Description
The QBDW033A0B series of dc-dc converters are a new generation of DC/DC power modules designed to support
9.6 -12Vdc intermediate bus applications where multiple low voltages are subsequently generated using point of load
(POL) converters, as well as other application requiring a tightly regulated output voltage. The QBDW033A0B series
operate from an input voltage range of 36 to 75Vdc and provide up to 33A output current at output voltages from
8.1V
dc
to 12V
dc
in a DOSA standard quarter brick. The converter incorporates digital control, synchronous rectification
technology, a fully regulated control topology, and innovative packaging techniques to achieve efficiency approaching
97% peak at 12V
dc
output. This leads to lower power dissipations such that for many applications a heat sink is not
required. Standard features include output voltage trim, remote sense, on/off control, output overcurrent and over
voltage protection, over temperature protection, input under and over voltage lockout, power good signal and PMBus
interface.
The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. Built-
in filtering for both input and output minimizes the need for external filtering.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute
stress ratings only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those
given in the operations sections of the Data Sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can
adversely affect device reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an
integrated part of sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included,
however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a
fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of TBD A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided
in this Data Sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used.
Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s Data Sheet for further information.
