March 21, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Delta Electronics Inc. (Taipei, Taiwan) introduced its new 45 W Q48DW dual-output, quarter-brick converter to its Delphi Series of board-mounted dc-dc power converters. The Q48DW converter provides two positive outputs of up to 45 W of power in a cost-effective, industry-standard, quarter-brick footprint.

The Delphi Series Q48DW converter operates from a wide input-voltage range of 36 V to 75 V, along with an array of outputs comprised of the 2.5 V/3.3 V, 1.8 V/3.3 V, 1.5 V/3.3 V, 1.2 V/3.3 V and 1.0 V/3.3 V. The Q48DW provides a full 8 A of output current for the 3.3 Vout unit, and up to 13 A for several other outputs (1.5 V and below). The quarter-brick-sized Q48DW unit features high efficiencies of up to 87% at full load. As a factory option, either of the two outputs may be selected to come up first.

The Delphi Series Q48DV converters are available for immediate delivery. In OEM quantities of 1,000 pieces, the unit price is $25. Standard lead-time for this product is from stock to eight weeks, depending on the outputs and volume.
