AK80A-024L-120F14

DC DC converters are power conversion devices used to convert one DC voltage to another DC voltage. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the AK80A-024L-120F14 converter.

The AK80A-024L-120F14 is an embedded high-efficiency (95%) synchronous step-down DC DC converter. Its main feature is that it can provide a high step-down (120-24V) ratio to efficiently regulate a range of input voltages from 6V to 24V. This converter is designed for applications such as automotive, portable electronics and industrial systems. It is also well suited for powering high-efficiency CAN bus systems, remote I/O nodes, current loop transceivers, digital display panels and other automotive and industrial applications.

The most important feature of the AK80A-024L-120F14 is its high efficiency, which is gained through its synchronous topology and its high-speed High-Side and Low-Side MOSFETs. This converter is able to achieve 95% efficiency at its maximum rated output current of 0.63 A, making it one of the most efficient DC DC converters on the market.

The AK80A-024L-120F14 converter also features a wide variety of features and protection functions to ensure reliable operation in hostile environments. It has short circuit protection, undervoltage lock-out and overvoltage protection and thermal protection. It also features output voltage margining for precise voltage setting.

The working principle of the AK80A-024L-120F14 converter is based on the concept of switched-mode power conversion. The incoming voltage is stepped down by two power MOSFETs operating in a synchronous rectification mode. These MOSFETs are controlled by a PWM high-side driver and a low-side driver which provide the precise control needed to accurately regulate the output voltage.

This converter uses a transformer to transform the power from the input voltage to the output voltage. The transformer works in a similar manner to a step-down transformer, but instead of having two windings, it has only one winding which has a much higher turn count. The high turn count causes the primary voltage to be stepped down to the secondary voltage, which is then used to create the output voltage.

The AK80A-024L-120F14 is a suitable choice for a wide range of automotive, portable electronic, industrial and many other applications. Its high efficiency and numerous protection and safety features make it a reliable source of power for any system.
