Super-compact isolated 10W DC-DC converters are fully shielded

Two new highly-compact isolated RECOM DC-DC converters are now available from Dengrove Electronic Components. They deliver up to 10W from a 1 x 1-inch footprint, aiding the drive to save board space in equipment such as distributed power architectures, industrial controls and telecommunication equipment. The RP10-A and RP10-AW are fully specified, with built-in class-B EMC filters, short-circuit, over-current and over-voltage protection, and under-voltage lockout. No additional external components are required, which not only minimises solution size but also simplifies design and enhances reliability. Six-sided continuous shielding maximises blocking of radiated noise thereby ensuring coexistence with external noise sources or sensitive equipment. With nominal input voltages of 12V, 24V or 48V, the RP10-A and RP10-AW allow an input-voltage ratio of 2:1 and 4:1 respectively thereby giving a wide safety margin to handle large supply fluctuations. Single-output models have standard voltages from 3.3V to 24V, while complementary outputs range from ±5V to ±15V. The voltage can be trimmed over a range of ±10%, and low ripple and noise ensures the stability of powered equipment. The converters have typical efficiency of up to 91%, and no minimum load is required. All units have 1.6kV isolation giving enhanced safety and are UL 60950-1 certified, says the company.
