The SIL20C Series is a new high density open frame non-isolated converter for space-sensitive
applications. Each model has a wide input range (4.5V to 5.5V or 10.2V to 13.8V) and offer a
wide 0.9V to 3.3V/5V output voltage range with a 20A load. An external resistor adjusts the
output voltage from its pre-set value of 0.9V to any value up to the maximum allowed value for
that model. Typical efficiencies are 87% for the 5V input version and 91% for the 12V input
version at full load conditions. The SIL20C series offers remote ON/OFF and over-current
protection as standard. With full international safety approval including EN60950 and
UL/cUL60950, the SIL20C reduces compliance costs and time to market.
