Sixteenth Bricks Deliver 33 W

From Tyco Electronics Power Systems (www.power.tycoelectronics.com), the KW006-010 series of sixteenth brick isolated dc-dc converters delivers 33 W, producing 10 A at 3.3 V or 6 A at 5 V. The converters achieve 87% efficiency at a 3.3-V full load.

Available in RoHS-compliant, surface-mount packages, the modules offer standard features such as remote on/off; negative logic; output voltage adjustment; remote sense; and overvoltage (latching), overcurrent and overtemperature protection (non-latching). Input voltage range is the standard 36 V to 75 V. Units are priced at $24.80 in quantities of 1000.
