SQ24T/S03150
19-36 Vdc Input, 3.3 A, 15 Vdc Output
The new
SemiQ™ Family
of DC/DC converters from di/dt
provides a high efficiency single output in a size that is only
60% of industry-standard quarter bricks, while preserving the
same pinout and functionality.
In high temperature environments, the thermal performance
of
SemiQ™
converters exceeds that of most competitors'
quarter bricks. This is accomplished through the use of pat-
ent pending circuit, packaging and processing techniques to
achieve ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal management
and a very low body profile.
Low body profile and the preclusion of heatsinks minimize
airflow shadowing, thus enhancing cooling for downstream
devices. The use of 100% automation for assembly, coupled
with di/dt’s advanced electrical and thermal design, results in
a product with extremely high reliability.
With a standard pinout and trim equations, the
SQ24 Series
converters are perfect drop-in replacements for existing
quarter brick designs. Inclusion of this converter in new de-
signs can result in significant board space and cost savings.
The device is also available in a surface mount package.
In both cases the designer can expect reliability improve-
ment over other available converters because of the
SQ24
Series’
optimized thermal efficiency.

Operation
Input and Output Impedance
These power converters have been designed to be stable
with no external capacitors when used in low inductance in-
put and output circuits.
However, in many applications, the inductance associated
with the distribution from the power source to the input of the
converter can affect the stability of the converter. The addi-
tion of a 100
µF
electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1
Ω
across the input helps ensure stability 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 1000
µF.

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 connected at the load or at the point
where regulation is required (see Fig. B).
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. A.

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 the 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 output current for the given
Fig. A:
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-

conditions.
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. Trim up to 10% is guar-
anteed only at Vin
≥
21 V, and to 5% is guaranteed only at
Vin
≥
20 V.
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. C. A trim resis-
tor, R

When trimming up, care must be taken not to exceed the

section for a complete discussion of this requirement.
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. The designer should ensure that the dif-
ference between the voltages across the converter’s output
