May 12, 2010 by Jeff Shepard

With the recent acquisition of RO Associates, Astrodyne has expanded its line of dc-dc converters to include the high-density MicroVerter® Series. This series ranges from 200-300W available in 3/4 brick. The MicroVerter Series features -40 to +100°C operation (-55°C optional), current sharing, remote sense, switching frequency synch option, and trimmable output for rugged and extreme applications.

The MicroVerter Series includes the 2nd Generation Series (UV-164) available with higher power and efficiency, same pin out – drop in, identical trim function, and available with full SnPb (no pure tin), SnPb solder (5/6 RoHS), or Lead Free RoHS options. Construction features driving the higher performance of the new UV-164 series include automated assembly, low capacitance insulated metal substrate technology, and our 4th generation planar transformer technology.

RO products are known for their module-based power conversion solutions, which are now used in military, industrial and other harsh environment markets. Current products are deployed on airborne, shipboard and land vehicle applications, as well as a variety of industrial and medical products.
