NON-ISOLATED DC/DC CONVERTERS 2.4 Vdc - 5.5 Vdc Input VRBA-06F1Ax 0.75 Vdc - 3.63 Vdc/6 A Output RoHS Compliant Rev.A • Non-Isolated • Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) • High Efficiency • Wide Trim • High Power Density • OCP/SCP • Fixed Frequency (300 kHz) • Remote On/Off • Able to Sink & Source Current • Active Low/High (option) Description The Bel VRBA-06F1Ax modules are a series of non-isolated dc/dc converters that deliver up to 6 A of output current with full load efficiency of 93% 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). The open-frame construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost and space-efficient solutions. Standard features include remote On/Off, over current protection, short circuit protection, wide input, and programmable output voltage. Part Selection Output Voltage 1 0.75 V -3.63 V Input Voltage Max. Output Current Max. Output Power Typical Efficiency Model Number Active Low Model Number Active High 2.4 V - 5.5 V 6A 21.8 W 93% VRBA-06F1AL VRBA-06F1A0 Notes: 1. These modules use a buck topology, so the output voltages must be 0.5 V less than the input voltage. 2. Add “G” suffix at the end of the model number to indicate Tray Packaging. 3. All part numbers above indicate RoHS 6. Change the second letter "R" to "7" for RoHS 5 part numbers.
