Cherokee International Unveils High-Performance Apollo 5, True 80 Amp Quarter Brick.TUSTIN, Calif. -- DC/DC converter optimized for 300LFM LFM Landesanstalt für Medien Nordrhein-Westfalen (Germany) LFM Leaders for Manufacturing (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) LFM Lateral Force Microscopy LFM Linear Feet per Minute LFM Looking for More and 50C outperforms even today's typical half bricks Providing original equipment manufacturers (OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and ) with the feature set required to meet high-efficiency power demands in a small package, Cherokee International (Nasdaq:CHRK) today announced its Apollo 5 quarter-brick DC/DC converter family. The Apollo 5, an 80 amp (A) quarter brick, is a direct response to customers' requests for DC/DC converters that operate without de-rating at practical operating conditions -- 300 linear feet per minute (LFM) airflow at 50 degrees Celsius (C). In comparison with today's typical quarter bricks operating at 50A under similar conditions, this converter delivers 60 percent more power with leading efficiencies in a compact 1.45 by 2.28-inch package. In addition, an integrated pre-bias feature enables monotonic monotonic - In domain theory, a function f : D -> C is monotonic (or monotone) if for all x,y in D, x <= y => f(x) <= f(y). ("<=" is written in LaTeX as \sqsubseteq). startup for synchronizing multiple converters to multiple output voltages during power-up. The Apollo 5 delivers high currents supporting the double-p pinout standard with output voltages at 1.8, 1.5 or 1.2 volts (V) and an industry-leading current density of 55 amps per cubic inch Noun 1. cubic inch - the volume equal to a cube one inch on each side cu in capacity measure, capacity unit, cubage unit, cubature unit, cubic content unit, cubic measure, displacement unit, volume unit - a unit of measurement of volume or capacity . Ideally designed for OEMs with applications for high-current consumption from a 48V wide-range or central-office input, the Apollo 5 lends itself to power next-generation switches, routers, telecom, automatic test equipment (ATE), wireless loop, and radio frequency (RF) transmission devices. The converters come complete with vital industry standard features such as remote on/off, remote sensing Deriving digital models of an area on the earth. Using special cameras from airplanes or satellites, either the sun's reflections or the earth's temperature is turned into digital maps of the area. , output voltage adjust pin, over temperature protection, output over-current and over-voltage protection, and input under-voltage protection. Additional features include self-contained bias circuitry that eliminates race conditions, no minimum load requirements, constant frequency operation for predictable EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. characteristics, tightly regulated outputs, low ripple and noise, and auto restart To be able to automatically restart a computer after a power failure or error condition. after fault shutdown. "We continue to provide the market with products that provide leading edge performance and operate efficiently at realistic conditions," said Mike Wagner Michael Robert Wagner (born June 22, 1949 in Waukegan, Illinois) is a former American football player. He played at safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the National Football League from 1971 to 1980. , vice president of marketing for Cherokee International. "The Apollo 5 DC/DC converter family is a prime example as it offers a true 80A at 1.8 volts with just 300LFM and 50C. Our 80A quarter brick can address today's half-brick power levels offering the end user a 40 percent reduction in PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

Pricing and Availability The Apollo 5 family of 80A quarter bricks is available in open frame or base plate models with 1.8, 1.5 and 1.2 output voltages and is priced at $79 for quantities of 1,000 units. Free evaluation kits that allow for effortless testing of the Apollo 5 converters are available. Samples are available now through Cherokee International.
