Description
The QKS is a high density and highly efficient, isolated DC-DC converter that operates over an input voltage range
of 36 VDC to 75VDC. It provides a 12 VDC nominal, loosely-regulated output voltage at up to 21 ADC of current.
The converter is an ideal choice for building a complete power system utilizing the Intermediate Bus Architecture
(IBA). The thermally-optimized construction of the QKS allows the converter to provide high output current over a
wide operating temperature range while maintaining a safe guardband for component electrical and thermal
ratings. The QKS employs 100% surface-mount components for consistency and reliability in the production
process.

Efficiency Curve
Shutdown Feature Description
The ON/OFF pin in the QKS48T21120 converter
functions as a normal soft shutdown. It is referenced
to the –Vin pin (see Figure 2). With the positive
logic, when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low, the output
is turned off and the unit goes into a very low input
power mode.
With negative logic, when the ON/OFF pin is pulled
low, the unit is turned on.
An open collector switch is recommended to control
the voltage between the ON/OFF pin and the -Vin
pin of the converter. The ON/OFF pin is pulled up
internally, so no external voltage source is required.
The user should avoid connecting a resistor between
the ON/OFF pin and the +Vin pin.

Typical Application
Figure 2 shows the recommended connections for
the QKS48T21120 converter.

+Vo
When the ON/OFF pin is used to achieve remote
control, the user must take care to insure that the pin
reference for the control is really the -Vin pin. The
control signal must not be referenced ahead of EMI
filtering, or remotely from the unit. Optically coupling
the information and locating the optical coupler
directly at the module will solve any of these
problems.
Note:
If the ON/OFF pin is not used, it can be left floating (positive logic),
or connected to the -Vin pin (negative logic).

Figure 2. Typical Application of QKS48T21120
The QKS48T21120 converter does not require any
external components for proper operation. However,
a 100 µF low ESR input capacitor and a 330 µF
output capacitor are recommended for optimal
performance
Refer to the “Inrush Current Control Application
Note” on www.power-one.com for suggestions on
how to limit the magnitude of the inrush current.
