Switching regulator series extended

The K78 1A series of non-isolated switching regulators from Mornsun is now available from PowerPax. This range complements the 500mA series and is suited to many applications, including industrial control systems, instrumentation, digital systems, electricity monitoring and control and battery powered systems.

The series is designed to handle higher currents and is provided in athree pin SIP package that is compatible with the standard linear LM78XX (TO-220 package) regulator. This range is efficient (up to 96%), small and does not require any form of heat sink. The no-load input current is typically 0.1mA.

These regulators accept inputs ranging from 6 to 36V DC, and deliver positive outputs ranging from 3.3 to 15V DC. They can be configured to provide negative voltage outputs. Output voltage accuracy is typically ±2% with line regulation of ±0.2%, load regulation of ±0.4% and ripple and noise of 20mV P-P at 20MHz bandwidth. The output transient recovery time is typically 0.1ms and the output features continuous short circuit protection with self-recovery.

They meet UL60950 and EN60950 safety requirements.
