New Products Sep 20, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Celestica Power Systems (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) announced the expansion of its IBC Series with a range of industry-leading, high-performance, eighth-brick, fixed-ratio bus converters, the EUS models, for use in intermediate bus architectures within computing and telecommunications equipment.

The EUS models offer a full selection of 4:1, 5:1 and 6:1 fixed voltage conversion ratios in an eighth-brick package. With a wide input-voltage range of 36 V to 55 V, the EUS models claim leading metrics such as current thermal derating performance and efficiencies of up to 96.1%. Rated up to 240 W, the EUS models are designed in an industry-standard eighth-brick form factor, with dimensions of 2.28 in x 0.90 in x 0.49 in. Available in both positive and negative enable logic models, the isolated dc-dc converters can also be used in parallel for higher output power.

The IBC Series EUS models are available now. Pricing at 1,000 units ranges from $30 to $34, based on output voltage.
