MagI3C 173950378 Buck Regulator Module
Overview
The 173950378 is a SIP-3 packaged DC-DC converter module designed to serve as a high-efficiency drop-in replacement for standard 78xx series linear regulators. It accepts an input voltage from 6V to 28V and provides a fixed 3.3V output at up to 500mA. The module integrates the controller, inductor, and input/output capacitors into a single through-hole package to minimize PCB footprint and design complexity.
Why Choose This Part
This module eliminates the need for bulky heatsinks by utilizing a switching topology that maintains high efficiency even at high input-to-output voltage differentials. It features a fixed 570kHz switching frequency and pulse skipping technology to ensure efficiency at light loads while protecting the system with overvoltage, overtemperature, and short-circuit safeguards.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Installation is straightforward as a 3-pin SIP package with a 5.08mm pitch, matching the footprint of a TO-220 linear regulator. Ensure that the input and output traces are kept short to maintain low EMI, and verify that the input voltage remains within the 6V to 28V range for stable 3.3V regulation.
