The Power Trends’ PT78ST200 is
a new 3-terminal Integrated Switching
Regulator (ISR) that can supply up to 24
watts of regulated 12V power. With a
surge capability of 3 Amps and an output voltage that is laser trimmed, it is
ideal for inductive load applications
such as disk drive motors.

Note 1: All data listed in the above graphs, except for derating data, has been developed from actual products tested at 25°C. This data is considered typical data for the ISR.
Note 2: Thermal derating graphs are developed in free air convection cooling of 40-60 LFM. (See Thermal Application Notes.)
