Working Principle

The REC5-0512SRW/H2/C/M/SMD-R DC-DC converter utilizes a pair of electronic switches with matched performance to convert a DC input into a DC output. The switching operation is regulated by a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control circuit, which adjusts the output voltage to the desired level. The result is a low-ripple output voltage and a highly efficient power supply.

The DC input to the DC-DC converter is typically adjusted through a potentiometer or an external analog/digital control voltage. The output voltage and current can also be monitored and adjusted through an onboard thermal sensing system. This integrated monitoring and control system eliminates the need for external thermistors and is capable of automatic recovery from over-voltage and over-current conditions.

Conclusion

The REC5-0512SRW/H2/C/M/SMD-R is an efficient and reliable DC-DC converter for a variety of applications. Its highly efficient switching operation, integrated control and monitoring system, and wide input and output range make it an ideal choice for industrial, commercial, and avionic applications.
