Tyco Adds QRW010/JRW017/Austin Lynx SIP Modules


New Products Sep 24, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Tyco Electronics Power Systems (Dallas, TX) announced four new dc/dc converters designed to extend the options in powering the different stages of 12V intermediate bus architectures. The four modules enhance the cost and board space benefits of employing a 12V architecture while also delivering high efficiency. The modules are targeted at a broad range of communications manufacturers, including server and optical equipment OEMs.

The QRW010 and JRW017 deliver an isolated 12V output to set up a 12V intermediate bus architecture. The Austin Lynx SIP modules are additions to Tyco’s non-isolated, Austin Lynx range designed to run from a 12V intermediate bus to create multiple voltages. The QRW010 and JRW017 operate with input voltages ranging from 36Vdc to 75Vdc, delivering output voltages of 12V at 10A and 17A, respectively. Both achieve 92 percent efficiency at full load.

The 12V input Austin Lynx modules are available in a SIP (single-in-line)

vertical, through-hole-mounted version and a SMT (surface-mount technology) package for use in automated production. Both new models feature a 12V at 10A input-voltage, output voltages of 0.9V to 5V, synchronous rectification technology, ultra-high efficiency of 94 percent at a 5V output, an

adjustment trim of ±10 percent, a board space of 2in x 0.50in x 0.32in (50.80mm x 12.7mm x 8.10mm), remote output-voltage

sensing, over-temperature and over-current protection, output-voltage adjustment, and remote on/off.

The QRW010 modules are priced at $67.90 in 1,000-unit quantities, the JRW017 modules are priced at $91.20 in 1,000-unit quantities, and the Austin Lynx SIP modules are priced at $13.75 in 1,000-unit quantities.
