Description
The QTS48T46096 bus converter provides a 5:1 fixed ratio, isolated, step-down voltage. Output voltage is directly
proportional to input voltage with a conversion ratio of 5:1; at 48 VDC the resulting output voltage would be
9.6 VDC. The converter provides ultra-high efficiency over 97%; as a result very little heat is dissipated and a heat
sink is not required.
The QTS48T46096 is an excellent choice for intermediate bus applications where multiple output voltages are
required and a 9.6 V rail will be used to power “Point of Load” devices.

Shutdown Feature Description
The ON/OFF pin in the QTS48T46096 converter
functions as a normal soft shutdown. It is referenced
to the –Vin pin (see Figure 2). With the 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).
Load (%)

Figure 2 shows the recommended connections for
the QTS48T46096 converter.
Parallel Operation
Figure 2. Typical Application of QTS48T46096
The QTS48T46096 converter does not require any
external components for proper operation. However,
if the distribution of the input voltage to the converter
contains significant inductance, a capacitor C1 may
be required to enhance performance of the
converter. A minimum of a 100
µF
electrolytic
capacitor with the ESR<0.5Ω at 100 kHz is
recommended for the QTS48T46096.
Refer to the “Inrush Current Control Application
Note” on www.power-one.com for suggestions on
how to limit the magnitude of the inrush current.
For output decoupling we recommend using a 10
µF
low ESR tantalum (AVX TPSC106M025R0500 is
used in our test setup) and a 1
µF
ceramic capacitor.
Note, that the capacitors do not substitute the
filtering required by the load.
The following precautions must be observed when
operating two or more QTS48T46096’s in parallel:
1. The inputs of all units must be attached to
the same voltage source
2. The PCB trace resistance into each unit
should be equalized as much as is practical.
3. The enable pins must be tied together and
operated as a single unit.
4. The undervoltage lockout start-up point will
vary from unit to unit, therefore the dv/dt of
the input source as it rises from 0V to its final
value will affect the ability of the parallel
units to turn on into a load equal to more that
the maximum rated load of 1 unit. The dv/dt
of the rising edge of the input voltage must
be greater than 2V/msec. If three units are
to be operated in parallel, it is strongly
recommended that the maximum load
current be limited to the maximum current
rating of a single unit until the output voltage
exceeds 90% of the rated output voltage.
5. The accuracy of the current sharing will be
affected by the series impedance between
each unit at the load. Balancing these
impedances will enhance the current share
accuracy.

6. Figure 3 shows the recommended airflow
direction, unit orientation and temperature
variation of three paralleled units with 10%
current share accuracy. Please note that the
maximum power available will be reduced by
up to 10% due to current share accuracy.

would be 350 W X 3unit X 90% derating =

voltage. Both input traces and the chassis ground
trace (if applicable) must be capable of conducting a
current of 1.5 times the value of the fuse without
opening. The fuse must not be placed in the
grounded input line, if any.
In order for the output of the QTS48T46096
converter to be considered as SELV (Safety Extra
Low Voltage) or TNV-1, according to all IEC60950
based standards, one of the following requirements
must be met in the system design:
•
•
If the voltage source feeding the module is SELV
or TNV, the output of the converter may be
grounded or ungrounded.
If the voltage source feeding the module is ELV,
the output of the converter may be considered
SELV only if the output is grounded per the
requirements of the standard.
This information is provided for guidance only
and the user is responsible for any design
considerations regarding safety.
•
Thermal Considerations
The QTS48T46096 converter is designed for natural
or forced convection cooling.
The maximum
allowable output current of the converter is
determined by meeting the derating criteria for all
components used in the converter. For example,
the maximum semiconductor junction temperature is
not allowed to exceed 125 °C to ensure reliable long-
term operation of the converter. Contact Power-One
for the complete list of the derating criteria.
The graph in Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the
maximum output current of the QTS48T46096
converter at different ambient temperatures under
both natural and forced (transverse airflow direction,
from pin 1 to pin 3) convection.
For example, the QTS48T46096 operating at 48Vin,
70 °C can deliver up to 33.6A reliably with 200 LFM
forced air.

Safety Considerations
The QTS48T46096 converter features 1500 Volt DC
isolation from input to output. The input-to-output
resistance is greater than 10 MΩ. This converter is
provided with functional insulation between input and
output circuits according to all IEC60950 based
standards. Nevertheless, if the system using the
converter needs to receive safety agency approval,
certain rules must be followed in the design of the
system. In particular, all of the creepage and
clearance requirements of the end-use safety
requirements must be observed. These documents
include UL60950 - CSA60950-00 and EN60950,
although other or additional requirements may be
needed for specific applications.
The QTS48T46096 converter has no internal fuse.
The external fuse must be provided to protect the
system from catastrophic failure. The fuse with a
rating not greater than 10 A is recommended. The
user can select a lower rating fuse based upon the
highest inrush transient at the maximum input
voltage and the maximum input current of the
converter, which occurs at the minimum input
