RECOM Lighting RBD-12 series buck/boost LED driver

RECOM Lighting’s buck/boost LED driver can deliver high voltages (up to 40 V) from a low voltage source (as low as 8 V), simplifying the lighting system with the use of a single driver and a long single string of LEDs.

The RBD-12 series supplies LEDs from 3 to 20 W with input voltages from 8 to 36 V providing constant currents of 350 or 500 mA. The output voltage can be above or below the supply voltage by 500 or 350 mA, within the range of 2 to 40 VDC.

The buck/boost models are digital (PWM + remote on/off) and analog dimmable and cover the temperature range -40°C to +75°C. The devices are 32.6 x 16.6 x 11.1 mm and weigh 13 g. Depending on the application, the drivers can be supplied with wires or with standard pins for PCB mounting.

The buck/boost drivers are suitable for mobile, solar and battery driven LED systems for transport and traffic applications (ie, mobile homes, electric cars, street lighting, traffic signs, etc.) as well as for use in marine and air traffic lighting - wherever universal, long-life LED supplies are essential. They comply with all relevant safety standards, such as EN/UL60950-1.
