Aimtec Adds DC- DC Switching Regulator Up To 12W

Aimtec announced an expansion of its switching regulator converter product line with the addition of the AMSR1-78-NZ series of non-isolated, dc-dc switching regulators.

Described as a feature rich, pin-to-pin replacement of 78xx linear regulators, the AMSR1-78-NZ step-down converters are said to provide highly regulated output voltages ranging from 3.3 to 12Vdc, producing maximum output currents of 1A at efficiency rates of up to 96% that remain virtually constant over the entire input range. Low output ripple and noise (60mV p-p) make these robust converters well suited for noise sensitive applications.

Wide input ranges (up to 6:1) extend from 4.75 – 32Vdc to 16 – 33Vdc, allowing them to be powered from unregulated sources. Designed in a SIP3 package (11.68 x 8.9 x 17.5mm), the series is pin compatible to the TO-220 package and makes these power supplies suitable for low profile circuit implementations such as portable power and standby-power applications. Versatile for a multitude of industrial applications, the AMSR1-78-NZ series is designed to operate at full output power without heat sinking or forced-air cooling below +85°C, described as a distinct advantage for all applications.

Useful features include continuous short circuit protection, output current limit and thermal shutdown. The AMSR1-78-NZ series of dc-dc switching regulator converters can operate continuously at full load without the need for load derating below +71°C, within an ambient temperature range of -40 to +85°C.

Pricing starts at $7.51 USD for 1000+ pieces.
