The PQ60018HPAA0 PowerQor™ Peta half-brick converter
is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed switch-
ing frequency DC/DC converter that uses synchronous recti-
fication to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. The
power dissipated by the converter is so low that a heatsink
is not required, which saves cost, weight, height, and appli-
cation effort. All of the power and control components are
mounted to the multi-layer PCB substrate with high-yield sur-
face mount technology for maximum reliability. The Peta
series converters offer industry leading output current for a
standard “half-brick” module. The Peta units also feature
active current sharing for N+1 and parallel applications.

Operational Features
Protection Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, 90% half load, 86% full load
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low
input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection>
• Delivers up to 100 amps of output current with mini-
mal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V, with 100V
100ms input voltage transient capability
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter
from external load induced pre-bias
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI
performance
• Output over-voltage protection
• Thermal shutdown
Mechanical Features
Control Features
• Industry standard pin-out configuration
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and
negative logic options are available)
• Industry standard size: 2.3” x 2.4” (58.4 x 61.0mm)
• Total height only 0.43” (10.8mm), permits better air-
• Remote sense for the output voltage compensates for
flow and smaller card pitch
output distribution drops
• Total weight: 2.9 oz. (83 grams)
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and voltage
margining
Safety Features
Optional Features (full feature)

• Active current share for N+1 and parallel applications
tion rating
• TUV certified to EN60950
• Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives
• Meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements
• External Clock Synchronization pin for better EMI char-
acteristics
• Startup Synchronization pin for more consistent start-up
sequence
