PD-IM-7504B/F

The PD-IM-7504B/F is a highly reliable and efficient evaluation board for DC/DC and AC/DC off-line SMPS. This board can be used to simulate a wide range of AC/DC and DC/DC topologies, allowing users to design, test, and inspect their designs in a laboratory environment without having to construct a costly prototype.

The PD-IM-7504B/F is capable of operating with input voltages ranging from 12-75 volts AC/DC and 12-60 volts DC in a constant voltage, variable current, pulsed power mode. This eval board is designed with a maximum power of 7.5 watts and a maximum operating temperature of +85 degrees Celsius. In addition, it is equipped with overcurrent protection circuitry. The board also sports an onboard power wire.

The working principle of the PD-IM-7504B/F is based on the principle of a buck converter, which is a type of DC-DC converter known for its simplicity and efficiency. The buck converter consists of two main components, the power switch and the inductor. When the power switch is closed, current flows through the inductor and increases its magnetic field. This energy in the inductor is transferred to the output capacitor, reducing the voltage at the output. On the other hand, when the power switch is opened, the inductor releases its stored energy to the output capacitor, which increases the voltage at the output. This cycle is repeated and as a result, the output voltage is regulated.

The PD-IM-7504B/F is a great choice for DC/DC and AC/DC off-line SMPS applications since it offers many features and advantages. It is capable of regulating both the input and output voltages, automatically switching between buck and boost modes, providing overcurrent protection, and operating in a wide range of temperatures. In addition, it is highly reliable and efficient, making it perfect for cost-effective prototype testing and evaluation.
