Powerstax Announces New, Rapid, High Power Custom DC-DC Solution Range



Advanced Power Conversion PLC, the power solutions provider announces the release of new product to complement its Powerstax custom power range. Units are specifically designed to meet the need of companies seeking to reduce their time-to-market, lessen capital investment and minimise the risk often associated with the outsourcing of their unique power supply requirements.

With prototypes available in just 4 weeks from APC's own ISO9001 approved design, development and production facility at Farnborough, England the Flexistax D950 is a 950W DC-DC power conversion module developed specifically for applications where standard off-the-shelf solutions do not exist.

This rapid design and delivery time is achieved using a modular approach, centred on the the versatile Powerstax F501 full brick DC-DC converters.

In a highly efficient arrangement, two of APC's versatile Powerstax F501 full brick DC-DC converters of 500W are coupled with a custom 2 phase boost converter and customer specified connectors. (see fig 1) to present a complete bespoke solution.

The patented high efficiency topology and extremely flexible design of the F501 dc-dc converter modules means that standard items can be easily and quickly optimised for efficiency. This ensures system efficiency of 85% and a much lower level of heat dissipation, which allows the complete open construction unit (measuring 6.0in x 4.0in with a max height 1in including connections) for use cold wall mounting with no forced air cooling required.

The new Flexistax D950 has a wide and variable 11 - 36Vdc input and constant output between 12 and 48V. Utilising a simple, custom developed boost converter integrated into the design provides the boost in input voltage when conditions require.

The Flexistax D950 is ideal for use in vehicle mounted applications, the telecoms, automotive and industrial markets. Dependent upon specification, prices start from USD 750 each for volume quantities (500+ pcs), with prototype lead times from as little as 4 weeks.
