5:1 Input 150W Quarter Brick DC-DCs

July 06, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Gaia Converter is introducing this compact 150W dc-dc converter family targeting defense, airborne as well as high-end industrial applications. The new MGDS-155 Series 9- to 45-Vdc and 16- to 80-Vdc input voltage range makes it suited for all defense and airborne applications with wide input bus and transients variations. Compliance with Mil-Std-1275, 704 or DO-160 can be achieved without transient protection thanks to their input ability of up to 50V/100ms and 100V/100ms respectively while keeping efficiency as high as 92%. This unique performance is achieved as a result of Gaia's proprietary switching techniques.

These dc-dc converters are full featured and available with 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V or 28V output, additional features include the ability to be synchronized for better EMI control, and a full set of protections: under voltage lockout, over voltage protection, current limit & over temperature protection, and all units are permanently short circuit proof. Such high performances has been packed in the industry standard quarter brick package to help minimize size, weight and power but are still able to perform from -55 to +105 degrees C case temperature without derating to fit the most rugged environmental conditions.

DO-160, Mil-Std-461/704/1275 or equivalent compliant systems can be obtained by pairing this MGDS-155 with Gaia's complete line of EMI filters, Holdup modules and dc-dc converters for a complete power architecture up to 300W or more.
