GAPTEC Electronic launches its new, non-insulated 0.5A switching regulators with extended input voltage range (up to 4:1).
These drop-in switching regulators are size and pin- out compatible with the LM78 linear regulators. In contrast to the LM78, they do not require a heat sink and thus need less space on the PCB. The regulators can be switched for positive or negative output voltage, have a MTBF of > 2 million hours and offer extremely high efficiency up to 96%. Their operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. The LMS78 series offers great short circuit protection and low ripple and noise (typically 25mVp-p at 20MHz bandwidth). The no-load current is max. mA. The LMS78 switching regulators provide a great alternative to most standard switching regulators from other manufacturers. At an order quantity of 1000 units, the price per unit is € 1.95 plus VAT.
