They take input voltages from 2.8 V to 22 V and increase or decrease them as necessary, offering a typical efficiency of over 85% and typical continuous output currents between 1 A and 3 A. The flexibility in input voltage offered by this family of regulators is especially well-suited for battery-powered applications in which the battery voltage begins above 5 V and drops below as the battery discharges. Without the typical restriction on the battery voltage staying above the required voltage throughout its life, new battery packs and form factors can be considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This family consists of the S13V30F5, which is a larger (0.9″ × 0.9″) high-current version:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/product\/4082\"\u003eS13V30F5: 3 A continuous output current\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eand three extra-compact (0.35″ × 0.475″) lower-current versions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/product\/4083\"\u003eS13V10F5: 1 A continuous output current\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/product\/4084\"\u003eS13V15F5: 1.5 A continuous output current\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/product\/4085\"\u003eS13V20F5: 2 A continuous output current\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The regulators have under-voltage lockout, output over-voltage protection, and over-current protection.

If these spikes exceed the regulator's maximum voltage, the regulator can be destroyed. If you are connecting more than about 15 V, using power leads more than a few inches long, or using a power supply with high inductance, we recommend soldering a 33 μF or larger electrolytic capacitor close to the regulator between VIN and GND. The capacitor should be rated for at least 35 V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e More information about LC spikes can be found in our application note, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/docs\/0J16\"\u003eUnderstanding Destructive LC Voltage Spikes\u003c\/a\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pololu","offers":[{"title":"2-4 Weeks","offer_id":47696712696153,"sku":"POL-4084","price":13.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 day","offer_id":47886005240153,"sku":"POL-4084\/A","price":13.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1009\/7753\/files\/0J11537.1200.jpg?v=1705456798","url":"https:\/\/robot-italy.com\/en\/products\/4084-5v-1-5a-step-up-step-down-voltage-regulator-s13v15f5","provider":"Robot Italy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
