Murata Power Solutions announced the introduction of the OKI-T/3-W32 series of surface mount point of load (PoL) DC/DC converters. Designed specifically to suit +12 or +24 VDC industrial applications where a wide input range within a standard package is highly desirable, this new series can accommodate an input voltage range from +9 to +32 VDC.

This gives designers the flexibility of using one part to cater for both nominal input voltages. They are ideal for user in higher voltage applications that require a lower voltage source to power FPGAs and microprocessors. Also, these modules, with a typical efficiency of 89 %, are fully compatible with the Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) package specifications and measure 11.9mm x 20.8mm x 8.5mm.

The non-isolated series offers a 3 Amp programmable output voltage that can be set from +0.75 to +4.5 VDC to suit the needs of an individual industrial design. Power output at 4.5 Vout is 13.5 W. A remote On/Off input, using either a positive or negative source, allows the output to be controlled or sequenced in the case of an end-product using multiple input voltage sources.

The modules also provide several protection features including under voltage lock out, output short circuit, over current and over temperature. The series is capable of driving up to 1000 microfarad ceramic capacitive loads, aiding keeping ripple and noise to a minimum. Operating temperature is from -40 degrees C to up to +85 degrees C.
