The R-78K3.3-0.5 is a non-isolated DC/DC switching regulator designed to deliver a fixed 3.3V output with a current of 0.5A. It operates over a wide input voltage range from 4.5VDC to 36VDC and features high efficiency of up to 96%, eliminating the need for a heatsink. Key features include an output voltage accuracy of ±2.7% maximum, continuous short circuit protection with automatic recovery, and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C without derating. Housed in a compact SIP3 package, it is pin-compatible with 78 series regulators, offering an efficient upgrade for various board-level power applications.
