Technical resources and application guides about high voltage DC-DC converters, isolated DC-DC power modules, wide input voltage solutions, and industrial applications including PV monitoring, BESS, automation, and custom power systems.
Thermal performance is often discussed in terms of temperature rise, cooling, or derating, but an important engineering question is sometimes overlooked: Where does the heat actually go? A high-voltage DC-DC converter generates heat at multiple points within the power-conversion stage.…
As high-voltage DC systems become more complex, engineers may need to power multiple loads, voltage domains, or functional subsystems from the same high-voltage source. A modular DC-DC converter architecture can provide a practical way to divide these power-conversion functions into…
Increasing switching frequency is one of the most effective ways to reduce the size of magnetic components in a DC-DC converter and increase power density. However, higher switching frequency does not automatically produce a better power converter. As switching frequency…
Selecting the correct power rating is one of the most important steps when choosing a high-voltage DC-DC converter for an industrial application. A converter that is too small may operate close to its limits, resulting in excessive thermal stress, reduced…
Introduction: AC-DC or DC-DC — Where Should the Power Conversion Start? Choosing between an AC-DC power module and a DC-DC power module should begin with one basic question: What is the available power source? If the system is supplied directly…
