SynQor DC-DC Converters Address Industrial and Medical Applications

August 08, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

SynQor announced the release of the IQ24-QTA family of isolated dc-dc converters to specifically address industrial and medical applications. The new family of 18-36V input products offers up to 120W or 40A in the industry standard 2.30" x 1.45" quarter brick footprint and pinout, at up to 93% efficiency.

Single output configurations available are 1.8V/40A; 3.3V/30A; 5V/24A; 7V/17A; 12V/10A; 15V/8A; 24V/5A; 30V/4A and 48V/2.5A. However, thanks to the wide output voltage trim range of +10%/-20%, a variety of different voltages can actually be provided between 1.45V and 53V. Further, the basic-grade galvanic isolation between input and output of 2250Vdc means the modules can be configured to supply either a positive or negative output, or can be wired in series to create higher output voltages.

The devices are available in one of three mechanical configurations - open frame for convection-cooled applications; with an attached baseplate for conduction-cooled applications; and fully encapsulated for harsh environment applications. The encapsulated option brings the additional benefit of having reinforced-grade isolation from input to output.

The IQ24-QTA series is capable of withstanding transients on the input up to 50V for 100ms. Calculated MTBF figures are in excess of 2MHrs, and all units are fully 6/6 RoHS compliant. Further control and protection features include remote sense, input under-voltage lockout, output OVP, current limit, short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. Operating temperature range is -40 to +100°C.

Sample and production quantities are available immediately with a stock to 8 week lead-time. The modules are priced at $103 in OEM quantities.
