FP-DCC1 12 Vdc to 24 Vdc Converter

The FPDCC1 is the ideal choice in many applications where audio or video modules need to be powered from a 12 Vdc source. Groundreferenced RDL modules may be operated from one of the FPDCC1's two outputs. One is a high current output providing 400 mA @ 24 Vdc intended to power multiple modules (see RDL STPD5 Power Supply Distributor for multiple module installations) or RDL audio power amplifiers (such as STPA2 or STPA6). A second low noise output is heavily filtered and provides 50 mA @ 24 Vdc specifically to power microphone level high gain modules, such as microphone preamplifiers. Both outputs may be used simultaneously.

The FPDCC1 outputs are regulated to provide 24 Vdc for input voltages normally encountered in 12 Vdc battery circuits. If voltage in excess of 15 Vdc (possible if a vehicles regulator should fail) is connected to the FPDCC1 input, the module protects itself by shutting down its internal circuitry and illuminating the INPUT OVERVOLTAGE LED. The FPDCC1 input and outputs are protected against excessive currents and reverse voltages. The FPDCC1 is not intended to power floating (bipolar) modules.
