GAPTEC Introduced Switching Regulators with 96％ Efficiency

Published:2011/12/13 0:02:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

GAPTEC Electronic released a family of LMS78 non-insulated 0.5A switching regulators with an extended input voltage range (up to 4:1). These drop-in switching regulators are size and pin- out compatible with the company’s linear regulators. With no requirement of heat sink, they need less space on the PCB.

The regulators can be switched for positive or negative output voltage, have a MTBF of > 2 million hours and provide extremely high efficiency up to 96%. Their operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. Features include short-circuit protection as well as low ripple and noise (typically 25mVp-p at 20MHz bandwidth). The no-load current is max. 8mA.

The LMS78 switching regulators provide a great alternative to most standard switching regulators from other manufacturers. At an order quantity of 1000 units, the price per unit (through hole or SMT!) is € 1.95 plus VAT.

GAPTEC designs and manufactures an exclusive range of power supplies. This includes standard and custom converters for any kind of industrial controls and selected products for control technology in wind power and PV systems. The product portfolio includes voltage transformers for the power range with outputs between 1 and 40 watts.
