From an input voltage of between 9 and 53Vdc, the outputs have wide range adjustment from 3.3V to 40V with output power between 75 and 250W. This flexibility enables the series to address the requirements of multiple applications, in particular those within medical, communications, industrial, test and measurement, broadcast and portable equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The i6A series has the industry standard 1\/16-brick format and options such as power good, frequency synchronisation and output voltage sequencing can be specified. With efficiencies of up to 98 percent, thermal management for these small modules is easy.<\/p>\n<p>Within the i6A series, models include the basic i6A supplying up to 14A, the wide input range i6A4W supplying up to 20A, and the i6AN allowing the creation of negative voltages delivering currents up to 8A.<\/p>\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emea.lambda.tdk.com\/uk\/about\/local-video.aspx?pid=3038\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch a video introducing the i6A series, please follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emea.lambda.tdk.com\/uk\/products\/dcdc-converters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here to read more about the full range of DC-DC converters<\/a>, or click here for the product page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emea.lambda.tdk.com\/uk\/i6a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.emea.lambda.tdk.com\/uk\/i6a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have a question you\u2019d like to ask TDK-Lambda, please feel free to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emea.lambda.tdk.com\/uk\/faq\/ask.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the online FAQ form<\/a> and we\u2019ll get back to you with an answer to your question as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The i6A series of step-down, non-isolated DC-DC converters provides a low cost, high efficiency method for generating high power output.
