Efficient 1.5 A Switching Regulator

The 1.5 A model has been added to the V78XX switching regulator series. The compact V78XX-1500 series has been designed to be an alternative to linear regulators. Unlike linear regulators, this series does not require a heat sink. Efficiencies are up to 95% in a compact SIP package measuring 11.50 x 9.00 x 17.50 mm. Units are pin out compatible with industry standard LM78XX linear regulators and come in both straight and right angle pin configurations. This series has a wide input range available from 4.75 to 18 Vdc and regulated output voltages of 2.5, 3.3, 5, and 6.5 Vdc. Operating temperature range of -40 to +85° C at 100% load.
