The Maxi, Mini, Micro Family of DC-DC converters are an
integral part of the company’s overall component power
solution strategy, (Figure 1–1), which includes advanced
factory and design automation. The modules are available
in an unlimited variety of standard versions, to the extent
that the line between custom and standard DC-DC
converter bricks becomes almost indistinguishable.
The design of the control, magnetic, switching, and
packaging elements of the module resulted in a
component with a power density of up to 120 W/in
3
(7,3 W/cm 3 ) in three package sizes:
Maxi 4.6" x 2.2" x 0.5" (117 x 55,9 x 12,7 mm)
Mini 2.28" x 2.2" x 0.5"(57,9 x 55,9 x 12,7 mm)
Micro 2.28" x 1.45" x 0.5"(57,9 x 36,8 x 12,7 mm)
The modules have one-third the number of parts of their
predecessors.
While the natural by-products of this reduction in parts
count has improved reliability and lower cost, the extra
space also means that the bulk of the converter can now
be devoted almost exclusively to the power train (i.e., the
magnetic and switching elements at the core of the design).
Resistors can be used to trim the output voltage up or
down, if necessary. Six pin styles, three baseplate options,
and a variety of data collection and reporting options are
available. The devices have an operating temperature
range of –55°C to 100°C and come in five product
grades – E, C, T, H, and M.
Other specifications include a typical no-load to full-load
regulation of ±0.5%, a programmable output of 10% to
110%, conversion efficiencies of up to 92% depending
on the voltage combination and power level chosen, and
an input-to-output isolation test voltage of 3,000 Vrms
(4,242 Vdc). All models are parallelable with N+M fault
tolerance and current sharing. Paralleling architectures
feature DC or AC-coupled interface.
