Converter Family Embraces Maxi, Mini And Micro Sizes

Spanning input voltages of from 36V to 75V, with nominal input pegged at 48V, and delivering 2, 3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28 and 48 vdc, this dc-to-dc converter family is designed for telecomm and distributed power applications- front-end packages, such as dc input filters for telecomm applications and PFC for distributed power applications, also are available. The family embraces three groups of eight modules per group: the 4.6" x 2.2" x 0.5" MaxiMOD series offers output power ratings of 200W to 500W; the 2.28" x 2.2" x 0.5" MiniMOD line has a 100W to 250W rating; and the 2.28" x 1.45" x 0.5" MicroMOD series can deliver 50W to 150W. The converters also have a stepped package profile that allows the modules to be recessed into a board for an above-board height of only 09.45". In-board mounting also exposes the under side of the module to air flow for more effective heat removal. And the converters can be adjusted or programmed from 10% to 110% of the nominal output voltage using fixed resistors, pots, or voltage DACs.
