- DC-DC converter printed circuit board and input power considerations
DC-DC converters are relatively easy to use and, with a few precautions, will provide years of reliable operation. Most manufacturers will have instruction or application notes on…
- How do I operate the GXE600 programmable power supplies in Constant Voltage / Constant Current mode?
The GXE600 series of single output 600W programmable power supplies can operate in the shaded area of the diagram below. As an example, consider a constant current…
- What is the internal voltage drop in DRM40 DIN rail redundancy modules?
The DRM40 series of 20-40A DIN rail redundancy power modules use MOSFETs to block reverse currents for a low 200mV voltage drop. With a 40A load, the…
- What external components are required with a DC-DC converter?
Using a standard off-the-shelf DC-DC converter reduces the time, risk and cost associated with developing a discrete version. There are usually, however, some additional external components required…
- What types of applications are most suited for isolated DC-DC converters?
Robots assemble the CC-E series of DC-DC converters Low power DC-DC converters offer a simple way of deriving multiple system voltages from a higher power AC-DC supply.…
- What are the key features of the EZA series of 2.5kW to 11kW isolated bi-directional DC-DC converters?
The EZA series of 2.5kW to 11kW isolated bi-directional DC-DC converters is designed for energy storage systems with rechargeable batteries. The compact 1U high power supply is…
- Can DRM40 DIN rail redundancy modules deliver peak power ratings?
Application story residual concrete cleaning from rigs Many industrial loads draw peak loads for short durations of time. This can occur when a DC motor is first…
- What are the key features of the GXE600 600W programmable power supplies?
The GXE600 series of single output 600W programmable power supplies has a nominal output of 24V or 48. The range has both medical (IEC 60601-1) and industrial…
- What types of applications are most suited for isolated DC-DC converters?
TDK-Lambda’s CC-E series benefits from robotic assembly. Low power DC-DC converters offer a simple way of deriving multiple system voltages from a higher power AC-DC supply. This…
