• Up to 100% load imbalance
• Tracking, monotonic start-up
• Starts into pre-biased outputs

• Secondary side control, no optocouplers,
fast transient load response
• Available RoHS compliant
These are new high efficiency, open-frame, isolated 40 A converters in an industry standard dual
quarter-brick footprint. These converters deliver high output current at low voltages, and excel-
lent useable power density for today’s high end applications. This series features an input volt-
age range of 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and output voltages of 1.2 V/3.3 V, 1.5 V/3.3 V, 1.8 V/3.3 V 2.5
V/3.3 V, and 5 V/3.3 V. The output voltage on each model is adjustable from 90% to 110% of
the nominal value. Typical efficiencies are 90%. This series also has a remote ON/OFF capabili-
ty. Over-current and over-voltage protection features are included as standard. Designed to
meet international safety agency approvals, including EN60950-1 and UL/cUL60950, this series
reduces compliance costs and time to market.
