The
Application
A 1000W DC-DC power supply to operate a vehicle mounted
communications application. The unit was to replace
a previous solution that had repeatedly and catastrophically
failed. The high level specification needed to be robust
and able to withstand hostile and invasive environments,
rugged to cope with severe and prolonged vibration,
have high efficiency to allow for operation WITHOUT
forced air cooling and to have an execptionally wide
input range to cope with the possible substantial voltage
variance fromt he truck. |

The Powerstax Solution
Powerstax provided one of their trademark added value systems
comprising the Flexistax D1000. This has a wide and variable
11 - 36Vdc input and constant output between 12 and 48V. Utilising
a simple, custom developed boost converter integrated into
the design provides the boost in input voltage when conditions
require.
This
rapid design and delivery time was achieved using a modular
approach, centred on the the versatile Powerstax F501 full
brick DC-DC converters.
In a highly efficient arrangement, two of Powerstax’s
versatile F501 full brick DC-DC converters of 500W are coupled
with a custom 2 phase boost converter and customer specified
connectors. (see below, right) to present a complete bespoke
solution.

The
End Result
The
patented high efficiency topology and extremely flexible design
of the F501 DC-DC converter modules means that standard items
can be easily and quickly optimised for efficiency. This ensures
system efficiency of 85% and a much lower level of heat dissipation,
which allows the complete open construction unit (measuring
6.0in x 4.0in with a max height 1in including connections)
for use cold wall mounting with no forced air cooling required.
With prototypes supplied in just 4 weeks from Powerstax’s
own ISO9001 approved design, development and production facility
at Farnborough, England the Flexistax D1000 provided the 1000W
DC-DC power conversion module where standard off-the–shelf
solutions did not work or exisit . |
