Burr-Brown Introduces Isolated DC/DC Converters in Surface-Mount Package.TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 1998--Burr-Brown Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BBRC BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications BBRC Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (Washington state) BBRC Ball Brothers Research Corporation ) today announced the DCP DCP - definitional constraint programming 01U family of isolated DC/DC converters in a standard IC surface-mount package providing easy integration into a high volume PC board assembly operation. The low cost DCP01U family marks an industry breakthrough by providing isolated DC/DC converters in surface-mount packages. The DCP01U family incorporates a revolutionary packaging technique that combines transfer molding Transfer molding, like compression molding, is a process where the amount of molding material (usually a thermoset plastic) is measured and inserted before the moulding takes place. The molding material is preheated and loaded into a chamber known as the pot. , a semiconductor leadframe and a single die containing all the control circuitry needed for power supply isolation. The surface-mount DCP01U yields reliability more than ten times greater and offers a 50% reduction in body volume compared to competing solutions. "In addition to providing the designer with surface-mount packages, we offer these products in a tape and reel format perfect for high-volume assembly with automated handling equipment," said Jim McGonigal, strategic marketing engineer at Burr-Brown's European Components Division in Livingston, Scotland. Surface-mount packaging offers several advantages over through-hole packages, including increased performance due to the shorter leads and lower real estate requirements due to the ability to mount devices on both sides of a circuit board. The transition to surface-mount components is reflected in the types of parts being purchased. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. IC Insights' "The McClean Report--1998 Edition," 74% of total IC unit shipments in 1998 were surface-mount packages compared to 24% in through-hole packages. By 2002, 87% of all ICs shipped will be surface mount. The DCP01U features 1W output power at +100 degrees Celsius without heatsinking, self-synchronization, indefinite short circuit protection, wide operating range, and start-up into any capacitive load. The DCP01 family, which includes 5, 12, 15 and 24V inputs with outputs of 5, 12, 15, +/-12 and +/-15V, is priced from $5.01 in 1000s and available in a surface-mount Gullwing gull·wing adj. Hinged at the top so as to swing upward. Used of a type of automobile door. package or a 14-pin plastic DIP. Delivery is from stock.
