The R-78HBxx/W-Series high efficiency, high input voltage switching regulators are ideally suited to
replace 78xx linear regulators. The efficiency of up to 93% 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. A wide
input voltage range allows the full stored energy utilization of standard 12, 24 and 36V batteries as
well as COB LED drivers. No external components are required to make a complete regulated, short-
circuit protected supply. A built-in protection diode allows high capacitive loads. Typical applications
include Auxiliary fan CV power supplies powered from CC LED drivers, industrial, aerospace and battery
powered applications.

can bypass this circuit and damage the converter.
Note3: Operation under no load will not damage the devices, however they may not meet all specifications.
A minimum load of 10mA is recommended.
