PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The LQN D12 Series of non-isolated quarter bricks
are ideal building blocks for emerging, on-board
power-distribution schemes in which isolated 12V
buses deliver power to any number of non-isolated,
step-down buck regulators. LQN D12 DC/DCs
accept a 12V input (10.2V to 13.8V input range)
and convert it, with the highest efficiency in the
smallest space, to a 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.5, 3.3
or 5 Volt output fully rated at 45-50 Amps.
LQN D12s are ideal POLPPs (point-of-use/load
power processors) and they typically require no ex-
ternal components. They occupy the standard quarter
brick board space (1.45" x 2.3") and come in either
through-hole packages or surface-mount packages
with a profile of only 0.4" (0.5" including heatsink).
The LQNs best-in-class power density is
achieved with a fully synchronous, fixed-frequency,
3-phase buck topology that delivers extremely
high efficiency (95% for 5V
OUT
models), low noise
(20mVp-p typ.), tight line/load regulation (±0.25%
max.), quick step response (70μsec), stable no-
load operation, and no output reverse conduction.
The fully functional LQN's feature input over/
undervoltage lockout, output overvoltage and
overcurrent detection, continuous short-circuit
protection, overtemperature protection, an
output-voltage trim function, a remote on/off
control pin, and sense pin. High efficiency enables
the LQN D12s to deliver rated output currents
of 50 Amps at high ambient temperatures and
minimal air flow.
If your new system boards call for multiple
supply voltages, check out the economics of
on-board 12V distributed power. If you don't need
to pay for multiple isolation barriers, MPS's non-
isolated LQN D12 brick's will save you money.

Typical at T
A
= +25°C under nominal line voltage and full-load conditions, unless
otherwise noted. All models are tested and specified with external 33μF input
capacitor and 470μF poscap output capacitor paralleled with a 100μF ceramic
output capacitor.
➁
Ripple/Noise (R/N) is tested/specified over a 20MHz bandwidth.
➂
These devices have no minimum-load requirements and will regulate under no-
load conditions. Regulation specifications describe the output-voltage deviation as
the line voltage or load is varied from its nominal/midpoint value to either extreme.
➃
Nominal line voltage, no-load/full-load conditions.
➄
The operating input voltage is 10.2V to 13.8V. However, 10.8V
IN
is required for the
DC/DC to properly start up under all line, load and temperature conditions. The 10.8V
potential must be maintained across the inputs until the output is up and regulating.
After the output is regulating, the operating input range is 10.2V to 13.8V.
