Switching regulator ICs offer good
efficiency but require a significant time investment in design, PCB layout and
component choice. The power supply is usually the last part in any new project
to be implemented and any delays can be very expensive.
RECOM’s brand new R-78E low cost switching
regulator module now offers all the advantages of a switching regulator (high
efficiency, wide input voltage range, accurate output voltage regulation) but
at a price level below $2 USD at quantities of 1000 pieces. The R-78E offers a
risk-free, pre-tested solution that makes designing your own switching
regulator circuit redundant.
The R-78E meets all of the most commonly
requested specifications yet makes no compromise when it comes to quality and
reliability as it comes with a full 3 year RECOM warranty. The input voltage covers
the 7VDC to 28VDC range which allows operation from both an industrial 24V bus
or from either a 9V or 12V battery. The converter is fully protected against
overload, short circuit and over-temperature conditions. Due to the R-78E’s
high efficiency of up to 92%, no heat-sink is required for operation over the
full industrial temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C (+70°C without derating). The compact SIP3 package,
TO-220 compatible, measures only 11.6 x 8.5 x 10.4mm, saving precious board
space.
This feature set makes the R-78E the most
economic choice today for many applications. The R-78E will save engineers
significant development time and keep their BOM under budget with this fully
functional, fully tested and fully protected power supply solution.
