Robust 12VDC
and 24VDC (8VDC to 28VDC) to 5V DC/DC converter |
|
|
5 volt DC/DC
converters with 8 to 28 VDC input |
|
|
|
These are regulated
switching power converters (switchmode), designed to allow the use of 5 volt
equipment in 12V or 24V vehicles. These 5V output converters have been designed
to be very rugged electrically and can be operated continuously at 75°C
(65°C for the 5A version). These are also known as 5 volt voltage
reducers, and voltage regulators. Custom output voltages are available from
3.3VDC to the input voltage minus 1.5 volts (10.5VDC for a 12 volt input, 22.5
for a 24 volt input)

Isolation |
Common ground, the negative

Protection
|
|
Overload
protection |
If there is a short
circuit connection or other overload connection is sensed, the unit will
automatically limit the output current and, depending on severity, will go into
a hiccup mode. See Note 2. |
|
Over temperature
protection |
If an extreme over
temperature condition occurs the unit will shut down until the temperature is
reduced. See Note 3. |
|
Reverse polarity
protection |
If an
in-line 4A fast acting fuse (5A for the 5A model) is connected as shown in
Figure 2, then the unit will be protected from reverse polarity connection.
If the fuse is used and there is a reverse polarity connection, the fuse
will blow and protect the unit from damage. See Note 4. |

Note 1: Extended operation at voltages
less than 8.0 VDC is not recommended although the unit will work at voltages
lower than this with reduced load regulation. With voltages lower than 7.0 VDC,
output voltage will drop out until the voltage is increased.
Note 2: If
an overload is sensed, the unit will automatically limit the output current and
reduce the output voltage. If the output voltage is excessively reduced to
limit current, the unit will go into a hiccup mode and wait until the overload
is removed to restore power. This dual-mode overload protection system allows
the unit to be protected from continuous short circuit connection and other
overload conditions.
Note 3: Extended operation at temperatures above
75C can damage the unit and will void the warranty.
Note 4: If the
in-line 4A fast-acting fuse is not connected as shown in Figure 2, a reverse
polarity connection can damage the unit and will void the
warranty.
