SIP-7 DC/DC converters feature reinforced insulation and ultra-low isolation capacitance

Flex Power Modules has introduced a range of encapsulated, through-hole, 2W DC/DC converters in the industry-standard SIP-7 format. 

The series includes nominal 12V, 15V and 24V inputs and a selection of dual, unregulated outputs are available, suitable for asymmetrical positive and negative gate drive voltages for a wide variety of semiconductor switches, including IGBTs, GaN, silicon and silicon carbide MOSFETS. Unlike many similar products on the market, the PUC-D2BG series features 6kV_DC isolation with reinforced insulation to a 250V_AC working voltage, with safety certification to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1.

The PUC-D2BG series is ideal for isolated ‘high-side’ gate drive power and features low isolation capacitance, typically less than 6pF, which prevents excessive circulating currents with the high dV/dt seen in typical bridge applications such as motor drives and inverters.

The temperature rating of the products is -40°C to +100°C ambient with derating, and full power is available to +85 °C in convection cooled environments. This performance is enabled by a high-efficiency design reaching typically 80%. The parts require no minimum load and offer continuous short circuit protection.

“Our new PUC-D2BG series is offered at an attractive price-point,” comments George Zou, Product Manager at Flex Power Modules, “these parts are perfect in industrial applications for gate drive power, where the Flex Power Modules brand is a guarantee of fast technical support, quality and reliability.”
