Switching regulators provide efficient power
CUI
1.5A V78XX switching regulator
CUI Inc has added a 1.5A model to its V78XX switching regulator series, which is designed to be a high-performance alternative to linear regulators.
With this latest addition, CUI offers 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2A switching regulators to meet a variety of power needs.
Unlike linear regulators, this series does not require a heat sink, making it ideal for applications where board space is at a premium and energy efficiency is a concern.
The V78XX-1500 series has efficiencies up to 95 per cent in a compact SIP package measuring 11.5 x 9 x 17.5mm.
Units are pin out compatible with industry-standard LM78XX linear regulators and come in straight and right-angle pin configurations.
This series has an input range of 4.75 to 18V DC and regulated output voltages of 2.5, 3.3, 5 and 6.5V DC.
The series' operating temperature range is -40 to 85C at 100 per cent load.
The non-isolated converters offer short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown, very low ripple and noise, and an MTBF of two million hours.
