Compact DC/DC Converters Offer Wide Input Voltage Range

With 28 MiniDIP components in the line, the G200RW series of 2W dc/dc converters specify a wide 2:1 input voltage range: 4.5V to 9V, 9V to 18V, 18V to 36V, and 36V to 72V. Output voltages include 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, ±5V, ±12V, and ±15V. Standard features include tight line/load regulation, an input/output isolation of 1.5 kVdc, low output noise, efficiencies up to 81%, continuous short circuit protection with automatic recovery, and a MTBF beyond one-million hours as per MIL HDBK 217F. Each model operates in temperatures from -40°C to +65°C. Cooling is via free-air convection, eliminating the need for heat sinks. Depending on the component, prices range from $8.20 to $9.15 each/100. MICROPOWER DIRECT, Stoughton, MA. (781) 344-8226.
