A DC-DC power module is an important power converter that converts the input DC voltage to the desired stable DC voltage output

The following is a detailed introduction to DC-DC power modules and an overview of their application areas.
I. Introduction of DC-DC power supply module
1. Definition and characteristics DC-DC power supply module is a power supply that can be directly mounted on a printed circuit board with both step-down and step-up functions. Its features include small size, high reliability, high output voltage regulation accuracy (up to ±3%), high performance-price ratio, a variety of input and output voltage options, built-in input filters, and low EMC characteristics, etc.
2. Principle of operation DC-DC power supply module uses the idea of switching power supply to achieve voltage conversion. The input voltage is pulsed by periodically turning on and off the switching devices (e.g. MOSFET, IGBT, etc.). Filtering and rectification are performed using passive components such as inductors and capacitors to obtain the required stable output voltage. In the step-down process, the output voltage size can be changed by controlling the duty cycle to make the output constant.
3. Main Parameters Input Voltage Range: According to different products and application requirements, the input voltage range of DC-DC power supply modules varies, and the common input voltage ranges include 4.75VDC-5.25VDC, 11.40VDC Common input voltage ranges include 4.75VDC-5.25VDC, 11.40VDC, 12.60VDC, etc. Output Voltage Accuracy: Usually it can reach within ±3% of the nominal output voltage. Load effect and source effect: The stability of the output voltage is also required when the load changes and the input voltage changes. Ripple and noise: usually required below a certain value (such as ≤ 50mVpk-pk).
