AEO40x48 / ALO40x48 Single Output 8
th
Brick: Baseplate or Open-Frame Module
The AEO40x48 / ALO40x48 series is Astec’s High Current 8
th
Brick industry standard offering. Operating from an input voltage
range of 36V to 75V, the series provides 7 configured outputs starting from 1.2V all the way up to 12V. It delivers up to 40A max
current for 1.8V and lower at impressive levels of efficiency. It provides tight regulation and exhibits clean and monotonic output
start up characteristics. The AEO_ALO series comes with industry standard features such as Input UVLO; non-latching OCP,
OVP and OTP; Output Trim; Differential Remote Sense pins. Both baseplate (AEO) and open frame (ALO) construction are
available as well as TH or SMT termination. With its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C ambient, the converters
are deployable into almost any environment.

1. Derating curves for both openframe and baseplate modules are based on derated component junction
temperatures of 120
o
C or less where applicable.
2. Module is not internally fuesd; an external input line fuse is recommended for
use (e.g. Littlefuse
®
465 Series / 250V min).
3. Refer to Figure 1 for the input ripple current test measurement setup.
4. Refer to Fig 2 for the output ripple and noise test measurement setup.
5. Output derating may apply at elevated ambient temperatures. Please refer to the appropriate derating curves.
6. Refer to the output trim equations provided (Equation 1 and 2).
