100W dc/dc converters optimised for multi-channel power amplifiers

Murata has introduced a new family of 100W dc/dc converters. The PAE series has been designed specifically for use with multi-channel power amplifiers such as those found in the latest generation of microcell wireless transceivers.

With a typical efficiency of 92.5%, the fully isolated PAE series is optimised to keep power dissipation on the module to a minimum, therefore reducing system temperatures and helping network operators save energy costs. The family delivers 100W in an industry standard open frame eighth-brick package; the through hole mounted converter is available with an optional baseplate for conduction cooled / cold wall applications typically found in base-station applications and remote radio heads. The converter operates over the industry standard TNV input voltage range of 36 to 75VDC around a nominal 48VDC. The single 29.8Vout can be adjusted over a wide range, from 23.84 to 32.78VDC, to maximise flexibility for power amplifier system designers.
