Convertors support migration to lower voltages
Ideal Power has released a new power version of its ESB Series (ESB-PV) of DC/DC convertors, which deliver high current and efficiency in an industry-standard sized standard package.
The module was designed to meet the high-power density requirements of the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture, it is capable of supporting multiple VRM/POL for multiple processor systems with high efficiency across the 36 to 75V input range.
The output voltage can be modified to obtain 5.0, 3.3, 2.5, 1.8 and 1.5V outputs for different intermediate bus voltage requirements.
The Sink-Plate technology helps the module operate under extreme environmental conditions to deliver high power.
It has an integrated heatsink with no need to mount it to any external cooling assemblies.
The module features a 2.0kV DC isolation rating between primary to secondary that is designed to meet international safety standards, including EN60950 and CSA/UL60950 providing full protection functions such as overvoltage protection, overtemperature protection and input undervoltage lockout.
It offers an output-voltage trim facility that enables the output to be adjusted between 90 and 110% of nominal.
