Artesyn Technologies has introduced a new line of ultra low profile, high power DC/DC converters for distributed power architectures. The first products in the series include a single-output eighth-brick and dual-output quarter-brick. According to the manufacturer, all products employ highly innovative power conversion technology, and provide leading breakout performance in four categories: output current capability, efficiency, height and cost.
The eighth-brick model provides a single 1,8 V output operating at a full-load efficiency of 89%. Future models will include 1,2 V, 2,5 V and 3,3 V configurations. The product is capable of delivering 40 A of output current.
The second product family of quarter-brick converters offers 3,3 V/1,2 V or 3,3 V/1,8 V dual-output configurations, and is designed for through-hole mounting. Both models feature independently regulated outputs, with each channel capable of delivering up to 20A at 90% efficiency. Power design engineers can now replace two 20 A quarter-bricks with one dual-output 20 A quarter-brick, reducing board space by 50%.
All converters in the series are based on an open-frame, single board package, specifically designed for operation without a heatsink. Planar magnetics limits their height to just 7,7 mm, making them ideal for high performance applications that use tight inter-board rack spacing such as mobile switching, optical switches, high-end servers, and network routers.
