Spotlight on Digital Power
The D1000 modular power solution from Powerstax offers up to 1000 W of dc power from vehicle or other mobile or static dc power sources. The D1000 suits systems powered from vehicle batteries or telecom supplies. For the D1000, two F501 full-brick converters are packaged with connectors as required by the application.
In addition, a custom-developed boost-converter is integrated into the design to provide input voltage boost when conditions require it. Multiples of D1000 components may be run in N+1 redundant systems. The D1000 operates from an input of 11 Vdc to 36 Vdc, and can be offered with outputs between 12 Vdc and 48 Vdc. The system offers up to 85% efficiency, and measures 152 mm x 102 mm x 25 mm.
