Pololu 6V, 5.5A Step-Down Voltage Regulator D36V50F6

Pololu 6V, 5.5A Step-Down Voltage Regulator D36V50F6

This powerful synchronous switching step-down (or buck) regulator takes an input voltage of up to 50 V and efficiently reduces it to 6 V. The board measures only 1? × 1? yet delivers typical maximum continuous output currents between 3.3 A and 8 A, depending on the input voltage, which makes it well suited for powering moderate to large loads. An optional enable input with a precise cutoff threshold can be used to put the regulator in a low-power state with a current draw of 10 µA to 20 µA per volt on VIN. The regulator also features reverse voltage protection and a power-good output that indicates when the regulator cannot adequately maintain the output voltage.

Overview

The D36V50Fx family of buck (step-down) voltage regulators generates lower output voltages from input voltages as high as 50 V. They are switching regulators (also called switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters), which makes them much more efficient than linear voltage regulators, especially when the difference between the input and output voltage is large. These regulators can typically support continuous output currents between 2 A and 9 A, depending on the input voltage and output voltage (see the Maximum continuous output current section below). In general, the available output current is a little higher for the lower-voltage versions than it is for the higher-voltage versions, and it decreases as the input voltage increases.

This family includes six versions with fixed output voltages ranging from 3.3 V to 12 V:

D36V50F3: Fixed 3.3V output
D36V50F5: Fixed 5V output
D36V50F6: Fixed 6V output
D36V50F7: Fixed 7.5V output
D36V50F9: Fixed 9V output
D36V50F12: Fixed 12V output

The regulators have input reverse voltage protection up to 40 V, output undervoltage and overvoltage protection, over-current protection, and short-circuit protection. A thermal shutdown feature also helps prevent damage from overheating and a soft-start feature limits the inrush current and gradually ramps the output voltage on startup.

If you do not need quite as much current, consider the very similar D36V28Fx family of step-down voltage regulators, which can deliver up to 4 A in a wide range of output voltages.

Features

Input voltage: 6.5 V to 50 V (minimum input subject to dropout voltage considerations; see the dropout voltage section for details)
Output voltage: 6 V with 4% accuracy
Typical maximum continuous output current: 3.3 A to 8 A (see the maximum continuous output current graph below)
Typical efficiency of 80% to 95%, depending on input voltage, output voltage, and load (see the efficiency graph below)
Switching frequency: ~500 kHz under heavy loads
Power-save mode with ultrasonic operation that increases light load efficiency by reducing switching frequency, but keeps it above the audible range (20 kHz)
2 mA to 4 mA typical no-load quiescent current (see the quiescent current graph below)
Enable input with precise cutoff threshold for disconnecting the load and putting the regulator into a low-power state that draws approximately 10 µA to 20 µA per volt on VIN
“Power good” output indicates when the regulator cannot adequately maintain the output voltage
Output undervoltage and overvoltage protection
Soft-start feature limits inrush current and gradually ramps output voltage
Integrated reverse-voltage protection up to 40 V, over-current and short-circuit protection, over-temperature shutoff
Compact size: 1? × 1? × 0.375? (25.4 mm × 25.4 mm × 9.5 mm)
Three 0.086? mounting holes for #2 or M2 screws

Notes:

1. Without included optional headers.
2. Subject to dropout voltage considerations. See the dropout voltage graph under the description tab for more information.
3. Typical continuous output current at 36 V in. Actual achievable continuous output current is a function of input voltage and is limited by thermal dissipation. See the output current graph under the description tab for more information.
4. To -40 V. Connecting supplies over 40 V in reverse can damage the device.
5. While enabled with no load. Can be reduced to under 1 mA using the enable pin.
