UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C

DC-DC converters are electronic components designed to convert one type of DC voltage to another. The UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C is a DC-DC converter designed to convert a +12 to +17V DC input to a regulated +48VDC output. It is primarily used for powering systems that require a regulated voltage of +48VDC, such as consumer appliances, telecommunications hardware, and industrial machinery.

The UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C relies on a switching converter topology to control the output voltage. This involves a combination of inductive and capacitive components placed on a printed circuit board. When powered on, the converter draws input power from the +12-17V DC supply. This voltage is then used to activate switches within the converter, which both reduce the voltage amplitude and step it up to a higher level. This step-up process is repeated multiple times until the desired output voltage is reached. The output voltage is then regulated by a feedback system, which samples the output voltage and adjusts the switches accordingly.

In addition to providing a regulated +48VDC output, the UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C also provides a high degree of protection from over-voltage and over-current issues. This is done through a range of safety features, such as current limiters, auto-restart circuitry, and thermal control. These features guard against damage to both the converter and any attached equipment. The UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C also provides a wide input voltage range of +12 to +17V DC, making it compatible with a wide range of power sources.

As a result of its features, the UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C is a popular choice of DC-DC converter for a wide range of applications. It can be found in consumer appliances, telecommunications equipment, industrial machinery, and other electronic systems that require a regulated +48VDC output. The UWQ-12/17-Q48PTB9-C is highly reliable and cost-effective, making it the go-to choice for many system designers.
