DC/DC converter could reduce the cost?
The market supply all kinds of converter module, it looks almost no difference. But sometimes the price is quite low, causing not any advantages in the internal production. However, products difference exist only if in the usage process,on the other hand, On the other hand, fake and inferior products may be one reason for the high price.You will found on DC/DCconverter in any PCB, this kind of PCB is easy to find everywhere. And the various procedures to make the design become more and more simple.
As long as there is EMC related knowledge and experience, any manufacture can design their own converter, and become the feasibility of mass production solution. At present, designers are trying to avoid the simulation technology, and provide isolation converter, so that they need to use electromagnetic components, such as ferrite, transformer and choke, and present module would be a better solution. Especially the converters become more cost-effective in recently years.
To get products in a group manufacturers, often recognise different product color to distinguish them. Newers make the dc dc converters usually accoding to the market hot new type models and copy their PIN foot in feet, solder joint and technical parameters. Customer’s have to attention such cheating manners.Modular converter can be used directly, it provides reliable performance, and can speed up the development process, reduce the risk of redesign. Although the DC/DC convertercircuit is simple, but it’s display appears more and more critical, the layoutof the and would become the source of the EMC problem. That;s why the power modules cost looks a slight higher than before. "Time to market" is the key for the profit of many products.
Choose a modular converter is tobe able to save more time. Therefore, when choosing the right product, it’s advised to check the product performance in the processof production. If there is a "tubes and package", no need to take time to prepare for work. The weight difference plays an important role for embedding process, lighter components can be used in the automatic production more quickly and easily. Hence, it’s unsurprising that the manufacture alway put the SMD weight for first.
Use the finished module in material management also shows its advantage. DC/DC converter using component will not display in the bom, so you don't need to purchase some special components to reserve. Finished product modules and other components, can buy from dealers for once . Which also saves time, but also become the good performance for the power modules.
