Description
The QPW-series dc-dc converters are a new generation of DC/DC power modules designed for maximum efficiency and
power density. The QPW series provide up to 60A output current in an industry standard quarter brick. The converter
incorporates synchronous rectification technology and innovative packaging techniques to achieve ultra high efficiency
reaching 93% at 3.3V full load. The ultra high efficiency of this converter leads to lower power dissipation such that for
most applications a heat sink is not required. The QPW series power modules are isolated dc-dc converters that operate
over a wide input voltage range of 36 to 75 Vdc and provide single precisely regulated output. The output is fully isolated
from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections
