SynQor Adds 100A Half-Bricks to Peta Series

SynQor Inc. (Hudson, MA) announced a new line of high-current, high-efficiency, half-brick, dc/dc converters to its PowerQor® Peta Series, which can deliver up to 100A of output current in a single-board, open-frame package. The Peta Series converters use synchronous rectification and patented topology to achieve high efficiency (90% for 1.5Vout at 50A, 84% at 100A).

The PowerQor Peta half-brick line includes output voltages of 1.2V (100A), 1.5V (100A) and 1.8V (80A). All units draw power from a 48V nominal input (35V to 75V) and employ the industry-standard half-brick footprint, measuring 2.4in x 2.3in x 0.45in. The optional active current sharing feature allows for parallel operation to achieve higher power levels and N+1 redundancy for hot-swap applications.

The 100A Peta series extends SynQor’s line of Kilo, Mega, Giga and Tera half-brick, quarter-brick and eighth-brick modules to offer high-efficiency converters from 15A to 100A for any power application. The high-current, Peta half-brick modules are suitable for telecom and datacom applications using distributed power architectures.

Sample quantities of the 1.2V, 1.5V and 1.8V converters are available immediately and production volume shipments are available with a six-week lead time. Additional output voltages of 2.5V and 3.3V will be available in the fourth quarter of 2003. The modules are priced at $90.60 in OEM quantities.
