Information about the MEAN WELL SPOL-12N
The MEAN WELL SPOL-12N is an ultra-compact, non-isolated, and programmable 12 Ampere Point-of-Load (POL) DC-DC converter housed in a low-profile LGA SMD package. Operating over a wide input voltage range of 3 to 14.4 VDC, it allows precise output voltage tuning from 0.6 to 5.5 VDC using an external trim resistor. The suffix "N" specifies the version with negative logic remote ON/OFF control.
Featuring high efficiency up to 91% and an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +90°C, the SPOL-12N provides excellent power density and thermal performance for space-constrained designs. It comes equipped with advanced control features including a Power Good (P.G) monitoring output, Output Voltage Sequencing (SEQ) for multi-rail power tracking, and a SYNC pin for external clock frequency synchronization.
Built-in protections such as continuous short-circuit protection with automatic recovery ensure reliable system operation. The MEAN WELL SPOL-12N is an ideal power solution for distributed power architectures, industrial PCs, telecommunications and datacom equipment, FPGAs, server systems, and battery management systems (BMS).
