MicroPower Direct Expands Its Product Line
MicroPower Direct has unveiled three new models in its MSR78xx series of point-of-load (POL) switching regulators, designed to meet the evolving needs of engineers in various industries. These new products offer an efficient alternative to the traditional LM78xx linear regulators, providing a peak efficiency of 97% while significantly minimizing space and thermal footprint.
Driving Innovation in Power Solutions
In today’s fast-paced engineering landscape, there is increasing pressure on designers to create smaller, more efficient circuits without generating excess heat. Recognizing this trend, MicroPower Direct has developed its latest MSR78xx regulators that not only deliver an impressive output performance but also simplify design complexities.
As explained by Amy Anahory, the company’s CEO, “Engineers are under pressure to shrink designs, cut heat, and keep costs in check. That's where the MSR78xx series fits — it improves circuit thermal performance without complicating the rest of the design.”
Features of the New MSR78xx Series
The new model lineup includes:
- - MSR7805BW (0.5A)
- - MSR7810BW (1A)
- - MSR7820CW (2A)
Key benefits include:
- - Up to 97% efficiency, eliminating the need for heatsinks
- - Integrated short-circuit and over-temperature protection
- - Wide operational temperature range from –40°C to +85°C
- - Low-noise switching design, ideal for sensitive applications
- - Compact SIP3 footprint allows for streamlined integration
These features position the MSR78xx series as a suitable option for applications in sectors like industrial automation, test and measurement, and embedded power systems, including energy, medical, and defense applications.
Meeting Industry Standards
Additionally, the MSR78xx regulators have been rigorously tested against the EN 55032 Class B EMC standards and meet crucial immunity thresholds defined by IEC 61000-4 when used with the specified input filter. This ensures reliability and performance in demanding environments.
