Overview

The TSR 0.5-2433SM is a high-efficiency switching regulator designed to serve as a pin-compatible, drop-in replacement for inefficient 78xx series linear regulators. This non-isolated DC/DC converter provides a stable 3.3V output at 500mA from a wide input range of 4.75V to 32V. Its surface-mount design and high efficiency of up to 91 percent eliminate the need for bulky heatsinks, saving significant board space in compact designs.

Why Choose This Part

The module features internal capacitors and continuous short-circuit protection, requiring no external components for standard operation. Its wide input range up to 32V and remote On/Off capability provide flexibility for power sequencing and energy management. By operating at high efficiency, it maintains a low thermal profile, which simplifies PCB layout and thermal management in dense SMD environments.

Applications

Point-of-Load Regulation
Providing local 3.3V power from higher voltage system rails in ITE and commercial electronics.
Battery-Powered Systems
Utilizing high efficiency and low standby current (35 uA) to extend the operational life of portable devices.
Industrial Control Logic
Replacing linear regulators in control boards to reduce thermal dissipation and improve overall system reliability.

Getting Started

Integrate the 10-SMD module using standard SMT reflow processes according to the recommended footprint. For custom output requirements, use the trim pin to adjust the output voltage within the 3.0V to 5.5V range. Ensure the remote On/Off pin is correctly biased if the standby mode is required for power savings.
