DESCRIPTION
The GS-R400 series is a versati le family of high
current, h igh vo lta ge step-down swi tchin g vo lta ge
regul ators.
The integral heatsink allows a large power handling
capability and it provides also an effective shielding
to minimize EMI.

Note: The line regulation is measured at I
The load regulation is measured at Vin=Vo+8V and I
For VO ≥ 36V and Io = 4A an external heatsink or forced ventilation are required.
