Half-brick IBA converter boasts higher output power
SynQor is launching the PQ60120HZA50 DC/DC converter. This half-brick sized unit, measuring 2.40 x2.30 x0.413inch in open-frame format, offers a regulated output of 12V up to a maximum rating of 50A from the full telecom input voltage range of 35-75V. Targeting Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) applications, it is claimed to have the highest output power currently available in the marketplace for a half-brick converter.
Employing SynQor's patented topology, and making use of the latest high-performance components, the PQ60120HZA50 delivers the maximum 50A rating at up to 95 per cent efficiency; half-load efficiency performance is even greater at 96.5 per cent. This exceptional performance maximises the available output power of the open-frame unit under typical operating conditions, delivering, for example, up to 36A in a 55degC ambient with just 200LFM of airflow. For extended temperature operation, or to provide the full 600W rated power of the device, an optional encased unit is also available to enable the use of a heatsink, or for attachment to a cold plate.
The PQ60120HZA50 is capable of withstanding transients on the input to 100V for 100ms and has a basic isolation level from input to output of 2250V DC. Control and protection features include remote sense, an ultra-wide output voltage trim range of -50 to +5 per cent, input under-voltage lockout, output OVP, current limit, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. Operating temperature range is -40 to +100degC. The unit is also fully RoHS 6/6 compliant.
Sample and production quantities are available immediately with a stock to 12 week lead-time. The PQ60120HZA50 is priced at $110 in 1000-piece quantities. For additional information, contact your local SynQor representative or visit www.synqor.com.
