Series QP

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The QP series by Pico Electronics are isolated DC-DC converters with a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 475V. They ensure tight output regulation, low ripple, and noise, and include features like trim capability, shutdown, and internal reference voltage. Protections against input over/undervoltage, output short-circuit, overvoltage, and over temperature are included. The feedback loop does not use an optocoupler, enhancing reliability. The compact design is suitable for high vibration and shock applications, with conduction cooling available.
Features:
  • Input range: 4.75V to 475V
  • Output range: 5V to 500V
  • Output power up to 50W
  • Input/output isolation
  • Protection against various electrical faults
  • External bias for capacitor charging applications
  • Load share parallel operation
  • Temperature options for industrial and military applications
Specifications:
  • Input voltage ranges for different models (e.g., 6V, 12V, 24V, 48V, HiQP models)
  • Output voltage tolerance: 0.5% for QP models, 1% for HiQP models
  • Operating temperature ranges vary by model, with options for extended ranges
  • Isolation voltage: 4242VDC input to output
  • Size: 2.5 x 1.55 x 0.5 inches
  • Weight: 75 grams
Protections & Features:
  • Short circuit or overload protection with self-recovery
  • Overtemperature protection with shutdown and restart thresholds
  • Output overvoltage protection via Zener diode clamp
  • Input under and overvoltage protections with self-recovery
  • Shutdown feature with a specific voltage threshold
  • Output voltage trim capability
  • External bias for applications requiring large startup current
  • Load share feature for parallel operation
Thermal Management: Thermal resistance data for different airflow conditions is provided, along with a formula for calculating output power based on thermal resistance and efficiency.
Compliance and Options: The QP series meets various MIL-STD standards for vibration, shock, humidity, and altitude. Options for stabilization bake, temperature cycling, and burn-in are available.
Mechanical Drawings: Detailed mechanical drawings and dimensions are provided for the QP series modules, including pin functions and recommended torque for mounting screws.
Warranty and Liability: Pico offers a one-year warranty from the original shipment date, limited to repairing or replacing the product for the original purchaser. The warranty does not cover usage outside the product's specifications. Pico is not liable for consequential damages, lost profits, incidental damages, or other losses incurred by the purchaser or third parties. Consultation with Pico is required before using products in nuclear, radioactive, or space environments.

Series QP-1

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The QP series are isolated DC-DC converters with a wide selection of input voltage ranges from 4.5V to 475V while maintaining tight output regulation, low ripple and noise. These modules have trim capability, shutdown and internal reference voltage. Protections include input over/ undervoltage, output short-circuit, output overvoltage and over temperature. For increased reliability, the feedback loop does not use an optocoupler. The 2.5" x 1.55" x 0.5" case size has threaded inserts to mount securely for high vibration and shock applications. Conduction cooling is available through the baseplate or compatible heat sink. FEATURES 4.75V to 475V input range models 5 to 500V output models Up to 50W output Input/output isolation Protected against input over/undervoltage, output short-circuit overcurrent (HiQP) and over temperature Does not use optocoupler in feedback loop External bias for capacitor charging applications (QP) Load Share Parallel operation (HiQP) Industrial temperature option -40°C (HiQP) Military temperature option -55°C (HiQP) Input LC filter for soft start and low reflected current ripple (HiQP) Contact Pico for part number of available options: • Expanded operating temp: -55°C to +85°C (QP) Stabilization Bake Temperature Cycle Burn-In • Special Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Isolation Voltage or Output Power

Series QP High Power DC-DCTYPICAL CONNECTION CIRCUITSHUTDOWN NON-ISOLATED Note 1: Shutdown will shut down the unit when the pin is pulled below 0.4V. For 6QP, 12QP, 24QP & 48QP models, the voltage of the open shutdown pin is equal to the input voltage. All external components must be rated to at least the input voltage. TRIM DOWN Note 2: Output Voltage Trim (TRIM) can adjust the output voltage through a resistor to -IN or VREF pins. Note 3: Voltage Reference (VREF) can be used for Output Voltage Trim. Voltage is typically 3V and current is <10mA. Units can be trimmed down with a resistor to Output...
