EC2630QI 4.5A, 27W 12V DC-DC
Intermediate Voltage Bus Converter
Description
The EC2630QI is a high density, high efficiency
DC-DC intermediate voltage bus converter which
generates an output voltage that tracks one half the
input voltages and is designed to provide power to
Altera’s highly integrated Enpirion DC-DC point-of-
load converter products for a complete 12V
solution. EC2630QI provides the means to
condition power from a 12V input, to supply multiple
lower voltage converters while enabling high
efficiency and small PCB area. Due to its extremely
high efficiency, it avoids the common two stage
power conversion penalty and is equivalent to or
better than direct regulation.
This Altera Enpirion solution significantly helps in
system design and productivity by offering greatly
simplified board design, layout and manufacturing.
In addition, a reduction in the number of vendors
required for the complete power solution helps to
enable an overall system cost savings. All of
Altera’s Enpirion products are RoHS compliant.

FUNCTION
Internal Regulated Supply Output. Connect bypass capacitor from V3P3 to GND.
Frequency Adjust pin used to set the switching frequency. Connect a 100kΩ resistor
from FADJ pin to GND.
Internally Regulated Supply Ground. Must tie directly to ground plane with a via right
next to each pin.
Open drain transistor for power system state indication for nominal 12V operation.
VIN_OK is logic high when Vin is greater than 9V. This pin can be used to control the
ENABLE signals of downstream converters powered by the EC2630. Refer to the
Application Schematic section for more details on sequencing.
NO CONNECT – Do not electrically connect these pins to each other or to any other
electrical signal. CAUTION: May be internally connected.
Main Input Supply
Master/Slave pin for clock synchronization. Logic low = Master. Logic high = Slave.
Use in master mode for standalone devices.
External Synchronizing Clock Input, input accepted in Slave mode from an EC2630
operating in master mode. May be left floating when used in master mode.
Synchronizing Clock Output. Provides clock input to EC2630s in slave mode.
Power ground for the switching voltage attenuator
Negative Terminal of Flying Capacitor
Converter Output Voltage
Positive Terminal of Flying Capacitor
Main Input Supply
Internal power Supply for high-side drive. Connect a 0.1uF/25V boot-strap capacitor
from VBOOT to CFLYN.
Quiet Input Supply for Controller. Connect to PVIN through an RC filter. Refer to
application schematics for details
This pad is a thermal ground. It must be thermally and electrically connected to the
ground plane through a matrix of vias.
