Quarter-brick
The InQor
®
quarter-brick converter series is composed of
next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed switching
frequency dc-dc converters that use synchronous rectification
to achieve extremely high power conversion efficiency. Each
module is supplied completely encased to provide protection
from the harsh environments seen in many industrial and
transportation applications.

• Delivers full power with minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Operating input voltage range: 18-75 V
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI
• No minimum load requirement
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard quarter-brick pin-out configuration
• Size: 1.54" x 2.39" x 0.50"
(39.0 x 60.6 x 12.7mm)
• Total weight: 3 oz (85 g)
Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout
• Output current limit and short circuit protection
• Active back bias limit
• Output over-voltage protection
• Thermal shutdown
Control Features
