Description
The CAR1212DC series of DC-DC Converters provide highly efficient isolated power from DC input mains in a
compact 1U industry standard form factor at a power density of 16.2W/in
3
. These converters complement the
CAR1212FP rectifier providing comprehensive solutions for systems connected either to commercial AC mains,
48/60V
DC
power plants or telecom central offices. This plug and play approach offers significant advantages since
systems can be reconfigured and repositioned readily by simply replacing the power supply. The high-density, front-
to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future growth. The industry
standard PMBus compliant I
2
C communications buss offers a full range of control and monitoring capabilities. The
SMBusAlert signal pin alerts customers automatically of any state change within the power supply.
