RECOM Introduces New Switching Regulator Module
RECOM introduces its new R-78E low cost switching regulator module, which 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. According to the company, the R-78E offers a risk-free, pre-tested solution that makes designing a switching regulator circuit redundant.
The R-78E meets all of the most commonly requested specifications. The input voltage covers the 7 to 28Vdc range which allows operation from both an industrial 24V bus or from either a 9 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 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.
