Interpoint Expands POL Packaging Options with 16W Down-Leaded Models

Crane Aerospace & Electronics has added a new, down-leaded version of its Interpoint MFP Series Point of Load (POL) converters. This new version, available in both flanged and non-flanged packages, is a single output 16W dc-dc converter providing output voltages from 0.64 to 3.5 V from a source voltage of 3 to 6V with up to 90% efficiency and a flat efficiency curve down to 30% of maximum load. The MFP is small, measuring just 1.2 x 1.2 inches (30.5 x 30.5 mm) and includes built-in filtering and transient protection, eliminating the need for additional supporting circuitry. The MFP’s wide output range allows the power system engineer to specify and qualify one device for many output voltage applications.

“By adding a down-leaded package,” said Ed Fuhr, Vice President of Power Solutions for Crane Aerospace & Electronics, “we are providing the additional design versatility and flexibility our customers are asking for.”

Features of the MFP series include: Operating temperature -55° to +125°C; Side-leaded qualified to MIL-PRF-38534 Class H see Space Converters for Class K MFP; Input voltage range 3.0 to 6.0 Vdc; Input transient survivability to 15 VIN for up to 1 sec.; Inhibit and sync functions; Current monitoring; Current sharing pin for parallel operation; Five pin-selectable, preset output voltages of 0.64-, 0.8-, 1.6-, 2.5- and 3.3-Vdc and the output voltage is continuously adjustable from 0.8 to 3.5 V with resistors; Indefinite output short circuit protection; Adjustable start-up sequencing; Remote sense and voltage margining.
