Low profile DOSA converters offer excellent efficiency

RECOM’s latest innovation improves the power density of DOSA-packaged DC-DC converters to a new level. The RPM modules stand out due to their excellent efficiency of up to 99%, allowing a low-profile package ideal for applications where space is critical. The new power modules provide one of the highest power densities in a DOSA footprint on the market with a profile of only 3.75mm. They provide either 1A, 2A, 3A or even 6A in the same-sized package for scalability. The 6A module is claimed to have at least 50% higher power density than its peers, due to a new IC and a novel multi-layer PCB layout. It’s thermally optimised to pull the heat away from the board, so without derating, it delivers over 800W/in³ at up to 90C. With a ground plane in the PCB together with the metal housing, six-sided shielding ensures great EMC performance. The RPM power modules have been successfully designed, tested and manufactured in Europe. With input and output capacitors already included, the series operates without the need for further components. They are SMD with a land-grid-array package.
