Semiconductor Circuits Introduces 40W High Performance 32nd Brick DC-DC Converter
Semiconductor Circuits, Inc. introduced the CPZ "Cool Power Technologies" 40W, 32nd brick series of dc-dc converters. This pick & place capable surface-mount module uses solder ball pins that allow it to easily conform to large coplanarity deviations.
The product is 0.92 x 0.90 x 0.374" (23.37 x 22.86 x 9.5mm) in size, thus using 30% less area than a comparable 16th brick. These modules provide a full 40W of power @ 55C & 200lfm of airflow and are well suited for space constrained distributed power/intermediate bus converter applications. The converter is offered in three wide 2:1 input voltage ranges of 9 – 18, 18 – 36 or 36 – 75Vdc. Output voltages of 3.3, 5 & 12V are standard, with other voltages available upon request.
The CPZ series is a high efficiency module with typical efficiencies exceeding 90% (5 & 12V models). It meets EN 60950 basic insulation requirements & provides 2250Vdc input to output isolation. The module complies with the typical industry requirements including no load operation and pre-biased load startup. Other features include: fixed-frequency operation, auto-restart OVP, OCP & OTP protections, UVLO, remote sense and +10/-20% output voltage trim using industry standard equations. Remote ON/OFF is standard with positive or negative logic options available.
These units are well suited for space constrained applications including networking and telecommunications, data-processing, railway, military, medical and aerospace equipment.
