Description
The QBE025A0B series of dc-dc converters are an expansion of a new generation of DC/DC power modules
designed to support 12Vdc intermediate bus applications where multiple low voltages are subsequently generated
using discrete/modular point of load (POL) converters. The QBE025A0B series provide up to 25A output current in
an industry standard quarter brick, which makes it an ideal choice for small space, high current and 12V
intermediate bus voltage applications. The converter incorporates synchronous rectification technology and
innovative packaging techniques to achieve ultra high efficiency reaching 94% at 12V full load. This leads to lower
power dissipation such that for many applications a heat sink is not required.
The QBE025A0B series power modules are isolated dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage range from
42 to 53 Vdc and provide a single regulated 12V output. The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile
polarity configurations and grounding connections. Built-in filtering for both input and output minimizes the need for
external filtering.
