RSS-2424-R

DC-DC converters are commonly used to convert a direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. The design of a DC-DC converter must consider both efficiency and output power level as well as controlling inrush current, limiting power dissipation and minimising transformer size. One of the common DC-DC converters used is the RSS-2424-R.

The RSS-2424-R is a fully integrated pulse width modulated (PWM) DC-DC converter, which consumes current in short, regular pulses, which allows the output voltage to be accurately regulated over a wide range of input voltage and output load. The RSS-2424-R offers a high power conversion efficiency and ultra-fast transient response time.

The RSS-2424-R can take an input voltage of 8.6 to 33V DC and can provide an output from 12 to 24V DC at a peak current of 24A (18A continuous). It offers a wide range of control switching frequencies up to 3MHz with no external components required.

In terms of application field, the RSS-2424-R can used in many applications such as LED lighting, communications, custom power supplies, vehicles, and medical imaging. It is well suited to applications that require high efficiency, small package size and simple device control.

The overall working principle of the RSS-2424-R can be summarized as follows. The input voltage is supplied to the power stage and the output voltage is regulated by the PWM control section. The PWM control section comprises of a high-speed oscillator network and a voltage feedback loop. The frequency of the oscillator is controlled by the input voltage, and it controls the pulse width of the output power switch. This enables the RSS-2424-R to accurately regulate the output voltage over a wide range of input voltage and output load.

The output voltage is further regulated by an integrated error amplifier and a voltage reference. When the input voltage is above the set-point voltage, the error amplifier will activate the output power switch, and the output voltage will drop to the reference voltage. The output voltage is monitored and controlled by the PWM control section.

The RSS-2424-R offers a number of features such as programmable current limit, over-voltage protection (OVP), over-temperature protection (OTP), and short-circuit protection (SCP). Additionally, the device is also UL recognized and has EMC compliance. These features make the RSS-2424-R an ideal choice for many applications.

In conclusion, the RSS-2424-R is a powerful and reliable DC-DC converter, offering a high power conversion efficiency and ultra-fast transient response time. It can be used in many applications such as LED lighting, communications, custom power supplies, vehicles, and medical imaging. It is offered with features such as programmable current limit, over-voltage protection (OVP), over-temperature protection (OTP), and short-circuit protection (SCP). The RSS-2424-R is the ideal choice for design engineers looking for a reliable and efficient DC-DC converter.
