Beta Dyne Launches 35W DC/DC Converter

October 22, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Beta Dyne Inc. (Bridgewater, MA) announced a new offering in its custom products lineup, a 35W high-voltage dc/dc converter that can provide isolated output voltages of 48Vdc (±24V) up to 450Vdc (±225V). Applications include telecommunications equipment, micro-mirror devices, DSL systems, remote feed systems, battery power systems, transducer drivers, and high-voltage power OPAMs.

When its dual-output is used, the converter can power any high-voltage power amplifier requiring ±24V to ±225V. When a pair of converters is employed, they can provide ±450V to power OPAMs. The converter has a 2:1 input-voltage range with nominal voltages of 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 48Vdc and 120Vdc.

Features of the new customizable converter include 86% efficiency, input under-voltage and over-voltage protection, input-to-output isolation, soft-start, dual short-circuit protection, 500µA off-state current, multiple converter synchronization, adjustable outputs, 100kHz switching frequency, thermal protection, and six-sided shielding. Package size is 2 in x 2in x 0.5in (50.8mm x 50.8mm x 12.7mm).

Units are available six to eight weeks ARO. Prices start at $84 per unit; discounts are available for larger quantities.
