Recom Power Launches New DC-DC Converters for Energizing High Side Gate Drives
RECOM Power, renowned for its expertise in AC/DC electronic power supplies and DC/DC converters, recently unveiled its latest innovation: the R24C2T25 DC/DC converter. With a portfolio that encompasses over 30,000 compact power solutions catering to a myriad of applications, RECOM Power has been a pioneer in AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, switching regulators, and LED drivers, coupled with comprehensive customer support worldwide.
Thanks to the diligent distribution efforts of BonChip Electronics, engineers and purchasers can eagerly anticipate the seamless acquisition of RECOM Power's products, including the newest R24C2T25 series. BonChip Electronics, as an acclaimed distributor of RECOM Power, will provide access to products, pricing, stock availability, and a datasheet PDF download tailored for electronic professionals.
The R24C2T25 series, a testament to RECOM Power's specialized capabilities, emerges as a groundbreaking solution specifically designed to power IGBT, Si, SiC, and GaN cascode gate drives. The series exemplifies electrical ingenuity, offering regulated asymmetric outputs encapsulated within a diminutive 7.5 x 12.83mm 36-pin SSOP package—a perfect blend of form and function in surface-mount technology (SMT).
This advanced converter allows customization through programmable dual asymmetric output voltages via external resistor networks, striking a balance between utility and precision. Engineers can fine-tune its output from +2.5 to +22.5VDC and a symmetrical -2.5 to -22.5VDC, resulting in an 18 to 25VDC range. This flexibility enables users to achieve optimal configurations for efficient gate driving, like the +15/-3V setting ideal for SiC applications.
Crucial to the integrity of your projects, the R24C2T25 maintains voltage stability within a tight +/-1.5% range, acting as a bulwark against over-voltage and ensuing damage to critical components. Delivering 2W power up to an 82°C ambient temperature and an enhanced 2.5W up to 75°C, the converter demonstrates exceptional thermal perfomance, with a power derating that endures up to the package's upper limit of 125°C.
The R24C2T25's design incorporates multiple advanced safeguards such as soft start, input under-voltage and over-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown, output over-power protection, and output over-voltage and under-voltage lockouts. These features collectively ensure the converter's resilience and reliability, while meticulously protecting against any inappropriate gate voltages.
A standout feature of the R24C2T25 is its impeccable capacity to power high-side gate drives that operate with swift dV/dt and dI/dt power switch edge rates. The converter's specifications—3kVAC/1min isolation, ultra-low coupling capacitance of 3.5pF, and a common mode transient immunity of +/-150V/ns—make it an unparalleled choice for those seeking precision and dependability in power electronics.
Lastly, the integration of ON/OFF control adds an environmentally conscious element, permitting the device to enter a standby mode with a minimal current draw of less than 700µA, which optimizes power management while aiding in energy conservation. With RECOM Power and BonChip Electronics at the helm, the R24C2T25 DC/DC converter represents a leap forward for electronic system efficiency and sophistication.
