DC-DC Converters
When do you need it?
DC-DC converters are utilized to transform a DC power source from one voltage level to another (or multiple voltage levels). For instance, the battery in a machine or vehicle might operate at 24V, whereas the system within that machine requires 12V. In such cases, a direct voltage conversion from 24V to 12V is necessary. This is the fundamental purpose of DC-DC converters - to provide the required voltage level.
DC-DC Converter with IP67
Does your application require robustness?
DC-DC converters with an IP67 rating should be chosen when machines or vehicles operate in extreme environments or under harsh conditions. In most cases, however, DC-DC converters with an IP21 rating are adequate and more cost-effective. We recommend consulting with a DC-DC converter expert to select the most optimal solution for your specific needs.
As an example, Micropower has supplied DC-DC converters with an IP67 rating to customers in various industrial sectors. These vehicles and machines operate in challenging environments, necessitating converters that are waterproof and capable of withstanding harsh conditions, including exposure to water and heavy vibrations. In such scenarios, a DC-DC converter with an IP67 rating is the ideal choice.
DC-DC Converters Efficiency Rate
Why efficiency matters
A DC-DC converter significantly influences the overall efficiency of a system. A highly efficient converter facilitates system cost savings, which should be factored into the total cost estimation. For example, a 5% improvement in efficiency for a 500W converter can result in overall system savings of 20-25% of the DC-DC converter’s cost.
Other critical considerations include the impact of temperature on component longevity. For every 10°C increase in temperature, the lifespan of the converter decreases by 50%. Additionally, a 4% efficiency gap can lead to a twofold increase in temperature rise.
