The RxxP21503D series provides asymmetrical output voltages of +15 and -3V, which are needed to efficiently switch second generation SiC MOSFETs. A typical DC/DC isolation voltage should normally be at least twice the working voltage, but the high ambient temperature and fast switching edges generated by these high-power transistors cause additional stress to the insulation barrier.
Therefore, the new series from RECOM come with 6.4kVDC isolation to ensure that the isolation barrier stands up to even the harshest tests. The internal transformer uses a pot-core to physically separate the input and output windings, yet the converter still fits into an industry standard SIP7 case.
These converters are available with input voltages of 12, 15 or 24V and come equipped with ultra-low parasitic capacitance (less than 10pF). They are EN-60950-1 certified and fully compliant to RoHS2 and REACH.
A SiC MOSFET’s high operating temperatures and high-frequency switching are tough on a power supply. RECOM therefore only uses high quality name-brand components and offers a three year warranty. Samples are available from all authorised distributors.
