RECOM Enters the World of Discrete Power

RECOM is rolling out a new range of rectifier ICs to allow customers to build their own discrete DC/DC isolated power supplies. The range includes a fully integrated full-bridge rectifier with smart output-voltage limiting that occupies less board space than 4 diodes, and a rectification controller IC for use with an external FET, suitable for either high-side or low-side rectification.

The RVS002 integrates two N-channel MOSFETs and two Schottky diodes in a DFN2*2 package to create a low-loss full bridge rectifier capable of handling up to 3W. A built-in intelligent voltage limiter prevents the output voltage prevents the output voltage from rising excessively under no load conditions, ensuring voltage stability. When the power supply is under load, the limiter remains inactive and does not draw current, thereby maintaining high efficiency.

The RVSY018 synchronous rectification controller operates at up to 700kHz, with an ultra-fast 30ns turn on and 10ns turn off characteristic, making it ideal for high-frequency power conversion applications. The rectification IC is self-powered from a single AC input allowing either high side or low side rectification. The controller supports both CCM and DCM operation and is compatible with both QR and active clamp flyback topologies.

Both rectifier solutions operate over a -40°C to +125°C temperature range, are reflow oven solderable and come with a 3-year warranty.

“For over 50 years, RECOM has been a technology leader in DC/DC modules, a position only maintained by a constant flow of new ideas and continual improvements in quality, reliability and performance. Now, for the first time, RECOM is offering you discrete IC solutions as well as complete DC/DC modules. There is no need for compromise any more. It is your choice!” comments Sven Krumpel, Project Manager IC & Solutions, RECOM.
