Semiconductor Circuits Introduces 30W High Performance DOSA 32nd Brick DC-DC Converter

Semiconductor Circuits, Inc. introduced the CPZ "Cool Power Technologies" 30W, 1/32nd brick series of dc-dc converters. The product has a DOSA standard 32nd brick footprint that occupies 40% less area than a comparable 16th brick. These modules are ideal for space constrained distributed power and intermediate bus converter applications. The converter is offered in a wide 2:1 input voltage range of 36 – 75Vdc. Output voltages of 1.8V @ 12A, 3.3V @ 8A, 5.0V @ 5A & 12V @ 2.5A are standard, with other voltages available upon request.

The high efficiency of the CPZ series module (typ efficiency of 88% - 5V model) allows it to provide full output power @ 75C & 200lfm of airflow. It meets EN 60950 basic insulation requirements & provides 1500Vdc input to output isolation. The module complies with the typical industry requirements including no load operation and pre-biased load startup. Other features include: fixed-frequency operation, auto-restart OVP, OCP & OTP protections, UVLO, remote sense and +10/-20% output voltage trim using industry standard equations. Remote ON/OFF is standard with positive or negative logic options available.

These units are well suited for space constrained applications including net¬working and telecommunications, data-processing, railway, military, medical and aerospace equipment.
