60W dual-output convertor needs no heatsink
DualQor dual-output industry-standard quarter-brick-sized isolated DC/DC convertors from SynQor are capable of delivering up to 60W at 5 and 3.3V, with no need for an attached heatsink.
Convertor produces 40A from a quarter brick
SynQor has introduced a 40A quarter-brick-sized isolated DC/DC convertor.
The Mega quarter-brick series also offers a very low profile of less than 8.5mm.
The QML series (quarter-brick, mega, low profile) has a 48V nominal input (35 to 75V range) and meets input voltage transient requirements up to 100V for 100ms.
Employing the industry standard quarter-brick footprint and pinout, the unit measures 36.8 x 58.4mm and has a very low profile of only 8.5mm, an emerging requirement for many global markets.

SynQor has added a 1.2V output module to its popular PowerQor Tera series of industry standard half-brick sized isolated DC/DC convertors.
Nonisolated SIP convertors boost efficiency
The NiQor series of DC/DC convertors can deliver up to 20A of total output current in an industry standard single-inline package.
The module uses synchronous rectification to achieve very high efficiency, resulting in no derating of output power up to 70C and 200 litre/min airflow.
The QML converter series will initially be offered at 3.3V with additional output voltages of 1.5, 1.8, 2.5 and 5V being released shortly.
SynQor's 15A Mega quarter-brick series provides an economical solution for applications needing lower current levels or less than 75W of output power.
The Mega series complements the existing 25A Giga series and the 40A Tera series to provide the broadest and most scalable product offering for high-efficiency, no-heatsink DC/DC convertors.
Each convertor in the Mega, Giga, Tera family has been optimised for efficiency, current/power output, and price.
This "plug and play" product offering allows a designer to test any one of the SynQor quarter-bricks in the prototype stage, and then select the appropriate module based on final requirements for useable power in their system.
"Our new quarter-brick Mega series expands SynQor's leading product offerings in the quarter-brick market to satisfy just about any power requirement", says Martin F Schlecht, SynQor CEO.
"Customers now have a complete array of scalable industry-standard "bricks" to match their individual needs for performance, price and functionality".
The QML convertor includes advanced control and protection features such as on/off control, voltage trim, remote sense, short circuit, output OVP, thermal shutdown and 2kV DC isolation rating.
These features allow advanced functionality, while standard safety certifications allow easy integration into the end user's product.
Production quantities of the 3.3V QML Mega quarter-brick converters will be available in February 2002 directly from SynQor and through their network of distributors.
The modules are priced at $68.50 in 1000 unit quantities.
Additional output voltages of 1.5, 1.8, 2.5 and 5V (all rated to 15A) will be available in Q2 2002. Request a free brochure from SynQor Europe ...
