7.5V Step-Up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator S8V9F7

Pololu's synchronous switching step-up/step-down regulator is a highly efficient device that generates a stable output of 7.5V from input voltages ranging between 1.4V and 16V. Notably, the regulator requires a minimum startup voltage of 2.7V but can continue to operate effectively at reduced voltages down to 1.4V. This feature makes it an ideal solution for applications powered by batteries that start above but discharge below 7.5V. The regulator's output current capabilities are influenced by the input voltage, with the ability to deliver over 1A continuously when input voltages are close to the output. This ensures a steady power supply even when input conditions fluctuate. One of the unique features of this Pololu regulator is the optional enable input. This can be used to transition the regulator into a low-power state, reducing its current draw to less than 15µA per volt on VIN. This feature contributes to the overall efficiency of the device, making it an energy-saving choice for your power regulation needs. The compact design of the regulator, measuring only 10.16mm x 16.51mm, allows for easy integration into your projects without taking up significant space. Despite its small size, it boasts a typical efficiency rate of 80% to 90%, demonstrating its high performance in power regulation. In conclusion, Pololu's synchronous switching step-up/step-down regulator is a versatile and efficient solution for managing power supply in applications where input voltage can vary significantly. Its unique features, compact size, and high efficiency make it a reliable choice for your voltage regulation needs.
