RDK-313

RDK-313 is one of the most popular evaluation boards for DC/DC and AC/DC (Off-Line) SMPS. It is a reliable and cost-efficient board designed to rapidly evaluate and prototype switching power supplies. It is a versatile off-line switcher evaluation board with dual-output switching, adjustable voltage, and adjustable current.

The RDK-313 supports various topologies such as flyback, forward, full-bridge, half-bridge, and resonant. It can be used to evaluate up to 120W of power and 15A of current. It has a wide input voltage range (86VAC - 265VAC), thus enabling evaluation on the mains voltage without any modifications. The output voltage can also be adjusted from 0.2V - 600V while output current from 0.02A -15A. The RDK-313 also includes numerous monitoring and protection features such as input voltage monitoring, output voltage measurement, over-current and power-good protection.

The board consists of three main components: the main module (PSU), the data logger (DLL), and the power protection module (PMU). The main module, also known as the power supply or switching stage, is responsible for controlling, regulating, and supplying power to the load. It contains synchronous rectifiers, MOSFET drivers, current and voltage sensing circuitry, and control logic. It operates at a frequency of up to 1MHz. The next component, the data logger, is responsible for logging the various measurements and data from the power supply. This includes voltage and current measurements, power consumption, as well as input and output voltages. The third component, the power protection module, provides protection features such as over-voltage, over-current and power-on protection. All three components work in conjunction to provide reliable and efficient power delivery throughout the system.

The RDK-313 is widely used in a number of applications such as LED lighting, telecommunications, automotive, industrial, medical, computing, and consumer electronics. It is compatible with various types of switching controllers such as PWM, analogue, digital, and mixed signal. RDK-313 has proven to be a cost-effective and reliable power solution, enabling companies to quickly and easily prototype their applications.

In conclusion, the RDK-313 is an ideal choice for evaluating and prototyping DC/DC and AC/DC (off-line) SMPS. It is a reliable and cost-efficient board that enables companies to quickly and easily prototype their applications. It is also compliant with various switching controllers and provides numerous monitoring and protection features. All in all, the RDK-313 is a well-rounded and reliable solution for evaluating and prototyping switching power supplies.
