Semiconductor Circuits unveil 4:1 input 16th brick DC-DC converters
Semiconductor Circuits has announced new members of its “Cool Power” product family. Featuring 4:1 input voltage ranges of 9 – 36 Vdc and 18 - 72 Vdc, the new CPT series converters offer up to 50 Watts output in a DOSA standard 16th brick DC-DC converter. These open frame modules provide up to 50 Watts of output power @ 55C & 200lfm of airflow – ideal for distributed power architecture applications or as a fully regulated intermediate bus converter.
ThesThe CPT series is a high efficiency module product family with efficiencies exceeding 90% from ½ load through full load. They meet EN 60950 basic insulation requirements and are UL94 V-0 flammability rated. Safety certification by TUV has been granted for some members of the family and the remaining ones are in the certification process. The modules comply with typical industry requirements including no load operation, 2 X nominal input voltage transient and pre-biased load startup.
Other features include: fixed-frequency operation, auto-restart OVP, OCP & OTP protections, UVLO, remote sense and +10%/-20% output voltage trim using industry standard equations. Remote ON/OFF is standard with positive or negative logic options available.
This product set features standard 16th brick pinout and dimensions of 1.3” L x 0.9” W (33mm x 22.9mm.) It has a maximum height of 9.5mm (0.375”) which accommodates tight card spacing with minimal airflow blockage of downstream components.
