this requirement. To decrease the output voltage (Fig. 5), a trim resistor, R T-DECR, should be connected between the TRIM (Pin 6) and SENSE(-) (Pin 5), with a value of: 10.22∆ 511R DECRT −=− [kΩ] where, Rload Vin Vin (+) Vin (-) ON/OFF Vout (+) Vout (-) TRIM SENSE (+) SENSE (-) R T-INCR (Top View) Converter Q TM Family Fig. 4: Configuration for increasing output voltage. =−DECRTR Required value of trim-down resistor [kΩ] and ∆ is as defined above.

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 over-voltage protec- tion (OVP) circuit.

JUN 01, 2003 revised to NOV 22, 2006 Page 7 of 14 www.power-one.com Q24S15050 DC-DC Converter Data Sheet 18-36 VDC Input; 5 VDC @ 15A Output Protection Features Input Undervoltage Lockout 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 at least 17.5 V for the converter to turn on. Once the converter has been turned on, it will shut off when the input voltage drops below 15 V. This feature is beneficial in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in telecom applications. Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP) The converter is protected against overcurrent or short cir- cuit conditions. Upon sensing an overcurrent condition, the converter will switch to cons tant current operation and thereby begin to reduce output voltage. When the output voltage drops below 2.5 Vdc, the converter will shut down (Fig. 26). Once the converter ha s shut down, it will attempt to restart nominally every 100 ms with a 2% duty cycle (Fig 27). The attempted restart will continue indefinitely until the overload or short circuit conditions are removed or the output voltage rises above 2.5 Vdc. Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) 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 refer- ence, independent of the output voltage regulation loop. Once the converter ha s shut down, it will attempt to restart every 100 ms until the OVP condition is removed. Overtemperature Protection (OTP) The converter will shut down under an overtemperature con- dition to protect itself from overheating caused by operation outside the thermal derating curves, or operation in abnor- mal conditions such as system fan failure. After the con- verter has cooled to a safe operating temperature, it will automatically restart. Safety Requirements The converters meet North American and International safety regulatory requirements per UL60950 and EN60950. Basic Insulation is provided between input and output. To comply with safety agencies requirements, an input line fuse must be used external to the converter. A 10-A fuse is recommended for use with this product. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) EMC requirements must be met at the end-product system level, as no specific standards dedicated to EMC character- istics 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 distur- bance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement. With the addition of a simple external filter (see application notes), all versions of the Q24S15 converters pass the re- quirements of Class B conducted emissions per EN55022 and FCC, and meet at a minimu m, Class A radiated emis- sions per EN 55022 and Class B per FCC Title 47CFR, Part 15-J. Please contact Power-One Applications Engineering for details of this testing.

The following pages contain specific plots or waveforms as- sociated 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 cop- per, were used to provide traces for connectivity to the con- verter. 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 pur- poses. All measurements requiring airflow were made in Power- One’s vertical and horizontal wind tunnel facilities using In- frared (IR) thermography and thermocouples for thermome- try. Ensuring components on the converter do not exceed their ratings is important to maintaining high reliability. If one an- ticipates 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. Thermo- graphic imaging is preferable; if this capability is not avail- able, then thermocouples may be used. Power-One recom- mends the use of AWG #40 gauge thermocouples to ensure measurement accuracy. Careful routing of the thermocouple leads will further minimize meas urement error. Refer to Fig- ure 28 for optimum measuring thermocouple location. Thermal Derating Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are given in Figs. 10-13. Ambient temperature was varied be- tween 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. 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 tem- perature did not exceed a maximum specified temperature (either 105°C or 120°C) as i ndicated by the thermographic image, or (ii) The nominal rating of the converter (15 A) During normal operation, derating curves with maximum FET temperature less than or equal to 120°C should not be ex- ceeded. Temperature on the PCB at the thermocouple loca- tion shown in Fig. 28 should not exceed 118°C in order to operate inside the derating curves. Efficiency Efficiency vs. load current plots are shown in Figs. 14 and 16 for ambient temperature of 25ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5 m/s), both vertical and horizontal orientations, and input voltages of 18 V, 27 V and 36 V. Also, plots of efficiency vs. load current, as a function of ambient temperature with Vin =

27 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) are shown for both a

vertically and horizontally mounted converter in Figs. 15 and 17, respectively. Start-up Output voltage waveforms, during the turn-on transient using the ON/OFF pin for full rated load currents (resistive load) are shown without and with 10,000 µF load capacitance in Figs. 18 and 19, respectively. Ripple and Noise Figure 22 shows the output voltage ripple waveform, meas- ured at full rated load current with a 10 µF tantalum and 1 µF ceramic capacitor across the output. Note that all output voltage waveforms are measured across a 1 µF ceramic ca- pacitor. The input reflected ripple current waveforms are obtained using the test setup shown in Fig 23. The corresponding waveforms are shown in Figs. 24 and 25.

See Figure 7. Time Comments t0 ON/OFF pin is ON; system front end power is toggled on, VIN to converter begins to rise. t1 V IN crosses Under-Voltage Lockout protection circuit threshold; converter enabled. t2 Converter begins to respond to turn-on command (con- verter turn-on delay). t3 Converter V OUT reaches 100% of nominal value. For this example, the total converter start-up time (t3- t1) is typically 2.5 ms. Scenario #2: Initial Start-up Using ON/OFF Pin With V IN previously powered, converter started via ON/OFF pin. See Figure 8. Time Comments t0 V INPUT at nominal value. t1 Arbitrary time when ON/OFF pin is enabled (converter enabled). t2 End of converter turn-on delay. t3 Converter V OUT reaches 100% of nominal value. For this example, the total converter start-up time (t3- t1) is typically 2.5 ms. Scenario #3: Turn-off and Restart Using ON/OFF Pin With V IN previously powered, converter is disabled and then en- abled via ON/OFF pin. See Figure 9. Time Comments t0 V IN and VOUT are at nominal values; ON/OFF pin ON. t1 ON/OFF pin arbitrarily disabled; converter output falls 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 8. t4 End of converter turn-on delay. t5 Converter V OUT reaches 100% of nominal value. For the condition, (t2- t1) ≤ 100 ms, the total converter start-up time (t5- t2) is typically 102.5 ms. For (t2- t1) > 100 ms, start-up will be typically 2.5 ms after release of ON/OFF pin.
