DC/DC Converter
The PQ60120HPA20 PowerQor
™
Peta half-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. The Peta series converters offer
industry leading output current for a standard “half-brick”
module. In addition to typical single ouput voltage
applications, the Peta units can also be used to provide a
wide input range Intermediate Bus for IBA systems.
Operational Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, 92.5% at full rated load
• Delivers up to 240 Watts of output power (20A) with
minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V, with 100V
100ms input voltage transient capability
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable
EMI performance
PQ60120HPA20 Module
Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low
input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter
from external load induced pre-bias
• Output over-voltage protection
• Thermal shutdown
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard pin-out configuration
• Industry standard size: 2.3” x 2.4” (58.4 x 61.0mm)
• Total height only 0.43” (10.8mm), permits better
airflow and smaller card pitch
• Total weight: 2.7 oz. (75 grams)
Safety Features
• 2000V, 30 M
W
input-to-output isolation (optional
modules available with 2,250V isolation)
• UL 60950 recognized (US & Canada), basic
insulation rating
• TUV certified to EN60950
• Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives
• Meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements
Control Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and
negative logic options are available)
• Remote sense for the output voltage compensates for
output distribution drops
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and
voltage margining

soldering (avoiding the wave soldering process) through
the use of the flanged pin-in-paste technique.
