The SemiQ™ Family of dc-dc converters from provides a
high efficiency single output in a size that is only 60% of
industry-standard quarter-bricks, while preserving the
same pinout and functionality.
In high temperature environments, for output voltages
ranging from 3.3 V to 1.0 V, the thermal performance of
SemiQ™ converters exceeds that of most competitors' 20-
30 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 electric and thermal design, results
in a product with extremely high reliability.
Operating from an 18-36 V input, the SQ24 Series
converters of the SemiQ™ Family provide any standard
output voltage from 12 V down to 1.0 V. Outputs can be
trimmed from –20% to +10% of the nominal output voltage
(±10% for output voltages 1.2 V and 1.0 V), thus providing
outstanding design flexibility.
With a standard pinout and trim equations, the SQ24
Series converters are perfect drop-in replacements for
existing 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 SQ24 Series’ optimized thermal efficiency.

Operation
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 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 100 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
1000 µF on 12 V, 2,200 µF on 8.0 V, 10,000 µF on 5.0 V –
6.0 V, and 15,000 µF on 3.3 V – 1.0 V outputs.
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(-). Typical connections are
shown in Fig. A.

Fig. A: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF pin is
at logic high and turns off when at logic low. The converter is
on when the ON/OFF pin is left open.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is at logic
low and turns off when the pin is at 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.
ON/OFF pin is internally pulled-up to 5 V through a resistor.
A 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 of 0.8V. An external voltage source (±20V
maximum) may be connected directly to the ON/OFF input,
in which case it must be capable of sourcing or sinking up to
1mA 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).

Fig. B: Remote sense circuit configuration.
If remote sensing is not required, 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 value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current, large traces
on the end-user board are not required. However, sense
traces should be located close to a ground plane to minimize
system noise and insure optimum performance. When wiring
discretely, twisted pair wires should be used to connect the
sense lines to the load to reduce susceptibility to noise.
The converter’s output over-voltage 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 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 converter’s output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or
down 20% for Vout 1.5V, and ±10% for Vout = 1.2V and
1.0 V, relative to the rated output voltage by the addition of
an externally connected resistor. For output voltages 3.3V,
trim up to 10% is guaranteed only at Vin 20V, and it is
marginal (8% to 10%) at Vin = 18V depending on load
current.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not being
used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF 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

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 at least 17.5V for the converter to
turn on. Once the converter has been turned on, it will shut
off when the input voltage drops below 15V. This feature is
beneficial in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.
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 50% of the nominal value of output
voltage, the converter will shut down.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to restart
nominally every 100 ms with a typical 1-2% duty cycle. The
attempted restart will continue indefinitely until the overload
or short circuit conditions are removed or the output voltage
rises above 50% of its nominal value.
Output Overvoltage 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.
Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
The converter will shut down under an overtemperature
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 CAN/CSA C22.2,
No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 Second Edition, IEC/EN 60950-1
Second Edition. 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.

If one input fuse is used for a group of modules, the
maximum fuse rating should not exceed 15-A (SQ modules
are UL approved with up to a 15-A fuse).
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, Information technology equipment -
Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of
measurement.
With the addition of a simple external filter (see application
notes), all versions of the SQ24 Series of converters pass
the requirements of Class B conducted emissions per
EN55022 and FCC, and meet at a minimum, Class A
radiated emissions per EN 55022 and Class B per FCC Title
47CFR, Part 15-J. Please contact di/dt Applications
Engineering for details of this testing.
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 is associated with a specific
plot (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.
The following pages contain specific plots or waveforms
associated with the converter. Additional comments for
specific data are provided below.

Test Conditions
All data presented were taken with the converter soldered to
a test board, specifically a 0.060” thick printed wiring board
(PWB) with four layers. The top and bottom layers were not
metalized. The two inner layers, comprising two-ounce
copper, were used to provide traces for connectivity to the
converter.
The lack of metalization on the outer layers as well as the
limited thermal connection ensured that heat transfer from
the converter to the PWB was minimized. This provides a
worst-case but consistent scenario for thermal derating
purposes.
All measurements requiring airflow were made in vertical
and horizontal wind tunnel facilities using Infrared (IR)
thermography and thermocouples for thermometry.
Ensuring components on the converter do not exceed their
ratings is important to maintaining high reliability. If one
anticipates operating the converter at or close to the
maximum loads specified in the derating curves, it is prudent
to check actual operating temperatures in the application.
Thermographic imaging is preferable; if this capability is not
available, then thermocouples may be used. Power-One
recommends the use of AWG #40 gauge thermocouples to
ensure measurement accuracy. Careful routing of the
thermocouple leads will further minimize measurement error.
Refer to Figure H for optimum measuring thermocouple
location.
Thermal Derating
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are
given in Fig. x.1 for through-hole version. Ambient
temperature was varied between 25 °C and 85 °C, with
airflow rates from 30 to 500 LFM (0.15 to 2.5 m/s), and
vertical and horizontal converter mounting.
For each set of conditions, the maximum load current was
defined as the lowest of:
(i) The output current at which any FET junction temperature
did not exceed a maximum specified temperature (120 °C)
as indicated by the thermographic image, or
(ii) The nominal rating of the converter (4 A on 12 V, 5.3 A
on 8.0 V, 8 A on 6.0 V, 10 A on 5.0 V, and 15 A on
3.3 – 1.0 V).
During normal operation, derating curves with maximum FET
temperature less than or equal to 120 °C should not be
exceeded. Temperature on the PCB at the thermocouple
location shown in Fig. H should not exceed 118 °C in order
to operate inside the derating curves.
Fig. H: Location of the thermocouple for thermal testing.
Efficiency
Fig. x.5 shows the efficiency vs. load current plot for ambient
temperature of 25 ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5 m/s) with
vertical mounting and input voltages of 18 V, 24 V and 36 V.
Also, a plot of efficiency vs. load current, as a function of
ambient temperature with Vin = 24 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM
(1 m/s) with vertical mounting is shown in Fig. x.6.
Power Dissipation
Fig. x.7 shows the power dissipation vs. load current plot for
Ta = 25 ºC, airflow rate of 300 LFM (1.5 m/s) with vertical
mounting and input voltages of 18 V, 24 V and 36 V. Also, a
plot of power dissipation vs. load current, as a function of
ambient temperature with Vin = 24 V, airflow rate of 200 LFM
(1 m/s) with vertical mounting is shown in Fig. x.8.
Start-up
Output voltage waveforms, during the turn-on transient using
the ON/OFF pin for full rated load currents (resistive load)
are shown without and with external load capacitance in
Fig. x.9 and Fig. x.10, respectively.
Ripple and Noise
Fig. x.13 shows the output voltage ripple waveform,
measured at full rated load current with a 10 µF tantalum
and 1 µF ceramic capacitor across the output. Note that all
output voltage waveforms are measured across a 1 F
ceramic capacitor.
The input reflected ripple current waveforms are obtained
using the test setup shown in Fig x.14. The corresponding
waveforms are shown in Fig. x.15 and Fig. x.16.
