Description
The QPW-series dc-dc converters are a new generation of DC/DC power modules designed for maximum efficiency and
power density. The QPW series provide up to 60A output current in an industry standard quarter brick. The converter
incorporates synchronous rectification technology and innovative packaging techniques to achieve ultra high efficiency
reaching 93% at 3.3V full load. The ultra high efficiency of this converter leads to lower power dissipation such that for
most applications a heat sink is not required. The QPW series power modules are isolated dc-dc converters that operate
over a wide input voltage range of 36 to 75 Vdc and provide single precisely regulated output. The output is fully isolated
from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute
stress ratings only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those
given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can
adversely affect the device reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an
integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included,
however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a
fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in
this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used.
Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data sheet for further information.
