Crane Aerospace Introduces New Series of POL Converters
Crane Aerospace & Electronics introduced the MFP Series ™ of POL converters. The first products in a new line of Point of Load converters, the MFP Series is said to offer maximum flexibility through its rich feature set and is designed to produce stable power across a wide temperature range of -70 to +150° C. The MFP Series delivers exceptionally low noise performance, requiring no external capacitors.
Ed Fuhr, Vice President of Power Solutions for Crane Aerospace and Electronics, stated "This new addition to the Interpoint product line provides a simple solution that is easy to integrate into today’s demanding low voltage high current designs. We are truly excited about the strength and flexibility the MFP Series Point of Load converters bring to the marketplace."
The highly efficient MFP Series is the first of our new smaller, quieter, robust products coming to the market. Four preset output voltages of 0.8, 1.6, 2.5, and 3.3 can be configured with no trim resistors required. Trim resistors can be used to achieve voltages over the full range of 0.8 to 3.4V.
The MFP Series converters features include input synchronization from 300 to 600 kHz to sync to the system or other MFPs, output current monitor, output remote sense, output short circuit protection, and input inrush current limiting. With an input voltage range of 3.0 to 6.0V, the converters can handle up to a 15V transient for a full second in addition to full input over-voltage protection. The converters support input voltages as low as three volts with no external supply. The MFP Series converters will be available to the general market in the full range of screening options.
