automatically when the temperature has dropped below 
the temperature threshold; the hysteresis is dened in 
general electrical specication. The product has also an 
under temperature protection.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The product includes over voltage limiting circuitry for 
protection of the load. The OVP limit is 30% above the 
nominal output voltage. The response from an over 
voltage fault is to immediately shut down. The device will 
continuously check for the presence of the fault condition, 
and when the fault condition no longer exists the device 
will be re-enabled.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The product includes current limiting circuitry for 
protection at continuous overload. The setting for the 
product is hic-up mode if the maximum output current is 
exceeded and the output voltage is below 0.3×V
out
. Above 
the trip voltage the product will continue operate while 
maintaining the output current at the maximum output 
current. The load distribution should be designed for the 
maximum output short circuit current specied. 
Droop Load Share variants (DLS) will enter hic-up mode, 
with a trip voltage, 0.04×V
out
. Above the trip voltage the 
product will continue to operate while maintaining the 
output current at the maximum output current
Input Over/Under voltage protection
The input of the product is protected from high input 
voltage and low input voltage.
Pre-bias Start-up Capability
The product has a Pre-bias start up functionality and will 
not sink current during start up if a Pre-bias source is 
present at the output terminals. If the Pre-bias voltage 
is lower than the target value, the product will ramp up 
to the target value. If the Pre-bias voltage is higher than 
the target value, the product will ramp down to the target 
value and in this case sink current for a limited time.
Output Voltage Regulation
The NQB products are designed to be fully regulated 
within the plotted area. Operating outside this area is not 
recommended.
Thermal Consideration
General
The product is designed to operate in different thermal 
environments and sufcient cooling must be provided 
to ensure reliable operation. For products mounted on 
a PWB without a heat sink attached, cooling is achieved 
mainly by conduction, from the pins to the host board, 
and convection, which is dependant on the airow across 
the product. Increased airow enhances the cooling of 
the product. The Output Current Derating graph found in 
the output section for each model provides the available 
output current vs. ambient air temperature and air velocity 
at V
I
 =53 V. 
The product is tested on a 254 x 254 mm, 35 µm (1 oz), 
16-layer test board mounted vertically in a wind tunnel 
with a cross-section of 608 x 203 mm.
For products with base plate used in a sealed box/cold 
wall application, cooling is achieved mainly by conduction 
through the cold wall. The Output Current Derating graphs 
are found in the output section for each model. The 
product is tested in a sealed box test set up with ambient 
temperatures 85, 55 and 25°C.
