POL Converters Rev Up Comm Apps

Poised for communication systems, the non-isolated MPDRX series dc/dc converter modules are also useful in FPGA and microprocessor applications. They also exhibit a solid pass-through transient response, making them viable for use in intermediate bus architectures. Four models make up the series: the MPDRX002S and MPDRX004S in 33 mm x 13.5 mm x 8 mm surface-mount packages and the MPDRX103S and MPDRX104S in 50.8 mm x 5.8 mm x 14 mm SIL housings. They offer a variety of input-voltage ranges and programmable outputs, 16A and 12A outputs, efficiencies up to 90%, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Each includes VOUT sensing, remote on/off, plus short-circuit and over-temperature protection. Pricing is $10.25 each. MURATA ELECTRONICS NORTH AMERICA INC., Smyrna, GA. (770) 436-1300.
