150 Watt, No Heatsink, Isolated DC/DC Converter
The PQ48150HGA10 PowerQor™ Giga converter
is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed
switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses
synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high
conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the
converter is so low that a heatsink is not required,
which saves cost, weight, height, and application
effort. The Giga series converters offer enhanced
useable output current in a standard “half-brick”
module. The Giga units also feature active current
sharing for N+1 and parallel applications.
