DC/DC Converters
TEN 15 Series, 15 Watt
The TEN 15 series is a family of high performance 15W DC/DC converters in a
compact 2” x 1” low profile package with industry standard footprint. A high effici-
ency allows a wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. A built-in EMI
filter is built in to meet EN 55022, class A without any external components.
Further standard features include over voltage protection and short-circuit protec-
tion. Typical applications for these converters are battery operated equipment, in-
strumentation, distributed power architectures in communication and industrial elec-
tronics, everywhere where isolated, tightly regulated voltages are required.
