REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2

DC-DC converters are a type of power technology used to convert one type of direct current energy to another. They are composed of electrical components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors, all of which are connected in a specific manner. The goal of these devices is to take a varying, unregulated input voltage and provide an output voltage that is either constant or regulated to the desired voltage. The REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2 is an example of a DC-DC converter with a specific application and working principle.

Application for the REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2

The REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2 is a 28 volt isolated 1.2 amp DC-DC converter. This converter is used in applications that require high power density in a small form factor, such as medical imaging, industrial automation, instrumentation, avionics, and defense. This model is particularly well-suited for applications that require the flexibility of remote on/off control of the output and synchronization of multiple units. This is enabled by the on/off control input and the external synchronization input.

Working Principle

The REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2 works using a bridge rectifier followed by a step-down transformer, a selection of power switches, and a controller circuitry. The input voltage is converted into DC power, and then transformed to a reduced voltage by the transformer. The power switches are then used to regulate the output voltage by alternating the path of the DC power. The controller circuitry is responsible for monitoring and controlling the steps of the process to maintain the desired output voltage.

The REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2 has an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, and boasts a total isolation of 500 volts between input and output. It has a good thermal performance, is capable of both fixed frequency and spread frequency operation, and offers many protection features such as over voltage protection, short circuit protection and thermal shutdown.

Conclusion

The REC5-2409SRWZ/H4/A/M/CTRL/X2 is a DC-DC converter specifically designed for applications that demand high power density in a small form factor and the ability to control and synchronize multiple units. The converter works by first converting the input voltage to DC power, then reducing that voltage by using a step-down transformer. Power switches are then used to regulate the output voltage, and the controller circuitry is responsible for monitoring and controlling the process. This model features a wide operating range, good thermal performance, and offers a variety of protection features.
