SynQor Launches the DualQor Series of DC/DC Converters

April 29, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

SynQor (Hudson, MA) has debuted a dual-output voltage, industry-standard quarter-brick sized isolated dc/dc converter. The DualQor Series is designed to deliver up to 60W of total output power at 5V and 3.3V, without an attached heatsink. The converter module employs synchronous rectification and a patented topology to achieve, the company claims, efficiencies up to 90 percent.

The DualQor converter has a 48V nominal input and meets transient load requirements up to 100V for 100ms. The quarter-brick sized units can deliver up to 18A at 3.3Vout or 12A at 5.0Vout, for a total of 60W of output power. The converter features a footprint of 1.45" x 2.3" x 0.4".

SynQor's new dual-output converter has neither a baseplate nor a heatsink. Control and protection features include on/off control, voltage trim, short-circuit, output over-voltage and thermal shutdown. The converters are targeted towards the converging telecom and datacom markets.

“The dual-output converter is a natural extension of our patented high-efficiency technology and will allow us to service a wider variety of applications," commented Martin Schlecht, CEO of SynQor.

The DualQor, dual-output quarter-brick converters are currently available. Standard modules are priced at $104 in 1,000-unit quantities.
