Miniature dc/dc converter provides 4:1 input

The A1500RU series of 15-W dc/dc converters packaged in a 24-pin DIP package feature 4:1 inputs, 1,600Vdc isolation, and single or dual outputs. The series provides 14 models that operate from 9 to 36 or 18 to 75 Vdc inputs; providing outputs of 3.3, 5.1, 12, 15, ±5, ±12, or ±15 Vdc.

The dc/dc converters feature 90% efficiency, continuous short circuit protection, overload protection, and are compliant to EN55022 & EN6100-4. The MTBF (per MIL HDBK 217F) is >410 kh. The converters have a power density of 37.5 W/in3 . Each model is specified over the an operating temperature range from –40° to +85°C ambient. They suit board-level power applications including industrial process systems, wireless equipment, test and measurement instrumentation, and portable systems. (Ea/100: from $22.55 to $24.35 — available now.)
