Description

The IMX4 Series of board-mountable, 4-watt DC-DC

converters has been designed according to the latest industry

requirements and standards. The converters are particularly

suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications in

transport, industry, or telecom, where variable input voltages or

high transient voltages are prevalent.

Covering a total input voltage range from 8.4 VDC up to

121 VDC with three different models, the converters are

available with single and dual outputs from 3.3 up to ±24 VDC

with flexible load distribution. Features include efficient input

and output filtering with unsurpassed transient and surge

protection, low output ripple and noise, consistently high

efficiency over the entire input voltage range and high

reliability as well as excellent dynamic response to load and

line changes.

The converters exhibit basic insulation and are designed and

built according to the international safety standards IEC/EN

A special feature is their small case size, DIL 24 with only

8.5 mm profile. The circuit is comprised of integrated planar

magnetics, and all components are automatically assembled

and solidly soldered onto a single PCB without any wire

connection. Thanks to the rigid mechanical design, the

converters withstand an extremely high level of shock and

vibrations. Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses

ensure the absence of hot spots providing long life in

environments where temperature cycles are a reality. The

thermal design allows operation at full load up to an ambient

temperature of 85 °C in free air without using any potting

material.

Several options, such as open-frame or an alternative

industrial pinout, provide a high level of application-specific

engineering and design-in flexibility.
