DESCRIPTION
The new
SSQE48T13050
DC-DC converter is an open frame sixteenth-brick DC-DC converter that conforms to the Distributed Open
Standards Architecture (DOSA) specifications. The converter operates over an input voltage range of 36 to 75VDC, and provides a
tightly regulated output voltage with an output current up to 13A. The output is fully isolated from the input and the converter meets
Basic Insulation requirements permitting a positive or negative output configuration.
The converter is constructed using a single-board approach with both planar and discrete magnetics. The standard feature set includes
remote On/Off (positive or negative logic), input undervoltage lockout, output overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuit protections,
output voltage trim, and overtemperature shutdown with hysteresis.
With standard pinout and trim equations and excellent thermal performance, the SSQE48T13050 converters can replace in most cases
existing eighth-brick converters. Inclusion of this converter in a new design can result in significant board space and cost savings.

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.
However, in some applications, the inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of the
converter can affect the stability of the converter. A 33 µ F electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1Ω across the input is
recommended to ensure stability of the converter over the wide range of input source impedance.
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 10,000 µ F.
2.2
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 and negative logic, both referenced to Vin(-). A typical connection is shown in Fig. A.

DATA SHEET
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic high and turns off when the pin is at a logic low. The
converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left open. See the Electrical Specifications 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 5 V through a resistor. A properly de-bounced 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 voltage 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 Startup Information
section for system timing waveforms associated with use of the ON/OFF pin.
2.3
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).

CAUTION
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 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 ensure optimum performance.
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, which is 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
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.
2.4
OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUST /TRIM (PIN 6)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down 20%. Trim up to 10% is guaranteed only at Vin ≥ 40V, and it is
approximately 8% to 10% at Vin = 36V.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µ F capacitor is connected
internally between the TRIM and SENSE(-) pins.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim resistor, RT-INCR, should be connected between the TRIM (Pin 6) and
SENSE(+) (Pin 7), with a value of:

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 overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit. The designer should ensure that the difference between
