DESCRIPTION
The VKP60LS Series DC/DC converters present an eco-
nomical and practical solution for distributed power sys-
tem architectures which require high power density and
efficiency while maintaining system modularity and
upgradeability. With the ability to operate over a wide
input voltage range of 18 to 36 volts, these modules are
ideal for telecommunications and battery backup applica-
tions where input flexibility must be combined with
output voltage regulation. In addition, the outputs are
fully isolated from the inputs, allowing for a variety of
polarity and grounding configurations.
Innovative circuit design using surface mount compo-
nents results in a compact, efficient and reliable solution
to DC/DC conversion needs.
Internal power dissipation is minimized by the VKP60LS
Series' high efficiency and is aided by a metal baseplate,
to which all heat dissipative elements are attached.
Through holes are also provided to simplify unit mount-
ing or the addition of a heatsink for high temperature
applications.
The control circuitry of the VKP60LS Series has been
designed to provide overvoltage protection as well as
current limiting for continuous short-circuit protection.
All VKP60LS models are operation specified from rated
load to zero load.
