Features
Switching
Regulator
•  Efficiency up to 94%, no need for heatsinks
•  Pin compatible with LM78XX linears
•  Low profile (L/W/H=11.5 x 7.55 x 10.2mm)
•  Wide input range
•  Short circuit protection, thermal shutdown
•  Low ripple and noise
•  IEC/EN60950-1 certified
R-78-1.0
Description
The R-78xx-1.0 series switching regulators are ideally suited to replace 1 Amp 78xx linear regulators 
and are pin compatible. Efficiencies of up to 94% mean that very little energy is wasted as heat so there 
is no need for any heat sinks with their additional space and mounting costs.
