TEP 160-4816WIR

DC-DC converters are power converters that change the voltage level of a DC source. Graphically, they are represented as a box or a line with arrows pointing in opposite directions, representing the transformation of electric power from one circuit to another. The TEP 160-4816WIR is a type of DC-DC converter that provides an ideal solution for applications that require Port Powered or Wall Powered, High Voltage (480V+ to as high as 800V) sources with low output, such as lighting applications.

The TEP 160-4816WIR is a high power, ultra-low-cost, the input voltage in the range of 480V to 800V DC, with ultra-wide range adjustability (80:1), and a wide input/output voltage load range of 0.2V to 11.4V. It can deliver up to 16 A (19.2 V) of continuous power and can handle a maximum load current of up to 20 A. The TEP 160-4816WIR is a highly efficient power module, and can be used for applications such as LED lighting, vehicle/battery charging, and various industrial and medical devices.

The internal working principle of the TEP 160-4816WIR is known as the “Flyback” converter topology. A flyback circuit works by charging a large input capacitor as the input voltage increases. As the voltage on the input capacitor reaches its maximum, it switches the current supply to the output side, discharging the stored energy into the load. As the voltage on the output side drops, the input capacitor is reset, allowing for a new phase of energy transfer to the output side.

The Flyback converter is a buck-boost topology which provides isolation between the input side and the output side. This provides protection from surges, and helps regulate the output voltage with the use of a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit constantly measures the output voltage, and adjusts the power supplied to the load to maintain the desired output voltage. This makes the TEP 160-4816WIR an ideal choice for applications where precise voltage regulation of the load is desired.

The TEP 160-4816WIR provides a wide range of output voltages, from 0.2V to 11.4V. The wide adjustable range combined with the ultra-low cost of the TEP 160-4816WIR makes it a cost-effective choice for applications such as LED lighting, vehicle/battery charging, various industrial and medical devices.

To sum up, the TEP 160-4816WIR is a type of DC-DC converter that provides an ideal solution for applications that require Port Powered or Wall Powered, High Voltage (480V+ to as high as 800V) sources with low output. It works on the Flyback converter topology, providing isolation between the input and output sides. The ultra-low cost and wide adjustable range makes it an ideal choice for applications such as LED lighting, vehicle/battery charging, and various industrial and medical devices.
