SynQor Announces New Line of High Power Industrial Half-Brick DC-DC Converters

July 26, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

SynQor, Inc. announces a new line of industrial products aimed at applications requiring large amounts of power in limited space. The InQor Zeta line of dc-dc converters is designed to provide isolated dc power for electronics such as power amplifiers, and systems requiring high power bus voltages. These fixed-switching frequency converters use SynQor’s synchronous rectifier based technology to achieve extremely high efficiencies, up to 95% at full load. This performance allows the unit to provide industry leading output power levels of up to 600W in a standard half-brick package (2.49 x 2.39 x 0.51").

The InQor Zeta series of converters are offered encased for exceptional performance in harsh environments and can provide full output power at case temperatures between -40 and 100°C. Nominal input voltages include 32V (9 to 70V), 48V (34 to 75V), and 24V (18 to 36V) with many output voltage offerings between 5 and 50V. The optional built-in current sharing feature allows for easy paralleling of modules for applications requiring more than 1kW of power or module redundancy with limited external components.

Features include remote on/off control, very wide +10 to -50% output voltage trim range, remote output voltage sense, input under-voltage lockout, output over-voltage protection, active back bias limiting, thermal shutdown, output current limit, short circuit protection, and optional current share. The InQor half-brick Zeta series is designed for 2250Vdc and 30MΩ input-to-output isolation, are 6/6 RoHS compliant, and are rated with MTBF values in excess of 1.3M hours at 70°C (MIL-217).

The InQor Zeta series of products are available immediately for evaluation and qualification. Production quantities are available with 8 to 10-week lead-times, depending on volumes.
