REC10-1215S/H2/M

DC DC Converters

DC to DC converters, sometimes referred to as DC/DC converters, are electronic devices that are used to convert a direct current (DC) energy source from one voltage level to another. They are commonly used in automobiles, boats, aircraft, computers, and other electronic equipment. This article will discuss the applications and working principle of the REC10-1215S/H2/M DC DC converter.

Applications

The REC10-1215S/H2/M DC DC converter is a versatile and dependable device designed for high temperature, high current, low voltage applications, and is especially suitable for automotive battery systems. It can efficiently convert a DC energy source, such as a 12 V battery, to a smaller voltage, such as 5 V, to power the on-board electronics in a car. It is also ideal for applications such as vehicle navigation systems, telecommunication systems, back-up power systems, and automotive lighting systems.

Working Principle

The REC10-1215S/H2/M DC DC Converter works on a buck-boost control principle. It uses an integrated pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller with a power MOSFET switch to convert the input voltage to the desired output voltage. The device operates in two modes: an “ON” mode, in which the output voltage is equal to the input voltage; and an “OFF” mode, in which the output voltage is a constant level below the input voltage. The device uses the PWM controller to regulate the amount of time that the power MOSFET switch is OFF, thus controlling the output voltage. An external resistor can be connected to the device to adjust the output voltage.

The REC10-1215S/H2/M is designed to have low output ripple, low noise, and high efficiency at different load currents. It features a wide input voltage range of 8-14 V, and an output voltage range of 5 V with a maximum load current of 1 A. The device is also designed to be extremely efficient, with a typical efficiency of 96%.

Conclusion

The REC10-1215S/H2/M DC DC converter is an ideal choice for low voltage, high current applications such as automotive battery systems. It uses a pulse-width modulation controller with a power MOSFET switch to convert the input voltage to the desired output voltage, and features low output ripple, low noise, and high efficiency. The device is designed to have a wide input voltage range and is capable of operating in temperature ranges as low as -40°C. It is an excellent choice for automotive lighting systems, vehicle navigation systems, and telecommunication systems.
