New Device Features 250 Watts of Output Power with 250 to 420V Input Voltage Range
May 10, 2005 (Press Release) --
CARLSBAD, Calif. — May 10, 2005 — Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR), has announced the introduction of its newest generation high-power, half-brick, integrated DC/DC converters — the full-featured Astec AIH-300Vin Series from Astec Power (www.astecpower.com). With power density up to 90W/in3, the new devices can deliver up to 250 Watts of output power from an input range of 250VDC to 420VDC. The series includes six models with single-output DC voltages of 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V and 24V. Ideally suited for communications, industrial, non-patient connected medical equipment and ground base military applications, the devices are especially appropriate for compact enclosed systems and outdoor environments.
Beyond the significant advances in power density, the new AIH-300Vin Series offers embedded functions that will provide additional benefits to end users. The new converters provide an extensive set of “embedded” functions that include monitoring, protection, and adjustment capabilities as well as a communication bus that can store valuable end-user information that eliminates the need for designers to create these features externally on the circuit board. This flexibility frees up board space and allows for future increases the density of the design.
The new AIH-300Vin Series can be operated over a wide baseplate temperature range from 40ºC up to 100ºC while reaching 88 percent efficiency at 5V output. Key embedded functions include: current sharing, enable (positive and negative option), output voltage adjust; clock-in (for synchronization in parallel application), temperature monitoring and output current monitoring. With increasing needs for storing and communicating significant end-user information, the devices also include an I2 C Interface to an internal EEPROM for data storage.
In addition to these monitoring and control functions, the new AIH-300Vin Series offers a number of reliability safeguards such as overtemperature, overvoltage and overcurrent protections.
Designed with state-of-the-art components, the AIH-300Vin Series employs a fully surface-mount design that simplifies manufacturing while enhancing quality and reliability. As with all of Astec’s DC/DC products, the AIH-300Vin Series meets international performance and safety standards including those from UL, cUL, TUV and CE.
Priced from $115.00 each in OEM quantities, the 1.8V, 3.3V and 5V output models are available now, while the 12V, 15V and 24V output models will be available in July 2005.
