Description
The
20A SemiQ™ Family
of DC-DC converters provide a high efficiency single output in a size that is only 60% of
industry-standard quarter bricks, while preserving the same pinout and functionality.
The
20A SQM48 Series
converters of the
SemiQ™ Family
provide thermal performance in high temperature
environments that exceeds most competitors' 20-25 A quarter-bricks. This is accomplished through the use of
patent 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 heat sinks minimize airflow shadowing, thus enhancing cooling for
downstream devices. The use of 100% automation for assembly, coupled with advanced electronic circuits and
thermal design, results in a product with extremely high reliability.
Operating from a 36-75 V input, the
20A SQM48 Series
converters provide any standard output voltage from
3.3 V down to 1.2 V. Outputs can be trimmed from –20% to +10% of the nominal output voltage (±10% for output
voltage 1.2 V), thus providing outstanding design flexibility.
With a standard pinout and trim equations, the
SQM48 Series
converters are perfect drop-in replacements for
existing 20 A quarter brick designs. Inclusion of this converter in new designs 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 improvement over other available converters because of the
SQM48 Series’
optimized thermal efficiency.

36-75 VDC Input; 1.2-3.3 VDC @ 20A Outputs
Operations
Input and Output Impedance
These power converters have been designed to be
stable with no external capacitors when used in low
inductance input and output circuits.
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 addition of a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor with an
ESR < 1 across the input helps ensure stability of
the converter. In many applications, the user has to
use decoupling capacitance at the load. The power
converter will exhibit stable operation with external
load capacitance up to 20,000 µF on 3.3 – 1.2 V
outputs.
Additionally, see the EMC section of this data sheet
for discussion of other external components which
may be required for control of conducted emissions
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 control options available, positive logic and
negative logic and both are referenced to Vin(-). A
typical connection is shown in Fig. A.
of
0.8 V. An external voltage source (±20 V
maximum) may be connected directly to the ON/OFF
input, in which case it must be capable of sourcing or
sinking up to 1 mA depending on the signal polarity.
See the Start-up Information 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 converter 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).

If remote sensing is not utilized, 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 data sheet
value.

Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large
traces on the end-user board are not required.
However, sense traces should be run side by side and
located close to a ground plane to minimize system
noise and insure optimum performance.
When using the remote sense function, the
converter’s output overvoltage 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 capability of the converter, equal to the product
of the nominal output voltage and the allowable output
current for the given conditions.
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the
converter 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

Fig. A:
Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF
pin is at a logic high and turns off when at a logic low.
The converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left
open. See table, page 2 for logic high/low definitions.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is at
a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a 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.
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled-up to 5V through
a resistor. A properly debounced 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 0.2mA at a low level voltage

current (originally obtained from the derating curves)
by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s
actual output power remains at or below the
maximum allowable output power.
Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 6)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down
20% for Vout
≥
1.5V, and
±10%
for Vout = 1.2V
relative to the rated output voltage by the addition of
an externally connected resistor. For output voltage
3.3V, trim up to 10% is guaranteed only at Vin
≥
40V,
and it is marginal (8% to 10%) at Vin = 36V
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not
being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1µF
capacitor is connected internally between the TRIM
and SENSE(-) pins.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim

Protection Features

Input Undervoltage Lockout
Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this
converter. The converter will shut down when the
input voltage drops below a pre-determined voltage.
The input voltage must be typically 34 V for the
converter to turn on. Once the converter has been
turned on, it will shut off when the input voltage drops
typically below 32 V. This feature is beneficial in
preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.

When trimming up, care must be taken not to exceed
the converter‘s maximum allowable output power.
See previous section for a complete discussion of
this requirement.
To decrease the output voltage (Fig. D), a trim
resistor, R
T-DECR
, should be connected between the
TRIM (Pin 6) and SENSE(-) (Pin 5), with a value of:

36-75 VDC Input; 1.2-3.3 VDC @ 20A Outputs
Output Protections
All output circuit protection features are non-latching
and operate in a “hiccup” mode. After an output
protection event occurs, the converter will be turned
off, and held off for approximately 100 ms after
which, the protection circuit will reset and the
converter will attempt to restart. If the fault is still
present, the converter will repeat the above action.
Once the fault is removed, the converter will start
normally.
Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The converter is protected against overcurrent or
short-circuit conditions. Upon sensing an overcurrent
condition, the converter will switch to constant
current operation and thereby begin to reduce output
voltage. When the output voltage drops below
40-50% of the nominal value of output voltage, the
converter will shut down (Fig. x.11).
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to
restart nominally every 100 ms with a typical 1-2%
duty cycle (Fig. x.12). The attempted restart will
continue indefinitely until the overload or short circuit
conditions are removed or the output voltage rises
above 40-50% of its nominal value.
Once the output current is brought back into its
specified range, the converter automatically exits the
hiccup mode and continues normal operation.
Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The converter will shut down if the output voltage
across Vout(+) (Pin 8) and Vout(-) (Pin 4) exceeds
the threshold of the OVP circuitry. The OVP circuitry
contains its own reference, independent of the output
voltage regulation loop. Once the converter has shut
down, it will attempt to restart every 100 ms until the
OVP condition is removed.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The converter will shut down under an over-
temperature condition to protect itself from
overheating caused by operation outside the thermal
derating curves, or operation in abnormal conditions
such as system fan failure. After the converter has
cooled to a safe operating temperature, it will
automatically restart.
Safety Requirements
The converters meet North American and
International safety regulatory requirements per
UL60950 and EN60950. Basic Insulation is provided
between input and output.
To comply with safety agencies requirements, an
input line fuse must be used external to the converter.
The Table below provides the recommended fuse
rating for use with this family of products.
Output Voltage
3.3V
2.5 -1.8V
1.5 - 1.2V

2A
All SQM converters are UL approved for maximum
fuse rating of 15 A. To protect a group of converters
with a single fuse, the rating can be increased from
the recommended values above.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC requirements must be met at the end-product
system level, as no specific standards dedicated to
EMC characteristics of board mounted component dc-
dc converters exist. However, Power-One tests its
converters to several system level standards, primary
of which is the more stringent EN55022,

Characterization
General Information
The converter has been characterized for many
operational aspects, to include thermal derating
(maximum load current as a function of ambient
temperature and airflow) for vertical and horizontal
mounting, efficiency, start-up and shutdown
parameters, output ripple and noise, transient
response to load step-change, overload and short
circuit.
The figures are numbered as Fig. x.y, where x
indicates the different output voltages, and y
associates with specific plots (y = 1 for the vertical
thermal derating, …). For example, Fig. x.1 will refer
to the vertical thermal derating for all the output
voltages in general.
