The Pololu 9V, 2.6A Step-Down Voltage Regulator is a synchronous switching step-down (or buck) regulator that takes an input voltage of up to 50V and efficiently reduces it to 9V.


Features

  • Power-save mode with ultrasonic operation that increases light load efficiency by reducing switching frequency, but keeps it above the audible range (20 kHz)
  • 1 mA to 3 mA typical no-load quiescent current.
  • 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
  • Integrated reverse-voltage protection up to 40 V, over-current and short-circuit protection, over-temperature shutoff
  • Supports continuous output currents between 2 A and 4 A, depending on the input voltage and output voltage
  • “Power good” output indicates when the regulator cannot adequately maintain the output voltage
  • Switching regulator makes the regulator much more efficient than linear voltage regulators
  • Soft-start feature limits inrush current and gradually ramps output voltage
  • Lower output voltages from input voltages as high as 50 V
  • Output undervoltage and overvoltage protection
  • Two 0.086″ mounting holes for #2 or M2 screws
  • Compact size

CONNECTIONS

This regulator has six connections: power good (PG), enable (EN), input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and two ground (GND) connections.

The “power good” indicator, PG, is an open-drain output that goes low when the regulator’s output voltage either rises more than 20% above or falls more than 10% below the nominal voltage (with hysteresis). An external pull-up resistor is required to use this pin.

The regulator, which is enabled by default, can be put into a low-power sleep state by reducing the voltage on the EN pin below 1.2 V, and it can be brought out of this state again by increasing the voltage on EN past 1.35 V. The quiescent current draw in this sleep mode is dominated by the current in the 100 kΩ pull-up resistor from ENABLE to VIN and in the reverse-voltage protection circuit, which altogether will be between 10 µA and 20 µA per volt on VIN. The tight tolerance of the enable input allows a precise low-VIN cutoff to be set, such as with the output of an external voltage divider powered by VIN, which is useful for battery powered applications where draining the battery below a particular voltage threshold could permanently damage it.

The input voltage, VIN, powers the regulator. Voltages up to 50 V can be applied to VIN. Generally, the effective lower limit of VIN is VOUT plus the regulator’s dropout voltage, which varies approximately linearly with the load (see below for graphs of the dropout voltage as a function of the load).

VOUT is the regulated output voltage.

The six connections are arranged on a 0.1″ grid for compatibility with solderless breadboards, connectors, and other prototyping arrangements that use a 0.1″ grid. The PG connection is the only one not located along the edge of the board. A 6×1 straight male header strip and a 5×1 right-angle male header strip are included with the regulator; one pin of the straight header can optionally be broken off and soldered into PG.

TYPICAL EFFICIENCY

The 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.

MAXIMUM CONTINOUS OUTPUT CURRENT

The maximum achievable output current of these regulators varies with the input voltage but also depends on other factors, including the ambient temperature, air flow, and heat sinking. The graph below shows maximum output currents that these regulators can deliver continuously at room temperature in still air and without additional heat sinking.

QUIESCENT CURRENT

The quiescent current is the current the regulator uses just to power itself, and the graph below shows this for the different regulator versions as a function of the input voltage. The module’s EN input can be driven low to put the board into a low-power state where it typically draws between 10 µA and 20 µA per volt on VIN.

TYPICAL DROPOUT VOLTAGE

The dropout voltage of a step-down regulator is the minimum amount by which the input voltage must exceed the regulator’s target output voltage in order to ensure the target output can be achieved. For example, if a 5 V regulator has a 1 V dropout voltage, the input must be at least 6 V to ensure the output is the full 5 V. Generally speaking, the dropout voltage increases as the output current increases. The graph below shows the dropout voltages for the different members of this regulator family:

Lightweight, Comfortable Hoodie That’s Great for Everyday Wear
Color: Grey Green, Size: XX-Large
This hoodie turned out to be a really solid combination of comfort, performance, and casual style. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable while still providing enough warmth for cooler mornings and evenings. I especially like how soft and stretchy it feels without being bulky. The moisture-wicking, quick-drying material works well for workouts and outdoor activities, and it also looks clean enough for everyday casual wear. I’ve worn it to the gym, while traveling, and just around the house, and it’s been comfortable in every situation. The subtly textured design gives it a more premium appearance than a standard hoodie, and the fit strikes a nice balance between relaxed and athletic. It layers easily with jackets or can be worn on its own with joggers or jeans. Another big plus is the UPF protection, which makes it useful for outdoor activities like hiking, golf, or walking around in the sun. Overall, this is a versatile, comfortable, and stylish hoodie that works great for both active and casual use. Highly recommended!

A great lightweight hoodie.
Color: Light Dark Blue Grid, Size: X-Large
Another excellent M MAELREG product. I already have some pants and jackets from M MAELREG and figured this hoodie would be great as well and I was right. It is lightweight and very comfortable while also being warm. The material is smooth and soft to the touch with a stylish look to it that would work in tthe gym, on the golf course, or out about town. I really love the hood design, not having a single hem down the center lets the hood rest more naturally on your head. It fits as expected, I would prefer it to be a couple inches longer, but that's just my personal taste. Overall, this is an excellent lightweight hoodie.

Nice hoodie, very comfortable
Color: Misty Blue, Size: Medium
This hoodie feels lightweight and breathable which makes it good for golf, workouts, or just casual everyday wear. The fabric has a soft athletic feel and stretches enough to stay comfortable while moving around. It’s lighter than a standard sweatshirt, so it works better for layering or mild weather. I liked that it didn’t feel bulky while still giving some warmth during cooler mornings. The hood lays nicely and the material dries fairly quickly if you sweat in it. It also has a cleaner athletic look that pairs well with joggers, shorts, or golf pants without looking sloppy. One thing to note is it’s thinner than some people may expect from a hoodie, so it won’t replace a heavy sweatshirt in colder weather. The fit also runs slightly slim depending on build. Still, for sports, travel, or casual wear, it’s comfortable and easy to throw on without feeling heavy.

Great lightweight fabric, good design
Color: Grey Green, Size: Small, Color: Grey Green, Size: Small
This hoodie is a great athletic top. The size small fits my husband well, although it's a little loose in the arms. So if you have a leaner figure, you may find it a bit baggy. But the fabric is fantastic, a high-quality performance fabric that seems breathable and the UV protection is a great bonus. The sleeves are long enough to make good use of the thumb holes in cooler weather, and the color is a nice neutral, gray-green. For reference, the size small has a chest of about 42" (measured just under the sleeves) and a center back length of approx. 25".

Great Quality and Look
Color: Grey Green, Size: Medium
21st century materials are here to save us! :) M Maelreg does a great job utilizing those materials to the best of their ability. I've really become a fan of just about anything that they make, and this shirt is no exception. It's made from the very popular 88/12 Poly/spandex blend that has become ubiquitous in the fitness/active industry because of its amazing tensile characteristics- wicking, quick dry, UPF, and extra comfy against the skin. You get all of that here and a no-frills, really beautiful color to go along with a fit that is exactly true to size. I took the more form-fitting version for my 5'10" 175 lb. frame (I've found both L and M work from these guys, M for a more tailored look) and it's exactly right- enough room to move around comfortably and breathe, not so tight that it's hugging my belly. It's super lightweight and really easy to launder (I hang dry mine to prevent pilling and wrinkles), cold/low and a medium/low heat iron to rid those stubborn factory wrinkles and you shouldn't ever need to iron it again. Another great offering from the folks at Maelreg.
