Ericsson Announced Sixteenth-brick Power converters

Published:2011/12/26 2:24:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

Ericsson announced that it developed two new isolated DC/DC power converters that are compliant with an industry-standard sixteenth-brick form factor and deliver an output current up to 20 A, or an output power equivalent to 100 W. The new PKU-C Series has been developed to respond to the increased demand in the mid-range IT and communications power applications that are migrating from multiple-output power modules to fully regulated intermediate bus converters, and require compact DC/DC modules that save space for core components, in addition to providing a height of less than 9 mm for low-profile applications. Designed to operate with a 36-V to 75-V input voltage range, the PKU-C Series is primarily designed for applications that are powered by a centralized 48-V bus. However, due to its efficient and flexible power performance, the series is also suitable for a wide range of applications including those in industrial, process control and automation. Because the PKU-C devices are isolated and feature a floating output, the two modules can also be combined to power the 12-V and -5V rails in a disk-drive-array application requiring higher power than 100W.

Ericsson is a world-leading provider of telecommunications equipment and services to mobile and fixed network operators. Its network equipment is used over 1,000 networks in more than 180 countries, and more than 40 percent of the world’s mobile traffic passes through Ericsson networks.
