November 28, 2011 - Semiconductor Circuits introduces CPZ 40W DC-DC converters. These modules provide a full 40W of power @ 55C & 200lfm of airflow and are ideal for space constrained distributed power / intermediate bus converter applications. The converter is offered in three wide 2:1 input voltage ranges of 9 - 18, 18 - 36 or 36 - 75VDC. Output voltages of 3.3, 5 & 12V are standard, with other voltages available upon request.
This pick & place capable surface-mount module uses solder ball pins that allow it to easily conform to large coplanarity deviations.
The product is 0.92” L x 0.90” W x 0.374” H (23.37mm x 22.86mm x 9.5mm) in size, thus using 30% less area than a comparable 16th brick.
The CPZ series is a high efficiency module with typical efficiencies exceeding 90% (5V & 12V models). It meets EN 60950 basic insulation requirements & provides 2250VDC input to output isolation. The module complies with the typical industry requirements including no load operation and pre-biased load startup. Other features include: fixed-frequency operation, auto-restart OVP, OCP & OTP protections, UVLO, remote sense and +10/-20% output voltage trim using industry standard equations. Remote ON/OFF is standard with positive or negative logic options available.
