The **AM3T-2409D-RVZ** is a high-performance DC-DC converter manufactured by Aimtec. It is designed to provide isolated power conversion in a compact DIP24 package, commonly used in industrial and telecommunications applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key electrical characteristics of the component: | Parameter | Value / Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Input Voltage Range** | 18 - 36 VDC (24V Nominal) | | **Output Voltage** | ± 9 VDC (Dual Output) | | **Output Current** | ± 167 mA | | **Isolation Voltage** | 1500 VDC (Standard) | | **Power Rating** | 3 Watts | | **Efficiency** | ~80% - 82% | | **Package Style** | DIP24 (Plastic or Nickel-coated Copper) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### 2. Functional Features The "RVZ" suffix indicates specific design enhancements within the AM3T series: * **2:1 Wide Input Range:** It can handle fluctuations in input voltage within a 2:1 ratio (e.g., 18V to 36V), making it resilient to battery discharge or unregulated power rails. * **Continuous Short Circuit Protection:** The device is protected against output faults, automatically recovering once the short is removed. * **Dual Output:** It provides both +9V and -9V rails relative to a common ground, which is essential for powering operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) and analog sensors. * **Remote On/Off Control:** (Depending on specific revision) Allows the system to shut down the converter to save power. --- ### 3. Pinout Configuration (Typical DIP24) Below is a simplified representation of the pin functionality: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2 & 3 | -V Input | Negative Supply Input | | 9 | Common | Output Common (Ground) | | 11 | -V Output | Negative 9V Output | | 14 | +V Output | Positive 9V Output | | 16 | Common | Output Common (Ground) | | 22 & 23 | +V Input | Positive Supply Input | --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Industrial Controls:** Powering PLC modules or 4-20mA current loops. * **Instrumentation:** Providing clean, isolated bipolar power for high-precision measurement circuits. * **Communication Equipment:** Isolated power for data transceivers to prevent ground loops.
