Efficiency up to 95%, no heatsinks required
Pin-out compatible with LM78XX linears
Low profile (L/W/H=11.5 x 8.5 x 17.5mm)
Wide input range
Short circuit protection, thermal shutdown
Low ripple and noise
„L“ version with 90° pins
DC/DC Converter
R-78B-1.5(L)
The R-78Bxx-1.5 series high efficiency switching regulators are ideally suited to replace 78xx
linear regulators and are pin compatible. The efficiency of up to 95% means that very little energy is
wasted as heat so there is no need for any heat sinks with their additional space and mounting costs.
The L-Version with 90° pins allows direct replacement for laid-flat regulators where component height is
at a premium. Low ripple and noise figures and a short circuit input current of typically only 10mA round
off the specifications of this versatile converter series.

Optional Diode Protection Circuit
Optional Protection 1:
Add a blocking diode to Vout if
current can flow backwards into
the output, as this can damage the
converter when it is powered down.
The diode can either be fitted
across the device if the source is
low impedance or fitted in series
with the output (recommended).
