DC to DC Power Supplies (Converters)
Converter provides low voltage inputs for ASICs and DSPs.
Press Release Summary:
Model WPA60 DC-DC converter meets EN60950, UL60950, and CSA safety requirements. Two independently regulated outputs deliver 1.8 and 3.3 V, respectively, and provide full regulation down to zero load. Power can be traded between outputs up to 60 W. Input voltage range is 36 to 75 V and includes input and output filtering. Using fixed switching frequency of 350 kHz, WPA60 operates at 90% efficiency. Minimum isolation voltage is 2,000 Vdc.
Original Press Release:
Dual Output 60W DC-DC Converter Provides Flexible Delivery of Low Voltage Inputs for ASICs and DSPs in High-Reliability Systems
12th November 2002, Munich, Germany - C&D Technologies has launched a high-performance, dual output 60W DC-DC converter that
meets EN60950, UL60950 and CSA safety requirements and that significantly simplifies delivery of the low operating voltages required by modern ASIC and DSP technologies.
Ideal for distributed power architectures (DPAs) in high-end telecommunication systems, the WPA60 DC-DC converter will suit many applications where low-voltage power rails, high levels of
reliability, and insulation in accordance with safety standards are key design criteria. Two independently regulated outputs deliver 1.8V and 3.3V respectively and provide full regulation down to zero load. For maximum design flexibility power can be traded between the outputs up to the full 60W.
The WPA60 has a wide input voltage range of 36V to 75V and features input and output filtering as standard. Built-in protection functionality includes under voltage lock out, a soft start capability, over current and over voltage protection, and over temperature shutdown. To ensure maximum availability an automatic reset function allows the converter to automatically resume operation once the fault condition is removed. In addition, a remote on/off capability allows the converter to be switched on and off using either negative or positive logic signals.
Using a fixed switching frequency of 350kHz, the new WPA60 operates with efficiency levels of around 90%. Minimum isolation voltage is rated at 2000VDC and maximum ripple and noise on both outputs is just 60mV (p-p). The converter can be used in temperatures from -40°C to 100°C and has an MTTF rating of one million hours.
Available now, pricing for the WPA60 is $55 in OEM quantities.
