Multiservice Aggregation Opts Artesyn AVD100 Series DC-DC Converters
A provider of network access solutions and devices has integrated Artesyn’s AVD100 series DC-DC converters into its IP/MPLS provider edge (PE) router and pre-aggregation device, which is used for a number of applications such as backhaul FTTH, leased line services, mobile backhaul, and wholesale businesses using aggregation devices on a carrier network.
The AVD series of 100 to 120 watt 16th-brick isolated DC-DC converters are optimized for high-density applications with restricted space, offering excellent thermal performance and up to 92.5% efficiency. The converters use 250 kHz fixed frequency switching to minimize the need for external EMI filtering, which was an important factor in the selection process, along with Artesyn’s technical support and a high level of service from Artesyn’s local distribution channel partner.
