150W dc/dc converter achieves 92% efficiency
Murata has announced a new 150W isolated dc/dc converter, which it claims achieves up to 92.5% efficiency.
Packaged as an industry standard open frame quarter brick module with through hole mounting, the converter has a 2:1 input range of 36 to 75VDC around a nominal 48VDC input.
The single 29.8VDC nominal output can be trimmed from 23.83 (-20%) to 32.78 (+10%)VDC in order to accommodate an application's specific voltage requirements.
Murata says the converter can deliver up to 5Amps output current from the fully regulated output. An optional base plate is available for use in conduction cooled designs such as sealed box rf power amplifiers.
For these applications the converter and base plate are fixed directly to the host equipment chassis. In this way the operation of end equipment is maintained despite being situated in a potentially demanding physical environment.
