SynQor Intros Peta Series Half-Brick Bus Converters

September 09, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

SynQor Inc. (Hudson, MA) introduced a series of high-efficiency, high-power, half-brick, dc/dc converters, the new 48V input Peta Series modules, which can deliver up to 240W of output power at 12V or 5V in a single-board, open-frame package. The Peta Series converters achieve a high efficiency of >93% and are suitable for creating an intermediate bus voltage for IBA applications requiring the full telco input range.

The PowerQor Peta half-brick line operates from a wide input-voltage range of 36V to 75V (48V nominal) and offers tightly regulated outputs of 12V (20A) and 5.0V (45A). With 2,000V of isolation, the converters can be used as single-output, dc/dc converter modules to power 5V and 12V applications or as a wide-input bus converter. When used to create an intermediate bus voltage, the modules accommodate a standard telecom 48V input range, and offer a regulated output of up to 240W of useable power. Non-isolated modules can then be used to create the low voltages required by the loads in the IBA application.

The PowerQor Peta modules employ the industry-standard, half-brick, pin-out and footprint, measuring 2.4in x 2.3in x 0.43in (61mm x 58.4mm x 10.8mm) and are manufactured with a single-board, open-frame construction. Each converter offers advanced control, safety and protection features including, on/off control, remote sense, no-load operation, output-voltage trim, input under-voltage and over-voltage lockout, output current limit, output over-voltage protection limit, temperature limit, as well as standard safety certifications.

Sample quantities of both the 5V and 12V converters are available immediately and production volume shipments are available with a six-week lead time. The units are priced at $90.60 in OEM quantities.
