TDK Launches Non-Isolated Buck DC-DC Converters for Automated Guided Vehicles
TDK-Lambda Unveils High-Power RGB Series: Ruggedized DC-DC Converters for Demanding Applications
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of TDK-Lambda's innovative power conversion solutions, is excited to announce the release of the RGB series of non-isolated DC-DC converters. These robust converters deliver exceptional performance and reliability, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in harsh environments.
Built for Performance and Efficiency in Demanding Environments
The RGB series caters to the power conversion needs of diverse industrial and medical applications:
- High Power Handling: Available in power ratings from 400 W to 750 W, the RGB series offers ample power for even the most demanding tasks.
- Wide Input and Output Voltage Ranges: The converters operate with input voltages of 9 to 18 V, 18 to 32 V, or 18 to 60 V, while offering adjustable output voltages from 0.8 to 8 V or 3.3 to 24 V. This versatility simplifies system design and integration.
- Superior Efficiency: Boasting efficiencies of up to 98.5%, the RGB series minimizes wasted power generation, leading to cooler operation, extended battery life in portable equipment, and lower energy consumption costs.
Rugged Construction for Reliable Operation
The RGB series is built to withstand challenging environments:
- Ruggedized Design: Encapsulated to meet MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration standards, these converters can operate reliably in applications exposed to physical stress.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functioning flawlessly within a temperature range of -40°C to +115°C, the RGB series is suitable for extreme temperature conditions.
- Fanless Operation: The five-sided aluminum case effectively dissipates heat, allowing for fanless operation in systems requiring silent operation or where space constraints limit fan integration. Additionally, the aluminum construction reduces radiated EMI emissions.
Additional Features for Enhanced System Control and Protection
The RGB series incorporates features that ensure system stability and protect critical components:
- 1/16th Brick Pinout: This industry-standard footprint simplifies integration into existing designs.
- Adjustable Current Limit (Optional): This feature helps to manage inrush currents and protect the converter, input source, and load during overload conditions (available as an option).
- Comprehensive Protections: The basic models include protection against input under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions. They also offer remote on/off control, remote sense capability, and an output voltage adjustment pin for precise voltage regulation.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance
The RGB series adheres to stringent safety and regulatory standards:
- Safety Certifications: All models carry the CE and UKCA marks for the Low Voltage and RoHS Directives, and are designed to meet IEC/UL/CSA/EN 62368-1 safety standards.
Ideal Applications for Diverse Industries
The versatility of the RGB series makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Medical equipment
- Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
- Industrial mobile robots (IMRs)
- Drones
- Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment
- Industrial automation systems
- Test and measurement equipment
- Battery-powered devices
By incorporating the TDK-Lambda RGB series DC-DC converters into your designs, you can achieve superior power conversion efficiency, exceptional reliability, and robust operation in demanding environments.
