PXE2024WD12

DC DC Converters

DC-to-DC converters are voltage regulation devices that convert a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. The PXE2024WD12 device is a type of DC-to-DC converter. It is a step-down regulator made with a TO-220 package.

Application Field

The PXE2024WD12 is typically used in battery-operated and automotive applications. It is also used in constant-voltage and constant-current sources, chargers and other power supply designs. The device can also be used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, and as an integrated part of system level Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications.

Working Principle

The PXE2024WD12 utilizes a power transistor to switch current from an input voltage to the output voltage. The voltage regulation is adjustable by varying the potentiometer value. The duty cycle or ‘on’ time of the switch is controlled by the internal Power MOSFET driver circuit. The internal chip also provides thermal protection, soft-start and over-current protection.

The PXE2024WD12 device is highly efficient and capable of regulating up to 2.4 W of power. It is a step-down regulator and has an input voltage range of 4.5 VDC to 30VDC. The device offers a wide output voltage range of 0.8 VDC to 18 VDC. It is powered by a current of up to 5A.

Conclusion

The PXE2024WD12 is a versatile DC-to-DC converter, suitable for a wide range of consumer, automotive, industrial and IIoT applications. The device is highly efficient and capable of regulating up to 2.4 W of power. It offers a wide range of input and output voltage levels and is protected by a range of safety features.
