REC3.5-0515SRW/R8/A

DC DC converters are electronic components that convert DC voltage or power from one voltage to another. REC3.5-0515SRW/R8/A is a high-efficiency step-down DC DC converter with a wide input voltage range and overload, over current and short circuit protections. It is suitable for embedded industrial control systems, communication systems, medical apparatus, test equipment and other DC power systems that require stable and reliable power supply.

Application field

REC3.5-0515SRW/R8/A has a wide input voltage range of 4.5V-40V and a maximum efficiency of 96% with a fast transient response. It can provide an output current of up to 15A and is suitable to convert a voltage of 5V with a high efficiency. With its high efficiency, it is suitable for application in structured cabling, HVAC, industrial automation, data storage, security systems, transportation and other embedded systems.

Working principle

REC3.5-0515SRW/R8/A uses buck conversion technology to convert the input voltage to a lower output voltage. It comprises of two switches, an inductor, and a capacitor. The switches are used to control the current that is passed from the input voltage to the output voltage. The inductor stores energy in its electromagnetic field during the conduction of the switches, and it is released to the output when the switches are cut off. The capacitor acts as a buffer to maintain a steady output voltage. The operation of the switches is controlled by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal which is generated by a microcontroller or digital signal processor.

Conclusion

REC3.5-0515SRW/R8/A is a high-efficiency step-down DC DC converter with a wide input voltage range and overload, over current and short circuit protections. It can provide an output current of up to 15A and is suitable for application in a variety of embedded systems. It uses buck conversion technology and comprises of two switches, an inductor and a capacitor in order to convert the input voltage to a lower output voltage.
