DC/DC converters deliver high efficiency

Advanced Energy's NDQ1600 1600 W DC/DC converter.

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. has expanded its ultra-efficient non-isolated bus converter (NIBC) family with two new quarter-brick modules for 48-V power conversion. These DC/DC converters target advanced information and communication technology (ICT) equipment including AI server, compute, and networking as well as industrial applications such as robotics and test and measurement.

The new Artesyn NDQ1300 1300 W and NDQ1600 1600 W quarter-brick modules operate with peak efficiencies up to 98%, making them suited for high-performance applications where high power density is critical. Each of the modules can convert a 48-V input into a fully-regulated 12-V output for non-isolated, low-voltage, high-current power stages as well as PCIE slots and memory devices. They feature a flat efficiency curve that ensures the modules deliver optimum power conversion across a wide load range, the company said.

Key features include an integrated PMBus interface that supports flexible digital control and monitoring, and current-share and remote sensing options that enable multiple power supplies to connect in parallel, which supports higher load current or redundancy.

The NDQ DC/DC converters also feature an inherently safe transformer-based topology that is said to be resilient to transient loads and an advanced baseplate for better thermal management and heat-sink integration.
