What is a switching regulator? |
Product Description
The DE-SWADJ is the adjustable version of our SW0XX step down
voltage regulators. It is designed to be the easiest possible way to
add an adjustable voltage source to a new or existing project with all
the efficiency benefits of switch-mode power. The DE-SWADJ is
pin-compatible with the common 78XX family of linear voltage
regulators, and has a small screw on top that allows you change the
output voltage as your project evolves. It has integrated decoupling
capacitors, so external capacitors are not generally necessary.
DE-SWADJ can deliver a maximum of 10 Watts.
The screw potentiometer on DE-SWADJ is worm-gear driven, so small vibrations and movement will not cause the voltage to shift. Use of glue to hold the screw in place is strongly discouraged and could damage the device.
