DC/DC Converters
TSR-1 Series, 1 A
The new TSR-1 series step-down switching regulators are drop-in replacement for
inefficient 78xx linear regulators. A high efficiency up to 96 % allows full load
operation up to +60 °C ambient temperature without the need of any heat-sink or
forced cooling.
The TSR-1 switching regulators provide other significant features over linear regulators, i.e. better output accuracy (±2 %), lower standby current of 2 mA and no
requirement of external capacitors. The high efficiency and low standby power
consumption makes these regulators an ideal solution for many battery powered
applications.
