Function description
The UPS 20-960 is a high performance digitally controller DC-UPS that can be used in any DC system
with a rated voltage between 12 V and 48 V and up to 20 A.
At the core of the device a bidirectional DC/DC buck-boost converter (see Figure 4) acts as a battery
charger when the input supply is present. In case of a power outage (backup) the converter keeps the
output voltage regulated draining power from the battery. The converter is digitally controlled.
