For low-voltage, high-current power . . . in the smallest space . . . over the widest
temperature range . . . call on DATEL’s USQ Series 20 Amp "quarter bricks." Occupy-
ing the industry-standard package (1.45" x 2.28" x 0.40") and pinout, USQ’s house
their fully-synchronous, forward design topology in a "two-board" assembly crowned
with a heat-sink-compatible aluminum baseplate. This combination of outstanding
thermal and electrical efficiencies endows USQ’s with industry-leading, thermal-
derating performance. The 1.8V
OUT
model, for example, delivers its full 20 Amps up to
+55°C with a mere 200 lfm air flow.
USQ’s achieve all the performance metrics required for contemporary, on-board
power processing: high isolation (1500Vdc), superior efficiency (to 91%), tight regula-
tion (to
±0.05%
max. line and load), low noise (to 50mVp-p), quick step response
(200µsec), and an array of protection features. I/O protection includes input under-
voltage lockout and reverse-polarity protection, as well as output overvoltage pro-
tection, current limiting, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The USQ
functionality suite includes remote on/off control (positive or negative polarity), output
trim (+10/–20%), and output sense functions.
All USQ DC/DC’s are designed to meet the BASIC insulation requirements of
UL1950 and EN60950, and all 48 Volt models will carry the CE mark. Safety certifica-
tions, as well as EMC compliance testing and qualification testing (including HALT)
have been successfully completed. Contact DATEL for copies of the latest reports.

noted. All models are tested and specified with external output capacitors (1µF ceramic in
parallel with 10µF tantalum).
➁
Contact DATEL for fixed output voltages (such as 2, 6.5, –5.2V) or higher output currents
(such as 12V @ 12.5A) other than those listed.
➂
Ripple/Noise (R/N) is tested/specified over a 20MHz bandwidth. Output noise may be further
reduced with the installation of additional external output filtering. See I/O Filtering, Input
Ripple Current, and Output Noise for details.
➃
The load-regulation specs apply over the 0-100% range. All models in the USQ Series have
no minimum-load requirements and will regulate within spec under no-load conditions (with
perhaps a slight increase in ripple/noise). Additionally, 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 5V models
are unconditionally stable, including start-up and short-circuit-shutdown situations, with
capacitive loads up to 25,000µF. The 12V,15V,18V and 24V models are unconditionally stable
with capacitive loads up to 470µF at full load.
➄
Contact DATEL for V

All models are tested and specified with external output capacitors (1µF ceramic in parallel
with 10µF tantalum), unless otherwise noted. These converters have no minimum-load require
ments and will effectively regulate under no-load conditions.
Contact DATEL for input voltage ranges (18-36V, 24V nominal) other than those listed.
See Absolute Maximum Ratings for allowable input voltages.
See Technical Notes/Performance Curves for additional explanations and details.
Input Ripple Current is tested/specified over a 5-20MHz bandwidth with an external 33µF input
capacitor and a simulated source impedance of 220µF and 12µH. See I/O Filtering, Input
Ripple Current and Output Noise for details. The 24V input models can benefit by increasing the
33µF external input capacitance to 100µF, if the application has a high source impedance.
The On/Off Control is designed to be driven with open-collector (or equivalent) logic or the
application of appropriate voltages (referenced to –Input (pin 1)). See Remote On/Off Control
for more details.
USQ Series DC/DC converters are unconditionally stable, including start-up and short-circuit-
shutdown situations, with capacitive loads up to 25,000µF (470µF for 12V, 15V, 18V and 24V
models at full load).
Extreme Accuracy refers to the accuracy of either trimmed or untrimmed output voltages over
all normal operating ranges and combinations of input voltage, output load and temperature.
See Output Trimming for detailed trim equations.
The Current-Limit Inception point is the output current level at which the USQ’s power-limiting
circuitry drops the output voltage 10% from its initial value. See Output Current Limiting and
Short-Circuit Protection for more details.
See Dynamic Load Response under Technical Notes for detailed results including switching
frequencies. DATEL has performed extensive evaluations of Dynamic Load Response. In addi
tion to the 10µF || 1µF external capacitors, specifications are also given for 220µF || 1µF
external output capacitors for quick comparison purposes.
For the Start-Up Time specifications, output settling is defined by the output voltage having
reached ±1% of its final value.
MTBF’s are calculated using Telcordia (Bellcore) Method 1 Case 3, ground fixed conditions,
+40°C case temperature, and full-load conditions. Contact DATEL for demonstrated life-test data.
All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including "cold start," at –40°C.

simulate a typical dc voltage bus. Your specific
system configuration may necessitate additional considerations.
In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and
random deviations or PARD) can be reduced below specified limits using
filtering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional
external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter elements
and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appropriate
frequency response. In Figure 3, the two copper strips simulate real-world
pcb impedances between the power supply and its load. Scope measurements
should be made using BNC connectors or the probe ground should be less
than ½ inch and soldered directly to the fixture.
All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be
located as close to the converter as possible. Temperature variations for all
relevant parameters should be taken into consideration. OS-CON
TM
organic
semiconductor capacitors (www.sanyo.com) can be especially effective for
further reduction of ripple/noise.
The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function
of line voltage and source impedance, as well as particular load and layout
conditions. Our Applications Engineers can recommend potential solutions
and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given device’s internal filtering
to meet your specific requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering
Group for additional details.

