NON-ISOLATED DC/DC CONVERTERS
3.0 Vdc - 5.5 Vdc Input 1.2 Vdc - 3.3 Vdc / 6 A Output
• Non-Isolated • Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
• High Efficiency • OCP/SCP
• High Power Density • Remote On/Off
• Fixed Frequency (300 kHz) • Remote Sense
• Power Good Output Signal • Trim Function
• Can Sink & Source Current • Active High/Low (Options)
Description
The Bel xRPB-06Fxxx modules are a series of non-isolated high density open frame dc/dc converters that can
deliver up to 6 A of output current with full load efficiency of 94% at 3.3 Vdc output. Their open-frame
construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost and space-efficient solutions. Standard
features include remote On/Off, power good output signal, over current protection and short circuit protection.
