Description
The QW030-Series P o wer Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage range of 36 Vdc to
75 Vdc and provide precisely regulated dc outputs. The outputs are fully isolated from the inputs, allowing ver-
satile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules have maximum power ratings of 30 W to
36 W at a typical full-load efficiency of up to 88%.
These encapsulated modules off er a metal case for optimum thermal performance. Threaded-through holes are
provided to allow easy mounting or addition of a heat sink for high-temperature applications. The standard feature
set includes remote sensing, output trim, and remote on/off for conv enient flexibility in distributed power
applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
ex tended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
* Maximum case temperature v aries based on power dissipation. See power derating curv es for details.
Electrical Specifications
Unless otherwise indicated, specifications apply over all operating input voltage, resistive load, and temperature
conditions.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal
fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse.
The safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A (see Safety Considerations section).
Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same
type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturers data for further information.

QW030xx DUAL Series Power Modules: dc-dc Converters;
Design Considerations (continued)
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the power mod-
ule. If the input source inductance exceeds 4 µH, a
33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 ¾ at 100 kHz)
mounted close to the power module helps ensure sta-
bility of the unit.
Safety Considerations
QW Modules
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e.,
UL
60950,
CSA
C22.2 No. 60950-00, and
VDE
0805 (IEC60950).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75 Vdc), for the modules output to be considered
meeting the requirements of safety ex tra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any hazardous voltages, including the
ac mains.
One VI pin and one VO pin are to be grounded, or
both the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
The input pins of the module are not operator acces-
sible.
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system, as required by the saf ety agencies, on
the combination of supply source and the subject
module to verify that under a single fault, hazardous
voltages do not appear at the module s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output pins.
This may allow a non-SELV voltage to appear
between the output pin and ground.
The power module has e xtra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maxi-
mum 5 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
Feature Descriptions
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condi-
tion, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry and can endure current limiting for an unlim-
ited duration. At the point of current-limit inception, the
unit shifts from voltage control to current control. If the
output voltage is pulled very low during a severe fault,
the current-limit circuit can exhibit either foldback or
tailout characteristics (output-current decrease or
increase). The unit operates normally once the output
current is brought back into its specified range.
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
remote on/off turns the module on during a logic-high
voltage on the remote ON/OFF pin, and off during a
logi c lo w. Ne gat iv e lo gic re mote on/o ff , de vi ce co de suf -
fix 1, turns the module off during logic-high voltage
and on during a logic low.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must
supply a switch to control the voltage between the
on/off terminal and the VI() ter mi nal (Von/off). The
switch ma y be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 4). A logic low is Von/off = 0.7 V to 1.2 V. The
maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch
should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking 1 mA.
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off generated by
the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 15 V is 50 µA.

Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment
(Trim)
Output voltage trim allows the user to increase or
decrease the output voltage set point of a module. This
is accomplished by connecting an external resistor
between the TRIM pin and either the V01(+) or V02()
pins. The trim resistor should be positioned close to the
module.
If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open.
With an external resistor between the TRIM and V01(+)
pins (Radj-up), the output voltage set point (VO, adj)
increases (see Figure 5). The following equation deter-
mines the required external-resistor value to obtain a
change in output voltage from VO, nom to VO, adj.
With an external resistor connected between the TRIM
and V02() pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point
(VO, adj) decreases (see Figure 6).
The following equation determines the required exter-
nal-resistor value to obtain a change in output voltage
from VO, nom to VO, adj.
The voltage between the VO1(+)and Com., and
VO2()and Com. terminals must not e xceed the mini-
mum output overvoltage protection value shown in the
Feature Specifications table. This limit includes any
increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation
and output v oltage set-point adjustment (trim). See Fig-
ure 5.
Consult your Tyco Electronics Account Manager or
Application Engineer if the output voltage needs to be
increased more than the above limitation.
The amount of power delivered by the module is
defined as the v oltage at the output terminals multiplied
by the output current. When using trim, the output volt-
age of the module can be increased, which at the same
output current would increase the power output of the
module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maxi-
mum output power of the module remains at or below
the maximum rated power.

