MAXETA iFA SERIES DC-DC POWER MODULES
The Maxeta series power modules are ideally
suited for wireless applications to power
various RF power amplifiers. With a typical
90.5% full load efficiency, a power density
greater than 110W per cubic inch and a total
power and current output capability of 600W
and 21.4A respectively, the Maxeta Series
offers the highest efficiency, power density and
usable output power in a standard full brick
package currently available. A wide output
voltage trim range, -40% to +10%, remote
sensing, power good indication, isolated
remote on/off control and single wire active
current sharing are standard features
enhancing versatility. The Maxeta series
power modules are also suited for other
telecommunication applications.
