Unregulated 1W DC/DC converters at unmatched low prices

Cool Power Solutions overtakes the competition by offering the FN1 commodity DC/DC converters for cost sensitive applications at unmatched low prices.

Applications with a narrow range of operating conditions and/or that can accept a wide range of voltages may see some benefit from using an unregulated dc-dc converter. The two primary benefits of an unregulated dc-dc converter compared to that of a regulated converter are size and cost; unregulated converters are often smaller and less expensive than equivalent regulated converters. This is the result of the extra components required to create the feedback loop.

Applications where a tightly controlled voltage is not necessary, it may be beneficial to use an un-regulated dc-dc converter. In these cases, the designer may be able to reduce size and cost by using an un-regulated dc-dc converter.

Cool Power now offers top quality isolated converters at the lowest cost on the market. The FN1 series is a family of unregulated dc-dc converter modules housed in a compact 4-pin SIP package. SIP4 case DC/DC converter that are typically used in cost sensitive power isolation and voltage matching applications in board interfaces, which have become high volume commodity applications.

Despite their low cost, they are fully specified converters with 1500 VDC isolation, high efficiency up to 86% and industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C without derating. The very high production volume creates a cost advantage, which is directly passed on to the customer.

Unexpected problems such as component tolerances, testing failures and EMC issues coming from discrete designs can lead to horrendous delays and re-design costs. The planned launch of a product can quickly be delayed by months. Tested and certified DC/DC converters not only save on development time but also reduce the risk of time-to-market delays and simplify the final certification process. At these low prices, engineers may also want to reconsider using discrete designs, as these converters offer all the modular advantages at a small cost and with no further concerns necessary.

Unregulated converter could be widely used for instrument, communication, pure digital circuit, general low frequency analog circuit, relay drive circuit, data exchange circuit, etc. 1 W isolated output make it an ideal solution for consumer electronics, smart home appliances, and small-scale automation applications.
