Information about DC-DC Converters

DC-DC converters accept DC input and provide regulated and/or isolated DC output in various applications including computer flash memory, telecommunications equipment, and process control systems. They are also used frequently on vehicle-mounted systems. Common converter styles include PCB mount, PC board, internal or open frame mount, rack mount, and DIN rail. Choices for nominal DC input for DC-DC converters include 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 110 VDC, 280 VDC, and 360 VDC.

Products & Services Related to DC-DC Converters

AC Power Sources

AC power sources provide alternating power and typically have adjustable output values for the testing of component response at various voltage, current and frequency levels.

AC-DC Adapters

AC-DC adapters accept AC input voltage directly from a wall outlet, and output DC voltage.

Current Sources

Current sources provide reliable current for electrical component testing and for powering specialized components.

High Voltage Power Supplies

High voltage power supplies use linear technology to provide one or more DC outputs at voltage levels of hundreds or thousands of volts.

Medical Power Supplies

Medical power supplies produce conditioned outputs for medical devices, instruments, and equipment.

Power Rectifiers

Power rectifiers are electrical devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). They are an integral part of telecom rectifiers for the telecommunications industry, and in battery chargers, DC power systems, and other power system devices.

Programmable Power Supplies

Programmable power supplies are digitally controlled power sources that provide accurate and adjustable levels of voltage, current, and frequency. They include a processor, voltage/current programming circuits, current shunt, and voltage/current read-back circuits.
