Regulated 10W DC-DC converters offer wide input range

RECOM’s new RP10-A and RP10-AW series DC-DC converters target applications where wide input range and accurate regulation are key factors. Typical applications include battery-powered systems, instrumentation, or distributed power architectures in telecommunication or industrial electronics. The compact 1 x 1 inch modules with industry-standard footprint offer a wide 4:1 (RP10-AW: 9-36V and 18-75V) or 2:1 (RP10-A: 9-18V, 18-36V and 36-75V) input voltage range and are available with single (3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V) or dual outputs (±5V, ±12V, ±15V). They can be used in a wide operating temperature range of -40C up to +100C (derating starts at 78C depending on the model and cooling method) and offer an efficiency of 91%. The converters can be ordered with optional positive or negative control logic. Additional features include under-voltage lockout, short-circuit, over-current and over-temperature protection. The outputs can be trimmed by ±10% to perfectly fit the needs of the load. The modules have a built-in EMI filter to meet EN55022, class A. Class B can be achieved easily with a small capacitor (<10µF). The modules are UL60950-1 certified.
