Digital DC/DC converter delivers 1300 W in half-brick package for RF Power Amplifier applications Flex Power Modules announces the BMR685, the first digital DC/DC converter for Radio Frequency (RF) Power Amplifiers in the half-brick form factor that can provide continuous output power of up to 1300 W. With telecoms infrastructure shifting to 5G, the RFPA is becoming increasingly power-hungry, and RF Power Amplifier designers are moving from LDMOS to Gallium Nitride (GaN) Transistors. Overall, there’s a demand for highly efficient DC/DC converters, that can deliver the power required in a compact package. The BMR685’s power-handling capabilities make it well-suited to these high-power RF Power Amplifier applications, for both LDMOS and GAN needing a 50 V rail.
