78A05 SERIES 0.

5A Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter

 FEATURES  APPLICATIONS
 Single in line package  Voltage step down
 Wide input range up to 36V  Power supplies
 High efficiency up to 95%  Industrial PC
 Over temperature protection  Digital set-top boxes
 Over load protection  Data communications
 Support negative output  Microcontroller related applications
 Short circuit protection  Point of load regulator in distributed power
 Pin-out compatible with 78Mxx / 79Mxx system

 DESCRIPTION
78A05 series converters are high efficiency switching regulators can suit to replace 78Mxx / 79Mxx linear
regulators and its pin-out can be compatible with 78Mxx / 79Mxx IC. One of the key features is the model
can be chosen positive or negative output voltage according to the application. It also features high efficiency
up to 95% meant low power loss, wide working temperature range of -40oC up to +85oC with no additional heat
sink , com pliance with EN55032 radiated Class B without external com ponents, and so on.

Note: 1. Ci & Co are required and should be connected as close as possible to the module pins.
2. In order to further reduce the output ripple, Co can be added according to requirement and would be recommended to
use tantalum or low ESR electrolytic capacitors.
3. In using parallel application circuit, input voltage range should be taken notice of and a 10 µH LDM component is
recommended to reduce the interference.
