DC/DC Converter Family Adds Quarter And Half Brick Modules

Expanding the CN-A Series dc/dc converters, the 200W CN200A quarter and half-brick models operate off a wide range of inputs from 60 to 160 Vdc, levels common to the railway industry.  Available with output voltages from 5V to 24VDC, adjustable by ±10%, output power ratings are 30W, 50W, 100W, and 200W. The 30W to 100W modules come in the industry standard quarter-brick footprint and the 200W units are packaged in a half-brick footprint. The 200W models have a unique current-share feature that eases paralleling two or more units for high power applications. Price for the 200W CN200A models is $141 each/500. TDK-LAMBDA, San Diego, CA.
