SUW101215B

DC DC Converters

DC-DC converters are electrical components that convert Direct Current (DC) from one supply into an adjustable output voltage, producing an output DC voltage of the same, higher, or lower magnitude than the input. The SUW101215B is a high frequency DC/DC converter with an input voltage range of 6V - 48V and an output voltage of 0.58V to 30V. It has a power range of 15W and features adjustable current Limit, short circuit protection, temperature protection, and high efficiency of up to 92%.

The SUW101215B works on the principle of switched-mode power supply (SMPS). This is an electrical power supply that uses semiconductor switching devices, such as transistors, instead of the linear methods of supplying current. In contrast to linear power supplies, SMPS can deliver much higher currents at lower overall sizes and cost than their linear counterparts. The power supply works by rapidly switching the power on and off which is done by a control circuit that produces pulses. The duration of the pulses is regulated and is what determines the amount and frequency of power delivered.

The SUW101215B is a high frequency DC/DC converter, which means that the switching devices are operated at a substantially higher frequency than that of the linear power supply. The high frequency allows for a much higher level of energy conversion and efficiency. It also provides the benefit of a much smaller size compared to the linear power supply. The switching frequency for the SUW101215B can be configured from 20kHz to 250kHz.

The SUW101215B is suitable for a wide range of applications such as industrial control systems, LED lighting systems, solar power, automotive systems, telecommunication equipment, and medical instrumentation. With its adjustable current limit, short circuit protection, temperature protection and high efficiency, the SUW101215B is a reliable and cost-effective solution for many DC/DC applications.
