How to make dc/dc converters rugged
Design standards for rail transportation equipment are so severe that they are used as qualifications for products targeting other areas where ruggedness comes in handy. Here’s a quick overview of what these standards entail. Martin Tenhumberg | Traco Power In transportation, there is an emphasis on electronic systems in rail because of expanding safety, telemetry […]
QFN-packaged buck converters put out 6 A
A new dc/dc converter portfolio is one of the smallest in its class of low-profile QFN-packaged buck regulator power modules. The RPX-2.5 module is exceptional due to its flip-chip technology which increases power density and improves thermal management. RECOM’s new power module offers a high power-density footprint on a 4.5x4x2-mm thermally-enhanced QFN package. The RPX-2.5 […]
Low-power isolated, regulated dc-dc modules cover 35 to 120 W
Power density, low weight and ease-of-use are critical considerations when designing isolated, regulated dc-dc converter systems for a broad range of robotics, UAV, rail, communications and defense/aerospace applications. The new DCM2322 ChiP family, a lower-power variant of the Vicor DCM3623 series, are targeted to meet these important requirements. Packaged in a 22x23x7-mm ChiP, the new […]
Automotive-compliant LDOs deliver150mA and 300mA
Diodes Inc introduced the company’s first low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators compliant to AEC-Q100 Grade 1. The AP7315Q and AP7343Q deliver 150mA and 300mA respectively and are suitable for any automotive application that requires tight voltage regulation across operating conditions, such as point-of-load power supplies in advanced driver assist systems (ADAS), RF communications, infotainment systems, and […]
Active 20-A 40-Vdc EMC filters provide MIL-STD voltage surge, spike protection
The TDK-Lambda FQB series of EMC filters have a rating of 40 Vdc at 20 A. Voltage surge and spike protection for dc-dc converters is accomplished through the use of active technology. The FQB has a rugged encapsulated quarter-brick package with a choice of flanged or non-flanged baseplates. These modules are suitable for use in […]
Rugged, wide-range input 6/10-W dc-dc power modules handle industrial, ITE apps
XP Power introduced two new series of wide input range chassis and DIN rail mount DC-DC converters that offer simple and rapid installation into a wide variety of industrial and ITE applications. The DTE06 and DTE10 DC-DC converters provide 6W and 10W of power and offer a 4:1 input range, giving a wide tolerance for […]
Ultra-miniature PoL regulators cover 4-8 A range
Flex Power Modules introduces the PMU8000 series of Point-of-Load (PoL) converters, providing an excellent price/performance ratio in a compact, low-profile package. The new regulators offer high efficiency of typically 95.3 % (at half load) and excellent thermal performance, meaning they can be used in harsh conditions. The ultra-miniature regulators include a loop optimization feature, which […]
Variable step-down dc-dc converter micromodules now come in 1 and 1.2-A versions
The MagI³C-VDMM (Variable Step Down Micro Module) power module family from Würth Elektronik is supplemented by more powerful 1 A and 1.2 A versions. The input voltage range (from 2.5 to 5.5 V) covers the standard 3.3 and 5 V bus voltages, and the adjustable output voltage ranges from 0.8 to 5.5 V. The modules […]
POL voltage regulator targets server, networking and telecom board apps
Infineon Technologies introduces the new OptiMOS IR3826(A)M integrated point-of-load DC-DC voltage regulator. It is a fully integrated and highly efficient device in two versions (IR3826AM for 16 A and IR3826M for 23 A) for applications such as netcom router and switches, datacom, telecom base stations, server, and enterprise storage. The voltage regulator can operate from an input voltage of 12 […]
