Industrial DC-DC Converters

Artesyn Embedded Technologies produces an extensive and rapidly growing range of small, isolated DC-DC converters for low-power industrial applications in areas such as automation, instrumentation, test and measurement, and telecommunications.

Artesyn's portfolio of industrial DC-DC converters for low-power applications comprises four different families, all of which are suitable for ruggedized applications in harsh environments. They are fully encapsulated and housed in metal cases for robustness, accommodate a wide operating temperature range, and are high-efficiency, high power density designs. Spanning power ratings from 3 W to 50 W, with single and dual outputs from 2.5 V to 24 V and ±5 V to ±15 V, the converters feature wide input voltage ranges for maximum design-in flexibility.

Features and Benefits
  • All families are fully encapsulated, which gives mechanical strength and rugged designs that can withstand high vibration
  • Standard tube packaging
  • All of the metal-cased units have a low radiated EMI signature
  • All of the units are fully isolated from 1500 VDC to 4200 VDC (medical models)
  • All of the units are on industry standard pin-footprints
  • Most models have an enable function
  • All units have an environmental temperature rating of -40°C to 80°C
  • All units have optimized transient response and low O/P noise and ripple characteristics
