DC/DC convertors distribute power onboard

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 10, 2007

Onboard type DC/DC convertors are designed for the emerging trend of distributed power applications.

New from Sunpower (UK), the NSD-10 (10W) and NSD-15 (15W) series onboard type DC/DC convertors are designed for the emerging trend of distributed power applications.

Offering improved performance and a reduction in cost, compared with the superseded ASD-10H and ASD-15H the new NHD series maintain the same dimensions and pin assignment.

Featuring 4:1 wide DC input range and 1500V DC input/output isolation, the NSD10/15 series offer options of 12 or 48V DC inputs and 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, +/-5, +/-12 and +/-15V output options.

Standard functions include remote on/off control, short circuit, over load, and over voltage protections.

The 15W models also possess output voltage trimming function to give users more flexibility in their system design.

These economical devices are suitable for applications using distributed power architecture that transfer the high DC bus voltage to lower DC working voltage at the location of the load.
