48V 15 WATT ISOLATED
DC-DC CONVERTER
• -40°C to +85°C Operating
Temperature Range
• 1500 VDC Isolation
• Power Density 15 Watts/in
• Wide Input Voltage Range
36V to 75V
• 82% Efficiency
• Small Footprint
• Fast Transient Response
• UL Approved
3
48V DC-DC Converters advance the state-ofthe-art for board-mounted converters by
employing high switching frequencies greater
than 650 KHz and planar magnetics and surface-mount construction. They feature the
industry’s smallest footprint, a power density of
15 Watts/in
They are designed for Telecom, Industrial,
Computer, Medical, and other distributed
power applications requiring input-to-output
isolation and an industrial temperature range.
