Technical Specification
Inside the converter, +SENSE is connected to +Vout with a resistor
value from 100W to 301W, depending on output voltage, and
–SENSE is connected to OUTPUT RETURN with a 10W resistor
Figure B shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC IN
pin. Figure C shows the equivalent circuit looking into the SYNC
OUT pin.

It is also important to note that when remote sense is used, the
voltage across the converter’s output terminals (pins 7 and 8)
will be higher than the converter’s nominal output voltage due
to resistive drops along the connecting wires. This higher volt-
age at the terminals produces a greater voltage stress on the
converter’s internal components and may cause the converter to
fail to deliver the desired output voltage at the low end of the
input voltage range at the higher end of the load current and
temperature range. Please consult the factory for details.

SYNCHRONIZATION: The MQFL converter’s regulation and
isolation stage switching frequencies can be synchronized to an
external frequency source that is in the 500 kHz to 600 kHz
range. The boost-converter stage is free-running at about 670
kHz while it is operational, and is not affected by synchroniza-
tion signals. A pulse train at the desired frequency should be
applied to the SYNC IN pin (pin 6) with respect to the INPUT
RETURN (pin 2). This pulse train should have a duty cycle in the
20% to 80% range. Its low value should be below 0.8V to be
guaranteed to be interpreted as a logic low, and its high value
should be above 2.0V to be guaranteed to be interpreted as a
logic high. The transition time between the two states should be
less than 300ns.

If the MQFL converter is not to be synchronized, the SYNC IN pin
should be left open circuit. The converter will then operate in its
free-running mode at a frequency of approximately 550 kHz.

respect to the IN RTN (input return) pin.
CURRENT SHARE: When several MQFL converters are placed
in parallel to achieve either a higher total load power or N+1
redundancy, their SHARE pins (pin 11) should be connected
together. The voltage on this common SHARE node represents the
average current delivered by all of the paralleled converters. Each
converter monitors this average value and adjusts itself so that its
output current closely matches that of the average.
If, due to a fault, the SYNC IN pin is held in either a logic low
or logic high state continuously, the MQFL converter will revert
to its free-running frequency.
The MQFL converter also has a SYNC OUT pin (pin 5). This
output can be used to drive the SYNC IN pins of as many as ten
(10) other MQFL converters. The pulse train coming out of SYNC
OUT has a duty cycle of 50% and a frequency that matches the
switching frequency of the converter with which it is associated.
This frequency is either the free-running frequency if there is no
synchronization signal at the SYNC IN pin, or the synchroniza-
tion frequency if there is.
Since the SHARE pin is monitored with respect to the OUTPUT
RETURN (pin 8) by each converter, it is important to connect all of
the converters’ OUTPUT RETURN pins together through a low DC
and AC impedance. When this is done correctly, the converters
will deliver their appropriate fraction of the total load current to
within +/- 10% at full rated load.
The SYNC OUT signal is available only when the voltage at the
STABILITY pin (pin 3) is above approximately 12V and when
the converter is not inhibited through the ENA1 pin. An inhibit
through the ENA2 pin will not turn the SYNC OUT signal off.
Whether or not converters are paralleled, the voltage at the
SHARE pin could be used to monitor the approximate average
current delivered by the converter(s). A nominal voltage of 1.0V
represents zero current and a nominal voltage of 2.2V represents
the maximum rated current, with a linear relationship in between.
The internal source resistance of a converter’s SHARE pin signal is
2.5 kW. During an input voltage fault or primary disable event, the
SHARE pin outputs a power failure warning pulse. The SHARE pin
will go to 3V for approximately 14ms as the output voltage falls.
NOTE: An MQFL converter that has its SYNC IN pin driven by
the SYNC OUT pin of a second MQFL converter will have its
start of its switching cycle delayed approximately 180 degrees
relative to that of the second converter.
