The compact (0.4″ × 0.575″) module can supply over 400 mA in typical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pololu step-up\/step-down voltage regulator S10V4F5 is a switching regulator (also called a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converter) with a single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) topology. It takes an input voltage from 2.5 V to 18 V and increases or decreases the voltage to a fixed 5 V output with a typical efficiency of 70% to 80%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flexibility in input voltage is especially well-suited for battery-powered applications in which the battery voltage begins above 5 V and drops below as the battery discharges. Since it lacks the typical restriction that the battery voltage stay above the required voltage throughout its life, new battery packs and form factors can be considered. For instance, a 4-cell battery holder, which might have a 6 V output with fresh alkalines but a 4.8 V nominal voltage with NiMH cells and a 4 V output with partially discharged cells, can now be used for a 5 V circuit. In another typical scenario, a disposable 9 V battery powering a 5 V circuit can be discharged to under 3 V instead of cutting out at 6 V, as with typical linear or step-down regulators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn typical applications, this regulator can deliver over 400 mA continuous; please see the graphs at the bottom of this page for a more detailed characterization.

The quiescent current in this shutdown mode is dominated by the current in the 10 kΩ pull-up resistor from SHDN to VIN. With SHDN held low, this resistor will draw 0.1 mA per volt on VIN (for example, the shutdown current with a 5 V input will be 0.5 mA). This pin should only ever be driven low or left floating; this can be accomplished with a physical switch that toggles it between ground and disconnected, or electrically with something like a transistor controlled by an I\/O line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input voltage should be between 2.5 V and 18 V. Lower inputs can shut down the voltage regulator; \u003cstrong\u003ehigher inputs can destroy the regulator\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you should ensure that noise on your input is not excessive and be wary of destructive LC spikes (see below for more information).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Efficiency and Output Current\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe efficiency of a voltage regulator, defined as (Power out)\/(Power in), is an important measure of its performance, especially when battery life or heat are concerns.

The graph below shows output currents at which this voltage regulator’s over-temperature protection typically kicks in after a few seconds. These currents represent the limit of the regulator’s capability and cannot be sustained for long periods, so the continuous currents that the regulator can provide are typically lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/0J4314.1200.png?v=1581949161\u0026amp;width=700\" alt\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLC Voltage Spikes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen connecting voltage to electronic circuits, the initial rush of current can cause voltage spikes that are much higher than the input voltage. If these spikes exceed the regulator’s maximum voltage, the regulator can be destroyed. In our tests with typical power leads (~30\" test clips), input voltages above 11 V caused spikes over 18 V. You can suppress such spikes by soldering a 33 μF or larger electrolytic capacitor close to the regulator between VIN and GND.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore information about LC spikes can be found in our application note, Understanding Destructive LC Voltage Spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Pi Hut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55919685501001,"sku":"eku1787258123402","price":2.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/7185\/7993\/files\/pololu-5v-step-upstep-down-voltage-regulator-s10v4f5-discontinued_1.jpg?v=1787258128","url":"https:\/\/streetclad.shop\/products\/pololu-5v-step-upstep-down-voltage-regulator-s10v4f5-discontinued","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
