Advanced Power Conversion PLC
APC-F203 Series DC-DC CONVERTE
R
An outstanding
achievement from APC is the
realisation of a TRIPLE output
converter in the industry standard “full
brick” size package.
Able to provide 3 different levels of output
voltage from 1 module, this cutting edge
design has been developed to offer maximum
versatility and supreme flexibility. This helps
simplify the design and reduce the cost of
distributed power supply architectures.
Surface mount technology and a proprietary
transformer design give reliable performance,
and space saving versatility in a cost effective
package.
The 200W DC-DC converter has fast dynamic
response times and low output ripple. The
comprehensive list of in-built protection
features such as over voltage protection,
under-voltage protection and short circuit
protection are complemented by functions
such as remote on/off and
synchronisation facility to an external
clock frequency.

24V input models)
Unless otherwise indicated,
specifications apply over all
operating input voltage, resistive
load, and temperature condition
Note: This power module can be
used in a wide variety o
f
applications. To preserve
maximum flexibility, internal
fusing is not included. However,
to achieve maximum safety and
system protection, always use an
input line fuse. The safety
agencies require a normal-blow,
DC fuse with a maximum rating
of 20A. The same type fuse with
a lower rating can be used in
practice
