Applications most suited for isolated DC-DC converters

摘要

Low-power DC-DC converters offer a simple way to derive multiple system voltages from a higher-power AC-DC supply, a technique commonly known as a "distributed power architecture", or DPA. Often, that larger wattage supply is providing 24V to drive motors, pumps or other electrical equipment, whereas controllers, logic circuits and other electronic devices require 3.3V, 5V, 12V or 15V for their operation.
