REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL

DC DC Converters, such as the REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL, are specially designed power supplies that convert a specific voltage into another type of voltage. This unique type of device is typically used to provide power to electronic components that cannot take full advantage of power supplied in standard voltage configurations. In order to understand the full application field of the REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL requires knowledge of the working principles behind this type of power converter.

The REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL is designed to convert continuous voltaic power from an external source, such as 12, 24 or 48 volts DC, into variable output voltages between 0.6 and 9.5 volts DC. To accomplish this, the DC DC Converter must use some form of power conversion technology, most commonly a form of rectification derived from traditional transformer designs. An input power source is connected to the converter, which is then able to adjust the input voltage using a specialized rectifier circuits to the correct level needed for the output voltage.

The input current is then routed through a series of resistors and transistors, each contributing a specific value to the current before it reaches the output terminals. Each internal component is tuned to operate with a very specific gain or threshold; when the input voltage is altered past the set threshold, the internal circuits of the DC DC Converter will respond to this changing input energy and adjust only the output voltage appropriately. By manipulating these gain and thresholds, the variable output of the REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL can be altered to the desires of its designer.

In most cases, the application of a DC DC Converter such as the REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL will be found in one of two settings. The first is an open-source environment, where the device is used in lieu of a traditional transformer to provide varying levels of DC voltage to electrical circuitry, such as pre-amplification or other internal components of a larger system. This type of application can offer designers the flexibility to adjust the input voltage without concern for adjusting the entire system voltage. The second application is in a closed system, where the DC DC Converter is located within the system itself in order to provide an adjustable output of current to select components depending on the system needs. This type of application is usually found in adjustable speed air conditioning units and motors.

In either application, the working principle of the REC3-4809SRW/H4/A/SMD/CTRL is the same. An input voltage is rectified to an appropriate working level, and then routed through internal passive components before being directed to the output terminals. By doing so, the converter is able to provide adjustable DC voltages for various applications.
