AEE01CC18-L

DC-DC converters are devices that convert a direct current (DC) input power source into another output voltage and current. AEE01CC18-L is one of such varieties of converters. This page discusses the application field and working principle of the AEE01CC18-L converter.The AEE01CC18-L is designed to convert a DC voltage input source into a regulated or adjustable DC output voltage. This makes it ideal for power supplies, automotive infotainment systems, medical imaging systems, and other applications with a wide range of DC voltage requirements. The AEE01CC18-L is also capable of providing power to multiple outputs simultaneously, with a maximum total output current of 6.2A.The AEE01CC18-L is a non-isolated buck converter composed of four main functional blocks: a power stage, a control stage, a feedback section, and a protection section. The power stage consists of key components such as an inductor and a switching FET for controlling the output voltage. The control stage includes a PWM controller, a loop compensation circuit, and a voltage reference circuit. The feedback section contains a feedback control circuit and a feedback voltage measurement circuit. The protection section contains a frequency monitor, an overvoltage protection circuit, and an overtemperature shutdown circuit. All of these components work together to ensure proper operation, high efficiency, and reliable operation of the AEE01CC18-L converter.The operation of the AEE01CC18-L converter is based on the buck converter topology. The power switching FET, controlled by the PWM controller, alternately connects and disconnects the input voltage source to the inductor, thus generating a pulsating current in the inductor. This pulsating current causes a magnetic buildup in the inductor which, in turn, drives the output voltage. The output voltage is regulated by the feedback section which continuously monitors the output voltage and adjusts the duty cycle of the power switching FET accordingly.The AEE01CC18-L converter also provides protection against under-voltage, overvoltage, over-current, and overtemperature. These features ensure reliable operation and system safety. The AEE01CC18-L converter also includes an input UVLO (Under-Voltage Lock Out) feature which shuts down the converter in the event of an input voltage failure.In summary, the AEE01CC18-L converter is a highly efficient, reliable, and versatile device capable of converting a DC voltage input to a regulated or adjustable DC output. Its application field is wide—from power supplies to medical imaging systems and automotive infotainment systems—and its features,including protection and input UVLO, ensure reliable operation and system safety.
