Description
The PSC and PSL Series positive switching regulators are
designed as power supplies for electronic systems, where no
input-to-output isolation is required. Their major advantages
include a high level of efficiency, high reliability, low output
ripple, and excellent dynamic response. Models with input
voltages up to 144 V are specially designed for secondary
switched and battery-driven mobile applications. The
converters are suitable for railway applications according to
EN 50155 and EN 50121.
Two type of housings are available allowing operation up to
71 °C. The PSC Series is designed for wall or chassis
mounting with faston connections, whereas the PSL Series is
designed for insertion into a 19" DIN-rack and exhibits a H11
connector.
Various options are available to adapt the converters to
different applications.
•
Input voltage up to 144 VDC
•
Single output of 3.3 to 48 VDC
•
No input-to-output isolation
•
High efficiency up to 97%
•

Positive Switching Regulators
Functional Description
The switching regulators are designed using the buck
converter topology. The input is not electrically isolated from
the output. During the on period of the switching transistor,
current is transferred to the output, and energy is stored in the
output choke. During the off period, this energy forces the
current to continue flowing through the output, to the load, and
back through the freewheeling diode. Regulation is ac-
complished by varying the duty cycle (on to off ratio) of the
power switch.The regulator is equipped with a undervoltage
lockout, but no overvoltage shutdown.
These regulators are ideal for a wide range of applications,
where input to output isolation is not necessary, or where
already provided by an external front end (e.g., a transformer
with rectifier). To optimize customer’s needs, additional options
and accessories are available.
