Q24S25018 DC-DC Converter Data Sheet
18-36 VDC Input; 1.5 VDC @ 25A Output
Description
The Q24S25018 surface mounted DC-DC converter offers
unprecedented performance in the industry-standard quarter
brick format. This is accomplished through the use of patent
pending circuit and packaging techniques to achieve ultra-
high efficiency, excellent thermal performance and a very
low body profile.
In telecommunications applications theQFamily 25 A con-
verters provide thermal performance that far exceeds all
quarter-bricks and is comparable even to existing half-bricks.
Low body profile and the preclusion of heat sinks minimize
airflow shadowing, thus enhancing cooling for downstream
devices. The use of 100% surface-mount technologies for
assembly, coupled with Power-One’s advanced electronic
and thermal circuitry and packaging, results in a product with
extremely high quality and reliability.
