New products: D24V7Fx 36V, 600mA low-cost step-down voltage regulators

|
We just released our D24V7Fx step-down voltage regulator family of basic buck regulators, which 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. Because they are switching regulators, they are much more efficient than linear voltage regulators, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #5592: D24V7F3 | 3.3 V | 600 mA | 4 V – 36 V | 0.34″ × 0.54″ | Short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown |
$2.75 |
| #5593: D24V7F5 | 5 V | 5.1 V – 36 V | ||||
| #5594: D24V7F6 | 6 V | 6.1 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. | ||||||
We manufacture these boards in-house at our Las Vegas facility, so if one of the stock voltages doesn’t fit your needs, we can customize these regulators to output other voltages. If you are interested in customization, please contact us for a quote.

The main distinguishing feature of this regulator is its small size and low cost. At just $2.75 in single-unit quantities, it is our lowest-price regulator yet! We were able to achieve this by having one of our high school summer interns do the board design:

I’m kidding about that making the price lower, of course. Our engineers still went over everything, and unlike some competing products you might encounter, we provide detailed performance data such as the quiescent current characteristics:

Also, each production unit is fully automatically optically inspected and tested. We have been putting a lot of effort into automating our testing and packaging, and that is the real key to being able to offer these low prices. More behind-the-scenes information on the robots making our products coming soon!
