Description
The QKS is a high density and highly efficient, isolated DC-DC converter that operates over an input voltage range
of 36 VDC to 75VDC. It provides a 12 VDC nominal, loosely-regulated output voltage at up to 21 ADC of current.
The converter is an ideal choice for building a complete power system utilizing the Intermediate Bus Architecture
(IBA). The thermally-optimized construction of the QKS allows the converter to provide high output current over a
wide operating temperature range while maintaining a safe guardband for component electrical and thermal
ratings. The QKS employs 100% surface-mount components for consistency and reliability in the production
process.
