Power in Your Hands: The Calex 1KW FXP DC-DC Converter
In the ever-evolving world of power supply solutions, the Calex 1KW FXP isolated DC/DC converter stands tall, bringing unparalleled efficiency and versatility to the table. Whether you’re in the field of mobile technology, process control, or even defence applications, this compact powerhouse delivers exceptional performance, with the ability to parallel up to three units for a total output of 2.8kW.

Galvanic isolation of up to 2250V and 1500V input to baseplate and output to baseplate ensures protection when designing where there may be higher voltage transients which could damage sensitive electronics.  It also ensures separate ground loops where a single ground loop could be contaminated with noise and thus unwanted current harmonics.

 

Offering a 4:1 input voltage range, the FXP series seamlessly adapts to a variety of input environments, making it a key player in the most demanding industries. The high-power density and small footprint (119.4 x 63.5 x 13.2 mm) mean it can be integrated into systems where space is limited, without sacrificing performance.

 

Beyond its compact size, the FXP converter features high-efficiency synchronous rectification technology. It boasts efficiency levels up to 96%, ensuring that minimal energy is wasted as heat—an essential benefit for thermal management in high-stress environments. Additionally, the converter includes over-current, short circuit, and over-temperature protection, ensuring durability and reliability in even the harshest conditions.

 

For industries where performance cannot falter, such as defence COTS applications or precision-driven process controls, this converter provides steady power through constant frequency operation and monotonic startup into pre-bias.

 

What truly sets the FXP apart is its parallel operation capability, allowing up to three units to deliver a combined output of 2.8kW. This feature is crucial for projects requiring scalable power solutions, without the need for complex wiring or additional components. Engineers can rely on the FXP for its integrated droop method current sharing, eliminating the hassle of current share pins and space saving as there’s no need for additional electronics outside of the module to provide this functionality.  This lends itself to being the most size and weight efficient solution for applications requiring greater than 1000W of power output.

 

Additionally, the FXP series is easy to integrate into various systems, thanks to its remote ON/OFF control and trim capabilities. Whether it’s used in mobile technology, industrial automation, or critical defence systems, this converter rises to the challenge, offering the power you need in a space-saving package.
