Summary
The PSL series of positive switching regulators is designed
as power supply modules for electronic systems. Their ma-
jor advantages include a high level of efficiency that re-
mains virtually constant over the entire input voltage range,
high reliability, low ripple and excellent dynamic response.
Modules with input voltages up to 144 V are specially de-
signed for battery driven mobile applications. The case de-
sign allows operation at nominal load up to 71°C without
additional cooling.
The modules are fitted with an H11 connector and may ei-
ther be plugged into 19" rack system according to DIN
41494, or be chassis mounted.

Positive Switching Regulators (Rugged)
Functional Description
The switching regulators are designed using the buck con-
verter topology. See also:
Technical Information: Topolo-
gies.
The input is not electrically isolated from the output.
During the on period of the switching transistor, current is
transferred to the output and energy is stored in the output
choke. During the off period, this energy forces the current
to continue flowing through the output, to the load and back
through the freewheeling diode. Regulation is accom-
plished by varying the on to off duty ratio of the power
switch.
These regulators are ideal for a wide range of applications,
where input to output isolation is not necessary, or where
already provided by an external front end (e.g. a trans-
former with rectifier). To optimise customer’s needs, addi-
tional options and accessories are available.
