Advanced Energy Introduces Ultra-Small, High Power Density DC-DC Converter for Telecommunications and Data Communications Applications

New AVD200-48S12 delivers superior power density in a small form factor, shrinking power conversion footprint to significantly increase available PCB space for critical functions

DENVER,
COLORADO – Media OutReach – 28
April 2021 – Advanced Energy
(Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global
leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement, and
control solutions – today expanded its market-leading
family of 48 V input DC-DC power converters with a new ultra-small design. Featuring
almost twice the power delivery in an industry standard footprint, the AVD200-48S12
is ideally suited for 5G digital communications modules,
power-over-ethernet, and optical network applications in telecommunications and
data communications.

Delivering
superior power density in a small form factor, the AVD200-48S12 increases
operational efficiency by cutting power-conversion losses while reducing overall
system costs. By shrinking the footprint required for power conversion, available
printed circuit board (PCB) space is significantly increased for other critical
application functions needed in telecom and datacom equipment.

“Printed
circuit board real estate has always been in high demand and short supply, even
more so today with power-hungry 5G network applications,” said Joe Voyles, vice
president and general manager, industrial and power conversion products at
Advanced Energy. “Our new AVD200-48S12 power converter helps customers solve
their most complex power conversion challenges and packs premium power with up
to 200 W output in a 1/16^th brick.”

The newly
launched Artesyn AVD200-48S12 is a telecom-grade isolated sixteenth (1/16^th)
brick DC-DC converter with a power rating of 200 W with power-over-ethernet
isolation. With an input voltage range of 36 to 75 VDC (Voltage Direct
Current), this standard footprint converter packs nearly double the power in
the same form factor as Artesyn’s AVD120 120 W, 1/16^th brick
converter, and delivers equivalent power to Artesyn’s AVO200 200 W, 1/8^th
brick, but in half the size.

 

The
AVD200-48S12 features a high efficiency rating of over 94.2 percent and
provides 48 V input to regulated, 12 V output power conversion, ideal for use
as the input to down-stream, non-isolated conversion stages. With built-in
open-frame and baseplate construction, with the option of through-hole or
surface mount options, the unit provides customers with the option of either
forced-air fan cooling or contact-cooling of an application or heatsink.
