Features
Description
The SemiQ™ Family of DC-DC converters provide a high-efficiency single output in a size that is only 60% of
industry-standard quarter-bricks, while preserving the same pinout and functionality.
In high-temperature environments, the thermal performance of SemiQ™ converters exceeds that of most
competitors' quarter-bricks. This is accomplished through the use of patent pending circuit, packaging and
processing techniques to achieve ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal management, and a very 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 electrical and thermal
design results in a product with extremely high reliability.
With a standard pinout and trim equations, the SQ24 Series converters are perfect drop-in replacements for
existing quarter-brick designs. Inclusion of this converter in new designs can result in significant board space and
cost savings. The device is also available in a surface mount package.
In both cases the designer can expect reliability improvement over other available converters because of the
SQ24 Series’ optimized thermal efficiency.

Operation
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.
However, 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 100 µF
electrolytic capacitor with an ESR < 1
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 1000 µF.
ON/OFF (Pin 2)
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter
on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two
remote control options available, positive logic and
negative logic and both are referenced to Vin(-).
Typical connections are shown in Fig. A.
Vin (+)
sinking up to 1 mA depending on the signal polarity.
See the Start-up 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).

Vout (-)
If remote sensing is not required, 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 value.
Because the sense leads carry minimal current,
large traces on the end-user board are not required.
However, sense traces should be located close to a
ground plane to minimize system noise and insure
optimum performance. When wiring discretely,
twisted pair wires should be used to connect the
sense lines to the load to reduce susceptibility to
noise.
The converter’s output over-voltage 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, equal to the
product of the nominal output voltage and the
allowable output current for the given conditions.
Fig. A:
Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF
pin is at logic high and turns off when at logic low.
The converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left

.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is
at logic low and turns off when the pin is at 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 mechanical switch, open
collector transistor, or FET can be used to drive the
input of the ON/OFF pin. 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 of

19-36 VDC Input; 15 VDC Output @ 3.3 A
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 converter’s output voltage can be adjusted up
10% or down 20% relative to the rated output voltage
by the addition of an externally connected resistor.
Trim up to 10% is guaranteed only at Vin
≥
21 V, and
to 5% is guaranteed only at Vin
≥
20 V.
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

Trimming/sensing beyond 110% of the rated output

Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this

The input voltage must be at least 17.5 V for the

turned on, it will shut off when the input voltage
drops below 15 V. This feature is beneficial in
