NBM™ Non-isolated Bus Converter Module

NBM™ Non-isolated Bus Converter Module

Bidirectional power converters

NBMs are fixed ratio (non-regulating) non-isolated, bidirectional DC-DC converters. These modules provide a complete DC-DC solution and do not require an external input filter or bulk capacitors. In addition, the NBM2317 features built-in hot-swap capability and inrush current limiting. Fast transient response is supported by the NBM’s low output impedance. Available in through-hole ChiP™ and SM-ChiP™ (surface mount ChiP) board-mount packages.

Features and benefits

• High efficiency >98%
• High power density of up to 3,600W/in3
• Parallel operation for multikW arrays
