Bear Power Supplies Adds New 1.5W Mini DC-DC Converter

BEAR Power Supplies, Inc. announced its new BPS Series high-voltage dc-dc converters, featuring what the company claims is up to five times better efficiency and ten times better load regulation than similar products on the market. These high-reliability isolated 1.5W converters are claimed to be well-suited for powering PIN diodes and APDs in applications such as RF transceivers, programmable filters, and industrial and scientific instruments.

The ultra-miniature encapsulated package is only 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.4 inches (12.7 x 12.7 x 10.2 mm), and weighs just 4 grams. Both through-hole and SMT versions are available. BPS Series converters have a single input voltage (configurable from 3 to 12 Vdc) and a single output voltage (configurable from 50 to 220 Vdc). They operate from -55 to +85°C with no heat sink or electrical derating required.
