Description
The EBDW025A0B Barracuda™ series of dc-dc converters are a new generation of DC/DC power modules designed to support 9.6 -12Vdc
intermediate bus applications where multiple low voltages are subsequently generated using point of load (POL) converters, as well as
other application requiring a tightly regulated output voltage. The EBDW025A0B series operate from an input voltage range of 36 to
75Vdc, and provide up to 25A output current at output voltages from 5.0Vdc to 12.0Vdc, and 300W output power from output voltages of
12.1Vdc to 13.2Vdc in a DOSA standard eighth brick. The converter incorporates digital control, synchronous rectification technology, a
fully regulated control topology, and innovative packaging techniques to achieve efficiency exceeding 95.4% peak at 12V dc output. This
leads to lower power dissipations such that for many applications a heat sink is not required. Standard features include output voltage
trim, remote sense, on/off control, output overcurrent and over voltage protection, over temperature protection, input under and over
voltage lockout, power good signal and PMBus interface.
The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. Built-in filtering for
both input and output minimizes the need for external filtering.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only,
functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations sections of
the Data Sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

*CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an integrated part of
sophisticated power architecture, including hot-plug with no external inrush limiting. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is
not included, however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a
fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this Data
Sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse
manufacturer’s Data Sheet for further information.
