FEATURES
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
28Vout @ 12.5A (350W)
For applications requiring improved electrical and
thermal performance, consider Murata’s new PAH
series “Half Brick” DC-DC power converters. These
compact modules measure 2.3" X 2.4" X 0.5" (58
X 61 X 12.7mm) and offer the industry-standard
Half Brick footprint.
Trimmable 16.8 Vout to 32.2 Vout @ 350W
with Vin = 18-36V (D24) or 36-75V (D48)
Industry Standard “Half Brick” package
High Efficiency: up to 93%
Outstanding thermal performance
Standard baseplate for conduction cooled
applications
No output reverse conduction
Input to Output Isolation, 2250Vdc (Basic)
The PAH Series is ideal for power amplifier
applications, wireless networks, and telecom
applications. The baseplate provides a means for
conduction cooling in demanding thermal environment conditions.
Input under-voltage lockout
The module provides a 28Vdc output at 12.5 Amps
and accepts a wide input voltage range of 18-36 or
36-75 Vdc. The PAH topology offers high efficiency
(up to 93%), tight line and load regulation, low ripple/
noise, and a fast dynamic load response. A singleboard, highly optimized thermal design contributes to
the superior thermal performance.
These half-bricks provide output trim, sense
pins, and primary side on/off control. Standard features also include input under-voltage shutdown,
output over-voltage protection, output short-circuit/
current limiting protection, and thermal shutdown.
On/Off Control (Positive or Negative Logic)
Output over-voltage protection
Thermal shutdown
Output short circuit protection (hiccup
technique)
