The PICO FC and MC Series of high power DC-DC
Converters, allow a wide input voltage of 100-180 VDC,
while maintaining a regulated output. They are fully
safeguarded for over voltage, over temperature and
continuous short circuit protection.
The availability of Dual Isolated outputs, small size, and
the capability of parallel operation as standard features
should reduce your design and component costs, while
the fixed frequency operation helps parallel connections
for higher power requirements.
This high density unit is assembled in the USA with
PICO quality and component selection, allowing it to
meet the most stringent commercial requirements.
