Pololu Fine Adjust Step-Down Voltage Regulator, VIN: 3.3-45V, VOUT: [email protected]

The Pololu D30V3x series fine-adjust step-down voltage regulators efficiently convert high input voltages (up to 45 V) into lower, adjustable output voltages ranging from 1.4 V to 7 V. Utilizing advanced synchronous buck converter technology, these regulators offer superior efficiency compared to linear voltage regulators, especially when dealing with large input-output voltage differentials. They support typical continuous output currents between  1A and 5A, with current capability dependent on input and output voltages and thermal dissipation.

4853-006

Key features include reverse voltage protection up to 40 V, under-voltage lockout, over-current and short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. A soft-start function ensures gradual output voltage ramp-up, and a built-in 11-turn precision potentiometer enables fine output voltage adjustment. Additional highlights are its low dropout voltage, power-save mode for light load efficiency, and a "power good" output for voltage monitoring. Compact and robust, this regulator is ideal for various electronics and power supply applications.

Typical dropout voltage

The dropout voltage of a step-down regulator is the minimum amount by which the input voltage must exceed the regulator’s target output voltage in order to ensure the target output can be achieved. For example, if a 5 V regulator has a 1 V dropout voltage, the input must be at least 6 V to ensure the output is the full 5 V. Generally speaking, the dropout voltage increases as the output current increases. The graph below shows the dropout voltages at several different output voltages as a function of output current
