DESCRIPTION
The WP10R Series is a family of high performance DC/DC
converters that offer high efficiency and regulated outputs
over a 2:1 input voltage range of either 18-36VDC or 36-
72 VDC.
Surface mount devices and manufacturing technology make
it possible to offer performance equivalent to competition
at a lower cost.
A self oscillating flyback topology coupled with a rugged
MOSPOWER transistor are used to produce a highly reli-
able product with a minimum parts count. The internal
body diodes of these FETS protect the unit against input
voltage reversal. An external fuse is required to limit the
body diode current to 2 amps.
No external heatsink is required for the WP10R Series to
supply its rated 10 watts. With a minimum amount of
airflow, the temperature range may be extended from 70°C
to 85°C. (See derating curve.)
The package of the WP10R Series is plastic. This elimi-
nates the layout precautions required by metal enclosed
devices. The encapsulant material is rated UL94V-0 for
flammability and offers excellent heat transfer characteris-
tics.
Internal circuitry provides continuous short-circuit protec-
tion and automatic restart after the short is removed.
