Aimtec add three series to AMxQ-Z family of DC/DC converters
With a focus on product minimization, Aimtec has launched three new series of DC/DC converters featuring multilayer ceramic capacitors which provide many technological advantages over traditional tantalum capacitors.
MLCCIn addition to being non-polarized, the use of MLCCs in Aimtec’s AMxQ-Z power supplies provides suppressed power line noise, reduced harmonics from ripple currents, lower resistance and inductance, which helps to prevent the device and the circuit from overheating.
The AMxQ-Z family boast an exceptionally low profile of only 7mm (including stand offs), for applications in which component height is critical.
Available in 2 watt, 3 watt and 6 watt power ranges, the AMxQ-Z series feature wide (2:1) input ranges of 4.5-9, 9-18, 18-36 and 36-75 VDC, stepping down to tightly related (±1%) single and dual outputs of ±12 and ±15 VDC at efficiency rates as high as 88%.
Operating at temperature ranges of -40°C to +85°C (+60°C with derating), the AM2Q-Z (2watt), AM3Q-Z (3watt) and AM6Q-Z (6watt) feature I/O isolation of 500VAC, continuous short circuit protection, over voltage protection and designed to meet IEC/EN 60950-1 for IT based applications.
