D24V50F5
This step-down (buck) regulator generates a fixed 5 V output from input voltages up to 38 V. It is a switching regulator (also called a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converter) and has a typical efficiency between 85% to 95%, which is much more efficient than linear voltage regulators, especially when the difference between the input and output voltage is large. The available output current is a function of the input voltage and efficiency (see the Typical Efficiency and Output Current section below), but the output current can typically be as high as 5 A. #Module #Step-Down #Regulator #D24V50F5 #Pololu #BuckConverter #DCDCConverter #VoltageRegulator #PowerSupply #EmbeddedSystems #Electronics #Robotics #PowerManagement #SMPS #5VRegulator
