Industrial Level DC-DC Converters from 5W to 100W

June 22, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

VPT, Inc. has released the VHR Series of industrial level dc-dc converters and EMI filters. Available in models ranging from 5- to 100-Watts, the VHR Series of dc-dc converters are designed to operate at full-load over a wide temperature range of -40 to +100 degrees C. The VHR Series also offers fixed frequency operation, soft-start, magnetic feedback, inhibit and current-limit protection. Additionally, the VHR Series includes companion EMI filters ranging from 1- to 20-Amps.

The VHR series is offered in four product families rated for 5-, 15-, 30-, and 100-W. The 5-W VHR5-2800S/D series operates over an input voltage range of 15- to 50-Vdc with single output voltages of 3.3-, 5-, 12-, or 15-Vdc and duals of ±5-, ±12-, and ±15-Vdc. The 15-W VHR15-2800S/D series also operates over an input voltage range of 15- to 50-Vdc with single output voltages of 3.3-, 5-, 12-, or 15-Vdc and duals of ±5-, ±12-, and ±15-Vdc.

The 30W VHR30-2800S/D and VHR30-2800T operate over an input voltage of 15- to 50-Vdc for single- and dual-output units and an input range of 9- to 80-Vdc for triple-output units. These 30W dc-dc converters are offered with single output voltages of 3.3-, 5-, 12-, or 15-Vdc, dual-outputs of ±5-, ±12-, and ±15-Vdc and triple outputs of 3.3-, 5-, 12-, or 15-Vdc. The 100-W VHR100+2800S/D series operates over an input voltage range of 16- to 40-Vdc with single outputs of 3.3-, 5-, 7-, 12-, 15-, and 28-Vdc and dual outputs of ±12-, or ±15-Vdc.

"Engineers aren't looking for a 'one converter fits all' solution, so VPT supplies a wide range of high reliability standard products that best match specific application requirements," said VP of Sales and Marketing, Monty Pyle. "Just as space programs utilize converters designed for rigid MIL specs and radiation exposure, programs on the other end of the spectrum are aligned to solutions, like the VHR Series, that are cost effective and highly reliable without requiring the extensive environmental screening that is necessary for flight-critical programs."

The VHR Series design leverages VPT's decades of experience in proven military, aerospace and defense solutions. For budget-driven programs, the series offers a wide input voltage range for nominal 28-Volt input, an average 85% efficiency and low input and output ripple for reliable operational success, even in rugged environments.
