New point of load DC-DC power converter delivers 20A for military/avionics systems

BLACKSBURG, USA: VPT Inc., a HEICO company, expanded its line of point of load (POL) DC-DC power converters today with the introduction of a new 20A module. The DVPL0520S is a non-isolated, synchronous, regulated buck converter that steps down power at the point of use with up to 90 percent efficiency.

With modules now ranging in output from 3A to 20A, VPT is the only manufacturer to provide power designers with a complete set of POL DC-DC converters that are specifically designed for use in rugged military and avionics power systems.

"Our point of load converters provide power with efficiencies typically greater than 90 percent plus typical weights of less than 16 grams in true hermetic packaging. This provides power designers with an extremely small, extremely efficient, and extremely reliable set of converters with which to distribute power to the point of use on an aircraft, in a military vehicle, or any other rugged duty system," explained Michael J. Bosmann, senior VP of VPT.
