Meets harsh environmental requirements for renewable energy RECOM’s RA3 series features 3-watt DC/DC converters which are especially designed to power transistor gate drivers. The modules are available with input voltages of 5, 12, or 24 VDC with single or dual asymmetric outputs to cover the latest Si, SiC, and GaN transistors on the market today.

DC/DC converters are often required to provide an isolated asymmetric supply for high-side gate drivers. The simplest (functional) isolation can withstand 1kVDC for one second. This sounds impressive; however this is often not sufficient. High side inverters are often floated a few hundred volts with an opto-isolated PWM control, so the gate drivers need

High slew-rate GaN transistors require an isolated 6V supply with high isolation voltage and low isolation capacitance. The RxxP06S and RP-xx06X series have been designed to fulfill this demanding requirement. The internal transformers in both series use a pot-core to physically separate the input and output windings, however the converters still fit into an

The RxxPxxyyD Series devices feature 6400 VDC isolation and <10 pF isolation capacitance and have been designed to fulfill the demanding requirements of high slew-rate SiC transistor drivers. These new DC/DC converters can be used with equal power (1W + 1W) or equal current (1.6W + 0.4W) driver applications, as the dual outputs feature
