Aimtec Introduces DC-DC Switching Regulator with Wide Inputs, Output Current of 1.5 & 2A
Aimtec expands its line of dc-dc switching regulators with the launch of two new series: AMSR1.5-78-NZ and AMSR2-78-NZ (AMSRx-78-NZ).
Feature rich and pin-to-pin replacements of 78xx linear regulators, the AMSRx-78-NZ switching regulators provide highly regulated (±1%) output voltages ranging as low as 2.5 up to 6Vdc. Maximum output currents of 1.5 or 2A are produced at efficiency rates of up to 93% that remain virtually constant over the entire input range. Low output ripple and noise (45mV p-p) make these robust converters ideal for noise sensitive applications.
Wide input ranges extend from 4.75-18 to 8-18Vdc for deferent models allowing these highly reliable products to be powered from unregulated sources.
Designed in a light weight (4g), SIP3 package (11.50 x 8.90 x 17.50mm), the AMSRx-78-NZ series are pin compatible to the TO-220 package and well suited for space critical configurations such as portable power and standby-power applications.
Other important and useful features include continuous short circuit protection, output current limiting and thermal shutdown. Aimtec’s dc-dc switching regulator converters operate continuously at full load without derating below +71° C, within an ambient temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
The AMSRx-78-NZ series are priced at $6.82 (1000+ pieces) with samples available from stock.
