ERM01B36

DC DC Converters

A DC-DC converter is an electronic device that converts a direct current (DC) input voltage into a different DC output voltage. It is typically used for providing power to electronic circuits in cars, computers, and electrical systems. The most common DC-DC converters are voltage regulators, switching regulators, and linear regulators.

ERM01B36 Application Field and Working Principle

The ERM01B36 is a DC-DC converter from ERM Electronic of USA. It is a single-output buck converter that is designed to convert a wide range of input voltages from 5V to 36V, into an adjustable output voltage from 0.6V to 12V. It is an advanced, highly-efficient DC-DC converter that is used in applications such as computer and other electronic equipment power supplies, motor drive inverters, solar cell input and array accumulation, and battery charging/discharging machines.

The working principle of the ERM01B36 is based on a buck converter circuit, which utilizes the voltage conversion concept of a continuous current draw from a high voltage source to a lower voltage output. This can be accomplished by using a transistor switch (usually a MOSFET) to pulse the supply current, which is then safely regulated by a feedback system. The pulse width of the switch is then varied in order to keep the output voltage constant despite changing input and load conditions.

The ERM01B36 uses a current mode control scheme, which utilizes an adjustable error amplifier as the feedback regulator to regulate the output voltage. The output voltage is set using an external reference voltage. The switching frequency of the device is adjustable with an external resistor, and the internal regulation loop limits the peak current to a safe level that is regulated by the built-in current limit circuit.

The device also has a number of features such as soft-start, protection against short-circuit, over-voltage, andunder-voltage, as well as a balm mode control for high switching frequency applications. It has a high accuracy of ±1.5% of the output voltage, and a high efficiency of up to 95% at full load.

The ERM01B36 offers a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for DC-DC conversion applications. With its wide range of input and output voltages and features, it is well suited for applications that require a high degree of accuracy and reliability.
