DC DC Converters: R1S12-3.309-R Application Field and Working Principle

DC/DC converters are devices used to convert a DC input voltage to a different DC output voltage. The R1S12-3.309-R from RECOM Power is a unique, cost-effective DC/DC converter that combines size and reliability. This device is suitable for many different applications, from medical electronics to automotive electronics.

This converter has a wide input voltage range of 3 – 16V, as well as a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. It is small in size, measuring only 0.60R x 0.37H inches. These features combine to make it an ideal solution for space-constrained and cost-sensitive designs. The converter is available in SMD and through-hole case styles.

The converter also offers high efficiency and full power over its operating temperature range. The wide input voltage range allows the device to be used in sealed lead-acid battery-powered systems, thus saving you the hassle of having to change the battery often. In addition, this device offers a selection of output voltages (1.2-3.3V, 2.5-5V, 4-8V and 5-12V) and output current ranges (up to 500mA).

In terms of the working principle, the converter converts the DC input voltage to an alternating voltage by means of a power switch. Then, the alternating voltage is converted back to the DC output voltage by means of a built-in, high frequency transformer and a rectifier. The switching frequency of the converter is approximately 500 kHz to 1MHz. The circuit remains in continuous conduction mode, without parking and soft start features.

The RECOM R1S12-3.309-R converter is a good choice for applications that require small size, high efficiency, and wide temperature range operation. The device is ideal for high density, electronic control and DC/DC applications, such as medical equipment, industrial automation, and automotive electronics. It is also ideal for powering LCDs and other low-voltage circuits.

All in all, the RECOM R1S12-3.309-R DC/DC converter is a compact and reliable device that offers multiple input and output capabilities. It is suitable for many different applications, ranging from medical electronics to automotive electronics. Moreover, its wide temperature range, high efficiency, and small size make it an ideal solution for space-constrained and cost-sensitive designs.
