Ericsson Full-Brick Converter Raises Efficiency Bar

Offered as a drop-in replacement for emerging and existing designs, the PKY4716PI dc/dc converter in a standard full-brick format delivers 700W of output power and typically exceeds 94% efficiency. Reportedly, its efficiency curve is virtually flat from 30% to 100% load. The device will handle both 48V and 60V system voltages and has an input voltage range from 36V to 75V. It can withstand an input up to 100V continuous and features an ultra-wide output voltage trimming range that can be adjusted down to 10V. Other features include a typical 20-mV load and line regulation with ±1% set voltage over a base-plate temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and ROHS compliance. Price for the 700W PKY4716PI is $85 each in OEM quantities. ERICSSON INC., Plano, TX. (972) 583-6910/5254.
