TUHS5F24

AC/DC converters are electronic power supplies that convert an alternating current (AC) input voltage into a direct current (DC) output voltage. The TUHS5F24 is a non-isolated step-down DC/DC converter module that works with input voltages up to 36V. It has a continuous output current up to 3A and a low quiescent current of less than 4mA. The converter has two power stages: a controller and a power stage.

The controller is responsible for providing feedback to the power stage so that it produces a stable and efficient DC output voltage. It is equipped with an internal voltage regulation loop and a current limiting circuit. The controller also allows for adjustable output voltages from 0.8V up to 28V. The output regulation is kept to within ±2% under normal, steady state operating conditions.

The power stage is the part of the converter that actually produces the DC output voltage from the AC input. It is a switching power supply, which means that it is able to convert AC power into DC power with very high efficiency, typically close to 90% or more. The power stage contains a pair of MOSFET transistors, which are driven by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal generated by the controller. This PWM signal is responsible for switching the two transistors on and off at very high speeds, in order to achieve the required output voltage.

The TUHS5F24 provides several features to ensure efficient and accurate operation. This includes an output current limit, thermal shut-off, over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, and under-voltage lockout. It is both compact and lightweight, making it suitable for various applications. Additionally, the module is backwards compatible, meaning that it can also be used with a voltage range of 12-24V.

The TUHS5F24 is suitable for a variety of applications, including industrial and automotive applications. It can be used to power low-power LED lighting, small scale embedded systems, and smaller motor drives. Its excellent voltage regulation and high efficiency make it an ideal choice for these applications. Additionally, its ability to operate with input voltages up to 36V makes it well-suited for use in automotive systems.
