DC/DC Converters

MagI3C Power Modules from Würth Elektronik, Waldenburg, Germany, are DC/DC converters with integrated controller IC, inductors, and capacitors. The board is based on the MagI3C VDRM (Variable Step Down Regulator Module) to which two additional control loops have been added. The reference design generates a constant voltage with an adjustable maximum current or maximum voltage. Output voltage can be set from 0 to 15 V and current from 0 to 2.5 A. LEDs indicate voltage regulation mode, current regulation mode, and a missing output voltage.
