DC DC Converters
DC DC converters are used to convert a direct voltage (DC) signal to a different voltage level and, if necessary, a different current level. This conversion process can be used for many different applications ranging from automotive and consumer electronics to industrial automation and telecommunications.
VE-BTP-IV application field and working principle
The purpose of VE-BTP-IV converter is to provide a regulated, adjustable output voltage, in order to meet the varying demand of the application. It is designed for use in IT and Telecom, industrial, consumer and automotive applications where it is necessary to convert from a lower voltage (5 to 36V) to a higher voltage (up to 500V).
The VE-BTP-IV converter utilizes a buck-boost topology to achieve the voltage conversion. This topology allows the converter to regulate the output voltage to the desired level regardless of the input voltage level. It can support both step up and step down operations with input range of 5V to 36V. The converter use all N-type MOSFETs to ensure small number of passive components and low losses throughout the operating range. To reduce system cost, the VE-BTP-IV includes a built-in diode feature which eliminates the need for external diodes.
