Overview

The TSR 1-2450 is a non-isolated DC/DC step-down switching regulator designed to be a pin-compatible drop-in replacement for standard LM7805 linear regulators. It provides a fixed 5V output at up to 1A from an input voltage range of 6.5V to 36V. Unlike linear regulators, this switching converter operates with very high efficiency, eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink even at high input-to-output voltage differentials.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator offers up to 96 percent efficiency, which removes the thermal management overhead associated with traditional TO-220 linear regulators. It features integrated filter capacitors for low output ripple and includes built-in short circuit protection. The low standby current of only 2mA makes it suitable for applications requiring high efficiency during idle periods.

Applications

Linear Regulator Retrofitting
Upgrading existing 7805-based circuits to reduce heat dissipation and improve system efficiency without PCB layout changes.
Industrial Logic Power
Regulating 24V DC industrial rails down to 5V for microcontrollers, sensors, and logic gates.
Battery Powered Systems
Extending battery life in portable devices by minimizing the energy wasted as heat during voltage conversion.
Point of Load Regulation
Providing stable 5V power locally on a distributed power bus with minimal board space requirements.

Getting Started

Integration is straightforward as the SIP3 package follows the standard Gnd-Vout-Vin pinout of a 78xx regulator. For optimal performance, place the unit close to the load and ensure that the input voltage remains within the 6.5V to 36V range. No external capacitors are strictly required for operation, though adding an external input capacitor can help mitigate source impedance effects in some layouts.
