Half-brick 3 kW buck-boost converter has 98% efficiency

05 December 2019

Recom has launched a 3 kW buck-boost high-efficiency DC/DC converter in a half-brick baseplate-cooled package.

The Recom RBBA3000 buck-boost, non-isolated, DC/DC converter features a maximum of 3 kW of output power Source: RecomSource: Recomrating in an industry-standard half brick baseplate-cooled package. Input range is 9 to 60 V DC and the output voltage and maximum current can be user-programmed from 0 to 60 V DC and 0 to 50 A, respectively. Programming can be via a single resistor or by an externally applied voltage. The buck-boost topology utilized allows the output voltage to be set lower or higher than the input voltage.

With its excellent 98% conversion efficiency, the RBBA3000 provides a full power over an operating temperature of -40° C up to 85° C when appropriately cooled. The load current can be monitored from a current share pin that can also be used to parallel two modules to provide up to 100 A output with active load balancing. The converter complies with EMC standard EN55024 and also EN 55032 class A and B with an external filter. Typical applications for the product are 48 V to 24 V or 12 V to 24 V battery power conversion, electric vehicle voltage regulators, battery voltage stabilizers or high power laboratory DC power supplies.

Samples and OEM pricing are available from all authorized distributors or directly from Recom.
