DESCRIPTION

The 73-558-0015I is an intelligent DC-DC converter module designed for integration into the Advanced Energy Artesyn iMP series configurable power system. This module features microprocessor-controlled operation with I²C interface capability, allowing voltage adjustment and output configuration through software control. The module delivers precise output regulation with 0.4% or 20 mV maximum overall regulation, dynamic response better than 2% or 100 mV with 25% load step, and recovery time to within 1% in less than 300 microseconds. It includes configurable overcurrent protection (105–120% of rated output current), short-circuit protection with automatic recovery, and thermal protection with warning signals. The module supports remote sense capability up to 0.5 V total drop, single-wire parallel operation with current sharing to within 2% of total rated current, and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +70°C ambient with 2.5% per degree derating from 50°C to 70°C. Applications include medical-grade power systems (EN60601 approved), telecommunications, industrial equipment, and any system requiring flexible, intelligent power distribution with high reliability and MTBF exceeding 550,000 hours at full load.
