Artesyn Technologies Inc. (Boca Raton, FL) announced two new isolated dc/dc converters to its Typhoon™ family, the 100A, 1.2V-output LQS100A48-1V2 that offers a full-load efficiency of 86%, and the 80A, 1.8V-output LQS80A48-1V8 with 90% efficiency at full load. Future configurations will add 1.5V, 2.5V and 3.3V output options. The modules operate from a standard 48V input supply - over the full 36Vdc to 75Vdc input-voltage range - and offer an output voltage that is adjustable from 110% down to 80% of nominal value.
The converters feature comprehensive short-circuit, over-voltage and thermal protection, and utilize a single-board, open-frame construction featuring a new "double-pin" footprint standard for high-current quarter bricks. All Typhoon brick converters are characterized for operation up to +85°C ambient; require no heatsink; and have no minimum load requirement. The output current is believed to be up to 50% higher than competitive quarter brick products, and equivalent or greater than most current "high-end" half-bricks.
Samples are available for immediate delivery. In OEM quantities of 1,000, unit prices for the modules start at $105.77, with a typical lead-time of 10 to 12 weeks.
