QAM60T 60W Medical DC-DC Converters

Introduction

XP Power’s QAM60T series is a 60 W medical DC-DC converter family designed for regulated power conversion in space-conscious systems. The modules combine a 4:1 input range with single- and dual-output options, reinforced 5 kVAC isolation, and IEC 60601-1 medical safety approvals in a baseplate-cooled quarter-brick format.

What it does

QAM60T converters accept 9 VDC to 36 VDC inputs and provide regulated outputs spanning 5 VDC to 30 VDC. Available single- and dual-output configurations allow the series to support systems requiring one regulated rail or paired output rails from a common DC source.

The modules provide up to 60 W of output power and efficiency up to 93.5%. Output-voltage trimming from -10% to +20% offers adjustment flexibility, while remote sensing can help compensate for voltage drop between the converter and its load. Remote on/off control supports integration with system-level power sequencing or shutdown functions.

For electrically sensitive applications, the series provides reinforced 5 kVAC isolation and ultra-low patient leakage current. Protection functions cover short-circuit, overload, and overvoltage conditions.

Applications

• Medical equipment power subsystems requiring IEC 60601-1 safety approvals
• Isolated DC power rails in critical power-conversion designs
• Compact systems requiring regulated 5 VDC to 30 VDC single or dual outputs
• Equipment with 9 VDC to 36 VDC source rails that benefit from a 4:1 input range
• Designs requiring remote enable control, remote sensing, or output adjustment

Design considerations

The QAM60T uses a quarter-brick package measuring 57.9 mm × 36.8 mm × 12.7 mm. Its baseplate-cooled construction should be considered as part of the system thermal design, particularly when approaching the 60 W rating or operating across the specified -40°C to +105°C temperature range.

Designers should select the appropriate single- or dual-output variant and verify that the required output voltage falls within the 5 VDC to 30 VDC range. The input supply must remain within the specified 9 VDC to 36 VDC range. Where output accuracy at the load is important, remote-sense connections and the available -10% to +20% trim range can be incorporated into the power-distribution design.

The reinforced 5 kVAC isolation and medical safety approvals may be relevant to isolation-boundary and safety requirements, but overall system compliance remains dependent on the complete end-product design.
