C&D Technologies Unveils NFA Series DC-DC Converters

C&D Technologies Inc. (Tucson, AZ) unveiled three new non-isolated NFA Series dc-dc converters to its Volant family of point-of-load (POL) products. Available in industry-standard packages with a surface-mount, open-frame, pin through-hole design, the new NFA Series converters have a minimal size and footprint, making them suitable for high-density applications. Offered in 10 A, 16 A and 20 A models, the high reliability converters boast efficiencies of up to 95%.

The 20 A model has a versatile pin-out and package, while the 10 A and 16 A models are Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) compatible. With an extended input-voltage range of 6 V to 14 V, the NFA Series supports 4:1, 5:1 and 6:1 intermediate bus converters Intermediate Bus Architecture applications, and are output-voltage programmable by an external resistor.

Available in positive and negative enable logic models, the NFA Series POL converters offer monotonic startup with pre-bias and an optional power-good signal. For system level power-up, the NFA Series also has a sequence feature for voltage turn-on/off tracking, which enables designers to control voltage rails to start up in a sequential manner without the need for external circuitry.
