Figure 1 shows the recommended connections for the QLS25 Series converter.
Figure 1. Typical Application of QLS25 Series
The QLS25 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, the capacitor C1 may be required to enhance performance
of the converter. A minimum of a 33μF electrolytic capacitor with the ESR<0.7 is recommended for the QLS25 Series.
Refer to the “Inrush Current Control Application Note” on
belpowersolutions.com
for suggestions on how to limit the
magnitude of the inrush current.
For output decoupling we recommend to use a 10μF tantalum and a 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.
The ON/OFF pin in the QLS25 Series converters functions as a normal soft shutdown. It is referenced to the –Vin pin (see
Figure 1). 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.
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).
The trim feature allows the user to adjust the output voltage from the nominal. This can be used to accommodate a different
requirement or to do production margin testing. There are two variances available in the QLS25 Series.

The QLS25 negative trim units trim up with a resistor from the TRIM pin to the –Sense pin and trim down with a resistor from
the TRIM pin to the +Sense pin, as shown in Fig.2.
The negative trim schematic is shown in Figure 2.

The general equation (1) for changing the output voltage on the negative trim modules is invariant, but the constants in the
equation change due to different internal values.
