The Eighth-Brick Value series is a new low cost, high
efficiency, open frame, isolated, up to 25 A converter in an
industry standard eighth-brick footprint and operates from a 36
Vdc to 75 Vdc supply. This new series elevates the power density
threshold for high-end application design requirements where
high output current at low voltages are required. The converter
architecture takes advantage of open-frame construction to
provide low mass and a low thermal impedance for a single board
design.
Additionally, a patent pending, full wave coupled inductor
topology yields some of the highest full load efficiencies in the
industry. All Eighth-Brick converters have, as standard features,
remote ON/OFF capability, adjustable output voltage trim from
80% to 110% of nominal, over-current/under-voltage protection,
and full international safety approval including EN60950-1 VDE
and cUL60950.
