5-W ac/dc modules handle wide mains voltages up to 480 Vac
RECOM has announced the global release of its exclusive 5W AC/DC converter, the RAC05-K/480 series, which accepts input voltages of up to 480VAC. They are also OVCIII rated with a 6kV surge protection, and operate reliably at industrial temperature ranges. This series is ideally suited for housekeeping operations in Industry 4.0, IoT and smart process […]
Isolated 1-W DC/DC converters handle fast-switching GaN drivers
Rutronik Inc. has announced that Recom, a leading, innovative manufacturer of DC-DC and AC-DC converters, switching regulators, and LED drivers, has released 1-W DC/DC converters, the RP-xx06S Series, to power the latest GaN (gallium nitride) drivers. The converters meet the demanding requirements of GaN drivers with a 5200VDC isolation and a low isolation capacitance of less than 10pF. “GaN-FETs […]
1W DC/DC, low-profile converters feature unique inverter transformer design
RECOM Power’s new R1SX series are an open-frame SMD converters leveraging on the fully automated manufacturing techniques to deliver stable performance and consistent high-quality at a very competitive price. The modules are available with 3.3V or 5V inputs, offer a single unregulated 3.3V or 5V output and can reach up to 78% efficiency. There is no minimum […]
Efficiency in power conversion circuits
by Steve Roberts, Recom A quick review shows the sources of inefficiencies in both linear and switching power supplies. Most engineers know that one reason switch-mode power supplies have become widely used is their high energy efficiency. But many engineers don’t know power supply technology well enough to explain the sources of switch-mode efficiency and […]
