Non-Isolated DC/DC Converter (POL)

- Non-isolated converter for negative output
- Small size and low profile
- Pin compatible with LM79xx linear regulators
- No heatsink required
The new TSN 1 series step-down switching regulators are drop-in replacement
- High efficiency up to 96%
for inefficient LM79xx linear regulators. A high efficiency up to 96 % allows full load operation up to +70°C (+85°C with derating) ambient temperature with-
- Operation temp. range –40°C to +85°C
out the need of any heat-sink or forced air cooling. The TSN 1 switching regula-
- Protection against overload, short
tors provide other significant features over linear regulators, i.e. better output
circuit and over-temperature
accuracy (±2 %), lower standby current of ~2 mA and no requirement of external capacitors. They are suitable for negative output circuits. The high efficiency
- Fixed switching frequency
and low standby power consumption make these regulators an ideal solution
- Wide input range up to –32 VDC
for energy sensitive applications.
- Excellent line / load regulation
