Efficiency up to 97%, no need for heatsinks
Pin-out compatible with LM78XX linears
Very low profile
4.75V - 32V Wide input range
Short circuit protection, thermal shutdown
Low ripple and noise
IEC/EN60950-1 certified
DC/DC Converter
R-78-0.5
The R-78xx-Series high efficiency switching regulators are ideally suited to replace 78xx linear regul-
tors and are pin compatible. The efficiency of up to 97% means that very little energy is wasted as heat
so there is no need for any heat sinks with their additional space and mounting costs. Low ripple and
noise figures and short circuit, overload and over-temperature protection round off the specifications of
this versatile converter series. This R-78xx-0.5 is fully certified to EN55032 EMC Standard and for IEC/
EN-60950-1 + AM2 Safety.

Optional Diode Protection Circuit
Add a blocking diode to Vout if
current can flow backwards into
the output, as this can damage the
converter when it is powered down.
The diode can either be fitted
across the device if the source is
low impedance or fitted in series
with the output (recommended).
