OVERVIEW

The MINMAX M78AR-0.5 series is a new range of switching regulators designed as a drop-in replacement for old LM78xx linear regulators with low efficiency.The very high efficiency of these step-down converters allow an operating temperature up to 80℃ at full-load without need of any heatsink. The regulators come in a package which fits in the standard TO-220 footprint of linear regulators. The high efficiency and low stand-by power consumption of these switching regulators offer the designer a new, cost-efficient solution for many applications
