1000W Step-Up DC-DC Converter Modules
Powerstax, a specialist provider of highly optimized power sources, has added to its portfolio of highly optimized power solutions with the introduction of Flexistax D1001 DC-DC converter module. Based on the company's proprietary, field proven F501 brick technology, this 1000W rated module is capable of supporting typical system efficiency levels of 86%. It exhibits a high degree of operational flexibility, with an input voltage range covering 10VDC to 36VDC and a choice of 12VDC, 13.8VDC, 15VDC, 24VDC, 28VDC, 32VDC and 48VDC standard outputs.
A 4-channel boost converter enables DC voltages to be stepped up or down as required. This boost converter delivers a non-isolated bus voltage that drives the two parallel configured brick converters - so that the regulation, isolation (2200VDC) and stability (<2% peak-to-peak ripple) needed by modern, sophisticated electronics can be fully realized. Conduction cooled using a baseplate, the D1001 has an operational temperature range that spans from -25°C to +85°C.
With a compact form factor measuring just 238mm x 145mm x 30.85mm (9.4" x 5.7" x 1.2"), this open construction unit can be cold wall mounted - allowing the baseplate temperature to be kept at 100°C or below without the need for complex, expensive thermal management. An array of protection mechanisms are incorporated into the module to ensure functional longevity. These include an I2C temperature sensor to prevent overheating and an automatic reverse polarity to safeguard against mixing up of power connections.
These DC-DC converter products are highly suited to implementation in remote battery, generator or fuel cell powered sites. They are fully compliant with the EN60950-1 safety standard.
