Wide-range POL convertor tackles many tasks

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 17, 2007

Robustly designed 25A POL convertor eliminates the need for multiple host-system circuit-pack designs and reduces the inventory for board-level point-of-load applications.

New from Power-One, the YV12T25 is a robustly designed 25A POL convertor that delivers 0.8 to 5.5V DC from a 10 to 14V DC input, eliminating the need for multiple host-system circuit-pack designs, and reducing the number of part numbers needed in inventory for board-level point-of-load applications.

Efficiencies exceeding 94%, combined with advanced thermal management techniques, facilitate operation over a -40 to +85C ambient temperature range.

Other high-performance features include no minimum load operation, the capability to start up into prebiased loads, and auto-reset output overcurrent protection.

Interface features include remote on/off and remote sense.

A compact 31.7 x 50.8 x 8.50mm SIL package minimises impedance to system airflow, thus enhancing cooling for both upstream and downstream devices.

The use of automation for assembly, coupled with advanced power electronics and thermal design, facilitates a 23 million hour MTBF.

Compliances include RoHS, UL94V0 flammability and UL60950.

Certification to IEC/EN60950 is pending.

Pricing is US $19.00 each in quantities of 1000.

Samples are usually available from stock.

Production quantities are typically available in six to eight weeks.
