The new GS-R12 and GS-R24 DC-DC converter modules provide a wide range of non-isolated 2 Amp current standard solutions for power systems. The products are grouped into two families depending on the input VDC value, namely the GS-R12 for 12 VDC input and GS-R24 for 24 VDC input.
Both families provide solutions for THT and SMT board assembly technologies. The SMT solutions are available with 2 different aspect ratio footprints.
GS-R12/24 Modules
Each solution is identified by the specific part number, and datasheets provide system designers with all the necessary data, including electrical characteristics, mechanical data, footprints and pin layouts.
GS-R12 and GS-R24 DC-DC converters share a number of key features and provide a solution for 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 and 5.0 output voltages. Each product amily also includes a flexible programmable solution so that designers can select the output voltage value just by connecting a resistor between two pins.

Cost Effective, High Volume Solutions


No heatsinks are required for any of these modules, and thanks to advanced silicon technology and to the relatively high switching frequency adopted these DC-DC converter modules present cost effective open-frame solutions suitable for high volume applications.
Thanks to their ease of use and repeatable design this portfolio of DC-DC converters is tailored for distributed power supply architectures.
Their compact size and state-of-the-art performance make them attractive for numerous applications ranging from gateways and routers to set-top boxes in the consumer market.
