Description
The new Q2S30 Series of single-output DC/DC converters offer unprecedented density and performance in
an industry-standard, quarter-brick footprint. Patent pending technology combined with state-of-the-art
packaging techniques allows the Q2S30 to provide 30A of output current in an 8.5mm package without a
heatsink. The 100% surface mount design provides consistent high quality and reliability, and the SMT
mounting option eliminates the need for separate (additional manual) operations to mount the converters to
the motherboards during mass production.

** Overcurrent protection is non-latching with auto recovery.
*** Vout can be increased up to 10% via the sense leads or up to 10% via the trim function, however total
output voltage trim from all sources should not exceed 10% of Vout (NOM) in order to ensure specified
operation of over-voltage protection circuitry.

The Q2S30 Series converters do not require any
external components for proper operation.
However, if the distribution of the input voltage to
the converter contains significant inductance, an
input capacitor may be required to enhance
performance of the converter. A minimum of a
100µF electrolytic capacitor with the ESR<0.7Ω is
recommended for the Q2S30 series.
If magnitude of the inrush current needs to be
limited, see the “Inrush Current Control
Application Note” on the Power-One website at
www.power-one.com.
For output decoupling we recommend using 10μF
tantalum and 1μF ceramic capacitors connected
directly across the output pins of the converter.
Note that the capacitors do not substitute the
filtering required by the load.
