REC5-2412SRWZ/H4/C/SMD-R

DC DC Converters are a type of electrical circuit used to convert a DC power source from one voltage level to another. The REC5-2412SRWZ/H4/C/SMD-R is one specific type of DC DC Converter. This particular part is a regulated 5A (peak 10A) step-down switching regulator, and it converts input voltages from 5V to 24V into a regulated output voltage of 12V at up to 5A. Additionally, it supports an on-off enable control.

The REC5-2412SRWZ/H4/C/SMD-R includes features such as internal over-current, short-circuit, thermal and under-voltage protections, as well as soft start, variable switching frequency and PWM/PFM frequency selection for improved efficiency. This device is suitable for a variety of applications, including industrial control, automation, medical and test & measurement. It also features high efficiency (up to 94%) and low output ripple (<50mV), and is RoHS compliant.

The working principle of a DC DC converter is based on the fact that voltage and current can be converted by transferring energy from the input to the output. This is accomplished by using a transformer, inductor, switch, and a rectifier. When the switch is turned on, energy is stored in the inductor and then when it is turned off, energy is transferred to the output. In the case of the REC5-2412SRWZ/H4/C/SMD-R, the device is equipped with an internal circuit that includes a MOSFET switch and current limit circuit so that the switching frequency can be changed in order to increase or decrease efficiency.

The REC5-2412SRWZ/H4/C/SMD-R is a highly efficient, low output ripple and high-power DC DC converter that can be used in a variety of applications. Its features such as thermal protection and under-voltage protection ensure it performs reliably in extreme environmental conditions. Moreover, its adjustable switching frequency and PWM/PFM frequency selection capabilities offer greater flexibility for achieving improved efficiency.
