300W programmable DC-DC converter with 600V output
Advanced Energy Industries (AEI) has launched a series of 300W isolated single and dual-output high voltage programmable DC-DC converters.
The UltraVolt AEQ series is aimed at medical, life science, industrial and semiconductor equipment applications with a 600 VDC output at 0.5 W from an input voltage of +5 VDC.
The DC-DC converters measure 12.7 x 12.7 x 12.7mm (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 in) and include an output that is proportional to the control pin voltage. This gives programmability from zero to the maximum rated value. Output stability is within 5% at maximum Vout and full load.
A high input-to-output isolation rating of ±1500 VDC supports precise output voltage control and meets safety levels required for handheld equipment, in addition to supporting compliance in medical and life science applications.
“Because of its small size, ease of voltage control and output voltage accuracy and stability, the AEQ series is ideal for use in high-voltage products where space and weight are critical application requirements,” said Conor Duffy, vice president of marketing, medical power products at Advanced Energy.
“The series is particularly well-suited for hand-held and portable devices ranging from silicon detectors and avalanche photo diodes to MEMS devices and ultrasonic transducers. Its programmable control enhances flexibility, precision and reliability to address specific application needs,” she said.
The AEQ series has unipolar 100 V to 600 V models and bipolar versions from ±50 V to ±300 V, with higher power and voltage levels planned for subsequent releases.
The solid vacuum encapsulated package means the DC-DC converters are protected against shock and vibration. All devices have UL/cUL and IEC-62368-1 safety approvals.
