Compact dc/dc converter technology
One of the dc/dc converter modules at PCIM were the R1SX series from Recom, said to have a nearly 20% lower profile than that of the industry standard thanks to a special inverted transformer design. These 1-W dc/dc converters are available with 3.3 or 5-V inputs, offer a single unregulated 3.3 or 5-V output and can reach up to 78% efficiency. There is no minimum load required, and the quiescent consumption is less than 150 mW. The converters can drive up to a 2,200 µF capacitive load, said to be 40 times higher than that of competing units. The modules operate at a wide temperature range from -40° to +100°C.
