Advanced Energy Unveils Ultra-Efficient 1,300 W DC-DC Converter

Key Highlights:

  • 1,300 W DC-DC converter with 28 V output in a half-brick form factor.

  • Nearly 96% efficiency at full load, ideal for telecom base stations.

  • PMBus interface for remote configuration and control, reducing maintenance costs.

  • Designed for contact-cooled devices in IP-sealed enclosures like RRH.

  • Integrated protection against over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit.

Notable Quote:

"RF power amplifiers, the highest energy-consuming part of base stations, need the highest available efficiency during all operations."

Joe Voyles, VP of Industrial Power Conversion Products at Advanced Energy

Our Take:

Advanced Energy’s introduction of the ADH1300-48S28 DC-DC converter is a pivotal development for the telecom industry, particularly in addressing the energy-intensive demands of RF power amplifiers in base stations. With an impressive efficiency of nearly 96%, this converter not only reduces operational costs but also future-proofs network infrastructure by enabling more compact designs and enhanced reliability. Its digital control interface and built-in protection make it a highly flexible solution that will appeal to network operators looking for innovation in efficiency without sacrificing performance.
