**A** Series 

DC-HVDC CONVERTER 

## 1W 

## **CONVECTION COOLED** 

The A Series is a broad line of ultra-miniature, DC to HV DC converters that set an industry standard in high voltage miniaturization. This unique package occupies less than one tenth of a cubic inch of volume, and an extremely low profile of only 6.35mm (0.250 inches). 

Controllable output voltages range from 100 volts to 6000 volts. The output is directly proportional to the input voltage and is linear from <0.7V input to maximum input voltage, allowing for an adjustable output voltage. Output is load dependent. Isolation permits <±500V bias on output return. No external components or minimum load are required. 

A separate high impedance control pin is standard and is designed for external error amplifier and/or DAC control in closed or open loop systems. Or simply connect the control pin to the + input for proportional input to output operation. These component-sized converters are ideal for applications requiring minimal size and weight.

## Notes: 

1. Maximum output current is available at maximum rated output voltage, and derates linearly as input voltage is decreased. 

2. Output Voltage is load dependent. Under light or no-load conditions, reduce the Input Voltage so maximum rated Output Voltage is not exceeded. 

3. Specifications are after 30 minute warm-up, full-load at 25°C, unless otherwise noted. 

4. Proper thermal management techniques are required to maintain safe case temperature at maximum power output.
