DC-DC Converters
Experience the efficiency
RECOM offers non-isolated DC-DC converters with efficiencies exceeding 97% through to 20 kVDC isolated DC-DC converters, from sub-miniature SMD mount modules up to half-brick power converters and operating temperatures down to -40°C and up to +100°C, all with international safety certifications and detailed technical datasheets.
They can be used for many different reasons and provide, in a simple way, all different voltages used by electronic components in one single board. The isolation within the DC-DC converter allows the design engineer to comply with the safety regulations and solve issues such as interferences and failure protection. DC-DC converters also offer a flexible and clean solution to Distributed Power Architecture systems.
The function of a DC-DC converter module is to meet at least one of the following requirements:
- to match the secondary load to the primary power supply
- to provide isolation between primary and secondary circuits
- to provide protection against the effects of faults, short circuit or overheating
- to simplify compliance with safety, performance or EMC legislation.
DC-DC converters are known to step down the voltage from a higher voltage source. However, they can also be used for the opposite reason: to step up the voltage from a low voltage.
They are known to isolate a primary circuit from a secondary circuit and are also used in distributed power architecture systems for many reasons including: efficiency and reliability compared to central multiple outputs supply, as well as flexibility and cost.
