NDQ1600 Series
Active
NDQ1600 modules are high-density, ultra-efficient 48 to 12 V DC-DC converters, making them ideal for high-power computing and storage applications. These non-isolated, single-output, digitally controlled DC-DC converters feature a standard quarter-brick outline and pin configuration. They convert an input of 40 to 60 VDC, providing up to 1600 W at 12 VDC, with 97.7% peak efficiency. The NDQ1600 outputs full power over an operating range of -40 to +85°C with forced-air cooling. Noise/ripple is 150 mV peak to peak typical with a 4 mF electrolytic capacitor. An optional PMBus® interface enables flexible digital control and monitoring. You also can select from remote sense or current share operation.
