The BusQor
™
BQ55090ETL16 bus converter is a next-gener-
g
ation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed switching frequency
m
dc/dc converter that uses synchronous rectification to achieve
extremely high conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by
the converter is so low that a heatsink is not required, which
saves cost, weight, height, and application effort. The BusQor
series provides an isolated step down voltage from 48V to a
9.6V intermediate bus with no regulation in a standard
“eighth-brick” module. BusQor converters are ideal for creat-
b
ing the mid-bus voltage required to drive point-of-lload (non-iso-
b
o
i
lated) converters in intermediate bus architectures.
Bus
Conver ter
Operational Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, >95% at full rated load current
• Delivers up to 16 amps of output current (150W) with
minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Input voltage range: 35V – 55V provides 6.3-11V bus
for distributed power architectures
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI per-
formance
BQ55090ETL16 Module
Pr otection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout and over-voltage shutdown
protects against abnormal input voltages
• Output current limit and short circuit protection (auto
recovery or latching options)
• Output over-voltage protection
• Thermal shutdown (auto recovery or latching options)
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard eighth-brick bus converter pin-out
• Industry standard size: 0.90” x 2.3” (22.9x58.4mm)
• Total height only 0.327” (8.05mm), permits better air-
flow and smaller card pitch
• Total weight: 0.7 oz. (20 grams)
• Flanged pins designed to permit surface mount solder-
ing (avoid wave solder) using FPiP technique
Safety Features
• 2000V, 30 MΩ input-to-output isolation
• UL/cUL 60950 recognized (US & Canada), basic insu-
lation rating
• TUV certified to EN60950
• Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives
• Meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements
Contr ol Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive and
negative logic options available)

length is 0.03” (0.76mm) greater than the PCB thickness.
4) All Pins: Material - Copper Alloy
Finish - Tin/Lead over Nickel plate
5) Undimensioned components are shown for visual reference
only.
6) All dimensions in inches (mm)
Tolerances: x.xx +/-0.02 in. (x.x +/-0.5mm)
x.xxx +/-0.010 in. (x.xx +/-0.25mm)
7) Weight: 0.7 oz. (20 g) typical
8) Workmanship: Meets or exceeds IPC-A-610C Class II
