Application Notes

Output Load Current Calculation

This application note provides a simple method to calculate the output load current using the current sense resistor found on SynQor’s open frame DC-DC converters. All equations, turns-ratio and sense resistor values are included for the calculations.

Output Voltage Ripple Measurements

This application note explains the existence of occasional high frequency noise spikes when measuring the output voltage ripple on a SynQor converter and how these spikes are largely a measurement artifact. The paper details how to eliminate this measurement error with the proper test set-up and termination methods.

Paralleling Capabilities of SynQor Rack Mount System

This application note provides an overview of the paralleling capabilities of the SynQor Rack Mount System Products. It provides a table of all SynQor rack mount system products which indicates whether they can be paralleled and the type of paralleling method they use.

EMI Characteristics

This application note provides an overview of electromagnetic interference (EMI), the different standards and regulations, how these standards and regulations relate to DC-DC power modules, suggestions for external filtering solutions, and suggested layout and grounding practices.

ACuQor Hipot Balancing

This application note describes the correct method for hipot testing the ACuQor series of AC‑DC converters. The note provides an understanding of the difference in capacitance values from input‑to‑ground and from output‑to‑ground as well as a solution for balancing the voltage stresses.

AeroQor Single-Phase EMI Design App Note

This application note addresses DO-160G compliant solutions using SynQor’s Isolated Power Factor Correction modules and reviews electromagnetic interference design practices to meet the required standards.

Aqueous Cleaning and Soldering

This Application Note provides an overview of Aqueous Cleaning and Soldering Considerations for SynQor open‑frame, fully encased, and baseplated products.

Converter Thermal Resistance

This application note describes the thermal resistance of SynQor’s DC‑DC power converters for open frame and baseplated or encased units.

Current Sharing on Full Feature Modules

This application note details the additional features available in SynQor’s full-feature converter modules. There is substantial information provided to facilitate the use of the active current sharing feature for N+1 and parallel applications.
