S9V11E2x Step-up/Step-Down Voltage Regulators
![]() |
The S9V11E2x family of efficient switching regulators (also called switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters) use a buck-boost topology to convert both higher and lower input voltages to a regulated output voltage. They take input voltages from 2 V to 16 V and increase or decrease them as necessary, offering typical efficiencies of 85% to 95% and typical continuous output currents over 1.5 A for input voltages close to or greater than the output voltage. (Note: The minimum start-up voltage is 3 V, but the regulator will operate down to 2 V after startup.)

Note that the startup current is limited to approximately 700 mA until the output voltage reaches the nominal voltage; after startup, the available current is a function of the input voltage (see the product pages for more information). These regulators have short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown prevents damage from overheating. The boards do not have built-in protection against reverse voltage, but reverse-voltage protection modules are available for adding that functionality.
The flexibility in input voltage offered by this family of regulators is especially well-suited for battery-powered applications in which the battery voltage begins above the regulated voltage and drops below as the battery discharges. Without the typical restriction on the battery voltage staying above the required voltage throughout its life, new battery packs and form factors can be considered.
The different members of this family offer different output voltage options:

After startup, the actual achievable maximum continuous current is a function of input and output voltage and is limited by thermal dissipation.
