Flex Power Modules adds two new variants to BMR492 series delivering up to 1100 W peak power in an eighth brick

• 10.4 V/700 W and 12 V/800 W variants in eighth-brick format
• Peak power ratings of 950 W and 1100 W
• 40-60 V input
• 1500 VDC isolation
• Very high efficiency

Flex Power Modules has added two new higher power variants to its successful through-hole, digital BMR492 range of regulated, isolated bus converters. The BMR4920100/001 is rated at 10.4 V/67.4 A output over a 40-60 V input (80 V/100 ms), and can also deliver up to 950 W peak for less than 1 second. The BMR4920300/864 has the same input range and features an output of 12 V at 66.7 A, delivering 800 W continuous, and 1100 W peak.

Both models are in the industry standard eighth-brick format – 58.4 x 22.7 x 14 mm with baseplate – and with advanced thermal management techniques achieve better than 97% efficiency at half load, with high efficiency maintained to less than 10% load. Isolation is 1500 VDC, input to output and input to baseplate, complying with IEC/UL/EN 62368 safety standards. Tight regulation is provided with typically 50µs transient load response, and pre-bias start-up is guaranteed.

The BMR492 series features comprehensive control and protection including remote on/off, input undervoltage lockout, output over-voltage, over current and short circuit protection. A PMBusTM interface is provided for remote configuration and monitoring through the free-to-use Flex Power Designer software suite.

"We are pleased to announce even higher power levels from our BMR492 series, in the same footprint as our original 500 W and 600 W parts" comments Olle Hellgren, Director Product Management & Marketing of Flex Power Modules . "The new 700 W and 800 W variants provide even higher power density in space-constrained applications, and the flexibility of the design means other variants can also be created on request".
