C&D Technologies offers now its NGA series of non-isolated DC/DC converters in dual-in-line packages. The synchronous rectification design of NGA DC/DC converters yields efficiencies of up to 95%. A further key feature of the range is its ability to deliver full output power at temperatures up to 85°C. An industry standard footprint makes the NGA series ideal for use as a "drop-in" replacement for existing designs.

Devices from the range are able to accept a voltage input range of between 4.75V and 28V and can be supplied with single regulated outputs of either 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V or 5V. Nominal output ripple for all devices is 40mVp-p whilst line and load regulation are 0.2% and 1.5% respectively.

The NGA series features continuous built-in short circuit protection. The SMD constructed devices also provide an integrated shutdown facility and voltage trim capability. Shutdown disables the converter’s output when the shutdown pin is shorted to 0V. Voltage trim requires a single external resistor to provide output adjustment to within ±5% of the required VOUT.

The NGA DIP package measures 21.49mm x 20.96mm and has an overall height of 6.77mm. Also available in a SIP package, the operating temperature range for all NGA devices is –40°C to +85°C.
