A new series of RoHS-compliant eighth-brick DC/DC convertors delivers high power within a compact footprint, with increased efficiency and hence reduced system heating.

Ideal for systems employing distributed power architectures, the new PAE50/100 series of RoHS-compliant eighth-brick DC/DC convertors from Lambda delivers high power within a compact footprint, with increased efficiency and hence reduced system heating.

Eight different models are available with output voltages from 1.8 to 5V.

The output performance of the PAE50/100 series is unmatched across the range, with output currents of 10 to 30A, delivering output power up to 100W.

Nominally 48V DC, the input voltage range is 36 to 76V.

Output voltage can be adjusted between -20% and +10% to give better optimisation of load, to an accuracy typically of 1%.

Typical efficiency is 90%.

The convertors have built-in overvoltage protection (manual reset or optional auto restart), remote sense and remote on/off capability.

The unit also has overcurrent protection with auto restart.

Housed in an industry standard package measuring only 57.9 x 8.5 x 22.76mm, the new eighth-brick DC/DC convertor series has the same industry standard pinout as the company's quarter-brick units.

The PAE50/100 is aimed at a wide range of applications including telecomms, datacommunications, networking equipment, test equipment, industrial electronics and distributed power architectures.

I/O isolation voltage is 1500V DC, and the convertor meets or exceeds safety approval standards.
