DC/DC converters can be used to modify the voltage and/or current of a DC source. Such converters are commonly used in equipment like mobile phones, laptops, and other portable devices that require a low amount of power. The RP15-483.3SA/P is one such product in this category that is used for the conversion of DC input power to a desired output power. This application note will explain the application field of the RP15-483.3SA/P as well as its working principle.

Application Field

The RP15-483.3SA/P is a high-performance DC/DC converter with ultra-low standby power consumption. It is optimized for a wide variety of consumer, automotive, and industrial applications such as battery-powered portable equipment, automotive powertrains, and power distribution networks. The device accepts a DC input voltage from 4.2V to 16V and provides an adjustable output voltage of up to 20V.

The RP15-483.3SA/P includes several features that provide reduced consumption and improved flexibility. It includes an input feed-forward, capacitive converter power factor correction (PFC), reverse battery protection, soft start, and overtemperature protection. Additionally, the device is compliant with industrial standards such as IEC61000-3-2 and -3-4, making it suitable for residential, office, and industrial applications.

Working Principle

The device works by converting a DC input voltage into a regulated DC output voltage. The basic schematic of the device can be found in Figure 1. The input power is applied to the device and is rectified using a high-frequency switch-mode power converter. The rectified input voltage then passes through an EMI filter before entering the primary side circuitry. The primary side circuitry consists of a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a high-frequency oscillator, and a MOSFET switch.

The power factor correction (PFC) circuit works to ensure that the input voltage and current are always in phase. The high-frequency oscillator generates a series of pulses that are used to switch the primary side MOSFET. The pulses are sent to the secondary side via a transformer, which increases or decreases the voltage based on the primary side input voltage. On the secondary side, a diode bridge is used to rectify the AC signal to a DC voltage.

Finally, the output voltage is regulated with a feedback loop. The feedback loop consists of a voltage monitoring circuit and an error amplifying circuit, which monitors the output voltage and adjusts the pulse width modulation accordingly to keep the output voltage at the desired value. The RP15-483.3SA/P also features an adjustable soft-start circuit which helps reduce inrush current and protects components from voltage or current spikes.
