A special highlight is the availability through setron of the TELEFUNKEN family of DC-DC synchronous buck regulators, TF6002X family, which allow a regulated power supply with very high efficiency. The product family includes devices such as the TF6001, TF6002 and TF6003, which can operate with input voltages from 4.5V to 26V and provide adjustable regulated current outputs of 1A, 2A and 3A. With efficiency of up to 93 percent, and low standby current, these products have been optimized for achieving improved overall efficiency and thus ensure compliance with climate protection requirements for end-use applications. The product family consists of TF600X current mode synchronous buck converters with a fixed frequency, utilizing an SOI-BCD process (“Silicon on Insulator") and providing industry-leading performance and durability with high reliability.
