The **AM3T-2407D-RVZ** is a high-performance DC-DC converter manufactured by Aimtec. It belongs to the AM3T series, which is known for its compact DIP24 package and regulated dual output. --- ### ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electrical characteristics of the AM3T-2407D-RVZ: | Parameter | Value | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Input Voltage Range** | 18 - 36 VDC | 2:1 Wide Input Range | | **Output Voltage** | ±7.2 VDC | Dual Output | | **Output Current** | ±200 mA | Max current per rail | | **Isolation Voltage** | 1500 VDC | Input to Output | | **Power Rating** | 3 Watts | Total output power | | **Efficiency** | ~78% - 82% | Depending on load | | **Package** | DIP24 | Nickel-coated Copper | --- ### ## Key Electronic Components & Features The internal architecture and external features of this part include several critical electronic subsystems: ### 1. Galvanic Isolation The device provides **1500 VDC isolation**. This is achieved using an internal transformer that physically separates the input circuit from the output circuit, preventing noise transfer and protecting sensitive downstream components from high-voltage surges. ### 2. Voltage Regulation The "RVZ" suffix indicates specific regulation and protection features: * **Regulated Output:** Unlike unregulated converters, this part maintains a stable ±7.2V even if the input voltage fluctuates between 18V and 36V. * **Short Circuit Protection:** It includes continuous short-circuit protection with auto-recovery, preventing the internal components from burning out during a fault. ### 3. Filtering and EMI Control The part features an internal input filter. However, for applications requiring strict compliance (like EN55022 Class A), external capacitors and inductors are typically recommended. --- ### ## Pinout Configuration (DIP24) | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2, 3 | -Vin | Negative Input | | 9 | Common | Common Ground for Dual Output | | 11 | -Vout | Negative 7.2V Output | | 14 | +Vout | Positive 7.2V Output | | 16 | Common | Common Ground | | 22, 23 | +Vin | Positive Input | --- ### ## Application Use Cases * **Industrial Controls:** Used to power dual-rail Op-Amps in sensor interfaces. * **Data Acquisition:** Provides clean, isolated power to analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). * **Telecommunications:** Distributed power architectures requiring intermediate voltage conversion.
