Datasheet
The DRQ 500W series provides a fully regulated,
digitally controlled DC output in a ¼-brick format
that will support the evolving Advanced Bus Con-
verter (ABC) industry standard footprint for isolated
board mounted power modules. The DRQ series
supports advances in power conversion technology
including a digital interface supporting the PMBus
protocol for communications to power modules.
The DRQ series offers high output current (up to
43.5 Amps) in an industry standard “quarter brick”
package. The DRQ series is an isolated, regulated,
500W-11.5Vout quarter brick that supports the
TNV input voltage range of 38V-75V with a typical
effi ciency of 95.5%.
Advanced automated surface mount assembly
and planar magnetics deliver galvanic isolation
rated at 2250 Vdc for functional insulation. Target
markets include networking equipment, Power over
Ethernet applications, wireless networking equip-
ment, telecommunications equipment, wireless
pre-amplifi ers, industrial and test equipment, and
applications requiring a regulated 11.5V output.
A wealth of self-protection features include input
undervoltage lockout and overtemperature shut-
down; over current protection using the “hiccup”
autorestart technique provides indefi nite short-
circuit protection, along with output OVP. The DRQ
series is certifi ed to safety standards UL/IEC/CSA
60950-1, 2nd edition. It meets RFI/EMI conducted
emission compliance to EN55022, CISPR22 with an
external fi lter.
