RECOM among the top 3 again

Once again this year, RECOM took part in the "Products of the Year" competition of the professional magazine "Elektronik" in the Power category. With its high isolation class (5kVAC / 1minute) and excellent power density in a genuine SMT IC package, the 0.5 Watts DC/DC converter design demonstrates true magnitude, despite its tiny dimensions. The converter has a nominal 5V input (4.5 to 5.5V) and a fully regulated, low-noise output. It can be set up to 3.3 or 5VDC via a resistor when connected directly to the load, or alternatively to 3.7 or 5.4VDC to supply a downstream LDO regulator for low-noise applications. The high degree of insulation and good thermal behaviour thus also enable classification according to IEC62368-1 and IEC60601-1 for medical applications at altitudes of up to 5000 metres. Full output power is available from -40°C to 55°C, with convection cooling only, and with only 20% derating at 110°C. Its maximum ambient temperature is 140°C. With this model, RECOM sets new price standards in the field of power conversion.

Matthew Dauterive, DC/DC Product Manager at RECOM, personally accepted the award: "This award is a special honour for RECOM and motivates us to further expand our path as a provider of medically certified power supplies. Thank you to the ‘Elektronik’ readers."
