Descr iption and Applications
The NGM12.5 DC/DC Converter is part of NG
Series, which rapresents the Magnetek’s
Family of High Efficiency Low Power DC-DC
Converters.
These Modules feature high reliability, high
efficiency and a widely varying range of
input voltages (from 19.2 to 72Vdc) with the
possibility of a careful regulation of output
voltage, so they are ideally suited for
Telecommunications, Industrial and Computer
applications.
The compact size of these units make them
ideal for inclusion in original design of
systems which demand small size, low cost
and high reliability.
The standard feature set includes the clock
input for synchronization to an external
secondary clock, while the case ground pin is
optional.

The module is provided with hysteretic control of input line between 19.2-72Vdc
.
CAUTION: To preserve the module’s flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve the maximum system
protection, input fusing is always highly recommended based on inrush current and maximum input current.
