The MPGS-14A point of load series designates a family of non-isolated buck point of load (PoL) power modules with a permanent ultra-wide input voltage range of 4.75 – 33 Vdc. The family is designed for use in local voltage conversion and can be used alone or in conjunction with isolated DC/DC converters as part of a highly efficient, distributed power system.

The series is optimized for low voltage point of load applications with adjustable output from 1.2 Vdc to 24 Vdc with high efficiency synchronous rectification and fast transient response.

The modules include an adjustable soft-start, an input undervoltage lock-out, a permanent short circuit and overload protection and a over temperature protection to ensure efficient module protections. The soft-start allows current limitation and eliminates inrush current during startup. The short circuit protection completely protects the modules against short-circuits of any duration by a shut-down and restores to normal when the overload is removed.

The modules are potted with a bi-component thermally conductive compound to ensure optimum power dissipation under harsh environmental conditions.
