Description
The SSQ48T20025 power module is an open frame sixteenth-brick dc-dc converter that conforms to the
Distributed Open Standards Architecture (DOSA) specifications. The module operates over an input voltage range
of 36 to 75 VDC, and provides a regulated output voltage of 2.5 VDC with an output current up to 20 A for today’s
Distributed Power Architecture. The output is fully isolated from the input; the module meets Basic Insulation
requirements and permits a positive or negative output configuration.
The module is constructed using a single-board approach with both planar and discrete magnetics. The standard
feature set includes remote On/Off (positive or negative logic), input undervoltage lockout, output
overvoltage shutdown, output overcurrent shutdown, output voltage trim, and overtemperature shutdown with
hysteresis.
The SSQ48 Series of converters is available in both surface-mount (SSQ48S-) and through-hole (SSQ48T-)
versions.

36-75 VDC Input, 2.5 VDC @ 20 A Output
Operations
Input and Output Impedance
These power converters have been designed to be
stable with no external capacitors when used in low
inductance input and output circuits.
In many applications, the inductance associated with
the distribution from the power source to the input of
the converter can affect the stability of the converter.
The addition of a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor with an
ESR < 1
Ω
across the input helps to ensure stability
of the converter. In many applications, the user has
to use decoupling capacitance at the load. The
power converter will exhibit stable operation with
external load capacitance up to 10,000 µF on 2.5 V
output.
Additionally, see the EMC section of this data sheet
for discussion of other external components which
may be required for control of conducted emissions.
ON/OFF (Pin 2)
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter
on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two
remote control options available, positive and
negative logic, with both referenced to Vin(-). A
typical connection is shown in Fig. A.

to the ON/OFF input, in which case it must be
capable of sinking up to 2 mA.
Remote Sense (Pins 5 and 7)
The remote sense feature of the converter
compensates for voltage drops occurring between
the output pins of the converter and the load. The
SENSE(-) (Pin 5) and SENSE(+) (Pin 7) pins should
be connected at the load or at the point where
regulation is required (see Fig. B).

CAUTION
If remote sensing is not utilized, the SENSE(-) pin must be
connected to the Vout(-) pin (Pin 4), and the SENSE(+) pin
must be connected to the Vout(+) pin (Pin 8) to ensure the
converter will regulate at the specified output voltage. If these
connections are not made, the converter will deliver an
output voltage that is slightly higher than the specified data
sheet value.

Because the sense leads carry minimal current,
large traces on the end-user board are not required.
However, sense traces should be run side by side
and located close to a ground plane to minimize
system noise and ensure optimum performance.
When using the remote sense function, the
converter’s output overvoltage protection (OVP)
senses the voltage across Vout(+) and Vout(-), and
not across the sense lines, so the resistance (and
resulting voltage drop) between the output pins of
the converter and the load should be minimized to
prevent unwanted triggering of the OVP.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must
be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable
output power capability of the converter, which is
equal to the product of the nominal output voltage
and the allowable output current for the given
conditions.
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the
converter can be increased by as much as 10%
above the nominal rating in order to maintain the
required voltage across the load. Therefore, the
designer must, if necessary, decrease the maximum
current (originally obtained from the derating curves)
by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s

Fig. A: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The positive logic version turns on when the ON/OFF
pin is at a logic high and turns off when at a logic
low. The converter is on when the ON/OFF pin is left
open. See the Electrical Specification section for
logic high/low definitions.
The negative logic version turns on when the pin is
at a logic low and turns off when the pin is at a logic
high. The ON/OFF pin can be hardwired directly to
Vin(-) to enable automatic power up of the converter
without the need of an external control signal.
The ON/OFF pin is internally pulled up to 5 V
through a resistor. A properly de-bounced
mechanical switch, open-collector transistor, or FET
can be used to drive the input of the ON/OFF pin.
The device must be capable of sinking up to 0.5 mA
at a low level voltage of
≤
0.8 V. An external voltage
source (±20 V maximum) may be connected directly

actual output power remains at or below the
maximum allowable output power.
Output Voltage Adjust /TRIM (Pin 6)
The output voltage can be adjusted up 10% or down
20% relative to the rated output voltage by the
addition of an externally connected resistor.
The TRIM pin should be left open if trimming is not
being used. To minimize noise pickup, a 0.1 µF
capacitor is connected internally between the TRIM
and SENSE(-) pins.
To increase the output voltage, refer to Fig. C. A trim

Input Undervoltage Lockout
Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this
converter. The converter will shut down when the
input voltage drops below a pre-determined voltage.
The input voltage must be typically 33.7 V for the
converter to turn on. Once the converter has been
turned on, it will shut off when the input voltage
drops typically below 29 V. This feature is beneficial
in preventing deep discharging of batteries used in
telecom applications.
Output Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The converter is protected against overcurrent or
short circuit conditions. Upon sensing an overcurrent
condition, the converter will switch to constant
current operation and thereby begin to reduce output
voltage. Typically, when the output voltage drops
below 40% of the nominal output voltage, the
converter will shut down.
Once the converter has shut down, it will attempt to
restart nominally every 200 ms with a typical 3-5%
duty cycle. The attempted restart will continue
indefinitely until the overload or short circuit
conditions are removed.

When trimming up, care must be taken not to exceed
