Murata today announced that its UltraCP™ series MYC0409-NA, a divide-by-4 step-down DC-DC charge pump module, has received the Green/Eco Award in the China Top 10 Power Award.
Companies have traditionally relied upon brick converters to stepdown from 48V to the intermediate bus, usually 12V. The MYC0409 breaks the mold by enabling system architects to design high density, 48V converters in a smaller footprint with enhanced efficiency and low ripple performance. System designers have the flexibility to choose between creating a single high-power bulk 48V bus system with MYC0409 devices connected in parallel or distributing individual MYC0409 devices close to the point-of-load, thereby reducing system PCB copper losses.
The MYC0409 is designed to operate in a fixed divide-by-4 mode over an input voltage range of 20V to 60V, which extends its usage to 24V to 36V input applications typically used in consumer battery charging and industrial supplies. The charge pump-based DC-DC converter supports an output voltage range of 5V to 15V with load currents of 6A and up to 72W delivered to the external load. Featuring an extended temperature range of −40 to +105°C, the MYC0409 is fully protected with input undervoltage, overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown fault detection.
The MYC0409 is 11.5 × 9.5 × 2.0 mm and offered in Land-Grid-Array packaging (LGA). Contact your regional sales representative for information about evaluation kits, samples and parts.
