Power rating of 16th brick DC/DC converter series expanded
Semiconductor Circuits has expanded the power rating of the “Cool Power Technologies” wide input range 16th brick DC/DC converter series. These open frame modules provide up to 100W of output power at output voltages of 2.5, 3.3, 5.0, and 12V DC, suited for distributed power architecture applications or as a fully regulated intermediate bus converter.
These modules are compliant with DOSA 16th brick footprint and interface standards. These converters have a wide input voltage range of 18-36 or 36-75V DC and provide 2250V DC input to output isolation.
The CPT 2:1 input series meets EN 60950 basic insulation requirements and is UL94 V-0 flammability rated. The module complies with all of the typical industry requirements including no load operation, two times nominal input voltage transient and pre-biased load startup.
Other features include: fixed-frequency operation, auto-restart OVP, OCP and OTP protections, UVLO, remote sense and +10 or -20% output voltage trim using industry standard equations. Remote ON/OFF is standard with positive or negative logic options available.
The modules feature a standard 16th brick pinout with dimensions of 1.3x0.9” (33.02x22.86mm.) They have a maximum height of 0.404″ (10.3mm) which accommodates tight card spacing with minimal airflow blockage of downstream components.
