3W dc/dc converters cut board space in industrial applications

CUI has introduced two isolated dc/dc converter families for industrial, test & measurement and telecommunication applications.

The PQMC3-S and PQM3-M families are designed to increase total efficiency across the entire load curve and give improved performance at light and no loads. The devices are aimed primarily at battery powered applications where power draw under these conditions are a concern. Rated at 3W, the PQMC3-S series is available with input ranges of 4.5 to 9, 9 to 18, 18 to 36 or 36 to 75Vdc, while the PQM3-M series offers input ranges of 9 to 18, 18 to 36, or 36 to 75Vdc. Both families operate over a temperature range of -40 to 85°C at 100% load. The PQMC3-S series is housed in an 8pin SIP package measuring 22 x 9.5 x 12mm, while the PQM3-M series comes in a 16pin SMT package measuring 23.86 x 13.7 x 7.5mm.
