According to Datel, its USQ Series of high-efficiency quarter-brick DC/DC convertors offer current-output capability, power and performance typically expected of half-brick devices.

According to Datel, its USQ Series of high-efficiency, quarter-brick DC/DC convertors offer current-output capability, power and performance typically expected of half-brick devices These versatile 20/30/40A DC/DC convertors (over 65 basic models) achieve their performance by using a fully synchronous forward topology and the latest components

They are fully line and load regulated (+0.05% max) and feature quick transient response (200us maximum to +1% of the final value for a 50 to 75% load step), 50mV of peak-peak noise, stable no-load operation (for power-conscious chips in "sleep" mode), user-optional remote on/off control (for power sequencing), and a plethora of protection schemes to protect both the convertor and its load, including an optional input overvoltage protection scheme.

Models with input voltages of 48V (36-75V DC) and 24V (18-36V DC) are provided.

The high efficiencies (to 91%) of the USQ models enable them to deliver fully rated output power from -40 to +60C (ambient) without heatsinks.

Heatsinks are available for demanding, extended-temperature-range applications to operate in temperatures up to +100C.

The 100% automatically assembled USQs achieve a high MTBF ( better than 2.5Mh) by exploiting reliable "snap together" planar magnetics rather than traditional wire-wound approaches.

The USQ Series receives full HALT (highly accelerated life testing), EMI/EMC compliance testing and IEC950/UL6050/EN60950 safety approval testing.
