Simple to implement, ultra compact, DC/DC converter series
It has been announced by Luso that HVM Technology have released the SK Series of miniature single-output, fully regulated DC to DC converters. They supply up to five kilovolts at one watt in an ultra compact package of less than one cubic inch and are suited for various applications, especially those with size constraints.
A high impedance programming input makes it very easy to use, eliminating the need for a low impedance adjustable power source voltage.
HVM’s proprietary, ultra-compact resonant converter design minimises quiescent current and operating noise while delivering maximum performance and reliability. The SK Series is sold with a factory installed copper adhesive shield for further noise reduction.
The devices operate directly from 5VDC ± 0.5VDC input. Output voltage is independent of input power voltage and is proportional to the programming voltage (zero to five volt produces zero to full scale output) and features excellent linearity. Adjustment pads are available to calibrate the unit to ±5% outside of factory settings. The output power rating is 1W. The SK Series is very stable over a wide operating temperature range.
The SK Series is also available with alternate output voltages.
