Description
The new high performance 15A SQL48T15033 DC-DC converter provides a high efficiency single output, in a 1/8
brick 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 SQL48T15033 converter utilizes the
same pin-out and Input/Output functionality of the industry-standard quarter-bricks. In addition, a heat spreader
feature is available (-xxxBx suffix) that provides an effective thermal interface for coldplate and heat sinking
options.
The SQL48T15033 converter thermal performance is accomplished through the use of 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 impedance to system airflow, thus enhancing cooling
for both upstream and 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.
Operating from a wide-range 36-75V input, the SQL48T15033 converter provides a fully regulated 3.3V output
voltage. The outputs can be trimmed from –20% to +10% of the nominal output voltage, thus providing outstanding
design flexibility. Employing a standard power pin-out, the SQL48T15033 converter is an ideal drop-in
replacement for existing high current quarter-brick designs. Inclusion of this converter in a new design can result in
significant board space and cost savings. The designer can expect reliability improvement over other available
converters because of the SQL48T15033’s 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 to ensure stability
of the converter. In applications where decoupling
capacitance is distributed at the load, the power
converter will exhibit stable operation with up to the
maximum admissible external load capacitance up to
7,500
µF and ESR > 1mΩ.
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 and
negative logic, with both referenced to Vin(-). A
typical connection is shown in Fig. A.
Vin (+)
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 open. See
the Electrical Specifications for logic high/low
definitions.
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 VDC 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. 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
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). When using remote
sense a minimum of 100uF ceramic capacitance
should be mounted between Vout(+) and Vout(-) close
to the pin 8 and pin 4.

Caution:
If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE(-) pin
must be connected to the Vout(-) pin, and the
SENSE(+) pin must be connected to the Vout(+) pin 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.

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)
circuitry 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.
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.
