AEO_ALO40/35/30/20/10x48 Series
(Single Output 8th Brick)
AEO40x48 / ALO40x48 Single Output 8th Brick: Baseplate or Open-Frame Module
The AEO40x48 / ALO40x48 series is Astec’s High Current 8th Brick industry standard offering. Operating from an input voltage
range of 36V to 75V, the series provides 7 configured outputs starting from 1.2V all the way up to 12V. It delivers up to 40A max
current for 1.8V and lower at impressive levels of efficiency. It provides tight regulation and exhibits clean and monotonic output
start up characteristics. The AEO_ALO series comes with industry standard features such as Input UVLO; non-latching OCP,
OVP and OTP; Output Trim; Differential Remote Sense pins. Both baseplate (AEO) and open frame (ALO) construction are
available as well as TH or SMT termination. With its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C ambient, the converters
are deployable into almost any environment.
