DC/DC convertors have wide-ranging
inputs
An exceptionally wide input voltage range allows PXC5 DC/DC convertors to cover more applications with fewer different models.
An exceptionally wide input voltage range allows PXC5 DC/DC convertors from Lambda to cover more applications with fewer different models, allowing users to save money by reducing stocks In addition, the convertors can be used to ensure the stable operation of equipment in applications - such as battery-powered systems - where the input supply voltage may be subject to large fluctuations

General-purpose power supplies boost efficiency
The LS50, LS75 and LS100 have 88 to 264V AC inputs, while the LS150 is switch-selectable for 115 or 230V AC, minimising the cost.
Power supplies cater for short-term peaks
Units provide a very cost and space efficient solution compared with oversizing conventional power supplies just to handle the peak current.
Lambda's new single- and dual-output PXC5 convertors are rated at 5W and are offered in versions to suit supplies in the ranges 9-36 and 18-75V.
In either case, the convertors automatically maintain their output voltage within +/-0.2% of its nominal value over the whole input voltage range.
Designed to be equally suitable for applications in telecommunications, data communications, industrial automation and process control, PXC5 convertors incorporate five-sided shielding.
When used with a suitably designed printed circuit board, this means that they generate exceptionally low levels of radiated emissions, making them an ideal choice for use in sensitive equipment.
PXC5 DC/DC convertors are approved to a wide range of national and international standards, including UL, CSA, EN and CE, making it easier for users to obtain regulatory approval for equipment which incorporates them, even when it is to be sold in multiple markets around the world.
Single output PXC5 DC/DC convertors are available with output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 or 15V, while dual output models are offered with +/-5, +/-12 and +/-15V outputs.
Efficiency ranges from 73 to 82% depending on the model, and all types can be used at their full rated power over the temperature range -40 to +70C (higher with derating.) convertors in the PXC5 range use an industry-standard 24-pin DIL package and, measuring just 32 x 20 x 10mm, they are exceptionally economical in their use of valuable board real estate.
