C 04/01/11 Page 9 Technical Specification SQ60120ETA20 Application Section BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES CONTROL FEATURES With voltages dropping and currents rising, the economics of an Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) are becoming more attractive, especially in systems requiring multiple low voltages. IBA systems separate the role of isolation and voltage scaling from regulation and sensing. The BusQor series bus converter provides isolation and a coarse voltage step down in one compact module, leaving regulation to simpler, less expensive non-isolated converters. REMOTE ON/OFF (Pin 2): The ON/OFF input, Pin 2, permits the user to control when the converter is on or off. This input is referenced to the return terminal of the input bus, Vin(-). There are two versions of the converter that differ by the sense of the logic used for the ON/OFF input. In Figure A below, the BusQor module provides the isolation stage of the IBA system. The isolated bus then distributes power to the non-isolated buck regulators to generate the required voltage levels at the point of load. In this case, the bucks are represented with SynQor's NiQor series of nonisolated dc-dc converters. In many applications requiring multiple low voltage outputs, significant savings can be achieved in board space and overall system costs. In the positive logic version, the ON/OFF input is active high (meaning that a high turns the converter on). In the negative logic version, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning that a low turns the converter on). Figure B is a detailed look of the internal ON/OFF circuitry. When designing an IBA system with bus converters, the designer can select from a variety of bus voltages. While there is no universally ideal bus voltage, most designs employ one of the following: 12V, 9V, 7.5V, 5V, or 3.3V. Higher bus voltages can lead to lower efficiency for the buck regulators but are more efficient for the bus converter and provide lower board level distribution current. Lower bus voltages offer the opposite trade offs. SynQor's SQ BusQor modules accept the full 48/60V telecom bus voltage and have a narrow output voltage range compatible with many non-isolated point of load converters. When used in IBA systems, the output variation of the BusQor must be in accordance with the input voltage range of the non-isolated converters being employed. 3.3V 48Vdc 36-75V 2.5V BusQor Converter 12Vdc Vin(+) 1.8V +5V +5V 5V 5V 124k 124k 1.5V 0.9V Typical User Board NiQor Converters ON/OFF 49.9k 49.9k TTL Loads 100k 100k 48Vdc Front End Vin(_) Figure A: Example of Intermediate Bus Architecture using BusQor bus converter and NiQor non-isolated converters Product # SQ60120ETA20 Phone 1-888-567-9596 Figure B: Internal ON/OFF pin circuitry www.synqor.com Doc.# 005-0005817 Rev. C 04/01/11 Page 10 Technical Specification SQ60120ETA20 Application Section Protection Features Input Under-Voltage Lockout: The converter is designed to turn off when the input voltage is too low, helping avoid an input system instability problem, described in more detail in the application note titled "Input System Instability" available on www.SynQor.com. The lockout circuitry is a comparator with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage is rising, it must exceed the typical Turn-On Voltage Threshold value (listed on the specification page) before the converter will turn on. Once the converter is on, the input voltage must fall below the typical Turn-Off Voltage Threshold value before the converter will turn off. Also see Fig E. Output Current Limit: The output of the BusQor module is electronically protected against output overloads. When an overload current greater than the "DC Current-Limit Inception" specification is drawn from the output, the output of the BusQor will shutdown to zero volts after the 1ms have elapsed (see Fig C). The shutdown period lasts for a typical period of 200ms (Fig D) after which the BusQor tries to power up again. If the overload persists, the output voltage will go through repeated cycles of shutdown and restart with a duty cycle of 20ms (On) and 200ms (Off) respectively. The BusQor module returns (auto resetting) to normal operation once the overload is removed. The BusQor is designed to survive in this mode indefinitely without damage and without human intervention. Output Short Circuit Protection: When the output of the BusQor module is shorted, a peak current of typically 55A will flow into the short circuit for a time of about 1ms. The output of the BusQor will shutdown to zero volts after the 1ms have elapsed (Fig C & D). The shutdown period lasts for a time of 200ms, at the end of which the BusQor module tries to power up again. If the short circuit persists, the output voltage will go through repeated cycles of shutdown and restart with a duty cycle of 20ms (On) and 200ms (Off) respectively. The BusQor module returns (auto resetting) to normal operation once the short circuit is removed. The BusQor is designed to survive in this mode indefinitely without damage and without human intervention. In the Auto resetting mode, also referred to as "Hiccup" mode, the power drawn from the 48V input is about 5W, most of which is dissipated into the external fault. It is important that copper traces and pads from the output circuit be designed to withstand the short term peaks, although the average current into the fault may be as low as 50mA typical. See Fig 17 for appropriate waveform. Over-Temperature Shutdown: A temperature sensor on the converter senses the average temperature of the module. The thermal shutdown circuit is designed to turn the converter off when the temperature at the sensed location reaches the Over-Temperature Shutdown value. It will allow the converter to turn on again when the temperature of the sensed location falls by the amount of the Over-Temperature Shutdown Restart Hysteresis value.

C 04/01/11 Page 11 Technical Specification SQ60120ETA20 Application Section APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS Startup Inhibit Period: Figure E details the Start-Up Inhibit Period for the BusQor module when Vin is applied with the On/Off pin asserted (enabled). Before time t1, when the input voltage Off pin asserted (enabled). Before time t1, when the input voltage is below the UVL threshold, the unit is disabled by the Input Under-Voltage Lockout feature. When the input voltage rises above the UVL threshold, the Input Under-Voltage Lockout is released, and a typical Startup Inhibit Period of 8ms from a Vin start-up. Once the module recognizes it should be on it waits an additional 4ms before it starts. When starting from an on/ off event the module has an inhibit time of 200ms like our standard products. The output builds up to 90% or higher of the nominal voltage and stabilizes to its nominal output voltage in a total time of 15ms typical. At time t2, when the On/Off pin is de-asserted (disabled), the BusQor module stops switching immediately. Fall time from 12V to 0V is dependent on output capacitance load current, and any parasitic trace inductance in the output load circuit. At time t3, when the On/Off pin is re-asserted (enabled), the BusQor module output begins to build up after the inhibit period of 200ms typical.

C 04/01/11 Page 12 Technical Specification SQ60120ETA20 Application Section Droop Current Sharing: This product has primary side regulation only. Primary side regulation results in a voltage droop as the load current increase (droop characteristic). The inherent impedance of the power stage due to its droop characteristic can be used to balance the load current between multiple modules that are placed in parallel. The graphs in this section show two units by way of example, but there is no fundamental limit to the number of units that can be placed in parallel. When multiple units having droop characteristics are placed in parallel, the current sharing accuracy is determined by the output voltage set point accuracy relative to the total output voltage droop for a given load current range. A difference in voltage between two units will cause a differential current to flow out of one unit and into the other. Figure F shows an example with two units with an output voltage mismatched by 0.5%. In this example, when Unit A is at 100% of its full rated load current, Unit B is only at 90%, effectively reducing the total available current by 5%. SynQor uses factory calibration of each unit to ensure that output voltage is well matched. Temperature Mismatch Self Balancing: the slope of the output voltage droop characteristic of semi regulated module increases with increased temperature. Therefore, if a paralleled unit were hotter than its neighbor because it is supplying more load current, then its output voltage will droop further forcing the cooler module(s) to increase its load current. The increase in effective output resistance due to an increase in temperature acts as a self correcting mechanism (Fig G) when two or more modules are connected in a parallel configuration.
