AC DC Converters: LXN1605-6 Application Field and Working Principle

The LXN1605-6 is an AC-DC converter designed for applications where maximum current of 6A is required, but where small size and high efficiency are also of importance. This AC-DC converter is also ideal for applications where the constant and reliable operation can be ensured due to its significant mechanical properties. This application field and its working principle will be covered in the following article.

Application Field

This AC-DC converter is suitable for a variety of requirements, such as individual electronic devices, LED lights, motion control, consumer electronics, and renewable energy. Because of it’s high efficiency and low power losses, it’s also used in solar systems and medical applications.

Advantages

The LXN1605-6 AC-DC converter has a wide range of advantages for application in various individual or collective settings. These include higher efficiency ratings, lower electrical noise, a low start-up current, and no audible noise. In addition, it provides precise output voltage over a wide input voltage range, with a lowor no-load power consumption.

Working Principle

The LXN1605-6 works on the principle of changing high voltage alternating current (AC) to low voltage direct current (DC). The converter contains two parts: An input side, where AC is converted to high voltage DC, and an output side, where low voltage DC is regulated and transformed. In the input section a rectifier is used to convert AC to DC, whereas in the output section a DC-DC converter or a switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is used to obtain the desired output voltage and current.

On the input side, the AC is rectified to high-voltage DC by the following four stages: high power factor rectification, active power factor correction, Voltage regulation and surge suppression. The resulting DC is then converted into a low voltage DC by the output section, where a DC-DC converter is utilized for current and voltage regulation. In this section, the DC is processed, regulated and transformed either into a single or a multiple low voltage DC output.

Conclusion

The LXN1605-6 is designed for applications where maximum current of 6A is required, but where small size and high efficiency are also of importance. This AC-DC converter is suitable for a variety of requirements, such as individual electronic devices, LED lights, motion control, consumer electronics, and renewable energy. It works on the principle of changing high voltage AC to low voltage DC by using a rectifier on the input side and a DC-DC converter on the output side. The LXN1605-6 has a wide range of advantages for application in various individual or collective settings.
