For applications requiring improved electrical and
thermal performance, consider Murata’s new PAH
series “half brick” DC-DC power converters. These
compact modules measure 2.3" X 2.4" X 0.5" (58
X 61 X 12.7mm) and offer the industry-standard
half brick footprint.
The PAH Series is ideal for power amplifier
applications, semiconductor test equipment,
wireless networks, and telecom applications.
The baseplate provides a means for conduc-
tion cooling in demanding thermal environment
conditions.
The module provides a 53Vdc or 48Vdc output
at 8.5 Amps and accepts a wide input voltage
range of 36-75Vdc. The PAH topology offers high
effi ciency (up to 94%), tight line and load regulation,
low ripple/noise, and a fast dynamic load response.
A single-board, highly optimized thermal design
contributes to the superior thermal performance.
These half-bricks provide output trim, sense
pins, and primary side on/off control. Standard fea-
tures also include input under-voltage shutdown,
output over-voltage protection, output short-circuit/
current limiting protection, and thermal shutdown.

NOTE: A minimum of 220µF
of capacitance is required
on the output to ensure
stable operation. An ESR
equal to or less than 0.02
is also required.
