This device is commonly used in distributed power systems, portable electronics, and automotive applications. It can also be used for powering communication, control, and embedded systems. The device is capable of providing a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective means of power conversion.

Working Principle

The REC8-1212DRW/H3/A/M follows a buck-type topology. This topology is commonly used in DC DC converters, as it is one of the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for power conversion. The device is also equipped with an internal switch (MOSFET), which controls the amount of power that is transferred from the input to the output.

When the input voltage is greater than the output voltage, the switch turns on, allowing current to flow through the converter. This current is then rectified by the output stage of the converter, resulting in the desired output voltage. The internal switch will also turn off if the input voltage drops below the output voltage. This prevents the converter from consuming power from the output side.

The REC8-1212DRW/H3/A/M also features a built-in overvoltage protection feature, which will prevent damage to the device if the input voltage exceeds the maximum rated voltage. Additionally, the device comes with an auto-recover feature, which will automatically recover from a short circuit or over-current condition.
