TEN 40-4810

DC to DC converters play a critical role in any power electronics systems. In many industries, specifically when the power quality of the system is fairly stable and does not fluctuate significantly, DC-DC converters are the preferred solution. The TEN 40-4810 is an example of one kind of DC-DC converter. It is designed for extremely high efficiency and features a switching frequency that can be adjusted to suit specific needs.

Application Field

The TEN 40-4810 can be used in a wide range of applications, including transportation, solar and wind power systems, industrial automation, test and measurement, and medical equipment. It is designed for high reliability in mission-critical applications, and has a wide input voltage range, with an operating voltage of 40V to 48V and a maximum input voltage of 48V. It is especially suitable for high-voltage, wide-input DC-DC applications.

Working Principle

The TEN 40-4810 uses an active clamp technique to produce an output that is regulated and capable of delivering an adjustable output voltage. The core functionality of the converter is based on a two-stage topology. The first stage consists of a buck converter which takes in the 48V input and provides a regulated intermediate output voltage. In the second stage, the intermediate output is actively regulated and then used to drive a step-down buck-boost converter, resulting in the regulated output.

The active clamp technique is controlled by an on-board microcontroller to ensure that the intermediate output voltage remains constant. The microcontroller also features an adaptive voltage positioning technique which enables the use of MOSFETs with a higher on-resistance at any given load current. This improves power efficiency and reduces on-state losses.

The TEN 40-4810 also features a synchronous rectifier to reduce switching losses and improve overall power conversion efficiency. The synchronous rectifier is controlled by the on-board microcontroller to ensure that it is always operating within the optimal range.

Conclusion

The TEN 40-4810 is a high-efficiency, reliable DC-DC converter. It is designed for high reliability in mission-critical applications, and its active clamp technique ensures that the output voltage remains constant. The on-board microcontroller enables an adaptive voltage positioning technique for improved power efficiency, and its synchronous rectifier helps to reduce switching losses. The TEN 40-4810 is suitable for a wide range of applications, from transportation to medical and industrial automation.
