Beta Dyne Inc. (Bridgewater, MA) introduced its new U30 universal, dual 30W dc/dc converter, which incorporates patented technology and has an operating range that extends from 10Vdc to 30Vdc, 22Vdc to 68Vdc and 40Vdc to 120Vdc. The U30 is suitable for instrumentation, communications, DSL power, computers and test equipment.
The new converter features synchronous rectification for its main output (Vo2) and rectifying diodes for its auxiliary output (Vo1). Customers can specify any output voltage range from 2.5V to 18V for Vo1 and Vo2. Vo2 can deliver 25W, while Vo1 can deliver up to 10W with a total output power of 30W. The U30 can be set to accept an external sync signal or provide a sync signal as master to synchronize other slave units.
The converter's input stage is designed to meet UL60950 and EN55022 specifications. The U30 features up to 85 percent efficiency, synchronous rectification, a 3:1 input-voltage range, input under-voltage and over-voltage protection, input-to-output isolation, soft-start, master/slave synchronization, a hiccup mode, 2mA off-state current, adjustable outputs, 330kHz of switching frequency, thermal protection, dual isolated outputs, six-sided shielding, and optional external synchronization. The package size is 2in x 2in x 0.5in.
Units are available in four to six weeks ARO. Pricing is $69 per unit, with discounts available for larger quantities.
