Power-One Expands YEV POL DC-DC Converter Series

April 26, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Power-One, Inc. announced the expansion of its YEV Series of 3, 6, and 10A vertically-mounted, point-of-load (POL) dc-dc converter products to offer an extended operating temperature range option of -40 to +85°C. This extended range not only allows these YEV POLs to be used in commercial applications, but now adds the flexibility for use in typical telecom applications and others that may have environmentally challenging temperature conditions.

The YEV Series POLs utilize advanced topologies to deliver up to 94% efficient power conversion in communications and server applications. They also reduce the number of model numbers needed in inventory by combining wide input ranges, 4.5 to 13.8V, with user-defined 0.6 to 5.1V outputs. Additional features include: the capability to start up into pre-biased loads, no minimum-load operation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, an Enable input interface capability, and low-noise fixed-frequency topologies.

The 3, 6, and 10A YEV products utilize an industry-standard 0.41 x 0.40" (10.41 x 10.16mm) SIP footprint and a 0.65" (16.51mm) height. Protections include overcurrent and output overvoltage with automatic restart. Safety agency approvals include: UL/CSA 60950-1, EN 60950-1, and IEC EN 60950-1.

Evaluation models are usually available from stock.
