• Compact form factor
• 200kHz operating frequency
• High efficiency
• Soft-start
• Short-circuit protectionY
• Remote On/Off control

Working Principle

At its core, the VE-240-EY is a switch mode power supply. This means that it works by switching a transistor on and off at a high frequency. This switching action is controlled by an integrated circuit that regulates the output voltage. The series features a wide input voltage range and can withstand a wide range of input voltages.

The power supply is designed to operate at 200kHz with a minimum 90% efficiency. The high frequency operation is made possible by the integration of a low gate charge MOSFET which reduces switching losses. It also features a soft start function that gradually ramps up the output over a specific period of time. It also features remote on/off control, short-circuit protection, and several safety features.
