Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Input Voltage Range** | 18V to 36V DC (24V Nominal) | | **Output Voltage** | ±15V DC (Dual Output) | | **Output Current** | ±100 mA | | **Power Rating** | 3 Watts | | **Isolation Voltage** | 1500 VDC | | **Package Style** | DIP24 (Plastic Case) | | **Efficiency** | ~82% Typical | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### 2. Electronic Characteristics * **2:1 Wide Input Range:** This part is capable of handling fluctuations in input voltage within a 2:1 ratio (18-36V), making it resilient against power surges or battery discharge cycles. * **Dual Output:** It provides both positive and negative rails (+15V and -15V), which is essential for powering operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) and sensitive analog circuitry. * **Regulated Output:** Unlike unregulated converters, this part maintains a stable 15V output regardless of load changes (within its rated limits). * **Protection Features:** * **Short Circuit Protection:** Continuous, with auto-recovery. * **Filtering:** Built-in Pi-type filter to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (DIP24 Standard) While specific pinouts should always be verified via the Aimtec datasheet, the standard DIP24 DC-DC configuration typically follows this logic: ```text Pin 2, 3 : -V Input Pin 9 : Common (GND) Pin 11 : -V Output Pin 14 : +V Output Pin 16 : Common (GND) Pin 22, 23 : +V Input ``` --- ### 4. Common Applications 1. **Industrial Controls:** Powering sensors and actuators that require balanced voltages. 2. **Audio/Analog Circuits:** Providing clean, isolated power to dual-rail Op-Amps. 3. **Data Acquisition:** Eliminating ground loops between digital and analog sections of a PCB. 4. **Test Equipment:** Portable instrumentation where battery voltage varies.
