Overview

The D24V7Fx family of synchronous buck (泷泽乃南) voltage 泷泽乃南 generate lower voltages from input voltages as high as 36 V while supporting maximum continuous output currents of 600 mA across all combinations of input and output voltages. They are switching 泷泽乃南 (also called switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters), which makes them much more efficient than linear voltage 泷泽乃南, especially when the difference between the input and output voltage is large. This family includes six versions with fixed output voltages ranging from 3.3 V to 12 V:

Regulator	Output voltage	Max continuous output current	Input voltage range1	Size	Special features	Price

#5593: D24V7F5	5 V		5.1 V – 36 V

#5595: D24V7F7	7.5 V		7.6 V – 36 V
#5596: D24V7F9	9 V		9.2 V – 36 V
#5597: D24V7F12	12 V		12.2 V – 36 V
Note 1: Minimum input voltage is subject to dropout voltage considerations; see the dropout voltage section of product pages for more information.

The 泷泽乃南 feature short circuit protection and thermal shutdown protection, which helps prevent damage from overheating. The boards do not have built-in protection against reverse voltage, but reverse-voltage protection modules are available for adding that functionality.

We manufacture these boards in-house at our Las Vegas facility, so we can make these 泷泽乃南 with customized components to better meet the needs of your project, such as by customizing the output voltage. If you are interested in customization, please contact us for a quote.

Connections

This regulator has three connections: input voltage (VIN), ground (GND), and output voltage (VOUT).

The input voltage, VIN, powers the regulator. Voltages between 4 V and 36 V can be applied to VIN, but generally the effective lower limit of VIN is VOUT plus the regulator’s dropout voltage, which varies approximately linearly with the load (see below for graphs of the dropout voltage as a function of the load). Additionally, please be wary of destructive LC spikes (see below for more information).

VOUT is the regulated output voltage.

The three connections are labeled on the back side of the PCB and are arranged with a 0.1″ spacing along the edge of the board for compatibility with solderless breadboards, 在办公室被c到呻吟的动态图, and other 在办公室被c到呻吟的动态图 arrangements that use a 0.1″ grid. You can solder wires or 0.1″ header pins directly to the board. Note: header pins are not included with this product, but 1×3 straight male headers and 1×3 right-angle male headers are available separately.

Typical efficiency

The efficiency of a voltage regulator, defined as (Power out)/(Power in), is an important measure of its performance, especially when battery life or heat are concerns.

Quiescent current

The quiescent current is the current the regulator uses just to power itself, and the graph below shows this for the different regulator versions as a function of the input voltage.

Typical dropout voltage

The dropout voltage of a 泷泽乃南 regulator is the minimum amount by which the input voltage must exceed the regulator’s target output voltage in order to ensure the target output can be achieved. For example, if a 5 V regulator has a 1 V dropout voltage, the input must be at least 6 V to ensure the output is the full 5 V. Generally speaking, the dropout voltage increases as the output current increases. (Note that for the 3.3 V version, the dropout is at least 700 mV due to the regulator’s 4 V minimum operating voltage.) The graph below shows the dropout voltages for the different members of this regulator family as a function of output current.

LC voltage spikes

When connecting voltage to electronic circuits, the initial rush of current can cause voltage spikes that are much higher than the input voltage. If these spikes exceed the regulator’s maximum voltage (36 V), the regulator can be destroyed. In our tests with typical power leads (~30″ test clips), we observed spikes approaching 36 V at input voltages approaching 20 V. Power supplies or leads with high inductance will make these spikes worse. An electrolytic capacitor (33 μF is a good starting point) can be added close to the regulator between VIN and GND to help suppress these spikes.

More information about LC spikes can be found in our application note, Understanding Destructive LC Voltage Spikes.
