Description
The new Q2D series of dual output DC/DC converters offer unprecedented density and performance in an
industry standard, quarter-brick footprint. Patent pending technology and state-of-the-art packaging
techniques achieve a total of 30A (25A for 5V output) output current, 15A (10A for 5V output) per channel,
without a heatsink. Extremely low profile (<8mm or 0.30”) enables the converters to be used in applications
where spacing between circuit boards is limited. The 100% surface-mount design provides consistent high
quality and reliability. The SMT mounting option eliminates the need for separate (additional manual)
process in attaching the converters to the motherboards during mass production.

For the condition,

the total converter
start-up time (t

- t

) is typically 103ms. For
(t

start-up time will be typically 3ms after release of

ON/OFF pin arbitrarily disabled; converter
outputs fall to zero; turn-on inhibit delay
period (100ms typical) is initiated, and
ON/OFF pin action is internally inhibited.
t
2
ON/OFF pin is externally re-enabled.
If (t
2
- t
1
) = 100ms,
external action of
ON/OFF pin is locked out by start-up
inhibit timer.
If (t

ON/OFF pin action is
internally enabled.

Turn-on inhibit delay period ends. If ON/OFF
pin is ON, converter begins turn-on; if off,
converter awaits ON/OFF pin ON signal; see
