1kW Isolated Quarter Brick for Intermediate Bus Architectures

June 19, 2018 by Paul Shepard

The DRQ-11.4/88-L48NB-C from Murata is a regulated converter module that delivers an 11.2V output from a 48-Vdc input in a quarter-brick open-frame package. The fully-isolated (1500Vdc) DRQ-11.4/88-L48NB-C series accept a 36- to 60-Vdc input voltage range and converts it to a low Vdc output that drives external point-of-load (PoL) dc-dc power converters such as Murata Power Solutions’ tiny Okami series which feature precise regulation directly at the load.

Applications include datacom and telecom installations, cellular dataphone repeaters, base stations, instruments and embedded systems. Wideband output ripple and noise is typical 100mV, peak-to-peak. The DRQ’s synchronous-rectifier topology and fixed frequency operations means efficiencies up to 96.3%.

A wealth of electronic protection features include input under voltage lockout, over voltage lockout protection, output current limit, current sharing, short circuit hiccup, Vout overshoot, and over temperature shutdown.

Available options include various pin lengths and the baseplate. Assembled using ISO-certified automated surface-mount techniques, the DRQ series is designed to meet all UL and IEC emissions, safety and flammability certifications.
