TDK Extends Sixteenth Brick DC/DC Power Modules Line-Up

The unique stacked 2 board construction of the iSA Series Sixteenth brick converter family offers superior thermal performance and cooler operation due to the heat dissipating components being on the upper most board, and this being raised into such ambient air flow as is present. This construction also minimizes any airflow 'shadowing' effects, resulting in a thermal performance that exceeds that of larger footprint eighth brick devices.

Using proven circuitry from the TDK Innoveta iEA range of eighth brick converters, the low component count on the iSA DC/DC converters provides greater reliability a more cost effective solution than other modules on the market. The TDK Innoveta iSA Series of DC/DC power modules features the highest power rating of sixteenth brick products currently available. It boasts a wide input range (36-75V), and a with the addition of these three new low voltage power modules provides the ideal solution for powering a broad range of systems including DPA, POLs, FPGA, ASIC, DSP, microprocessors, access, optical and industrial loads.

The input is fully isolated from the output further adding to the versatility by allowing different polarity and grounding connectivity. Standard features include fixed frequency operation, remote sense, remote on/off, and auto-recovery of input under voltage, output over voltage, output over current and over temperature protection circuitry. Latching output over voltage protection and positive polarity on/off are offered as options. TDK Innoveta's entire iSA Series Sixteenth brick line is RoHS compliant.

TDK launches DC/DC Power Modules with improved thermal performance
in a 44% smaller footprint

Sixteenth Brick DC/DC Power Modules save space and cost

TDK has today launched its Belleta iSA Series of 1/16 Brick DC/DC Power Modules which provide better thermal performance than many eighth brick converters, in a much reduced footprint. The industry standard footprint (DOSA) DC-DC converters are ideal for engineers seeking to save space and cost in 48V distributed power architecture for telecom, datacom and many other applications.

The Belleta iSA Series Sixteenth brick converter family eliminates hot spots and offers better cooling, thanks to its multilayer design. The two-board implementation keeps the control circuitry on the lower part of the board, and the power dissipating components on the upper board.

Thus, the hottest components are raised above surrounding low-level devices, providing substantially better cooling than when the converter is the same height as the surrounding low profile components. Furthermore, the multilayer, heavy copper upper board, effectively spreads such heat as is dissipated, eliminating hot spots.

The sixteenth brick power module has a 44% smaller footprint than eighth brick converters, freeing up valuable space on the PCB. This means that engineers can benefit from increased equipment functionality. And at only 12.4mm tall, the power module is comparable in height to the electrolytic capacitors and magnetic component associated with most applications.

As well as being significantly smaller than eighth brick power modules, the Belleta iSA Series DC/DC power module is the highest power rated sixteenth brick currently available. It boasts a wide input range (48Vnom, 36-75V), and a broad range of outputs (1V2 – 15V, 3 – 25A, up to 78W total power).

More information can be found in the iSA datasheet.