Output Overvoltage Protection
The output overvoltage clamp consists of control
circuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop,
that monitors the voltage on the output terminals. This
control loop has a higher voltage set point than the
primary loop (see the Feature Specifications table). In
a fault condition, the overvoltage clamp ensures that
the output voltage does not exceed VO, clamp, max. This
provides a redundant voltage-control that reduces the
risk of output overvoltage.
Overtemp erature Protection
These modules feature overtemperature protection to
safeguard the modules against thermal damage.
When the temperature exceeds the overtemperature
thresho ld given in the fea t ure spe cifi cat ion s table, the
module will limit the available output current in order to
help protect against thermal damage. The overcurrent
inception point will gradually move back to its original
level as the module is cooled below the overtempera-
ture threshold.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout
limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will
begin to operate at an input voltage between the under-
voltage lockout limit and the minimum operating input
voltage.
Thermal Considerations
Introduction
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are ther-
mally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduc-
tion, convection, and radiation to the surrounding
environment. Proper cooling can be verified by mea-
suring the case temperature. The case temperature
should be measured at the position indicated in
Figure 7.
8-2104.a
Note: Top view, pin locations are for reference only.
Measurements shown in millimeters and (inches).
Figure 7. QW030-Series Case Temperature
Measurement Location
The temperature at this location should not exceed
105 °C. The output power of the module should not
exceed the rated power for the module as listed in the
Ordering Information table.
Although the maximum case temperature of the power
modules is 105 °C, you can limit this temperature to a
lower value for extremely high reliability.

Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figures 8 and 10 show the
maximum power that can be dissipated by the module
without e xceeding the maximum case temperature ver-
sus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural convec-
tion through 3 m/s (600 ft./min.).
Systems in which these power modules may be used
typically generate natural convection airflow rates of
0.3 ms1 (60 ft./min.) due to other heat-dissipating com-
ponents in the system. Therefore, the natural conv ec-
tion condition represents airflow rates of up to 0.3 ms1
(60 ft./min.). Use of Figure 8 is shown in the following
example.
Example
What is the minimum airflow necessary for a
QW030BK operating at VI = 48 V, an output current of
1.5 A, each and a maximum ambient temperature of 89
°C?
Solution
Given: VI = 48 V

exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in.-lb.). For a screw attachment
from the pin side, the recommended hole size on the
customers PWB around the mounting holes is 0.130
± 0.005 inches. The mounting torque from the pin side
must not exceed 0.25 N-m (2.2 in.-lbs.).
Thermal derating with heat sinks is expressed by using
the overall thermal resistance of the module. Total
module thermal resistance (θca) is defined as the max-
imum case temperature rise (TC, max) divided by the
module power dissipation (PD):
The location to measure case temperature (TC) is
shown in Figure 7. Consult your Tyco Electronics
Account Manager or Application Engineer for case-to-
ambient thermal resistance vs. airflow for various heat
sink configurations, heights, and orientations. Longitu-
dinal orientation is defined as the long axis of the mod-
ule that is parallel to the airflow direction, whereas in
the transverse orientation, the long axis is perpendicu-
lar to the airflow. These curves are obtained by experi-
mental testing of heat sinks, which are offered in the
product catalog.
These measured resistances are from heat transfer
from the sides and bottom of the module as well as the
top side with the attached heat sink; therefore, the
case-to-ambient thermal resistances shown are gener-
ally lower than the resistance of the heat sink by itself.
The module used to collect the data in the case-to-
ambient thermal resistance curves had a thermal-con-
ductive dry pad between the case and the heat sink to
minimize contact resistance.
Custom Heat Sinks
A more detailed model can be used to determine the
required thermal resistance of a heat sink to provide
necessary cooling. The total module resistance can be
separated into a resistance from case-to-sink (θcs) and
sink-to-ambient (θsa) as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. QW030-Series Resistance from Case-to-
Sink and Sink-to-Ambient
For a managed interface using thermal grease or foils,
a value of θcs = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical. The
solution for heat sink resistance is:
This equation assumes that all dissipated power must
be shed by the heat sink. Depending on the user-
defined application environment, a more accurate
model, including heat transfer from the sides and bot-
tom of the module, can be used. This equation pro-
vides a conservative estimate for such instances.
Layout Considerations
Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power
module standoffs. F or additional lay out guidelines, ref er
to the FLTR100V10 or FLTR100V20 data sheet.
