Quarter brick IBC module supplies 850-W

The IB050Q096T80N1-00 quarter-brick intermediate bus converters (IBCs) modules provide up to 850-W of output power. They suit demanding applications spanning enterprise, optical access and storage networks.

The quarter-brick modules are available as a drop-in upgrade for the industry standard 5:1 fixed ratio converters. They operate from a 36 to 60–V input with 2,250–Vdc isolation from input to output, and achieve 98% peak efficiency. The supplies are rated at up to 80 A, 850 W from 55 to 60–Vin and 550–W from 36–Vin. The 2.30 x 1.45 x 0.42–in. quarter-brick modules allow designers to conserve board space and achieve full-load operation at 50°C with 400-lfm airflow. The modules are pin-compatible with industry standard square wave bus converters, and operate at 1 MHz. ($0.09/W in OEM qty — available now.)
