To meet tough requirements, RECOM introduces a 2 W DC/DC converter series specially designed to power the latest generation of SiC MOSFETs. The RxxP21503D series provides asymmetrical output voltages of +15 V and -3 V 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 6.4 kV_DC isolation to ensure that the isolation barrier stands up to even the harshest tests.

These converters are available with input voltages of 12 V, 15 V, or 24 V and come equipped with ultra-low parasitic capacitance (<10 pF). They are EN-60950-1 certified and fully compliant to RoHS 2 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 3-year warranty.
