For high efficiency DC/DC converters for wireless base
stations and power switching applications
Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider
of electronic components, introduces its new gate drive
transformers for high efficiency DC/DC converters. The PG1427
series has a high HIPOT of 2700VDC and functional insulation
between the gate and the drive windings. These surface mount
devices offer excellent coplanarity for easy solderability. The
transformers have a small footprint and low profile of
8.25x6.9x3mm, high functional isolation, and an operating
temperature of -40°C to +125°C. The operating frequency of 50 KHz
up to 500 KHz enables optimal functionality in wireless base
stations and power switching telecom applications.
"This high density gate drive transformer from Pulse employs a
new design methodology to provide a HIPOT of 2700VDC in the
existing small footprint, low profile platform,” said Jack Cheng,
China marketing manager, Pulse Electronics. “In addition, the
higher power density delivers higher saturation current for
equivalent sizes of the converter."
Pulse Electronics’ PG1427 series consists of the PG1427.001NL,
PG1427.002NL, PG1427.003NL, and the PG1427.004NL. They use an
industry standard lead frame in the internal design which improves
the coplanarity. Gate drive transformers provide the same
insulation to the feedback loop as the power transformer provides
to the power train. The gate drive also provides insulation from
the IC to the drive transistor to meet functional isolation
standards. The parts are RoHS compliant and available packaged in
tape and reel. Prices start at approximately $0.60 in quantities of
10,000 with a delivery time of about 8 weeks. Samples are in stock
and available now. For information and datasheets see
