Description
The new high temperature SQE48-Series of dc-dc converter provides a high efficiency single output in a physical
package that is only 62% the size of the industry-standard quarter-brick. Specifically designed for operation in
systems that have limited airflow and increased ambient temperatures, the SQE48-Series of converters utilizes the
same pinout and functionality of the industry-standard quarter-bricks.
The SQE48-Series of converters provides thermal performance in high temperature environments that exceeds
most competitors' 20 A quarter-bricks. This performance is accomplished through the use of patented/
patent-pending circuits, packaging, and processing techniques to achieve ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal
management, and a low-body profile.
Low-body profile and the preclusion of heat sinks minimize airflow shadowing, thus enhancing cooling for
downstream devices. The use of 100% automation for assembly, coupled with advanced electronic circuits, and
thermal design, results in a product with extremely high reliability.
The SQE48T20050 operates over an input voltage range of 36 to 75 VDC, and provides an output current up to
20 A with a standard output voltage of 5.0 VDC. The output can be trimmed from –20% to +10% of the nominal
output voltage, thus providing outstanding design flexibility.
With standard pinout and trim equations, the SQE48 converters are perfect drop-in replacements for the
competing quarter-brick designs. Inclusion of this converter in new designs can result in significant board space
and cost savings. The designer can expect reliability improvement over other available converters because of the
SQE48-Series’ optimized thermal efficiency.

Operations
Input and Output Impedance
These power converters have been designed to be
stable with no external capacitors when used in low
inductance input and output circuits.
In many applications, the inductance associated with
the distribution from the power source to the input of
the converter can affect the stability of the converter.
The addition of a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor with an
ESR < 1
Ω
across the input helps ensure stability of
the converter. In many applications, the user has to
use decoupling capacitance at the load. The power
converter will exhibit stable operation with external
load capacitance up to 10,000 µF on 5.0 V output.
Additionally, see the EMC section of this data sheet
for discussion of other external components which
may be required for control of conducted emissions
ON/OFF (Pin 2)
The device must be capable of sinking up to 0.2 mA
at a low level voltage of
≤
0.8 V. An external voltage
source (±20 V maximum) may be connected directly
to the ON/OFF input, in which case it must be
capable of sourcing or sinking up to 1 mA depending
on the signal polarity. See the Startup Information
section for system timing waveforms associated with
use of the ON/OFF pin.
Remote Sense (Pins 5 and 7)
The remote sense feature of the converter
compensates for voltage drops occurring between
the output pins of the converter and the load. The
SENSE(-) (Pin 5) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7) pins should
be connected at the load or at the point where
regulation is required (see Fig. B).

If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE(-) pin must be
connected to the Vout(-) pin (Pin 4), and the SENSE(+) pin
must be connected to the Vout(+) pin (Pin 8) to ensure the
converter will regulate at the specified output voltage. If these
connections are not made, the converter will deliver an
output voltage that is slightly higher than the specified data
sheet value.
Fig. A: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF
pin is at a logic high and turns off when at a logic
low. The converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left
open. See the Electrical Specifications for logic
high/low definitions.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is
at a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a logic
high. The ON/OFF pin can be hard wired directly to
Vin(-) to enable automatic power up of the converter
without the need of an external control signal.
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled up to 5 V
through a resistor. A properly de-bounced
mechanical switch, open-collector transistor, or FET
can be used to drive the input of the ON/OFF pin.
JUL 07, 2006 revised to APR 12, 2007
Because the sense leads carry minimal current,
large traces on the end-user board are not required.
However, sense traces should be run side by side
and located close to a ground plane to minimize
system noise and ensure optimum performance.
The converter’s output overvoltage protection (OVP)
senses the voltage across Vout(+) and Vout(-), and
not across the sense lines, so the resistance (and
resulting voltage drop) between the output pins of
the converter and the load should be minimized to
prevent unwanted triggering of the OVP.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must
be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable
output power capability of the converter, which is
equal to the product of the nominal output voltage
and the allowable output current for the given
conditions.

36-75 VDC Input; 5.0 VDC @ 20 A Output
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the
converter can be increased by as much as 10%
above the nominal rating in order to maintain the
required voltage across the load. Therefore, the
designer must, if necessary, decrease the maximum
current (originally obtained from the derating curves)
by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s
actual output power remains at or below the
maximum allowable output power.
Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 6)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down
20% relative to the rated output voltage by the
addition of an externally connected resistor.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not
being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF
capacitor is connected internally between the TRIM
and SENSE(-) pins.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim
resistor, R

Protection Features
Input Undervoltage Lockout
Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this
converter. The converter will shut down when the
input voltage drops below a pre-determined voltage.
The input voltage must be typically 34 V for the
converter to turn on. Once the converter has been
turned on, it will shut off when the input voltage
drops typically below 32 V. This feature is beneficial
in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.
Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The converter is protected against overcurrent or
short circuit conditions. Upon sensing an over-
current condition, the converter will switch to
constant current operation and thereby begin to
