in either the 4×1 straight male header strip or the 4×1 right-angle male header strip that is included.
Typical Efficiency and Output Current
The efficiency of a voltage regulator, defined as (Power out)/(Power in), is an important measure of its
performance, especially when battery life or heat are concerns. As shown in the graphs below, this
switching regulator typically has an efficiency of 80% to 90%.
Note that the above graphs apply to both the 300 mA and 600 mA versions, which is why the x axis
extends to 600 mA. You should not expect to get more than 300 mA from the 300 mA versions
(D24V3Fx).
Typical Dropout Voltage
The dropout voltage of a step-down regulator is the minimum amount by which the input voltage must
