MT2-1215WI

DC-DC converters are electrical components used for the conversion of electrical energy from one form to another, such as from a direct current (DC) to an alternating current (AC) or from a low voltage DC to a high voltage DC. The MT2-1215WI is one such device. It is a configurable DC–DC voltage converter module that offers up to 12 volts of output voltage and an adjustable output current of up to 15A.

Application Field of the MT2-1215WI

The MT2-1215WI DC–DC converter is designed for a wide variety of applications, including embedded system power supplies, automotive power conversion systems, servers, and industrial equipment. The versatility of the device is due to its voltage output range of 0-12 volts, adjustable output current of up to 15 amps, and a wide temperature range from -55 to 125°C.

The unique design of the MT2-1215WI also enables it to be configured for input ripple current filtering, allowing it to improve the output voltage regulation when used with low quality power supplies. This feature makes it an ideal choice for applications where power quality is critical, such as in medical and military applications.

Working Principle of the MT2-1215WI

The MT2-1215WI is an isolated DC–DC voltage converter module that utilizes an isolated half-bridge circuit topology. The voltage input to the converter is rectified and then filtered in order to produce a steady DC voltage. This voltage is then used to drive two power switches (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, or MOSFETs) which form the bridge circuit.

As the MOSFETs switch on and off, the bridge forms a voltage doubler/chopper circuit that produces two high frequency pulses, each 180° out of phase with the other. These pulses are then sent to a transformer and rectified and filtered to produce the output. In addition, feedback from the output voltage of the converter is used to regulate the voltage to the desired level. A divide-by-two circuit and an adjustable constant current source are also present, allowing the output current to be adjusted.

The entire process of converting the input voltage to the desired output voltage is accomplished by a combination of efficient energy management and high-frequency switching, allowing the device to operate with minimal power loss.

The MT2-1215WI is one of the most versatile and reliable DC–DC converters available. Its wide range of features, such as adjustable output current, voltage output range, and suitable temperature range, make it an ideal solution for applications requiring a reliable power solution.
