DC/DC Converters Deliver 94% Efficiency March 2002 Issue Published Date: March 01, 2002
The V7PB-06B series of non-isolated dc/dc converters provide a single output of 1.5V, 2.5V or 3.3V from a 5V input with full-load efficiencies up to 94%. Maximum output current is 6A. The single-in-line converters operate at temperatures up to 70¡C with no derating and are also available for the industrial range from -40¡C to 85¡C. Measuring only 2.16" long, targeted applications include computers, peripherals, telecommunications, networking, test equipment, and industrial automation systems using low-voltage silicon. The converters also include over-voltage and short-circuit protection, under-voltage lockout, fixed-frequency operation, and remote on and off control. Regardless of output voltage, price is $7.85 each/10K, with delivery times from four to six weeks. BEL FUSE INC., Jersey City, NJ. (800) 235-3873.
