Converters Reach 1000-W/in.3 Densities And 95% Efficiency

The NAT and NAS series of 12- and 20-A converters from NetPower Technologies achieve power densities up to 1000 W/in.3 with up to 95% efficiency. The NAT (in a single-inline package form factor) and NAS (in a surface-mount form factor) are available in two input voltage ranges: 2.4 to 5.5 V and 8 to 18 V. Output voltages range from 0.8 to 8 V. A baseplate option allows conduction cooling. The NAS and NAT devices are priced from $11.50 for 12-A converters and from $15 for 20-A converters, both in quantities of 1000.
