Working Principle

The RP30-1212DE-HC DC-DC converter utilizes a synchronous-rectification, pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching power supply architecture. When the input voltage is applied, an internal switching circuit begins switching at a high frequency. This high frequency creates a voltage difference between the input and output terminals, thus converting the voltage level. The RP30-1212DE-HC is designed with synchronous rectification, which allows for improved efficiency and higher power output. The output voltage is adjustable through an onboard potentiometer. The onboard circuit also features current limiting and other protections to maintain the safety of the circuit.
