1/16th-brick converters suit low-profile apps
The PKU-C series of isolated dc/dc power converters are provided in an industry-standard sixteenth-brick form factor and deliver an output current up to 20 A with an output power equivalent to 100 W. The converters suit the need for mid-range IT and communications power applications including decentralized local data-storage equipment that requires 12- and 5-V to power disk drives.
The dc/dc converters operate from a 36 to 75V input range and suit applications powered by a centralized 48V bus. The 12V PKU4104C and 5V PKU4105C feature a floating output and can be combined to power disk-drive-array application requiring more than 100 W. They provide 92.7% efficiency at 50% load and 12V output. The converters deliver full performance up to 80C with a 3.0 m/s airflow, and full output power with natural convection up to 65C.
