XP Power today announced the availability of its ISF, ISG and ISL series of low cost miniature surface mount DC/DC converters. The ISF and ISG 1 Watt series measure just 0.60 x 0.44 x 0.25 inches (15.24 x 11.2 x 6.5 mm). Together with the slightly larger 1.5 Watt ISL model, these ultra compact devices take up the minimum of board space allowing designers to reduce the size of their applications. Also, with their industry standard pin out, they are ideal as a drop-in replacement for existing designs. The ISF & ISG models are available with alternative pin out and package configurations to order.
