Working Principle

KHHD015A0F41Z is an isolated, step-down DC-DC converter that uses switching technology to produce regulated output. It is a buck-converter, which means its output is lower than its input voltage. The converter consists of an inductor, a switching transistor, and an output diode. The inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field that is released during the switch-off phase, and the output diode conducts when the transistor opens.

The converter works by regulating the amount of current that flows to the output and regulating the switch on/off time that determines the voltage and current of the output. The switch on/off time is regulated by the control loop that monitors the output voltage. The converter also incorporates protection features such as under-voltage protection, over-voltage protection, and over-temperature protection.