These are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to any of these conditions may adversely
affect long-term reliability. Proper operation under conditions other than those listed in the
Performance/Functional Specifications Table is not implied, nor recommended.
TECHNICAL NOTES
Removal of Soldered USQ's from PCB's
Should removal of the USQ from its soldered connection be needed, it is very
important to thoroughly de-solder the pins using solder wicks or de-soldering
tools. At no time should any prying or leverage be used to remove boards that
have not been properly de-soldered first.
Input Source Impedance
USQ converters must be driven from a low ac-impedance input source.
The DC/DC’s performance and stability can be compromised by the use of
highly inductive source impedances. The input circuit shown in Figure 2 is a
practical solution that can be used to minimize the effects of inductance in
the input traces. For optimum performance, components should be mounted
close to the DC/DC converter. The 24V models can benefit by increasing
the 33µF external input capacitors to 100µF, if the application has a high
source impedance.
I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise
All models in the USQ Series are tested/specified for input ripple current (also
called input reflected ripple current) and output noise using the circuits and
layout shown in Figures 2 and 3.

Standard USQ DC/DC converters do not feature overvoltage shutdown.
They are equipped with this function, however. Many of our customers need
their devices to withstand brief input surges to 100V without shutting down.
Consequently, we disabled the function. Please contact us if you would like it
enabled, at any voltage, for your application.
Start-Up Threshold and Undervoltage Shutdown
Under normal start-up conditions, the USQ Series will not begin to regulate
properly until the ramping input voltage exceeds the Start-Up Threshold.
Once operating, devices will turn off when the applied voltage drops below
the Undervoltage Shutdown point. Devices will remain off as long as the
undervoltage condition continues. Units will automatically re-start when the
applied voltage is brought back above the Start-Up Threshold. The hyster-
esis built into this function avoids an indeterminate on/off condition at a single
input voltage. See Performance/Functional Specifications table for actual limits.

a ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold voltage and the
point at which the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within it
specified
±1%
accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input
source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final
value of the input voltage as it appears to the converter.The On/Off to V
OUT
Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the Remote On/Off
Control with the nominal input voltage already applied. The specification
defines the interval between the point at which the converter is turned on
(released) and the point at which the fully loaded output voltage enters and
remains within its specified
±1%
accuracy band.
On/Off Control
The primary-side, Remote On/Off Control function (pin 2) can be specified to
operate with either positive or negative polarity. Positive-polarity devices ("P"
suffix) are enabled when pin 2 is left open or is pulled high (+2.5-5V applied
with respect to –Input, pin 1, I
IN
< 150µA typical). Positive-polarity devices are
disabled when pin 2 is pulled low (0-0.8V with respect to –Input, I
IN
< 800µA.
Negative-polarity devices are off when pin 2 is high/open and on when pin 2
is pulled low. See Figure 4.

of 5 to 15 milliseconds, the PWM will restart, causing the output voltages to begin
ramping to their appropriate values. If the short-circuit condition persists,
another shutdown cycle will be initiated. This on/off cycling is referred to
as “hiccup” mode. The hiccup cycling reduces the average output current,
thereby preventing internal temperatures from rising to excessive levels. The
USQ is capable of enduring an indefinite short circuit output condition.
Thermal Shutdown
USQ converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If the internal
temperature of the DC/DC converter rises above the designed operating tem-
perature (See Performance Specifications), a precision temperature sensor
will power down the unit. When the internal temperature decreases below
the threshold of the temperature sensor, the unit will self start.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output voltage is monitored for an overvoltage condition via magnetic
coupling to the primary side. If the output voltage rises to a fault condition,
which could be damaging to the load circuitry (see Performance Specifica-
tions), the sensing circuitry will power down the PWM controller causing
the output voltage to decrease. Following a time-out period the PWM will
restart, causing the output voltage to ramp to its appropriate value. If the
fault condition persists, and the output voltages again climb to excessive
levels, the overvoltage circuitry will initiate another shutdown cycle. This
on/off cycling is referred to as "hiccup" mode.
Input Reverse-Polarity Protection
If the input-voltage polarity is accidentally reversed, an internal diode will
become forward biased and likely draw excessive current from the power
source. If the source is not current limited (<5A) nor the circuit appropriately
fused, it could cause permanent damage to the converter.
Input Fusing
Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of
fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. Fuses should also be
used if the possibility of a sustained, non-current-limited, input-voltage polar-
ity reversal exists. For DATEL USQ Series DC/DC Converters, slow-blow
fuses are recommended with values no greater than the following:

Figure 4. Driving the Remote On/Off Control Pin
Dynamic control of the remote on/off function is best accomplished with
a mechanical relay or an open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically
isolated if appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate
current (see Performance Specifications) when activated and withstand
appropriate voltage when deactivated.
Current Limiting
When power demands from the output falls within the current limit inception
range for the rated output current, the DC/DC converter will go into a current
limiting mode. In this condition the output voltage will decrease propor-
tionately with increases in output current, thereby maintaining a somewhat
constant power dissipation. This is commonly referred to as power limiting.
Current limit inception is defined as the point where the full-power output
voltage falls below the specified tolerance. If the load current being drawn
from the converter is significant enough, the unit will go into a short circuit
condition. See “Short Circuit Condition.”
Short Circuit Condition
When a converter is in current limit mode the output voltages will drop as
the output current demand increases. If the output voltage drops too low, the
magnetically coupled voltage used to develop primary side voltages will also
drop, thereby shutting down the PWM controller. Following a time-out period
See Performance Specifications for Input Current and Inrush Transient limits.
Trimming Output Voltage
USQ converters have a trim capability (pin 6) that enables users to adjust
the output voltage from +10% to –20% (refer to the trim equations and trim
graphs that follow). Adjustments to the output voltage can be accomplished
with a single fixed resistor as shown in Figures 5 and 6. A single fixed resis-
tor can increase or decrease the output voltage depending on its connection.
Resistors should be located close to the converter and have TCR's less than
100ppm/°C to minimize sensitivity to changes in temperature. If the trim
function is not used, leave the trim pin open.
