“The highly efficient D1000 power conversion system is part of our market leading Flexistax series and offers maximum output efficiency over a very wide temperature range.” Says Tim Worley, CEO of Powerstax. “It has been developed specifically for applications where standard off-the-shelf solutions do not exist. This field proven modular solution offers customers a faster time-to-market, reduced capital investment and minimises the risk often associated with custom designed power supply requirements.”
D1000 power solutions are based on the Powerstax industry leading high power F501 “full-brick” DC:DC Converters that form the core of Powerstax’s business. These patented, ultra-high efficiency and very flexible converters have been designed to provide both conventional step-down conversion as well as the more unusual step-up conversion. The key to this is the patented “integrated magnetic” which combines the transformer and inductors for the converter on a single assembly allowing high efficiency conversion and custom voltage configurations.
For the D1000, two F501 converters are packaged with connectors as required by the application. In addition, a custom developed boost-converter is integrated into the design to provide input voltage boost when conditions require it. Multiples of D1000 converters may be configured in N+1 redundant systems for no-break power applications.
The D1000 operates from a very wide DC input of 11 to 36V and can be offered with outputs between 12 and 48VDC. The system offers up to 85% efficiency, maximising battery life and reducing thermal management requirements. The complete unit measures a compact 152 x 102 x 25mm. Prototypes can be supplied in just 4 weeks from Powerstax’s ISO9001 approved design, development and production facility in the UK and carry a two year warranty.
Typical applications include military and commercial mobile wireless and radar systems, telecomm infrastructure and security systems.
