• Consumer electronics, e.g. smartphone, laptop, music players, portable game consoles.

Working Principle of REC3-1212DR/H1/M DC-DC Converters

The REC3-1212DR/H1/M is a switching step-down (buck) DC/DC converter, typically used to convert a high input voltage (3.3-5.5 VDC) to a much lower output voltage (1.2-4.0 VDC). It uses a high-frequency transformer to perform the voltage conversion by regulating the input current. By using a switching control scheme, it is able to achieve high efficiency as well as a low output voltage ripple and current ripple. This is because the switching control prevents the transformer from overloading itself, allowing it to convert power with high efficiency. In addition, the frequency of the switching control is much higher than the ripple frequency of the output voltage and current, thus suppressing any ripple present to a very low value.
