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. * UL is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

Data Sheet GE QPW050/060 Series Power Modules DC-DC converters 36-75Vdc Input 1.2Vdc to 3.3Vdc Output 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.

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 manufacturers data sheet for further information. March 18, 2021 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 2
