The new Advanced Energy Artesyn® NDQ1300 1300 W and NDQ1600 1600 W quarter-brick modules operate with peak efficiencies up to 98%, making them ideal for high-performance applications where power density is a critical design criterion.

The new Advanced Energy Artesyn® NDQ1300 1300 W and NDQ1600 1600 W quarter-brick modules operate with peak efficiencies up to 98%, making them ideal for high-performance applications where power density is a critical design criterion. Each of the modules can convert a 48 V input into a fully-regulated 12 V output for non-isolated, low-voltage, high-current power stages as well as PCIE slots and memory devices.

“Today’s power system designers are focusing on efficiency and form factor as they look to deliver the low loss power conversion essential to emerging AI and next-generation industrial applications,” said Joe Voyles, Advanced Energy’s vice president, Industrial Power Conversion, System Power. “The NDQ1300 and NDQ1600 deliver high power density and high efficiency across the range, offer a standard footprint to optimize performance, reduce power use and size, and simplify design.”

The new NDQ products feature a flat efficiency curve that ensures modules deliver optimum power conversion across a wide load range. An integrated PMBus interface supports flexible digital control and monitoring. Current-share and remote sensing options enable multiple power supplies to connect in parallel, supporting higher load current or redundancy. In addition, the NDQ products use an inherently safe transformer-based topology that is resilient to transient loads and makes designing applications for inrush current-control on start-up easier.

The new NDQ modules leverage an advanced baseplate for better thermal management and heatsink integration. Standard sizes make power scaling straightforward, while the compact design protects downstream circuits.
