Description
The CAR0812DC series of converters provide highly efficient isolated power from 48/60Vdc -input systems. Offered in
the industry standard compact 1U form factor, these converters complement the CAR0812 rectifier line, providing
comprehensive solutions for systems connected either to commercial AC mains or 48/60Vdc power plants. This plug
and play approach, between AC and DC input units, has significant advantages since systems can be readily
reconfigured by simply replacing the power supply.
The high-density, front-to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future
growth. The industry standard PMBus compliant I
2
C communications bus offers a full range of control and monitoring
capabilities. The SMBusAlert signal pin alerts customers automatically of any state change within the power supply.

Data Sheet
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings
only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations
sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect the device reliability.
