SAN JOSE, Calif., 4 Sept. 2008. FDK Corp. in San Jose, Calif., is introducing a regulated DC-DC converter in the industry-standard quarter-brick format that provides 18 amperes (216 Watts) of output current with minimal derating at elevated temperatures.
The FPQR48T01218 is in the FDK Sensei series of isolated DC-DC converters, and is designed for intermediate bus architecture (IBA) and distributed power architecture (DPA) in telecommunications, WiMAX, data processing, computing, and storage applications that require a regulated 12-volt distribution bus.
The FPQR48T01218 converter operates from a 36 to 75 volts DC input and provides 12 volts DC output. It delivers as much as 18 ampres with an efficiency of 91 percent. It comes in a 2.3-by-1.45-inch quarter-brick package and pin-out, and a body profile of 0.4 inches.
Standard features include input under-voltage lockout (UVLO), output over-current protection (OCP), output over-voltage protection (OVP), over-temperature protection (OTP), remote output voltage sense, and output voltage trim using industry-standard trim equations. The FPQR48T01218 converter meets the basic insulation requirements of EN60950 and features input to output DC isolation of 1500 volts DC.
