Description
The high temperature 30A SQE48 Series of DC-DC converters 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 SQE48T30 converters utilize the
same pinout and functionality of the industry-standard quarter-bricks.
th
The 30 A SQE48 Series converters provide thermal performance in high temperature environments that exceeds
most competitors' 30A quarter-bricks. This performance is accomplished through the use of patented/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 36-75 V input, the SQE48T30 converters provide any standard output voltage from 3.3 V down
to 1.2 V that can be trimmed from –20% to +10% of the nominal output voltage (±10% for output voltage 1.2 V),
thus providing outstanding design flexibility.
With standard pinout and trim equations, the SQE48 Series converters are perfect drop-in replacements for
existing 30 A 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
SQE48 Series’ optimized thermal efficiency.

36-75 VDC Input; 1.2-3.3 VDC @ 30 A Output
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 many applications, the user has
to use decoupling capacitance at the load. The
power converter will exhibit stable operation with
external load capacitance up to 30,000 µF on
3.3 to 1.2 V outputs.
Additionally, see the EMC section of this data sheet
for discussion of other external components which
may be required for control of conducted emissions.
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.

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 (Pins 5 and 7)
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).

CAUTION
If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE(-) pin must be
connected to the Vout(-) pin (Pin 4), and the SENSE(+) pin
must be connected to the Vout(+) pin (Pin 8) 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)
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
Page 5 of 29
Fig. A: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF
pin is at a logic high and turns off when at a 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 a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a 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 V
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
