Overview

The TSR 2-24120 is a high-efficiency switching regulator designed to serve as a drop-in replacement for inefficient 78xx series linear regulators. This non-isolated DC/DC converter provides a stable 12V output at up to 2A from an input voltage range of 15V to 36V. Its 3-pin SIP package allows for easy integration into existing PCB layouts without requiring a heatsink.

Why Choose This Part

The converter achieves high efficiency which eliminates the need for bulky heatsinks, saving significant PCB space. It features a very low standby current of 1mA and includes integrated short-circuit protection for enhanced system robustness. The wide operating temperature range of -40degC to 85degC ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

Applications

Point of Load Regulation
Efficiently stepping down 24V industrial rails to 12V for local logic and peripheral power.
Battery Powered Systems
Extending battery life in portable equipment by minimizing heat dissipation compared to linear alternatives.
Commercial ITE
Powering information technology equipment where high reliability and thermal management are critical.

Getting Started

To integrate the TSR 2-24120, follow the standard 3-pin TO-220 pinout used by linear regulators (Vin, GND, Vout). While no external capacitors are strictly required for operation, adding a 10uF MLCC at the input is recommended to reduce EMI and voltage ripples in noise-sensitive applications. Ensure the input voltage remains between 15V and 36V to maintain regulation.
