5V POL Converters Deliver Up To 245 W/in³

Operating with a 3 to 5 Vdc input, the latest Nex family of non-isolated dc/dc POL converters, the 5A YNM, 10A YNL, and 16A YNS, are capable of output densities in the realm of 245 W/in³. They are available in 20.3 mm x 11.4 mm x 6.3 mm and 33 mm x 13.5 mm x 8 mm surface-mount packages and employ the company's maXyz intermediate bus architecture (IBA). The YNL converters provide fixed outputs from 0.9V to 3.3V while the YMM and YNS components offer programmable outputs from 0.75V to 3.3V. Each series is capable of delivering it's full rated output, measured with a 3.3V input in an ambient temperature of 85°C. Other shared features include remote on/off, an output-voltage-adjust pin, remote sense, no minimum load requirements, start-up into pre-biased outputs, input under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and over-current protection. Prices for the YNM, YNL, and YNS series are $9.50, $13, and $16 each/1,000, respectively. POWER-ONE INC., Carlsbad, CA. (866) 969-3438.
