CES24150-4-N

DC/DC converters are electric power converters which convert one DC supply voltage to another, usually lower voltage. They are frequently used to convert the supply voltage of a device to a lower voltage required by its internal circuits. DC/DC converters are available in a range of power capacities with different output voltage levels. The application field and working principle of the DC/DC converter CES24150-4-N is discussed below.

Application Field

The CES24150-4-N DC/DC converter is a 4-phase, 2 output, isolated DC/DC converter with a switch frequency of 250 kHz. This converter is designed for applications that require high power density and high efficiency, such as wireless base stations, industrial automation, and portable devices. With its low input voltage of 24 V and low output voltage of 15 V, the CES24150-4-N is ideal for applications that use higher input voltages and require converter with output voltage to step the voltage down.

Working Principle

The CES24150-4-N DC/DC converter consists of two main components: an inductor-based series-regulated voltage converter and a diode rectifier-based voltage converter. The series-regulated converter contains two inductors connected in series with the input and output. It is operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM). In this mode, the voltage and current waveforms are symmetrical and the input voltage and output voltage are proportional to each other. The power conversion ratio is based on the ratio of the input and output voltages.

The second part of the DC/DC converter is a diode rectifier-based converter. This converter uses a diode bridge to convert the output of the series-regulated converter into direct current. The diode rectifier is configured in either buck or boost topology depending on the input and output requirements. The CES24150-4-N DC/DC converter uses the buck topology configuration for the diode rectifier. The converter operates in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), which generates a pulsed DC output.

Conclusion

The CES24150-4-N DC/DC converter is an efficient and reliable power converter that is designed for high power density applications. Its reliable operation is achieved by the combination of two converters working in tandem: a series-regulated voltage converter and a diode rectifier-based converter. It is used in applications that require low input voltage and low output voltage, such as wireless base stations, industrial automation, and portable devices. The 4-phase, 2-output, switch frequency of 250 kHz makes it an ideal solution for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
