GE's APXW012 dc-dc converter expands the company's ProLynx family with a higher-power alternative and added synchronization. It features an extended input voltage of 9- to 36-Vdc and programmable output voltage of 3- to 18-Vdc at 12 Amps, which allows use across a wide range of industrial applications. Offering 2.4 times the maximum power of previous ProLynx products, it is designed as part of a cost-effective, "drop-in" alternative to discrete power design. The converter's Tunable Loop™ feature reduces needed output capacitance and improves transient response.
The APXW012’s innovative, patented AutoLimit feature enables this module to deliver industry-leading power output across a wide voltage range, peaking at 108 Watts at an output voltage of 18-Vdc. It also can be configured to deliver negative output (-3.3 to -18 Volts), reducing parts inventory.
The ProLynx APXW012 is well-suited for the following applications: industrial (automation, displays, test and measurement, security, lighting, signage, controls/control boards, energy and theater production); medical (imaging, clinical and lab equipment and instrumentation); military; aerospace; automotive (accessories and transportation); wireless and communications industries.
