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.
