DC/DC Converter

I have a single DC Power source, 0-60V, 35A. I need to generate 5V/20A, 3.3V/25A, and 1.0V/25A.

Where should I start?

 

  • Tom:

    There are three module with12Vin which will meet your requirements

    12Vin and 5Vout at up to 20A=PTH08T255WAx up to 40A

    12Vin toi 3.3Vout at 25A= PTH08T210WAx up to 30A

    12Vin to 1.0Vout at 25A= PTH08T210WAx up to 30A

    All power modules have adjustable output voltages.

  • The above was my plan A. Plan B requires me to switch 5V to four circuits and 3.3V to the same four circuts (the 1.0V is not included in plan B). So rather than a single hi-power converter, I've been looking at lower power converters with separate enables and integrated switches.

    12V in and 5V out at 4-6A

    12V in and 3.3V out 10-14A

    My preferences, in order are:

    1. A single PTH module that will work for both 5V and 3.3V (I understand that I will need different resistor values to set Vout)

    2. Two PTH modules

    3. A common Converter that will work for both 5V and 3.3V

    Does TI have a service that will build PTH modules for me?

  • TI has two modules which will meet your requirements. You did not mention the ambient temperatures  or air flow  in this application.
     A. 12V in and 5V out at 4-6A
    1.PTH08T230WAx up to 6 amp module for 5Vout  with 100LFM air flow and 85°C at 6amp. If the output current is 5 amp no air flow , then maximum ambient no airflow temperature is 85°C. 
    B. 12V in and 3.3V out 10-14A
    1 PTH08T220W rated up to to 16 amps at 3V3 at 35°C ambient temperature no air flow.
    If the output current is 10 amps no air flow, then  maximum ambient temperature is 70°C no air flow. 
    2. PTH08T210W rated up to 30 Amps. 16A Amp load with no air flow, the maximum ambient temperature 75°C.

    Note we have no dual PTH power modules.
