Description
The new Q2S15 series of low profile, high-density, single-output DC/DC converters convert standard
telecom and datacom voltages into isolated low-voltage outputs. The Q2S’s leading-edge technology
provides high efficiency. The SMT mounting option eliminates the need for a separate (additional manual)
process in attaching the converters to the motherboards during mass production.

converter.
Note, that the capacitors do not
substitute the filtering required by the load.
Shutdown Feature Description
The ON/OFF pin in the Q2S15 series converters
functions as a normal soft shutdown.
It is
referenced to the –Vin pin (see Figure 2). With
positive logic, when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low,
the output is turned off and the unit goes into a
very low input power mode. With negative logic,
when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low, the unit is
turned on.
An open collector switch is recommended to
control the voltage between the ON/OFF pin and
the -Vin pin of the converter. The ON/OFF pin is
pulled up internally, so no external voltage source
is required. The user should avoid connecting a
resistor between the ON/OFF pin and the +Vin
pin.
When the ON/OFF pin is used to achieve remote
control, the user must take care to insure that the
pin reference for the control is really the -Vin pin.
The control signal must not be referenced ahead
of EMI filtering or remotely from the unit. Optically
coupling the information and locating the optical
coupler directly at the module will solve any of
these problems.
Note:
If the ON/OFF pin is not used, it can be left
floating (positive logic), or connected to the -Vin
pin (negative logic).

Typical Application
Figure 2 shows the recommended connections for
the Q2S15 series converter.
Fig. 2.
Typical Application of Q2S15 Series
The Q2S15 series converters do not require any
external components for proper operation.
However, if the distribution of the input voltage to
the converter contains significant inductance, a
capacitor may be required to enhance
performance of the converter. A minimum of a
100µF electrolytic capacitor with the ESR<0.7Ω is
recommended for the Q2S15 series.
If magnitude of the inrush current needs to be
limited, see the “Inrush Current Control
Application Note” on the Power-One website at
www.power-one.com.
For output decoupling we recommend using a
10μF tantalum and a 1μF ceramic capacitor
connected directly across the output pins of the

Output Voltage Trim
The trim feature allows the user to adjust the
output voltage from the nominal value. This can
be used to compensate distribution drops,
perform margining in production, or accommodate
other requirements when output voltage needs to
be adjusted from the nominal.
The converter’s output voltage (at the terminals)
can be adjusted up 10% or down 20% relative to
the nominal output voltage by connecting the
TRIM pin to sense (+) or sense (-) via a trim
resistor. The Trim pin should be left open if the
trimming function is not to be used.
To trim up the output voltage, a trim resistor, RT-
INCR, should be connected between TRIM (Pin 6)
