NetPower Adds Low Power Converters To Sixteenth Brick Series

April 29, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

NetPower Technologies announced that it has added two new low-current families to their high efficiency sixteenth brick SRS Series. The 25A series of sixteenth bricks offers output power in the 25 to 60W range. The 15A series targets applications requiring power from 15 to 45W. Many customers are using 15A sixteenth bricks to replace traditional 1" x 2" converters, thereby gaining more power at higher efficiency in a smaller space.

These two sixteenth brick series share the same features as the 35A series announced by NetPower in February. NetPower claims that it has achieved high efficiencies for all models – with output voltages ranging from 0.8 to 15V. The 3.3Vo sixteenth bricks for example, provide 91% efficiency at both 18A output (25A series) and 10A output (15A series). Samples are available immediately.
