HPQ Series
Isolated High Power Quarter Brick DC/DC Converters
Typical unit
FEATURES
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
nꢀ
3.3 Volts DC fixed output up to 50 Amps
Unique among quarter-brick DC/DC converters, the
HPQ series offers very high output current (up to
50 Amps) in an industry standard “quarter brick”
package requiring no heat sink. The HPQ series
delivers up to 165 Watts fixed voltage output for
printed circuit board mounting. Wide range inputs
on the 2.3" x 1.45" x 0.39" converter are 36 to 75
Volts DC (48 Volts nominal), ideal for datacom and
telecom systems. The fixed output voltage is regu-
lated to within 1ꢀ and may be trimmed within
10ꢀ of nominal output.
Advanced automated surface mount assembly
and planar magnetics deliver full magnetic and
optical isolation with Basic protection up to 2250
Volts. To power digital systems, the outputs offer
fast settling to current steps and tolerance of
higher capacitive loads. Excellent ripple and noise
shutdown, an external remote On/Off control may
use either positive or negative polarity. Remote
Sense inputs compensate for resistive line drops at
high currents.

A wealth of self-protection features avoid prob-
lems with both the converter and external circuits.
These include input undervoltage lockout and
overtemperature shutdown using an on-board tem-
perature sensor. Excessive overcurrents limit their
power using the “hiccup” autorestart technique
and the outputs may be short-circuited indefinitely.
Additional safety features include output overvolt-
age protection and reverse conduction elimination.
The synchronous rectifier topology offers high effi-
ciency for minimal heat buildup and “no heat sink”
operation. The HPQ series is designed to meet full
safety certifications to UL/EN/IEC/CSA 60950-1 and
