The SMT20C Series is a new high density open frame non-isolated converter for space-sensitive
applications. Each model has a wide input range (4.5 Vdc to 5.5 Vdc or 10.2 Vdc to 13.8 Vdc) and
offers a wide 0.9 Vdc to 3.3/5 V output voltage range with a 20 A load. An external resistor adjusts
the output voltage from its pre-set value of 0.9 V to any value up to the maximum allowed value for
that model. Typical efficiencies are 87% for the 5 V input version and 91% for the 12 V input
version at full load conditions. The SMT20C series offers remote ON/OFF and overcurrent
protection as standard. With full international safety approval including EN60950 and
UL/cUL60950, the SMT20C reduces compliance costs and time to market.
