Artesyn Launches 700 Watt Power Output Half Brick DC-DC Converter Module with 28 V Output for Telecom and Wireless Applications
Tempe, Ariz. [6 December, 2016] — Artesyn Embedded Technologies today launched a
new 700 watt half brick dc-dc converter module, the ADH700 series. The first model
available offers a 28 V nominal output and is designed to support the popular use of
LDMOS technology used in high power wireless base station (BTS) deployments.
LDMOS stands for laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor and is a dominant device
technology used in high-power RF power amplifier (PA) applications for cellular
infrastructure.
The ADH700 series nominal 28 V model can deliver up to 28.A output current and offers
a wide trim range of 14 V to 33 V. Housed in the industry standard half-brick format (2.4
x 2.3 inches or 61.0 x 57.9 mm) the ADH700 series is just 0.5 inch or 12.7 mm high. The
dc-dc converter series offers greater than 95 percent typical efficiency and a wide input
range of 36 to 65 V. An aluminum baseplate structure gives ADH700 series modules
excellent thermal performance. The 28 V model can operate between minus 40 and plus
85 degrees Celsius ambient temperature, and can continue to operate at full power up to
100 degrees Celsius baseplate temperature – all without air cooling. The conversion
technology employs 280 kHz fixed-frequency switching to help minimize external EMI
filtering requirements.
Other features include remote enable, remote output sense and trim with protection
features such as input under voltage lockout, output over current protection, output over
voltage protection, and over temperature protection. No minimum load requirement
helps to increase reliability and contributes to an MTBF of 2 million hours (calculated
according to Telcordia SR-332-2006).
