NON-ISOLATED DC/DC CONVERTERS 2.4 Vdc - 5.5 Vdc Input 0.75 Vdc - 3.63 Vdc/10 A Output Bel Power Inc., a subsidiary of Bel Fuse Inc. Mar. 19, 2010 VRBC-10F2Ax RoHS Compliant Rev.B • Non-Isolated • Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) • High Efficiency • Wide Input Range • High Power Density • Wide Trim Range • Fixed Frequency (300kHz) • Remote On/Off • OCP/SCP • Remote Sense • Flexible Output Voltage Sequencing • Converter Can Sink and Source Current • Over Temperature Protection • UL60950-1 Recognized (UL/cUL) Description The Bel VRBC-10F2Ax modules are a series of non-isolated dc/dc converters that deliver up to 10 A of output current with full load efficiency of 94% at 3.3 Vdc output. These modules provide precisely regulated voltage programmable via external resistor from 0.75 Vdc to 3.63 Vdc over a wide range of input voltage (2.4 Vdc - 5.5 Vdc). These modules have a sequencing feature that enables designers to implement various types of output voltage sequencing when powering multiple voltages on a board. The open-frame construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost and space-efficient solutions. Standard features include remote On/Off, remote sense, over current protection, short current protection, wide input, and programmable output voltage.
