EMCO High Voltage Releases New Line of Ultra-Miniature DC to HVDC Converters

EMCO High Voltage Corp. released its A Series, a new line of ultra-miniature, dc to HV dc converters that set a new industry standard in high voltage miniaturization with a unique package occupying less than one tenth of a cubic inch of volume, and an extremely low profile of only 0.250 inches (6.35mm). Controllable output voltages range from 100 to 6000V. These component-sized converters are well suited for applications requiring minimal size and weight.

Turn-on voltage is very low at less than 0.7V, allowing for wide output voltage operating range. Use of a resonant, quasi-sinewave oscillator and fully shielded transformer result in clean, reliable high voltage conversion with inherently low ripple, EMI/RFI and input ripple current, making this product ideal for integration into noise sensitive equipment.

A separate high impedance control pin is standard, well suited for external error amplifier control in closed loop systems or simple on/off control. Output power is 1 watt standard, with 1.5W available as an option. No external components or minimum load are required. A proprietary encapsulation process and high performance formula are used to achieve excellent high voltage and thermal properties. Isolation is ± 500V bias on the output return. Input to output leakage current is very low at less than 100nA and coupling capacitance is also low at <250pF.
