DC-DC Converter Module

Features

• Input voltages: 24, 48, 300 & 375 V

• DC outputs: 3.3 V– 48 V

• Programmable output: 10 to 110%

• Regulation: ±0.5% no load to full load

• Efficiency: Up to 88%

• Max operating temp: 100°C, full load

• Power Density: Up to 120 W/cubic Inch

• Parallelable, with N+M fault tolerance

Product Overview

These DC-DC converter modules use
advanced power processing, control and
packaging technologies to provide the
performance, flexibility, reliability and
cost effectiveness of a mature power
component. High frequency ZCS/ZVS
switching provide high power density
with low noise and high efficiency.

Applications

Off-line systems with autoranging or
PFC front-ends, industrial and process
control, distributed power, medical, ATE,
communications, defense, aerospace

Part Numbering

e.g. V300B12E250BL2

For a description of pin options, see
page 6.Baseplate options include slotted
flanges, threaded and through-hole. See
page 7 for dimensions. For other package
sizes and powerlevels, see the FasTrak
Maxi (full size) and FasTrak Micro
