USQ 20A Models

 High-Density, Quarter-Brick

20 Amp, DC/DC Converters

For low-voltage, high-current power . . . in the smallest space . . . over the widest 

temperature range . . . call on DATEL’s USQ Series 20 Amp "quarter bricks." Occupy-
ing the industry-standard package (1.45" x 2.28" x 0.40") and pinout, USQ’s house 
their fully-synchronous, forward design topology in a "two-board" assembly crowned 
with a heat-sink-compatible aluminum baseplate. This combination of outstanding 
thermal and electrical efficiencies endows USQ’s with industry-leading, thermal-
derating performance. The 1.8V

OUT

 model, for example, delivers its full 20 Amps up to 

+55

°

C with a mere 200 lfm air flow. 

USQ’s achieve all the performance metrics required for contemporary, on-board 

power processing: high isolation (1500Vdc), superior efficiency (to 91%), tight regula-
tion (to 

±

0.05% max. line and load), low noise (to 50mVp-p), quick step response 

(200

µ

sec), and an array of protection features. I/O protection includes input under-

voltage lockout and reverse-polarity protection, as well as output overvoltage pro-
tection, current limiting, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The USQ 
functionality suite includes remote on/off control (positive or negative polarity), output 
trim (+10/–20%), and output sense functions.

All USQ DC/DC’s are designed to meet the BASIC insulation requirements of 

UL1950 and EN60950, and all 48 Volt models will carry the CE mark. Safety certifica-
tions, as well as EMC compliance testing and qualification testing (including HALT) 
have been successfully completed. Contact DATEL for copies of the latest reports.
