Constrained spaces in many industrial applications are a challenge for power supplies as engineers want to concentrate on the core product and use as little space as possible for them. For these customers MINMAX Technology launched the revolutionary MDW15 & MDWI15 series. This new generation of ultra-compact 15W converters meet the needs of contemporary value-oriented customers for the trend of power supply modularization. As the other products from the MINMAX portfolio the series offer low energy consumption, high heat dissipation, and resistance to high and low temperature, shock and vibration.
Ongoing miniaturisation
With a power density of up to 74W per cubic inch (W/in³), the third generation of the MDW15 & MDWI15 series provides a full 15W in a tiny DIP-16 package which occupies only 0.5 square inches of PCB space. The area of MDW15 & MDWI15 is 50% smaller than that of the second generation and 75% smaller than that of the first generation.
The miniaturisation of the MDW15 & MDWI15 series 15W DC-DC converter enables customers to flexibly choose converters that meet specific application requirements. It is expected to be popular in industrial markets where space constrain is critical, including transportation, renewable energy equipment, instruments, medical, industrial control, semiconductor equipment, etc.
