Product Details

The PQ60120QTx12 PowerQor Tera quarter-brick converter is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the converter is so low that a heatsink is not required, which saves cost, weight, height, and application effort. All of the power and control components are mounted to the multi-layer PCB substrate with high-yield surface mount technology. Since the PowerQor converter has no explicit thermal interfaces, it is extremely reliable. The Tera series offers the maximum useable output current for any standard “quarter-brick” module.

Operational Features

• Ultra-high efficiency, 91% at full rated load current
• Delivers up to 12A of output current (144W) with minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V - 75V, with 100V 100ms input voltage transient capability
• Fixed frequenc switching provides predictable EMI performance
• No minimum load requirement means no preload resistors required

Mechanical Features

• Industry standard quarter-brick pin-out
• Size: 1.45” x 2.3” (36.8x58.4mm), height: 0.43” (10.92mm)
• Total open frame weight: 1.5 oz (42 g)

Control Features

• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and negative logic options are available)
• Remote sense for the Vout compensates for output distribution drops
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and voltage margining

Safety Features

• UL 60950-1:2007
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1:2007
• EN60950-1:A12:2011
• IEC 61000-4-2

Protection Features

• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low Vin conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection protects converter and load from permanent damage and consequent hazardous conditions.
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter from external load induced pre-bias
• Output over-voltage protection protects load form damaging voltages
• Thermal shutdown protects converter from
