VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR

DC DC converters are used to convert direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another, without relying on an AC power source. Power electronics engineers often need to use DC DC converters to power a system or device with a voltage level different from that supplied by a battery or other DC source. The VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR is a particular example of a DC DC converter.

The VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR is a DC–DC buck converter, which is used to step-down (decrease) a DC source voltage down to a lower voltage level. It is suitable for applications including but not limited to industrial, medical, telecom, automotive, and consumer electronics. Specifically, its features make it well-suited for low-profile designs and power-sensitive applications that require high efficiency in limited spaces.

This converter has an input voltage range of 18V – 72V and offers adjustable output voltage of 3V to 28V. Its high power density allows it to provide up to 50W of power and is available in a range of packages to meet the needs of different designs. Furthermore, the low input to output voltage conversion ratio makes it possible for this converter to efficiently run at peak or near-peak load conditions.

The VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR works by utilizing an external MOSFET that connected to an external inductor. The source voltage is supplied to the VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR which then turns on the MOSFET, allowing current to flow through the inductor. The current through the inductor builds up a magnetic field which further increases its output voltage. The output voltage is then regulated via a feedback signal which controls the gate of the MOSFET. When the output voltage reach its setpoint the MOSFET turns off and the magnetic field passes the energy stored in the inductor to the output. The output voltage is then lowered back to its initial level and the cycle repeats at an adjustable switching frequency.

The VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR also features several protective and diagnostic functions to ensure reliable operation. This includes input undervoltage-lockout, adjustable peak current limit, adjustable soft start, output current limit, and output short-circuit protection. The built-in diagnostic functions monitor input voltage, output voltage, output current, and temperature. The IC can also provide an I2C digital interface to communicate with the system controller. All of these features help to provide a reliable and safe system operation.

In summary, the VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR DC DC buck converter is an ideal solution for applications needing low-profile designs and high efficiency. Its wide input voltage range, high power density, and low input to output voltage conversion ratio enable it to provide robust power performance for a variety of applications. Additionally, the several protection and diagnostic functions ensure system operation is reliable and safe. The VWRBT2-D24-S3.3-SMT-TR therefore offers another high-quality solution to the power electronics engineer when considering DC DC converters.
