•  Low ripple and noise
•   „L“ version with 90° pins
R-78B-1.0(L)
Description
The R-78Bxx-1.0 series high efficiency switching regulators are ideally suited to replace 78xx 
linear regulators and are pin compatible. The efficiency of up to 97% 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.

Specifications (measured @ Ta= 25°C, 10% minimum load, unless otherwise stated) 
Notes:
  Note2:  Operation under no load will not harm the converter, but specifications may not be met
    A minimum load of 10mA is recommended
  Note3:  Output Ripple and Noise is tested from 10% to 100% load
