Aimtec Releases 15W DC-DC Converters with a Power Density of 37.5W/in3 in a 1 x 1 Package

Aimtec announced its newest family of high efficiency (up to 89%), dc-dc converters, AM15C-Z and AM15CW-Z, provide a high power density of 37.5W/in3 in an ultra compact package (1 x 1"), which the company says is a real estate savings of up to 50% compared to other standard 15W converters in the market.

The AM15C-Z series features wide 2:1 input voltages ranges of 9~18, 18~36 and 36~75V, while the AM15CW-Z series features ultra-wide 4:1 input voltage ranges of 9~36V and 18~75V for use in a large array of industrial and IT applications.

Both series feature highly regulated and protected single and dual output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 and 15Vdc which are precisely controlled with a tight load regulation of ±0.5% for the single output models and ±1% for the dual output models, with no minimum load required. With an I/O isolation of 1600Vdc, these robust converters offer the additional output protections of continuous short circuit protection with auto-recovery restart, over current and over voltage protection with a strict line load regulation of ±0.2%.

Both series are designed to operate within a wide industrial operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C, which is essential for ensuring reliable product performance in the extreme weather conditions associated with outdoor applications. Positive logic remote ON/OFF functionality adds value for portable power applications by helping to conserve the devices precious battery power.

The AM15CW-Z and theAM15C-Z hold the CE mark for the EN55022 class A standard for information technology equipment, in addition to being designed to meet the IEC/EN60950-1 standard for industrial applications.

RoHS compliant, the units are priced starting at $26.63/1000+ pieces.
