Product Overview

This DC-DC converter module uses
2nd Generation power processing, control
and packaging technologies to provide the
performance, flexibility and cost effectiveness
expected of a mature power component.
For example, a plated-cavity core transformer
couples widely separated primary and
secondary windings, resulting in low in-to­out parasitic capacitance and noise.
High frequency ZCS/ZVS switching,
advanced power semiconductor packaging
and thermal management provide high
power density with low temperature
gradients. Extensive use of silicon
integration results in 1/3 the part count
of a 1st Generation converter.

Part Numbering

For pin styles see page 6. Slotted baseplate
(style 1) requires no designator. For
threaded baseplate add a “2” to the end of
the part number. For thru-hole, add a “3”.

See page 7 for dimensions.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Electrical characteristics apply over the full operating range of input voltage, output load (resistive) and baseplate temperature,
unless otherwise specified. All temperatures refer to the operating temperature at the center of the baseplate.

Baseplate Slotted (Style 1)

Slotted baseplate (style 1) requires no designator.
For threaded baseplate add a "2" to the end of the
part number. For thru-hole add a "3".

Pin style Short (Style 1)

For long pin configuration add “L”to the end of the
part number.

See page 7 for pin dimensions.
