The PQ60018QPA60 PowerQor Peta Quarter-brick
converter is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated,
fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses
synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high
conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the converter
is so low that a heatsink is not required, which saves cost,
weight, height, and application effort. All of the power
and control components are mounted to the multi-layer PCB
substrate with high-yield surface mount technology. Since
the PowerQor converter has no explicit thermal interfaces, it
is extremely reliable. The Peta series offers industry leading
output currents for any standard quarter-brick module. RoHS
Compliant see last page.
