DC DC Converters

DC-DC converters or DC-DC power supplies are electronic circuit elements designed to convert current from one DC voltage level to another. This is commonly used in virtually all power supply applications in which one DC voltage is increased or decreased to regulate power and isolate electrical components. The application field and working principle of REC3-2409DRWZ/H2/A/M/SMD converter is briefly introduced.

Application field

The REC3-2409DRWZ/H2/A/M/SMD DC-DC converter is usually designed to provide output power of 10 to 500 watts, most commonly used in DC-DC applications. They are used in:

• Battery powered systems
• Power management where space is limited
• Telecommunication networks
• Data capture system
• Mobile vehicles
• Multi-layer DC-DC power back up systems

Working principle

To understand how the REC3-2409DRWZ/H2/A/M/SMD DC-DC converter works, it is necessary to know a few basics of electricity. DC-DC converters use the process of electrical induction, to convert one voltage level to another. Induction is the process in which a changing current in one coil induces a current in a nearby coil. This is similar to how a transformer works, where a current in one primary coil induces a current in the secondary coil and this is how the output voltage is formed.

In the case of the REC3-2409DRWZ/H2/A/M/SMD, the voltage from an input source is converted to a regulated output voltage by using controlled semiconductor switches, usually MOSFETs, to control the input voltage. These switches are driven by a control circuit which, in turn, is regulated to provide a specified output voltage. To guarantee a regulated output voltage, the control circuit must always measure the output voltage and adjust the switch control signals accordingly.

This is the main idea of how the REC3-2409DRWZ/H2/A/M/SMD DC-DC converter works. It is a reliable and efficient power supply solution for a wide range of DC applications.
