range (48 VDC nominal) and converts it to a low Vdc
output. Applications include 48V-powered datacom
and telecom installations, base stations, cellular
dataphone repeaters, instruments and embedded
systems. Wideband output ripple and noise is a low
100 mV, peak-to-peak.
The RBQ’s synchronous-rectifier topology with
line regulation and fixed frequency operation
means excellent efficiencies up to 96%, enabling
“no heatsink” operation for most applications up
to +85° Celsius (with derating airflow). “No fan” or
zero airflow higher temperature applications may
use the optional base plate for cold surface mount-
ing or natural-convection heatsinks.
A wealth of electronic protection features include
input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) , output current
limit, short circuit hiccup, and overtemperature
shutdown. Available options include positive or
negative logic remote On/Off control, conformal
coating, various pin lengths, and the baseplate.
Assembled using ISO-certified automated surface-
mount techniques, the RBQ series is certified to
all UL and IEC emissions, safety and flammability
standards.

Regulation specifications describe the output voltage deviations as the line voltage or load
current is varied from its nominal/midpoint value to either extreme. (Load step = ±25 %). Line
Regulation tested from 40V to 75V, output @nominal load.
➂
All specifications are at nominal line voltage and full load, +25 deg.C. unless otherwise noted.
See detailed specifications. Output capacitors are 1μF, 10uF and 470μF in parallel, with a 220μF
input capacitor. I/O caps are necessary for our test equipment and may not be needed for your
application.

Notes
➀
Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are at nominal input voltage, nominal output voltage
and full load. General conditions are +25˚ Celsius ambient temperature, near sea level altitude,
natural convection airflow. All models are tested and specified with external parallel 1μF, 10μF
and 470 μF output capacitors and 220 μF external input capacitor. All capacitors are low-ESR
types wired close to the converter. These capacitors are necessary for our test equipment and
may not be needed in the user’s application.
➁
Input (back) ripple current is tested and specified over 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input filtering
is Cbus = 220 μF, Cin = 220 μF and Lbus = 4.7 μH.
➂
All models are stable and regulate to specification under no load.
➃
The Remote On/Off Control is referred to -Vin.
➄
Regulation specifications describe the output voltage changes as the line voltage or load current
is varied from its nominal or midpoint value to either extreme.
